Gil Grissom, Warrick Brown, Catherine Willows, Sara Sidle, Destiny Kessler, David and Dr. Robbins were all at home asleep in their beds when their pager's started beeping at them at ten a.m. The CSI had only been off for work for hour and a half. They all pick up their pager and see who is beeping them and none of them were happy to see that it was the crime lab number or that there is a 420 (Homicide) at 7455 Flamingo road. Gil's team all arrives at the crime scene at the same time, all of the CSI park they cars. Then the six Crime scene investigators get out of their vehicles and grabs they crime scene kits out of their cars, then all six of them walk up to the house. Jim Brass meets the CSI at the front door of the house.
"Good morning CSI."
(All the CSI) We work nights, we were sleeping when our pager went off Jim."
"Sorry the day shift is tapped out and the swing shift is all in court today."
"Jim, just tell us what has happened here?"
"Gil, a family of ten was killed."
"(Yawn) How were the ten victims murder Jim?"
"Sara, each of the victims were shoots through the back of the head and the victims never hear the shoots."
"Did the killer or the killers use a silencer?"
"No Destiny, the whole family was born deaf."
" Do we have the times of death yet Jim?"
"Warrick, I am not sure what the time of death is, you are going to have to ask Dr. Robbins and David's who are inside taken body temperature right now."
"Brass how many boys and how many girls are there?"
"Nick's there are four boys along with the father. Also, there are four girls and the mother."
"Do you know the children's ages?"
"Yes Catherine, two of the boys were five-year-old-twin, the next set of twins are girls and they were four years old. Then a set of a boy and a girl twin that where three-years-old. The last set of twins was also a boy and a girl set that just turn one-year-old at nine p.m. last night."
"The bodies are all upstairs on the second and third floors the killer shoot the mom and dad's in the master bedroom on the third floor, along with shooting the eight children in the boys and girls bedrooms, that is on the second floor."
"Who called 911, Jim?"
"Gil, the Intermediate School District bus drive (ISD), called 911 after she got here and the mom was not waiting outside with the five years old, four years old and three years old children. Then she sees both of the parents cars are in the driveway and that all the light was off in the house, which is not normal in the Van's house. The father Mr. Van never misses a day of work or run later and the children are never sick. The bus driver went up to the door and rings the door bell. But when no one came to the door she got a really bad feeling and called 911."
"How do they hear the bell?"
"Sara, they feel the door bell, because it is connected to a bell on the floor, which cause the floorboards to vibration and then they can feel the floor vibrations."
"How do you know that Destiny?"
"Because my twin Sister Danielle was born with a thirty percent hearing loss in her left ear and completely deaf in her right ear, Warrick."
"Jim did any of the neighbors see or hear anything last night?"
"Not sure Gil, I am going to go and asks the neighbors right now."
"Ok, Jim, team let get to work. Nick and Warrick take the parent's bedroom, Sara I want you to take one of the girl's bedrooms, Catherine took the other the girl's bedroom. Destiny's took one of the boy's bedrooms and I will take last of the bedroom, which is also a boy bedroom."
"(Catherine, Sara, Nick, Destiny and Warrick) Ok."
Gil, Catherine, Sara, Nick, Destiny and Warrick pick up they crime scene kit and then the six of them walk into the house and start walking up the stairs. At the same time Jim Brass start walking towards the neighbor house to the right of the victim's house. David and Dr. Robbins meet Sara, Nick, Gil, Warrick, Catherine and Destiny half way down the stairs then the CSI looks at the two coroners and the two coroners look at the CSI.
"What time did the victims die, Dr. Robbins?"
"All the victims die around 10:30pm last night, Gil."
"Thanks, Dr. Robbins."
Nick, Warrick, Destiny, Sara, Catherine and Gil head into the house and upstairs to the bedroom they are processing. The six Crime scene investigators then start taking pictures of the victims at the scene, so David and Dr. Robbins can take all ten bodies back to the lab. It takes the CSI an hour to finish taking the pictures and collect the trace evidence off of the bodies. David and Dr. Robbins then take the bodies out to the two coroner vans and drive them back to the lab. After the coroners leave the crime scene, the CSI gets back to work processing the crime scene and processing the whole house takes them over three hours. Sara, Warrick, Destiny, Gil, Catherine and Nick found four sets of fingerprints that do not match any of the family members and these fingerprints were in every room in the Van's home. Also, the CSI could not find any bullet cartridges in the children bedrooms or the mom and dad bedrooms. Nick has been outside the house for five minutes now looking for unknown footprint left behind in the yard and he is also looking to see if the killers drop anything when they left the house. Nick's just reaches the back door of the house when he sees four handguns laying on the ground in front of the door. Nick takes a picture of the handguns and then put each of the handguns into an evidence box for handguns. Nick then gets out his fingerprint kit out of his crime scene kit and dusts the back door for fingerprints. Just on the door alone he founds the same four sets of fingerprints that were in all the bedrooms and the rest of the rooms in the house. Gil Grissom walks up to the back door and sees Nick dusting the door knob on the back door and he sees the four handguns evidence boxes stack by Nick crime scene kit.
