He walks over to his office door and grabs his crime scene kit off the floor by the office door, then he walks out of his office carrying his kit along with the key to suv number two and leaves the lab. When Gil Grissom pulls the suv up to the crime scene, he notices that his team is all ready at the scene. Grissom grabs his kick off the passenger seat and then get out of the suv. As he walks over to his team, Gil Grissom looks at his team trying to read the expression on all of crime scene investigators faces, but all he can see is five tired crime scene investigators.
"I know that all of you are tired and only get off work an hour before the call come in for this case, but I want you to give this case a hundred percent and let finds out who is committed these murder this time."
"(Catherine, Sara, Nick, Warrick and Destiny) yes Grissom."
"Catherine, I want you to go talk to Sam Braun and see if he will tell you anything about Mr. Steven, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Chase."
"Ok, I will go talk to him right now."
"Good."
Grissom stops talking as Catherine walks away from the group and over to crime lab suv number one. Catherine open the driver side door and puts her kit down between the two seats and then get into the suv. At the same time as Catherine pulls away from the crime scene, Gil who been watching Catherine bring his attention back to the rest of the team.
"Nick and Warrick's, I want both of you to ALS the whole crime scene."
"(Nick and Warrick) Ok."
"Sara, I want you to take pictures of the crime scene."
"Ok."
"Destiny you are going to talk to the little girl and I am going to start processing the crime scene. Let get to work."
"(Warrick, Nick, Sara and Destiny) sure."
Grissom, Sara, Nick and Warrick pick up they kit and head into the house. At the sometime Destiny walks over to the little girl, who is setting in the passenger seat of Brass's car and she is staring at the house. Jim Brass is standing next to the girl on her right side. Destiny kneels down in front of the little girl, who stop staring at the house and looks at the lady who is kneeling in front of her.
"My name is Destiny Kessler, what is your name?"
"My name is Katie Chase
"How old are you Katie?"
"I am five-years-old."
"Did you see what happened to your family Katie?"
"No, when I heard the person breaking into the house I quietly get out of bed and hide under my bed and stay there until Jim Brass found me!"
"Did you hear anything that could help us, Katie?"
"I hear someone say Mr. Chase, you should have known better then to cheat Sam Braun out off his money and then I hear five gun shoots."
"Was it one gun shoot after another or five gun shoots at the sometime Katie?"
"I hear five gun shoots at the sometime Miss. Kessler."
"Is there anything else you can tell me?"
"No."
"That fine, you just stay here with Jim Brass for now."
"Ok."
"Brass has children service been called?"
"Yes, a worker from children service is on their way now."
"Ok I am going to go fill Grissom in on what I learn from Katie."
"Ok, Destiny."
Destiny stands up and starts walking towards the house. At the sometime Catherine is sitting in Sam Braun office. Sam Braun is setting in the chair behind his desk and Catherine is setting in a chair in front of Sam Braun's desk.
"Sam, How did you know Mr. Steven, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Chase?"
"Cath, what do you mean how did I know Mr. Steven, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Chase because I still do?"
"Their families were all killed in the same way each family member was shot in the head, but the killer or killers left the youngest daughter alive in all of the family. I also know that these three men are in debt to you and they could not pay you back the money they own you, Sam."
"Are you try to say I kill them?"
"No, but you could have hired someone too?"
"You have no evidence to link me to the three cases do you, Cath?"
"No, not yet."
"Then come back with a warrant if and when you find same evidence that links me to the crime."
Catherine stands up from the chair she was set in and then walks out of Sam Braun. She walks through the casino and then she walks outside to the parking lot. Catherine gets into the suv and then she heads back out to the crime scene. But after hours of processing the crime scene and running through all the evidence from all three cases, they still could not found out who kill the family's. So the Chase case was set aside, just like the other two cases were.
