Chapter Twelve: Fahrenheit 932 and Boom (I made up the storyline about Las Vegas Jr high blowing up, I also made up the name of the victim and murder.)
Its 8:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning David and Destiny are at Jack Dinner on a breakfast date. They are sitting next to each other and Destiny is resting her head on David Shoulder why they are waiting for their food to arrive. Destiny's yawn really big and David's looks at his girlfriend.
"Destiny's do you want me to take you home after we eat and skip the walk in the park?"
"No, we are spending the day together like we plan, I can sleep tonight, seeing I have the night off and so do you.
"I am just checking, I know you had a couple of hard long days and have not been able to get any sleep."
"I don't want to go home, David."
"Ok, look Destiny's are food here.
David and Destiny start to eat their food, but Destiny's still resting her head on David shoulder as she eating her breakfast. As she is eating she is thinking about what her and Sara talked about in the locker room as she was get her jacket and purse.
"Destiny's, let me take you home you can hardly keep you eyes open."
"No, I promise David we would spend the day together, seeing that both of us have the night off."
"Destiny, you are going to make yourself sick if you keep push yourself so hard at work and spending all of your time off with David!"
"I love him Sara and he loves me and he the first guy that I allow myself to love since I break up with the boyfriend I had in college that beat me up for three and half years."
"Ok, but go to your house or his and watch movies and take it easy."
"Ok."
As she is thinking about what she and Sara talked about Destiny fall asleep, David lets her sleep as he finishes eating his breakfast. He then gets a takeout box to put her breakfast in so she can eat it later. He then lightly shakes her and wakes Destiny up. Destiny open up her eyes and look up at David.
"Sorry, I must have been more tired then I thought I was."
"That ok how about we go back to my place and just relax and watch some movies?"
"Ok, that sounds good."
They get up for the booth the two of them were sitting in. David then warps his right arm around Destiny's waist and has her takeout box in his left hand. They walk over to the counter and pay for the two meals, then they go out to David car. David drives and Destiny close her eyes on the ride to David's apartment. When they get to David's apartment the two of them walk into the building and walk up the stairs to the second floor and down the hallway to the fifth apartment on the right side. David unlocks the door and then the two of them head inside and Destiny goes and sit down on the couch. David walks into the kitchen area and puts Destiny left over in the refrigerator. David walks over to the living room and turn the tv on and the sight that comes onto the screen is something that shock both of them. Las Vegas Jr high School blows up in front of Destiny and David eyes, and all the student body is watching the school blow up. Just then Destiny cellphone start ringing. She looks at the number on the caller ID and sees Gil Grissom Cellphone number is on the caller ID. Destiny sighs as she flips her phone open and takes his call.
"Destiny Kessler specking"
"Hi, I know it your day off, but I need you to come to Las Vegas Jr high school because the school has just blow up."
"Who is working this case?"
"You and Nick."
"What about you?"
" I have a different case that I am working on with Sara and Warrick, we have to prove that a Thomas Smith did not set fire to his house to kill his family. But I will be at the school to fill you in on what going on when you get there."
"Ok, I will be there in ten, but is Catherine working any of the cases?"
"No, she had to leave work early last night because her mom had to rush Lindsey to the ER she was running a high fever and her tonsils were swollen up making really hard for her to breath, and Lindsey is still in the hospital, so she need to be there for her."
"Ok, Bye."
"Bye"
Destiny and Gil hang up and Destiny's look at David who is in the Kitchen making a pot of coffee. He looks over at his girlfriend and he sees that beside being exhausted, she has a sad look on her face.
"What is wrong Sweetie?"
" I have to go into work, can you drop me off at Las Vegas jr. high school?"
"Sure, I will put your coffee into a travel mug."
"Thanks, I am so not in the mood to go work this morning!"
"There is no other CSI that could go to the scene beside you?"
"NO, David.
"Lindsey Willow still in the hospital then?"
"Yes and Warrick and Sara are working a case with Grissom and Nick with me."
Destiny's stand up from the couch and walks over to the kitchen. She takes the travel mug that has her coffee in it from David. Then the two of them walk out of David's apartment and to David's car. As David divers to the crime scene, Destiny leans the passenger seat back and closes her eyes and on the way to the scene it starts rain. When David pulls his car into the parking lot of Las Vegas jr high school, he parks it in the free space next to one of the crime lab suv and then turns his car off. David looks over and Destiny who is sound asleep. David's tap his girlfriends left shoulder and whisper into her left ear.
