Meanwhile, at Destiny's house David has taken a night off work and he is over at his girlfriend house keeping an eye on her, because she has been sick since Saturday morning. David gets wakening from a sound sleep by Destiny's who shook him and now Destiny is setting up in bed blowing her nose. David set up and looks at Destiny who is now holding her throat and crying.

"Ok."
David and Destiny get out of bed and David throws on his jeans and a t-shirt. He then walks into the hallway and up to Dekota's bedroom door. David knocks on the bedroom door and after the third knock Dekota opens her bedroom door and she is rubbing her eyes with her left hand.

Dekota takes a good look at her older sister, who is still wearing her pink pajama top and pant that have yellow Rubber Ducky's on them, Dekota is shock at how flush her sister looks, but at the sometime she looks pale then normal too. Destiny can see that her little sister is getting worried about her by the expressions on her face.
"I will be fine Dekota, just go back to bed and get Ah-choo more sleep, so you can have a good morning training because the national gymnastics championship is coming up soon, coughing, and it will be you first one since becoming the sliver medalist in the Olympic all-around last summer."
"I know Destiny's. If I want to be the gold medal in the all-around at the 2004 summer Olympic, I have to work twice as hard as I did go into 2000 summer Olympics, Because there is twice as much pressure on you when you are going for a spot a Olympics team for the second time and compete in the Olympics for the second time. I have heard this speech from you, my old coach and new coach countless time now."
"Ok, I will see you later, bye."
"Bye David and Destiny."
"Dekota's do you want me or Destiny to leave a voice mail on your cellphone when we found out what she has?"
"Yes, David that would be nice."
"OK, either Destiny or I will leave you a voice mail on your cellphone then, Bye."
Dekota watch David and Destiny walk into the kitchen and out of her view, she then goes into her bedroom and lay down in her bed. Once outside David helps Destiny's into his car and then take her to Desert palm hospital emergency room. In the morning when Dekota wakes up at 4:30 a.m., which is only an hour after laying back down she finds that her sister and David are not back from the emergency room yet.

She walks outside and over to her sisters' car. She opens the back door on the driver side and puts her backpack and gym bag on the backseat. She gets into the car and backs out of the driveway. She then drives to Cat Gymnastics Center for her three-hours practice before school, which is down the road from North Las Vegas high school (where she goes to school). Three and half hours later at Sara Sidle's apartment it's 8:00 a.m. when Sara wakes up to her alarm clock buzzes in her ear, she hit the off bottom and she sits up in her bed. Wishing she had got a better night sleep, she toss and turn all night because the Tums and Ibuprofen did not help to relieve the stomach cramps, which she still has, plus now she is nausea. She slowly gets out of bed and walk into the living room, she makes it as far as the couch when she grabs her stomach and falls down onto the couch. Because of stabbing pains that are shooting through her stomach and becomes more painful on her right side. She grabs the cordless phone that was on the coffee table and call Catherine.

