Chapter Twelve: Zoo Case
During Wednesday shift Sara ends up take Catherine into the ER, because she gets really sick at work. Gil comes home on Thursday morning and he joins Sara in the bedroom. Then he changes into his PJ and lay down next to Sara on the bed.

"How was Catherine when you left her?"

"Ok, she was happy that Lindsey was going to come in and visit here after school gets out at 2:30Pm today. Catherine will probably will not be release for the hospital until Sunday and doctor is not going to let her come back to work until Tuesday night at the early. The doctor told us that the flu/stomach flu viruses that is going around town are really strong, if you had a flu shoot and catch it you get over it in a few days, but if you do not get a flu shoot it takes twice as long to get over it and you become really sick."

"I wish I did not make Catherine come into work last night."

"She is not mad at you Gil. Let get some sleep, we going to have a long night at work. It is just the two of us tonight."

"Yes it will seeing that Greg, Nick and Warrick are under doctor care to and their doctors are not allowing them to come back to work yet. On a good note Wendy will be back at work tonight."

Sara and Gil go to sleep and later that day when they get to the lab for work the two of them are hope that the night will be a slow night, Gil goes to his office and pick up the assignments and then meet Sara in the break room and he sees Sofia sitting next to Sara on the couch talking to her. Sara and Sofia stops talking to each when they see Gil Grissom walking up to them.

"No luck on it been a slow night. Sara and Sofia you are on a 425 suspicious situation/ 419 dead body, Jim Brass think it a homicide."

"Where is it at Gil?"

"At the Las Vegas Zoo and the crime scene is behind the glass section of the Arctica house. I will be on another 425 Suspicious Situation/419 Dead Body at the Rampark. Sara and Sofia I would take a coat it is cold inside the area the body are, seeing that the zoo has to keep it is freezing cold in that area and a zoo keeper can't make it hotter even for you."

"My coat does not fit."

"You can use my coat and we need to get you a bigger coat."

Gil hands Sara his coat and she takes it from him. Then the three of them leave the break room. Four minutes later Gil on the way to his crime Scene and Sara and Sofia is on the way to their crime scene that is at the zoo. When Sara and Sofia get to the Arctica house and Jim Brass shows them into the area where the polar bears live. They look around the area and see that the ten bodies were killed here but not by the bear, so it hard to be after they put them in the sleep area for the night. The zoo is the one place in town that closes at night in Las Vegas, Sofia starts to talk and you can see her breath.

"Do the victims work here?"

"No and I have no Idea how they get into the zoo seeing it was lock up for the night or how they get in here."

"Let start take pictures so we can spend as little time in here as we have too Sara."

"I agree with you."

Sara and Sofia get to work taking the pictures of the crime scene and when they finish taken the pictures of the scene, the coroner still has not show up. Sara and Sofia start collecting the evidences that are not near the body, which and there lot of evidences left at the scene, Sara start swabbing the blood pool and Jim Brass help them out by dust for fingerprints, two hours later the bodies are still at the crime scene and Sofia is not a happy camper, she start to talk to Sara.

"I can't tell if this is polar bear hair or victim hair."

"Then collect all the hair and put it in an evidence bag."

"Where is the coroner at?"

"I have no clue Sofia. DR. Lee is the one that is working tonight, so she is probably really busy."

"Is she try to see how long we can stay in a freezing cold area without get sick!"

"I am sure that not it Sofia, seeing that half the LVPD Night shift is already out sick."

"Whatever, I just hope she get here soon."

Sara, Sofia and Bras keep working the crime scene and after two hours Dr. Lee comes into the polar bear area and walk over to Sarah, Sofia and Jim and by now the two CSI and Jim are shivering because they have been working in the polar bear area for four hours. Sofia is also really mad at Dr. Lee for take four hour to get to the crime scene.

"What take you so long, did you save as for last so we could get sick?"

"No Sofia, I had to finish an autopsy before I could head out to any of the crime scene. I want to Gil Grissom crime scene first because it was close to the lab, then I come here."

"You should have come here first, seeing that the bodies of the victims are sitting on top of ice and because of cross-contamination!"

"Sofia's I will take the body back to the lab and check for time of death there. It is too cold in here for the instrument to work."
"That is fine, Sofia and I will meet you back at the lab to get the evidences off the ten bodies."

