It is now a minute and half later and Sara just finish getting dress and she can smell the coffee, she walks into the bathroom. Then walks over the bathroom sink and she opens the medicine cabinet up, which is above the sink. She then grabs the bottle of Ibuprofen and opens the bottle up.

When Destiny walks outside and over to her car, she unlocks it and the two of them get into the black 2000 ford taurus and a minute later Destiny drive towards to the crime lab. The normal fifteen minutes drive to work feels like it take an hour, but it only takes the fifteen minutes and once Destiny has parked her car in the crime lab parking lot. She then turns her car off and the two of them get out of the car. Sara and Destiny then walk to the doors of the crime lab and head inside. As the two of them are walking to the locker room, they pass the DNA Lab and Greg waves to them. Sara and Destiny's wave to Greg as they walk by the DNA Lab.

A minute later the two of them are walking over to suv number four. Sara gets behind the wheel and Destiny gets into the passenger seat and then Sara drives to the crime scene. Once at the crime scene Sara and Destiny's grab they kit off the backseat and then get out of the suv. Then the two of them walk up to the shack, which Jim Brass is standing in front of.
"Brace yourself for what you are about to see because it is very blood and it is the cruelest thing I have see in a long time. It looks like the body has been like this for two weeks."
"What happened inside?"
"Destiny, It looks like someone tried to do a facelifted on the victim, which I am think is also the cause of death."
"Let get this over with Brass."
"Ok Sara, you and Destiny follow me into the shack."
Destiny and Sara follow Jim Brass into the shack and the sight that Sara and Destiny see along with the smell made both of them feel like they are going to be sick to they stomach. Both Sara and Destiny are unable to handle the smell. Destiny and Sara's put they right hand over their mouths and run outside. Once outside both Sara and Destiny starts throwing up . Jim walks outside and sees both the CSI are getting sick to they stomach, so he stands there quiet and waits for Sara and Destiny to stop throwing up.
"Are the two of you all right?
(Sara and Destiny say it at the same time) Yes, the smell was just too horrible is all!"
"That not normal for the two of you, I have never seen either of you get sick at a crime scene before."
"There always a first time for everything Brass and I have got sick at a crime scene before!"
"Yes you right about there always been a first time for everything and when did you get sick at a crime scene Sara?"
"At Portia Richmond's house when process the scene of her kidnaping and the murder of Lacey Duvall."
"Oh."
Sara and Destiny turn around and then walk back inside the shack leaving Jim standing outside the shack by himself. Destiny starts taking pictures of the crime scene and Sara starts collecting the evidences that Destiny has already got pictures of. But neither of them touch the body because the coroner has not arrived at the crime scene yet. Once Destiny finish talking the pictures of the crime scene and the body, she starts dusting for fingerprints. Jim Brass and David walk into the shack right as Destiny finish dusting the door of the shack for fingerprints. David walks over to the body and after put on latex gloves he gets right to work.
"Whoever did this crime wear thick latex gloves, because there is no fingerprint anywhere, gaging, Sara."
"Destiny, Jim and David, I did find a name, gaging, for the victim in this handbag and her name is Sue Days and she is 21 years old."
"Thanks Sara's, now the four of us know who the victim of this brutal crime is and Destiny did you found any fingerprints?"
"No, as I say to Sara, the person who did this crime must have been wearing thick latex gloves, because there are no fingerprints."
"I can tell you for sure that the victim has been dead for two weeks now."
"I could have told you that by gaging the smell alone, David!"
"You are moody today Sara!"
"I am not feeling good."
"Oh."
"You can take the body, gaging now David."
"Baby, are you feeling all right?"
"The decomposition smell is just getting to me, I have take pictures of the body, but Sara nor I gaging, have collected the evidence off the body yet, can you do that I get the evidence to the right person at the lab, gaging?"
"No problem honey, I can tell that the smell is really bothering you and Sara today, I hope that the two of you are not catching the stomach flu from Lindsey Willows?"
"(Both Sara and Destiny) No David, it is only the odor from the decomposition!"
Both Sara and Destiny run outside and just make it outside of the door, when the two of them start throwing up again. Jim Brass and David watch Sara and Destiny through the door and when Destiny and Sara have stops getting sick to they stomach, David walks over to the two crime scene investigators and takes his latex gloves off. He then he put his left hand on Sara forehand and his right on Destiny's forehead but neither Sara nor Destiny's forehead feel warm. David takes his hands off Sara and Destiny foreheads and then he walks the two of them into the shack. Sara and Destiny start grabbing the bags of evidence as David walks over to the body.
"Neither of you seems to be running a fever, so you are probable right it's just the smell that is making the two of you sick."
"Yeah that must be it, David!"
"Do you have any other symptom's Destiny and Sara?"
"I have a headache."
"What about you Destiny?"
"Yeah I have a headache too."
"Sara and Destiny take the evidence you colleted to the lab, I will help David get the body into the van, so he can take the victim body to the crime lab."
"And I will get the blood swabs off of the table for the two of you."
"(Both of the CSI) Thanks, we will see the two of you later at the crime lab."
Sara, Destiny, David and Brass gather up the evidence bags and take them out to the crime lab suv. Once all the evidence bags are in the suv Destiny and Sara walk back into the shack and grab they kit and Destiny's also grab her camera. Then the two of them walk back out of the shack and to the suv. Both Sara and Destiny put their kits on the back seat and Destiny set her camera on the back seat too. Sara then gets into the driver side of the suv, at the sometime Destiny gets into the passenger side of the suv.