Catherine and Sara hang up the phones and at the same time Sara stands up. She then walks into her bedroom and put the phone into the cordless phone holder that on the night stand. Sara then walks out of her bedroom into the living room and over to the bathroom door. Sara walks into the bathroom, holding her stomach with her right hand. She walks up to the bathroom sink and looks into the bathroom mirror to sees that she looks flush. Sara opens up the medicine cabinet and takes out her digital Thermometer. She puts the digital thermometer into her mouth then takes a set on the edge of the bathtub, while she waits for the digital Thermometer to start beeping. When the thermometer starts beeping, she takes it out of her mouth and sees that she has a fever of 102.1. She stands up and puts the thermometer into the medicine cabinet. After she closes the medicine cabinet, Sara walks out of the bathroom and to the kitchen. She opens the refrigerator and grabs a bottle of water. She then stares into the refrigerator trying to think of something to eat for breakfast, she grabs the jar of strawberry jam and close the refrigerator door. She set the strawberry jam jar on the counter along with the bottle of water and grabs two slices of bread. She then put the two slices of bread into the toaster. She pushes the knob down on the toaster. She then leans up against the counter as she waits for the toasts to get done and is thinking why am I even making toasts I do not have an appetite. The toaster knob pop up and Sara walks over to the toaster and opens a cabinet and gets a plate down, she then takes the toasts out of the toaster and puts the toasts onto a plate. She then open the jam up and grabs a knife, then put the strawberry jam onto both slices of toasts. Sara put the knife into the kitchen sink and then she puts the jam back in the refrigerator. After she close the refrigerator door, she walks over to counter. She stands at the counter and eats her two slices of toast and drinks a few sips of water. When she has finish eating, she put the plate into the kitchen sink and then grabs the bottle of water off of the counter. She then walks into her bedroom and set the bottle of water on the nightstand. Sara then walks over to her dresser and grabs a nightshirt. She changes out of the jean and shirt that she had wear to work yesterday night and puts the black nightshirt on. She walks into the living room and grabs the bottle of Tums ultra and Ibuprofen. Sara opens the Tums ultra bottle and takes two of the Tums ultras out off the bottle and then close the bottle. She puts the Tums ultra into her mouth and chews them as she walks into her bedroom.

She set the Ibuprofen bottle on the night stand. Then puts the Ibuprofen pills into her mouth, she grabs the water bottle off of the night stand and opens it up. She takes a couple sips of water and swallow the pills. She put the bottle of water back on the night stand and then lay down in her bed and pulls the covers up because she is cold. Meanwhile, in the emergency room, Destiny has just been put into an examination room after waiting in the waiting room for four hours. Destiny is laying on the hospital bed that is in the examination room and David is pace the room, as the two of them wait for the nurse to come back into the examination room with a doctor. Four minute later two nurses walk through the door into the examination room that Destiny's is in. One of the nurses is carrying a tray full of medical supply and instrument. The nurse carrying the tray set the tray on the Bed Tray Table, which is up against the wall.
"I am nurse Jayne and my co-worker is nurse Giant. I showed the paperwork you filled out when you get here Miss. Kessler's to Dr. White he wants me to do a Rapid antigen detection test, along with taken your temperature. I will also be checking your blood pressure and draw blood to check for infections. And then the doctor will come in and see you Miss. Kessler."
"Ok."
Nurse Jayne draws the blood first and Nurse Giant takes the test tubes of blood from her co-worker. She then walks out of the room to take the blood sample to the lab. At the sometime nurse Jayne is taking Destiny blood pressure, which is fine. Nurse Jayne then does the Rapid antigen detection test and way the test is running she puts the ear thermometer into Destiny's right ear to take her temperature. And at the sometime Destiny mother walks through the examination room door and over to her daughters bedside, which makes David's stop pace and stand still.
"Who are you?"
"I am Heather Kessler and I am Destiny Kessler's mother."
"What are you doing here mom, I did not call to tell you that David was taking me to the emergency room, coughing?"
"Both Dekota and David call me, Dekota just tell me you were sick and David was taking you to the emergency room. But David say he was worried about you and he thought I should be here, I come to see how you are doing and also be here for you."
Destiny's looks at the nurse, to her mother and then looks at David, who looks away from Destiny to Heather Kessler and then back at Destiny and at the sometime the ear thermometer starts beeping. Nurse Jayne takes the thermometer out of Destiny's ear and looks to see what it says.
"You fever is 103.9, the doctor will be in soon to see you and let you know what the Rapid antigen detection test and the blood work say. Dr. White will also take a look at your throat. Along with feeling your neck to see if the lymph nodes are swollen or tender."
"Ahem, ok."
Nurse Jayne writes down what Destiny temperature is on her chart and set the chart on the Bed Tray Table, next to the tray. The nurse then walks out of the examination room and she close the door behind her. David who has felt the tension in the room increase since Heather Kessler came into the room, is trying to think of a way to break the tension. But the only thing that keeps going through his mind is where have I seen Heather Kessler before, Destiny's notice that David can't take his off of her mother and Heather also notice that David is staring at her. Heather Kessler walks over to David, who eyes follow Heather as she walks over to him. Heather stares at David who continues to stare at her.
