Sister Like Sister
Grissom was sitting on one of the benches inside the courtroom. He was holding Sara’s hand, and she was sitting beside him. He could tell that she was nervous, and everything was fluttering her mind.
Sara’s mind was going through memories rapidly. It seemed that being in a courtroom, holding someone’s hand, waiting for someone who had hurt her to be put on trial. She remembered watching his eyes stare her down. She remembered avoiding his gaze for nearly half the time she was in the courtroom.
Adam was sitting beside Sara, worrying heavily about Dani. She was sitting beside him, starting to get agitated. She wanted this guy to be put behind bars as soon as possible; she wanted him to see her at his trial. She wanted to give him a death glare, one that told him she wasn’t scared anymore. This guy had kidnapped her, just like the guy who killed her foster family had. It was like a merry-go-round, it just kept happening.
Greg, who was sitting beside Dani, had decided to come to the trial for support. It wasn’t going to be a tough case to prove, two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping. They had a lot of forensic evidence for a case like this, and didn’t even need Dani or Adam to testify.

“We the jury find James Kilgan guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping. We also find Tyler Kilgan guilty of accomplice to two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of kidnapping,” said one man on the jury.
Dani’s expression brightened, and she smiled bigger than she had in a very long time. She hugged Adam excitedly, and felt Greg’s hand on her back. She turned to him.
“Thanks for the support,” she said and nodded. Greg smiled, and Dani put her arms around him. He hugged back, and then she let go and turned to Sara.
“I sentence James Kilgan and Tyler Kilgan to a life sentence without the possibility of parole or bail,” the judge announced. Dani smiled to Sara, she was unbelievably happy. It seemed that almost every problem that had ever bothered her went away for a brief moment. Then she remembered the world’s problems, and was forced to think of her own, and she knew that this only solved a few.
Outside of the courtroom, Grissom and Sara were talking, and Greg, Dani and Adam were having a separate conversation. Catherine passed by and briefly waved to the bunch, she testified and explained the evidence to the jury. She began to walk off, but Dani ran up to her and gave her a hug.
Catherine looked down at the girl with confusion. “What’s this for?” She asked before Dani let go.
“For testifying,” Dani said and shrugged.
Catherine shrugged back, “No problem, it’s just my job.” She smiled at the young girl. “What school are you going to in September?”
“Butterfield Academy,” Dani answered, wondering why Catherine had asked.
Catherine smiled, “What grade?”
“Nine,” Dani answered, her mind still wondered why these questions were being asked.
Catherine raised an eyebrow, “How old are you?”
Dani mimicked Catherine and raised her eyebrow back, “Twelve, turning thirteen in September.”
Catherine tilted her head, “You skipped a grade?” She inquired.
Dani tilted her head back, “Yep.”
Catherine let out a dry laugh at the mimicry. “My daughter goes to Butterfield Academy, same grade,” she finally explained. “She’d like you.”
Dani raised her eyebrow again, “How do you know that she-“
“She likes people that make fun of her mom,” Catherine said and laughed as she walked away. Dani smiled to herself as she walked back to Greg and Adam. They were talking about some video game that Dani had heard of, but hadn’t played.
“Want to go get some ice cream with me and Greg?” Adam asked her as she re-joined the conversation.
Dani smiled, “Sure, if Sara says I can.” She turned to Sara, who had been listening to the conversation the whole time, and already knew what she was going to ask. So, she nodded, it would be good for Dani to bond with some of her co-workers. Actually, it would be good for her to bond with other people than Adam all together, since he was the only person other than family she spent time with.
Suddenly a thought came to Sara’s mind, and she smiled to herself. It would be nice, and easier to find a babysitter she could trust if Dani and Lindsay, Catherine’s daughter, became friends. It seemed like a good idea to her, and she would run it by Catherine later. Dani had relatively gotten along with Catherine; better than Sara had when Catherine and her had first met anyway.
“I’ll bring them back to your apartment when we’re done, okay?” Greg asked, referring to their ice cream trip. Sara nodded, and Greg, Dani and Adam left the courthouse to go get ice cream.
Sara turned back to Gil, and he stared back at her. She stared for a moment, demanding answers in her expression. Grissom shrugged, reading her mind, and they walked to the car and drove back to the apartment.
-END.