"Wake up sweetie, it is time to go to work"
Destiny's open her eyes and turns her head so it is facing David. She set the seat up and then take a long drink of coffee from the travel mug. She then opens the car door and gets out. Destiny walks to the back of the car as David hits the truck button. She then gets her kit out from the trunk of David's car. Once Destiny close the truck, Destiny and David walk over to Gil and David is rubbing both of Destiny's arms as a way to warm her up, because she is shivering and at the sometime she is talking to Gil Grissom.
"David's why are you at the crime scene we do not need a coroner, no one has dead here and there are only a few injuries?"
"I give Destiny a ride we were spend the day together, Grissom."
"That right, sorry I forget."
"What do you need me to do, Grissom?"
"Nick's already take the photo of the scene, so help find and collect all the parts of the bomb used to blow the school up."
" Ok."
"I need to go now."
"Do you want me to stay Destiny?"
"No, go home David's I will call you when I get off work."
"Ok."
Destiny watch David's get into his car and drive off, then she set her kit down on the sidewalk and opens the kit up. She takes out a pair of latex gloves. She puts the latex gloves on and the sometime Nick looks up from process the crime scene and watch Destiny's walks into crumbing remains of the Las Vegas Jr high school. Nick can see that his co-worker look exhaust. The month of May has been a long month for all of them, so far and it is only the beginning of the third week of May. Nick goes back to work processing the scene at the sometime Destiny start to help process the scene. Thirty minutes later at the Smith house Grissom, Sara and Warrick are reprocessing the house, which used to be a day shift case that Conrad Ecklie was lead on, to see if they could find any prove that the fire was not arson. Sara takes the room the fire start in and Warrick takes the son bedroom. Gil Grissom takes the living room, which is where the fireman thrown everything. Sara walks out of the master bedroom and walk into the living and over to Grissom.
"I need you to look at something on the closet floor."
"Sure Sara."
Grissom follows Sara into the master bedroom, which is were the fire had started at. Gil Grissom looks at the floor and he sees broken glass melt into the closet floor. He then looks at the election outlet and notices it's burnt.
"What do you think Grissom?"
"Bad wires could have started the fire, look at the outlet Sara."
Sara kneels in front of the closet and takes a close look at the outlet and at the sometime Warrick walks into the master bedroom and over to Grissom and Sara.
"The outlet has burn marks leading down to the glass, Grissom!"
"Mr. Smith told me that he and his wife were having a fight and she throw a glass light that use oil to work and that there was a space heat in the living room where the fireman throw everything that was original in this room."
"If there was a short circuited in the outlet, it could have started the fire, Grissom."
"Yes Warrick and the oil on the closet floor made a small fire bigger and lead Ecklie to think it was arson."
"I think Ecklie did a rush job process this scene, Grissom!"
"Me too, Warrick!"
"Let's gather all the new evidences up and then go to the lab.
"(Gil and Warrick) Ok."
They put the evidence into evidence bags, then put evidence into the back of the suv. Gil and Sara drive both of suv's to the crime lab and Warrick ride with Sara. Once back at the lab they get to work to find out if Mr. Smith is telling the truth. Two hours later at Nick and Destiny's crime scene, Nick and Destiny are packing the back of the suv that Nick drive to the scene fill of all the bomb part that they were able to find. From what they were able to find there were five bombs used. When they are finish put all the evidence into the suv Nick's get into the diver side and Destiny's get into the passenger side of the suv. Nick turns the suv on and then turns the radio on and changes the station to a country music station. Nick then turns the volume up on the radio, to keep Destiny and him up seeing that neither of them had got any sleep before being call back into work. When Nick pulls the crime lab suv into the crime lab parking lot nineteen later, he parks it in the second space reserved for crime lab suv. After Nick put the suv into park and turn the suv off, the two crime scene investigators get out of the suv.

Ten minutes later Nick and Destiny's have checked the evidence into the lab. Nick and Destiny then swab the part of the bomb for residue. Nick then takes the swabs to Toxicologist, as Destiny's dust the part of the bombs for fingerprints, which she finds on all the pieces of the bombs. Destiny takes the prints to the computer lab to run them through AFIS and Nick starts to put the bomb back together to see what type of bomb was used. Destiny's scanners the fingerprint into the system and then hit searches. As the prints are running, she close her eyes and fall asleep. She does not wake up to Nick walks up behind her and tap her shoulder. Destiny looks up at the computer screen then at Nick and rubs her eyes.
"Sorry, I have not got any sleep the last couple days, I have been working a very imported case."
"That ok Destiny and look we have a match on the fingerprint to a Mark Grape."
"Good, I will go let Jim Brass knew and have him bring Mark Grape in."
"It looks like he works for the school as the gym teacher."
"Was, look it say he was fire because three female student say he was sexual assault them, and the students was telling the truth about being sexual assault, Nick!"