David grabs two latex gloves and hands them to Brass and then he grabs a pair of latex gloves for himself, Brass and David put the gloves on and then they get to work preparing the body to transport to the crime lab. Two hours later at the crime lab, David walks into the break room and over to the couch, which is where Sara and Destiny are setting. David notices that both Destiny and Sara's eyes are close.
"I brought Dr. Robbins final report over Sara and Destiny, seeing that neither of you came to see Dr. Robbins nor me!"
"Sorry David, we have been busying compare this case to four unsolved afternoon cases, that match this case in everyway!"
"Dr. Robbins made a note about that in his final report Destiny."
"So what does the final report say David?"
"Sara, the final report says that Sue Days is dead from complications from the facelifted surgery that took place two weeks ago."
"David, does the report say anything else that Sara and I need to know about?"
"Yes Destiny, the victim was nine weeks pregnant, just like the victims from the afternoon cases. Dr. Robbins points out that all the female victims have blood hair. Also that all the victims have blue eyes too."
"And they were all 21 years old too."
"Yes, that is what Dr. Robbins wrote in his final report, Sara."
"That just great we have no more info or evidences on this case then we do on the other cases."
"That not my fault Sara!"
"I know that David, it just the sheriff told Destiny and me that if Dr. Robbins did not have anything new to add to the case or DNA evidence that could lead to the person who is doing the facelifted surgery or a person helping to do the facelifted that we have to put the case aside for now."
"Do the two of you have you reports write out?"
"Yes David, beside what you just tell us everything is writing in the case file."
"If you want me to I will go hand them into Grissom, so the two of you can clock out, then go home to get some sleeps?"
"Thanks David."
"That would be great David and have I told you that I love you tonight?"
"No and you and Sara are welcome."
"I love you David."
"I love you to Destiny."
Sara and Destiny finish the case paperwork and then both of them sign the bottom of their case paperwork. Destiny and Sara's hand the case files to David who takes them for Sara and Destiny. Once Sara and Destiny have stands up the three of them walk out of the break room together, David waves bye to Sara and Destiny. David then walks towards Grissom office as Sara and Destiny walks towards the locker room. Two minutes later Gil Grissom's who just take a set in his desk chair, hears a knock on his office door.
"Come in."
David's open Grissom's office door and walks inside of the office and he set Sara and Destiny's case report along with Dr. Robbins's final report onto Gil Grissom's desk. Gil Grissom sees that David has brought him Dr. Robbins final report and both Sara and Destiny case report from the case they were working on tonight. Gil opens up the three files and looks over the files really fast and then looks up at David.
"Thanks for bring me Dr. Robbins final report and Destiny and Sara case files and I see that the case has been put aside for now by the sheriff, because they are no leads to solve this case or the case from afternoon that match it. But way did Sara and Destiny not bring their case files to me, themselves?"
"I told Destiny and Sara's I would bring both they case files to you Grissom, seeing that I was coming to give you Dr. Robbins final report."
Just then Jim Brass walks into Grissom office and over to David who is standing in front of Grissom's desk. Brass looks at the three files on Gil Grissom's desk. Jim Brass looks at Gil Grissom and then looks at David. Gil look at Jim Brass and sees that he does not look happy to be there.
"Do you have anything that can reopen five facelifted cases, Brass?"
"No, I do not know there were more cases, like tonight case."
"Yes, there are four other cases."
"That awful, Gil and I have another case that I could use Sara and Destiny help on, but I can't find the two of them anyway, do you know where Sara and Destiny are David?"
"I tell them to go clock out and then go home to get some sleep."
"Are the two of them still feeling under the weather, David?"
"Yes, which is way I had them clock out and go home to get some sleep."
"That is not your job David!"
"I know that Grissom, but if you saw Sara and Destiny at the crime scene and see them setting on the break room couch with the eyes close you would have sent them home too."
"You do not know that David, now I have to call them back into work because Brass's need the two of them to work another case tonight!"
"Gil's do not call them back into work, I think David was right about send Destiny and Sara home."
"Is there something that the two of you know that I do not?"
"Yes, Sara and Destiny run out of the shack twice to throw up and they both have headaches. Also, neither of them looked good when they left the crime scene to bring the evidences to the lab."
"Fine I will send Nick out to the new crime scene Jim and I hope that Sara and Destiny did not catch the stomach flu from Lindsey."
"I have to get back to the coroners' lab."
"That fine David."
"I have to head to the new crime scene Gil, I will see you later."
"Ok, I have to go look for Nick anywise."
Grissom stands up and then the David, Gil and Jim walk out of Gil Grissom's office and Gil close his office door behind him, since he is the last one out the door.