"Have we met before today, Mrs. Kessler?"
"No!"
"Why do you look so familiar then, Mrs. Kessler?"
"Have you seen the advertisement for Lady Heather domination?"
"Yes."
"Then that is where you see me before, David!"
"You are Lady Heather from Lady Heather domination?"
"Coughing, Yes David's my mother is Lady Heather from Lady Heather domination!"
"David's you like to switch up being the submission one night and the next are the domination and you are the only guy that Destiny has ever let be the domination, since college."
"Destiny you did not tell your mom that I like to change it up when it comes to who is submission or domination?"
"No, Ah-choo."
"Bless you."
"Thanks mom."
"Your mom's great at reading people, I have never told anyone beside you Destiny that I like to change it up when it comes to who is submission or domination."
"It is my line of work, I have to be great at reading people."
"You look a lot like your mother Destiny."
"I do and I don't, I have brown eyes, my mom has green eyes. I have dark brown hair and my mom also has dark brown hair."
"I think you have your mom lips"
"Yes, David, Destiny lips are close to mine then there are her father lips."
"Ahem, but my identical twin and I have our father nose, Coughing. Also, my identical twin and I eye sharp is more like our mother, which I am glad that my identical twin and I do not have our father eye sharp. We would not like good with roundish Almond sharp eyes! "
"Destiny and her identical twin have my ears too."
"And that a good thing that I and my identical twin have our mom ears, we would look horrible if we had my fathers' big ears coughing."
The three of them start laughing and at the sometime Dr. White knocks on the examination room door and then walks into the room carrying the paperwork with the result to Destiny blood work. Dr. White walks over to the bed tray table and picks up Destiny Kessler's chart and hooks the paperwork he was carrying to the chart. He then takes a look at the Rapid antigen detection test and it is positive for strep throats, Dr. White writes the result of the test onto the chart and then Dr. White takes the penlight out from the pocket of his lab coat. He walks over to Destiny and set the chart down onto the bed.
"I am Dr. White and the Rapid antigen detection test came out positive and your white blood cell count is high, which is normal when you are fighting an infection. Your red blood cell count is normal and your Platelet count is normal too. I want to take a look at your throat now Destiny can you open you mouth for me?"
"Sure."
Destiny opens her mouth and Dr. White's shine the penlight into her mouth, when he finishes looking at Destiny's throat he writes what he saw on her chart and then feel Destiny's neck, which confirm that her lymph nodes are swollen and tender. He then takes his stethoscope off his neck and puts the eartip into his eyes. Dr. White help Destiny set up and then puts the stethoscope chest piece onto her back . Dr. White listens to her lungs on both sides and then put the stethoscope on the chest over the heart and listens to her heart for a minute. Dr. White's take the stethoscope ear tip out of his ears and then puts the stethoscope around his neck. He writes down what he heard on the chart then looks up at Destiny, Heather and David.
"What did you see Dr. White when you look at my throat?"
"I sew that you have both white and yellow patches on your tonsil and throat, I notice your throat was very red. I also notice that your tonsils are swollen and when I felt you neck it confirms that your lymph nods are swollen and tender. But on a better note you do not have fluid in your lungs.
"So what Ah-choo do I have?"
"You have Strep throat and Tonsillitis, is there any medication you cannot take?"
"I am allergic to penicillin, but that is, coughing the only medication that I am allergic too."
"I am going to write you a prescription for erythromycin 250 tables and I want you to take one table two times a day for ten days. Do you want a prescription cough suppressant?"
"Yes, it would be Ah-choo, nice to be able to get some sleep."
"I will write you a prescription for Benzonatate 200mg three times a day and do you want me to write you a prescription for a decongestant?"
"Ah-choo, yes."