Brass leaves to go talk to the zoo keepers and Sara and Sofia goes back to work processing the crime scene. Dr. Lee gets to work putting the bodies into the body bags, but goes slow because the bodies are sticking to the ice. An hour and half later Sara and Sofia are packing up the evidences in the back of the SUV. Then the two of them get into the SUV to head back to the lab. Sara put the SUV into drive and a minute later is driving toward the lab, Sara and Sofia talk on the way back to the lab and Sofia has turn the heater up because the two of them are still cold.

"Sofia what your deal today, I never see you lose it at anyone like you do tonight with Dr. Lee?"

"I don't like the cold and I'm PMS."

"Try to keep calm when we go to collect the evidence off the bodies at the coroner lab."

"I will Sara."

Sixteen minutes later Sara and Sofia get back to the lab and check in the evidence before going to the coroners' lab. The two CSI walks into the coroners' lab and each take a body and collects the evidences and take picture of the body because there notice the bodies have bruises on them, Sofia and Sara do this to all ten bodies. Once all the evidences and pictures have been taking on all the bodies' Sara and Sofia leaves so Dr. Lee can start working on the bodies. Once in the hallway Sara and Sofia walk over to the staircase and then head to the first floor of the lab, seeing that the coroners' lab is in the basement.

"Sara I need to go check my message in Ecklie office, which is my temporary office until Ecklie gets back and work on some paperwork that needs to be done so Catherine, Warrick, Nick, Wendy, Bobby gets pay for the sick leave their doctors are made them take."

"Ok, I go check in with Wendy in DNA and then Dale in Ballistic."

"I will meet back up with you when I finish with the paperwork."

"That is fine."

Sarah walks to the DNA lab first and find Wendy busy running DNA on the swabs they bring in for tonight along with finish running the DNA for Butterfeld academy. Sara pulls over one of the lab table chairs and sits down on the chair and then smile really big at Wendy.

"Wendy it is good to see you back, how are you feel?"

"Better, Greg called me and tell me you are pregnant with twins and that Grissom the father."

"Yes I am and yes he is the father."

"I am happy for you. I also have some info on DNA for the Butterfeld Academy shoot. Dale sent me the swab with blood on that he find on the gun at the scene, it had more then just victim blood the shoot blood was on it to. Both of the shooter blood I get a hit off CODIS. To a Harry Pat and Helen Pat

Wendy's pick up a printout and hand the printout to Sara, who take the printout and set it on her lap.

"Thank you, Anything on the zoo case yet?"

"No, but I will get hold of as soon as I do."

"Ok I will see you later."

"Bye Sara."

Sara stands up and walks out of the DNA lab to let Wendy's go back to work. She then heads over to talk to Dale about the bullet Cartridges. Ten minutes later Sara walks up to the door of Ecklie office that is Sofia temporary office. Sara knock on the close office door and wait for a answers, after a few minutes she knock again this time she hear Sofia moving around.

"Yawning who there?"

"It is Sara, can I come in?"

"Yes."

Sara open the office door and walk in and sits down on the chair in front of the desk and hand Sofia the printout that Wendy give her on the Butterfeld Shooting. Sofia looks at the printout for a few minutes then set the printout on the desk.

"At lest we caught a break, did Wendy have any info on the zoo case?"

"Not yet, she said as soon has she had any she would let me know. I am meet Jim over at P.D. to talk to Harry Pat and Helen Pat. I check in with Dale and the guns we found at the Butterfeld crime scene were the only two guns that were use in the Butterfeld shoot."

"Yawning, Ok fill me in on how it goes when you get back."

"I will and will you let Gil Grissom know about the Butterfeld case developments?"
"I will Sara."

Sara stands up from the chair and walks out of the office. Sara heads out to the parking lot and gets into one of the lab SUV. She then goes to Police Department to talk to the two suspects from the Butterfeld shoot. At the same time Sofia put away the paperwork she was trying to work on, but do not get anywhere on. Sofia picks up the printout that Sara gave her and then slow stand up from her desk chair. Sofia walks out of the office and then walk toward Gil Grissom office. When Sofia gets to Gil's office door, she sees the door is open and all the lights are off. She walks into the office and put the printout on his desk. So when he gets back to the lab he will see it, then Sofia looks at her watch and check the time and decides she going to go to the locker room and take a long steaming hot shower in the staff showers. To see if that will warm her up, because it has been an hour and half since Sara and she left the crime scene of the polar bear house at the Las Vegas zoo and she is still freezing cold. Sofia thinks to herself when getting under the steaming hot water I can't be getting sick, I never get sick and I get a flu shoot this year. When she finishes taking a shower and has got dress she looks at the time on her watch and sees that she was in the shower for two hours. At the same time Sofia was take a shower Sara and Jim Brass was at the police department in Interrogative room number one. First they interview Harry Pat, which take forty-five minutes. After they finish with Harry Pat. Sara and Brass begin interview fifteen year old Helen Pat about the Butterfeld Academy school shooting.

