Little Angels
Chapter One:Discoveries
The Denali was filled with silence as Greg drove torwards the Crime Lab. Everleigh and Ryan had fallen asleep during the drive from the crime scene. Greg had been oddly quiet since they put the kids in the car. It worried Sara a bit because usually he never stopped talking. They parked in the parking lot and got out and walked into the lab with the children sleeping in their arms. They went into the breakroom where a fresh pot of Greg's Blue Hawaiin coffee was brewing. Nick and Catherine currently sat at a table looking exauhsted. The moment the two walked in with the kids though,both Nick and Catherine stood up.
"Greg,Sara? Who are those kids?" Catherine asked softly,so as to not disturb the sleeping children,now resting on the breakroom couch.
"They where at the crime scene. Locked in a basement. Their thirteen year old sister was the vic. The father wasn't home and the mother died last year in a car wreck." Greg said sadly.
"So the father could've killed his own daughter." Nick said in disgust.
"What's this world coming to? I mean,locking little kids in a basement,underfeeding them, and killing their sister?" Catherine said,shaking her head.
"Not to mention beating them." Sara said,getting her and Greg some coffee.
Just then Doc Robbins walked in to say,"Greg,Sara? You better come see your victim."
"Her skull was bashed in. I also checked for other injuries and found that her right leg was disfigured. The bones are extremely brittle which you already know. She was living a hell in that house as you could tell from the bruises. Her whole body,from her face to her feet are covered in welts and black a blue marks.I honestly wonder how she lasted this long. Also,she fought back. there are skin samples and blood in her fingernails that you might want to get." Doc Robbins said,leaving the room.
A half hour later Greg and Sara had taken more pictures of the victim's body and got the samples from under her fingers. They'd sent them to Hodges and where heading down to get it when they heard a shril scream coming from the breakroom.
Greg and Sara rushed in just in time to see Everleigh and Ryan cowering against a wall,holding eachother protectively,much like they'd been doing when Sara and Greg had found them in the basement. Grissom,Nick,Catherine and Warrick where in there looking just a bit guilty.
"What did you guys do to them?!" Greg and Sara both asked as they hurried over to the children,kneeling down infront of the children who immediatly threw themselves into the two CSI's arms,sobbing.
"Shh..guys,those are friends of ours. They won't hurt you. They where only curious." Greg whispered to Everleigh and Ryan.
"Why you leave us?" Ryan asked tearfully,innocently,staring at them both with wide,hurt eyes.
Sara let out a gasp as she held Ryan to her tighter. "We didn't want to but we had to help your sister. We needed to find out who hurt her." She said to him,not noticing the surpised looks that she and Greg where receiving from their friends. Right now her mind as well as Greg's where on helping these kids.
