Chapter 4
January 2006
Audrey sat in her bedroom; it was late, and she needed to go to sleep, but she had a test the next day in history, and she needed an A. She looked at the clock, and it read 1 AM. Her dad was still not home, but he would be soon, and she didn't want him to know she was up late so she decided to call it a night. She closed the book and threw it towards her bag. She then shut her light off and got under the covers. At that moment, she heard the front door open so she quickly made herself look like she was asleep, knowing that her dad would be checking in on her anytime before he went to sleep. The next thing she knew, she was dreaming about her mother when she was little.
Mac sighed; it had been along day. He couldn't wait to get into bed; he got his clothes changed and went into the kitchen to heat up some leftovers. When he finished, he went to go check on Audrey. He opened the door to her room to find her fast asleep. He went over to cover her up and kiss her on the forehead. She mumbled something about missing someone; at first, he thought she was awake and talking to him, but she rolled over and started to snore lightly. He wondered who she was dreaming about, knowing deep down that it was her mother. He kissed the top of her head once again and closed the door, walking down the hall down to his room. He got in his bed. He looked at the clock and sighed; it was 3 AM, and it would be another hour until he would fall a sleep

The next day after school Audrey was very tired. She had gone to school taken her test and felt that she would get an A. She walked out of the school, seeing Casey and Jason being the happy couple and wanting to throw up, but she just smiled and kept walking, heading towards the CSI lab.
When she arrived thirty minutes later, she walked in, saying hi to the receptionist, and got on the elevator. When she got to her dad's floor, she ran into Lindsey stepping off.
"Hey, Audrey, how are you?" she asked as she hugged her.
"I'm good; how are you?"
"Good, just working my butt off," she laughed as she walked on the elevator, "I'll talk to you later when your dad gives me a break."
Audrey laughed, "Okay, so… never"
"Yeah, that's about it," Lindsey said as the doors close.
Audrey shook her head and smiled as she continued down the hall to her father's office. On her way, she bumped into people that worked with her dad' they all wanted to say hi and see how she was, which was great, but it took forever to get to her dad's office. When she got there, she saw that he wasn't in there so she turned around to head to Stella's office. When she got there, she decided not to knock and barge in, but when she stepped in, she stopped dead in her tracks.
