The older man addressed her. �You left evidence at a crime scene.�
�What?�
�Do you know a Mr. Garner?�
�No.�
Nick decided to step in. �Morgan, are you missing a bracelet?�
�How did you know?�
�Observation. We noticed that Allison and you had the same jewelry on. The only difference was that Allison had on a bracelet and you didn�t.�
�I�m not making any connection here.�
Grissom looked at her. �The connection is that we found your bracelet at Mr. Garner�s home and Mr. Garner was found dead in his pool.�
Shock appeared on Morgan�s face. �I don�t know how it got there. I mean my bracelet�s been missing for weeks. Maybe the person who took my bracelet left it there.�
Nick shook his head no. �The only fingerprints that came up were yours. There is no way that someone else could have taken it. They would have left prints.�
�Where were you last night?� asked Grissom.
�Not killing someone if that�s what you are implying. I was here.�
�Was there anyone here with you?�
�No.�
�I�m sorry but I�m afraid you are going to have to come with us.�
Two cops came in and walked over to Morgan. Morgan began to panic. �WAIT!!! I didn�t do anything. You can�t just come in here and arrest me.�
Grissom stopped the two cops and walked over to Morgan. �You aren�t under arrest yet. We need to ask you more questions.�
�No, I�m not going. I�ve answered enough of your questions.�
Nick glanced at Grissom and waved him to come over. Grissom walked over to Nick. In a hushed voice Nick said. �We can�t force her to go. The only evidence we have is the bracelet and that�s not enough.�
�She�s lying.�
�I know. We need something else to connect her there.�
�Was there anything missing from Garner�s house?�
�No, I don�t think so. Why?�
�Go back and check. Take someone with you. I will go back and talk with Morgan and see if she has anything else to tell us.� Nick left and Grissom went back to Morgan. Morgan was sitting on the couch. The two officers were standing in the doorway. Grissom sat down in a chair across the couch from Morgan.
�Morgan, where are your parents?�
�Away on a business trip.�
�Are they gone a lot?�
�Yes.�
Grissom glanced around the house. He noticed that some of the furniture was old and worn out. Some things seemed out of place though. The house was a fairly inexpensive home. The d�cor didn�t look like something a business couple would have. Usually business people had enough money to afford nice furniture. Maybe they don�t enough business to pay for new stuff he thought.
�How long do your parents stay gone at one time?�
�Depends on where they go and who they are going to see.�
�Do they leave you money to buy groceries and pay the bills.�
�Of course, they aren�t going to let me go without anything.�
Grissom got up and looked into the hall. �May I take a tour around your house?�
�I guess so. Why?�
�Just curious. Besides I have a friend who is wanting to change her house around and I thought maybe I could get some ideas.�
Morgan showed Grissom around. She showed him the bathroom, the kitchen, living room, her parents� room and her own room. In her room, there was a computer, a stereo system, and a ton of cds. Not what Grissom was expecting in her room. He walked up to the computer. �I really like this computer. Where did you get it?�
�My mom got it for me.�
�Really, that was nice of her.�
Grissom leaned down and noticed that the computer numbers were scratched out. I need to go get a warrant he thought.
�Morgan, thank you for showing me around. I need to go to the lab for something. Are you going to be around here if I need to call you?�
�Yeah, I think so, unless I go see Ally.�
Grissom went out the door with the two cops following him. Grissom explained to the cops what was going on. He gave them orders to watch Morgan. He then headed back to get a warrant.
Nick took Sara with him back to Garner�s house. They began to search for anything that remotely seemed out of place. They decided to stay together in case one of them over looked something. �I�m beginning to think this is a lost cause.� Sara said. They had all pulled double shifts trying to solve this case. They were in a bedroom. A computer sat on a desk on one side. Sara glanced at the bed thinking how wonderful it will be when she can go to her own home and crash on her bed. Nick walked beside her and placed his hand on her shoulder. �I know the feeling, but there has to be something we�re missing.� She turned her head to look at him. �Yeah, I�m just tired. Sorry.� Nick smiled at her. �Don�t be.� He squeezed her shoulder and then took his hand off. He then walked by the computer. He noticed that there was dust on it, except that some of it has been wiped off. �Hey Sara, come here a minute.� She walked over. �What?� Nick showed the dust to her. Realization hit. The computer had been moved.
�Maybe we were going about this the wrong way. What if the noise Garner heard was actually inside? Okay here�s my theory.� Nick walked over to the computer. �The intruder was in here trying to steal the computer and heard Garner come in. He had to put the computer back so that would cause the dust to be moved.�
Sara understood and added �Yeah, so he had to get out in a hurry and he tried to sneak out the back door. He tried to get out with out getting caught but Garner saw him.�
�And then Garner must have chased him through the house.�
�That would explain why he crashed through the door.�
Nick smiled at Sara. �Let�s go check for prints on the computer.�
�I thought you checked everywhere.�
�I did, but I missed the computer, otherwise I would have caught that earlier.�
�Don�t be too hard on yourself. Anyone could have overlooked it. Besides there wasn�t a reason for you to check in there.�
They went and dusted the computer. No prints. Once again Nick and Sara felt like they reached a dead end.