"Ok I will write a prescription for pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) 120 mg caplets every twelve hours. And you can take Benadryl if you need some relief from the running nose."
"Ok, can I go home now?"
"Sure I will write out the prescriptions and then tell the nurse in charge of you that you are ready to be discharge."
"Thanks."
Dr. White writes out the prescriptions and hands the three prescriptions to Destiny. Dr. White then walks out of the examination room and he closes the door behind him. Destiny hands the prescriptions to David and he takes then from her.
"Will you go to the hospital pharmacy to get my three prescriptions' fill for me and also pick up Benadryl too?"
"Sure, Destiny I will be back in a few minutes, I have a friend who works in the pharmacy here."
David walks out of the examination room and he close the door behind him. Heather takes a set on the hospital bed and takes Destiny left hand in her hands. She then takes a long look at her daughter and remembers the day that Destiny and Danielle were born and how she only got to spent two days in the hospital with her twin daughter before they fathers' took them to his house to raises, since he was out of school and had a steady job and she was still in school and was underage. It was not her choice but her parents choice and a choice she did not care for in 1971 or now, she wanting to keep them and raise the girls herself. The only four things her parents and the babies' father allowed her to do were chose the girls first names and put both the fathers' last name and her last name on the birth certificate, so the girls would have both parents' last names and write each daughter a letter that would be given to them at age eleven, to tell them the reason they mom could not keep them and way the father raises them instead of her. Also that if that want to meet her, she would love to meet them.
"Mom, what are you thinking about right now?"
"The day you and your twin sister were born and how I only get too spent two days with the two of you before your father took you and your sister to his house to raise!"
"It was not you choice mom, we know that you wanting to keep us. And we came to see you every summer after we got your letters, coughing at the age of eleven, Ah-choo."
"I know, I just wish that I could have been there for the two of you during the first ten years of Danielle and your life and that maybe if I were in the picture, I could have prevented what your father put Danielle and you through. I also wish that my parent and I knew how dishonest and perverted your father was and then maybe things would have been different for you and Danielle."
"You did not know and neither did your parents. Danielle, Dekota and my father hide his true self from everyone, coughing, that wasn't his daughters'. You learn one lesson from the whole thing and that was how to read people. And maybe what happened to Danielle, Dekota and I were destiny to happen, we can't change the past mom so let not linger on it."
"Ok, and on a different note David and you seem to be happy together and the two of you also seem to be truly in love with each other."
"We are mom, I think he is my soul mate!"
"Then do not let him get away from you."
Just then the door to the examination room opens and David carrying a bag from the pharmacy and Nurse Jayne carrying the discharges papers that Destiny has to sign walks into the room. Nurse Jayne and David walk over to Destiny bedside and the nurse hand her the discharge papers to sign. Destiny's take the paperwork and pen from the nurse and sign them. Destiny hands the sign paperwork to Nurse Jayne.
"You are free to go now, Just remember that you have to pushes the fluids and you also need to get plenty of rest."
"I will, thanks Nurse Jayne."
"You are welcome!"
"I will go pull the car up to the ER doors."
"Thanks."
Nurse Giant comes into the examination room pushing a wheelchair, the nurse pushes the wheelchair over to the bed and then puts the breaks on. David walks out of the examination room and at the same time Heather's helps her daughter into the wheelchair. Nurse Gaint then pushes Destiny out of the examination room and to the main doors of the ER. Meanwhile, Catherine has now take Lindsey to school, run to the bakery to pick up Lindsey birthday cake and drop the cake off at home. She then went to the crime lab and pick up the evidence for the Miss. Garris kidnap case, which she is testify at. She is now sitting outside the courtroom waiting to get call into to give her testimony. As she waiting to be call into court she reads over Sara note, so she knows what to say when she is on the stand. She had just finished read through Sara notes, as Greg walking toward the courtroom and when he sees Catherine sitting on the bench outside of the courtroom he walks up to Catherine.
"Catherine's I know I would be seeing Nick here since he is taking Destiny place testify. Why are you here, you are not give testimony in this case?"