"I see the killer or killers did not take the handguns with them."
"No, they did not, which means the handguns were not register to the killer or killers and the handguns mostly likely was stolen from the owners."
"Did you dust the handguns for fingerprints?"
"No, I will let Bobby Dawson dust the handguns for fingerprints and the back door and the door knob has the same four fingerprints that were found in all the bedrooms and the rest of the rooms in the house."
"Have you seen Catherine around, Nick?"
"No, I have not seen Catherine since she left to go pick up a suv from the crime lab, sorry Grissom."
"Sara, Warrick, Destiny and I are going to start taking the evidences bags outside, so when Catherine gets here, so we can start loading the suv up."
"I am almost done here and when I finished I will come and help y'all."
"Ok."
Gil Grissom turns around and walks towards the front of the house. At the sometime Nick puts the tape lift over the last fingerprint. He lifts the tape lift off of the door knob and put the fingerprint into the bag with the rest of the tape lift fingerprints from the back door. Simultaneously, Catherine is driving down Flamingo Road towards the house that the crime scene is at. When Catherine pulls up to the house, she sees that her co-workers are all waiting outside with the bags of evidences. Catherine puts the crime lab suv into the park position and then she turns the suv off. She then gets out of the suv and walks over to her co-workers and the bags of evidences, so she can to help load the evidences into the suv.
"Catherine's what took you so long?"
"Sorry Gil, Greg sees me and starts complain about all the DNA evidences that he has to run for the day shift. Along with saying that he will never get a break because of all the DNA evidences that our case is going to add onto his work load."
"That sounds like Greg all right, let get the evidences loaded into the suv now."
(Nick, Sara, Catherine, Warrick and Destiny) Ok, Grissom."
"The six Crime scene investigators get right to work loading up the suv with all the bags of evidences. Twenty minutes later Catherine is driving the suv full of evidences to the crime lab and Sara, Destiny, Gil, Warrick and Nick are driving they own cars to the crime lab. When they have all get to the crime lab and have unloading the bag evidences and check the evidences into the evidences locker Destiny and Gil takes the fingerprints to the fingerprint lab and the two of them are running the fingerprints through AFIS. Sara takes the four handguns to Bobby Dawson to run and at the sometime Nick takes the film to be developed. Warrick and Catherine are looking through the rest of the evidence in the evidence room. Ten minutes later in the fingerprint lab Destiny and Gil look up from the computers and look at each other.
"Destiny, I never know your twin sister has a thirty percent hearing loss in her left ear and completely deaf in her right ear!"
"Yes she has a thirty percent hearing loss in her left ear and completely deaf in her right ear, but she never let it stop her. She finishes second behind me in our senior class of 1987. She went onto college and becomes a CSI too."
"You and your sister finish school two years before Nick and one year before Sara did and the four of you are the same age!"
"Yes I know that, but Nick start Kindergarten at age six during the 1976/1977 school year and Sara start school at five during the 1975/1976 school year and my twin sister and I did our eleven and twelve grade years during the 1986/1987 school year."
"I get two matches, Destiny!"
"So do I Gil, the two fingerprints I run belong to a Sam Tim and a Sean Tim there are in AFIS for sent notes to the Van family saying they should not be allow to live because they are disability."
"The fingerprints I run belong to Shan Tim and a Sue Tim and they are in the system for what you just tell me Destiny."
"Being deaf is no reason for them to kill the Van family, that just wrong?"
"I know people are mean, When I was a child my next store neighbor son would always make fun of my mom Helen because she was deaf his Mom and Dad would always say to me that my mom should not be allow to be able to live, because she could not live a normal life. Along with saying no one could understand what she was saying."
"But people can understand people that are deaf if they take the time to learn sign language or let someone translate what the person is say that knows sign language."
"Yes you are right about that, I am going to call Brass and told him to put a warrant out on Sam, Sean, Shan, Sue Tim and have brought in for question on the murders of the Van family.
"I will go fill Nick, Sara, Catherine and Warrick and fill them in on whom the fingerprints belong too."
"Ok, that sounds good."
Destiny and Gil leave the fingerprint lab and leave Jacqui Franco to gather up all the fingerprints. Two hours later after interviewing the Tim brothers and sisters and all evidences coming back say that the Tim's bothers and sisters committed the murders and now Sara, Gil, Catherine, Warrick, Nick and Destiny are watching Sam, Sean, Shan, Sue Tim been load into a prison van, five minutes later the van is driving towards the local prison.