"You're the one that lie!"

"Because it funny that you would care for jock like them, seeing they the make fun of people who are geek."

"Did they make fun of you?"
"Of cause everyday."

"Even Tom you said you date him?"

"He just uses me to get into my pants, I was sick of the way they treat me so I snap and shoot them, along with my twin bother he shoots the other five victims Normal Day, Amy Smart, Dacey Buggies, John Teps and Sam Fan."

"I know that I talk to him before you, he flat out tell Jim and I that he kill these five people because you made him. Jim arrested her."

Sara stands up from the chair she is sitting on and then walks over to the door. Sara open up the door then walks out of the room as Jim Brass arrest Helen Pat. She then walks out of the P.D. and head to the crime lab SUV. Four minutes later Sarah pulls the SUV into the crime lab parking lot and into the first open space. Sara looks at the time and sees that it is now 5:45 a.m. on Friday morning. Sara sits in the SUV for a few minutes with her eyes close and after a few minutes she makes herself get out of the SUV and head back into the crime lab. The first stop Sara makes is to DNA to see if Wendy has any info for Sofia and her because she has not her from her yet. When she walk into the DNA she see Wendy working on the backlog evidence.

"Any thing on the DNA from the zoo case?"

"It was all victim blood, sorry I could help you, but Dr. Lee found that all five of the female victims were rape, the semen matches the semen find at the scene. I am still running a search on CODIS to see if I get any matches, for the DNA from two different males.

"So there were two men that rape the women and kill them."

"Yes and I already tell Sofia."

"Ok hopeful trace, toxic, ballistics or AFIS will turn up some result along with CODIS."

"I hope so too, I need to get back to work now."

Sarah leaves the DNA lab and head to the break room. When she gets to the break room, she sees Sofia holding a coffee mug in her hands and stare at the mug. Sara walks over and gets herself a cup of coffee. Then sit down at the table across from Sofia, who back is to the couch and is still staring at her full mug of coffee. Sara take a sip of her coffee and then smiles at Sofia.

"how yawning the interview go with Harry and Helen Pat?"

"Harry interview take a forty-five minutes, he tell us he help his sister shoot the five victims. After Harry interview Brass and I interview Helen. Her interview take us a hour."

"That would be a whole two hours away form the lab in could travel times to and back. Did Helen admit killing five of the victims?"

"Yes at the very end of the interview. You have not drink any of your coffee yet it is going to get cold!"

"I don't really like coffee yawing."

"Then why do you get a mug of coffee?"

"Because it warm, yawning."

"Are you tires Sofia?"

"No, I am exhaust and I have menstrual cramps.

"Go home and get some sleep, I will cover the last few hours of the shift on my own."

"Are you sure Sara?"

"Yes It not like there much to do beside wait on test results and to see if AFIS or CODIS gets a match."

"Thank you Sara, I will see you tonight."

Sofia stands up and walks over to the sink and pours the coffee out and puts the mug in the sink. Sofia then walks out of the break room and head to her office to get her purse. At the same time Sara gets up and walks over to the break room couch and then slip her shoes off. Sara then lays down and close her eyes. Gil walks into the break room when the shift ends to gets Sara up. He kneels next to Sara and shake her.

"Sara wake up, so we can go home the shift is over."

"Ok, I'm up."

Sara sits up on the couch and then put her shoes on. Then Sara stands up from the couch and a few minutes later Sara Gil head out to Sara SUV seen that what they come to work in the night before and head home. When they get home, Sarah goes and take a shower while Gil makes them some breakfast. Sarah head downstairs to the kitchen after she gets out of the shower and had put on her black pajama. Once in the kitchen she sits down at the table and Gil hand her a plate with three pancakes and two pieces of toast with strawberry jam on them, he then join her at the table with his own plate.

"The pancakes are really good honey."

Sara and Gil stop talking and eat the pancakes. Meanwhile at Sofia's apartment, when she gets home from work she takes another two hours steaming hot shower.