"Sara 's called me this morning and ask me to testify for her, because she has a stomachache!"
"Sara never gets sick or has someone cover for her in court. She must feel awful to have call and ask you to fill in for her in court today?"
"She sounded like she was in a lot of pain Greg."
"That not good and does the judge know that you are taking Sara place?"
"Yes I told him, when I drop the evidence off to him and the lawyers."
"That right Sara was also responsible for bringing the evidence to court today."
Nick comes walking over to Catherine and Greg who has just set down next to Catharine on the bench. He takes a set next to Greg and takes index cards out of his dress pant pocket, which have notes on what Destiny would have been giving testimony on, for this court trial. Nick then starts looking the notes over, so he knows what to say on the stand. Just then the courtroom door opens up.
"Catherine Willows we are ready for you to take the stand."
Catherine stands up and walks into the courtroom then up to the stand. Outside the courtroom Greg has stands up and is now pace. Nick's who still looking over Destiny's index cards with notes on them, hears Greg sigh out loud. Nick looks up and can see that Greg is nervous. Nick puts the index cards into his pocket.
"Greg's, tell me what on your mind."
"It is normal for the CSI or Dr. Robbins to be call on to testify on a case, this is the first time that I have been call on to come in to testify. Why do they want me to testify in this case?"
"Because the amount of DNA evidences, which was process on this case, the lawyers and judge thought it would be best for the jury to hear from the DNA technician that process the evidence on how the DNA proves that Chip Rundle is the person that kidnaped and buried Lauren Garris alive."

She walks over to the bench and takes a set, because she cannot leave to the trial ends for the day, because she has to take the evidence back to the crime lab and check it back into the evidence locker. A guard appears in the doorway of the courtroom and looks over at Nick, Catherine and Greg.

Sara curls up into a ball and cry herself to sleep . A few minutes after Sara's cry herself to sleep, David has just pulled into the driveway of Destiny's house, which is between her house and the neighbors' orangish brown-color house. David puts his car into the park position and then he turns the car off. David looks over at Destiny and sees that she has gone to sleep. He gets out of the car and walks over to the back door, which is on the side of the house facing the neighbors' charcoal colored house. He unlocks the door and opens the door up. David then walks over to the passenger side of the car and opens the door up. He picks Destiny up and carries her into the house, once in the house he carries her through the kitchen into the hallway. He then carries Destiny into her bedroom and David carries his girlfriend over to her bed. David then lays his girlfriend down on the bed. He then lays the bedspread over Destiny, so she does not catch a chill. David then walks out of Destiny's bedroom and goes outside to close the car doors and lock the car up. When he walks back into the house he close and locks the back door. David then walks over to the refrigerator and gets out an onion, celery, carrots, cauliflower, zucchini, green beans, thyme, oregano, bay leafs, parsley leaves, garlic, ears of corn and tomatoes. He then carries the vegetables and herbs over to the kitchen counter and set them down. David then grabs the salt, vegetable broth, olive oil and he take them over to the kitchen counter. David gets a knife out from the silverware drawer and start cutting up the Vegetable and herbs for the vegetables and herb soup he is making for Destiny. David and Destiny have been home for thirty minutes and Destiny has been asleep for thirty-nine minutes when she wakes up because she can smell something good through her half clog nose. She gets out of bed and walks out of her bedroom and into the kitchen. She sees David at the stoves and also sees the black soup pan on the stove and that David is stirring something in the soup pan.
"What are you making David?"
"Vegetable and herbs soup, do you want a bowl when it's finishes cooking?"
"Yes."
"Go get back in bed and I will bring the soup into you when the soup is ready!"
"Ok."
David watch Destiny's walk out of the kitchen and into the hallway. He then goes back to stirring the soup. It's now an hour and half before the graveyard shift starts and Gil Grissom has come in early to turn in his and his team cases file reports, which he has just done and he is now walking down the hallway to his office. A minute later Grissom walks into his office and he picks up the three messages on his desk. He starts going through the messages and notice one of the message is from Destiny, which says she not making it into work tonight, because she spent the morning in the emergency room and learned that she has Strep throat and Tonsillitis and she currently has a fever of 103.7 and is still too sick to work. Gil notices that he had just missed the call by a minute. He then reads the second message from Sara Sidle, which says, I had to have Catherine Willow fill in for me in court today, because of severe stomach cramps and upset stomach. I also will not be able to be on call or make it into work tonight, because of the severe stomach cramps and I cannot to keep food down. Plus I have a fever of 103, so my pager will be off. But I will keep my cellphone on. He set the second message on top of the first message on his desk and see the third message is mark Importing call back right away and the message is from Sheriff Antwater. Gil Grissom put the messages down on this desk and picks up his desk phone and dial Sheriff Antwater cellphone number. After three rings Sheriff Antwater's answer his cellphone.
"Hello, Sheriff Antwater's speaking!"
"Sheriff Antwater this is Gil Grissom returning your phone call."
"Good, you come into work early, I am at Portia Richmond birthday party and yes Lindsey Willows and Portia Richmond has the same birthday. But you are not going to believe what I am going to tell you happen at the party, there has been 427 (kidnap) and a 420 (homicide).
"Who has been Kidnap and who was murder?"
"Portia Richmond was kidnaped and Lacey Duvall was murder, Grissom I need your whole team working on this case!"
"That might be problematic getting my whole team, I have two Crime scene investigators that have already called in sick for tonight graveyard shift Sara Sidle, because of severe stomach cramps and not being able to keep anything down. She also has a fever of 103 and Destiny Kessler who has Strep throat, Tonsillitis and a fever of 103.7. "
"Gil, you need to found a way to get Destiny Kessler and Sara Sidle to come into work tonight, because I am not accepting any excuses for getting out of work tonight. Destiny Kessler and Sara Sidle can wear masks to work the scene."
"I will try Sheriff Antwater, but I can't promise you anything, because Destiny Kessler spent the morning in the emergency room and Sara Sidle has never call in sick or ask for a co-worker to fill in for her in court and she did both in the same day, which mean she must be seriously ill."
"I do not care, if you have to go to Destiny and Sara houses and drag them out of bed and to the crime scene, just get them there. Bye."
Sheriff Antwater hangs up his phone before Gil Grissom can say anything else, Grissom stares at his open office door with the phone up to his ear for a whole minute after the sheriff hang up on him. Jim Brass's walk up to Gil Grissom's open office door and see him stares at his open door with the phone up to his ear and his mouth open wide and he knows by the look on Grissom face that he just talked with Sheriff Antwater and the sheriff hang up on Grissom's just like he had hung up on him ten minute ago.
"Did the Sheriff hang up on you too?"
"Yes, and he says I have to make Destiny Kessler come into work after she called in sick because of Strep throat, Tonsillitis and a fever of 103.7 and spending the morning in the emergency room. And he wants Sara Sidle to come into work despite having severe stomach cramps, fever of 103 and not be able to keep anything down, she even had Catherine fill in for her at court and call in sick to work tonight."
"That a first for Sara's, she a workaholic she must be seriously ill for her to call into work sick and have Catherine fill in for her at court!"
"That what I say to Sheriff Antwater, but he says "I do not care, if you have to go to Destiny and Sara houses and drag them out of bed and to the crime scene, just get them there. Bye," there are days that I think that Sheriff Antwater does not care about anyone, but himself and today is one of them."
"Try seeing it from Sheriff Antwater's point of view, he was at the party when the kidnaping and murder happen right under his nose! Also Portia Richmond is a Las Vegas showgirl legends and critic say that Lacey Duvall was the next Portia Richmond."
"Are you side with Sheriff Antwater, Jim?"
"No, he should not make two crime scene investigators who already call in sick come into work and Good luck getting Sara and Destiny to come into work tonight. I have to get to the crime scene, I will see you and your team at the scene."
