The Other Realm: Part 2
In the morgue, Doc. Robbins was beginning his exam on the victim.  Grissom walked in.  �Find anything yet?�  Robbins shook his head.  �The body was just brought in, so it will be awhile before I find anything.�
    Grissom nodded his head.  �Okay, give me a call when you find out something.�  He walked out and called Catherine.
    �Willows�
    �Hey, it�s me.  Did you get the address of the girl?�
    �Yeah, Warrick and I are heading over there now.�
    �Good, and while you�re there find out how she managed to slip out without being noticed.�
    �Will do.  Bye.�
    Grissom hung up the phone and headed for his office. 

    Catherine and Warrick arrived at Becca�s house.  The house was average, but it was in a nice neighborhood.  They got out of the car and went and knocked on the door.  A woman in her late thirties or early forties opened the door.  �May I help you?�
    Catherine addressed her.  �Hi, we are with the Las Vegas Crime Lab, is there a Rebecca Grier here?�
    �Yes, she�s my daughter.�
    �We need to speak to her.  A man died at the club she was at tonight and we need to see if she knows anything about him.�
    �Are you accusing my daughter of murder?�
    Warrick stepped up beside Catherine.  �No, we just want to ask her if she saw anything strange.�
    �Oh, okay.  Why don�t you both come in?  Rebecca is in her room, I�ll go get her.�
    They both thanked her and went inside.  They sat on the couch while Mrs. Grier went to go get her daughter.  A few minutes later, Becca came down the stairs.  She was about 5 feet 7 inches.  She had blonde hair with pink streaks through it. 
    �Rebecca Grier?�  Warrick asked. 
    �Yeah, that�s me.�
    �Hi, my name is Warrick Brown, this is Catherine Willows.  We�re with the LV Crime Lab.  We wanted to ask you some questions about the guy you were dancing with.�
    �Oh, you mean Vincent.�
    �Was that his name?�
    �Yeah, we used to go to school together.  Until he dropped out.�
    �How old are you?�
    �18�
    Catherine gave her a quick glance.  �You don�t look like it. You look like maybe your 16.�
    �Yeah, I get told that a lot.�
    �How old was Vincent?� asked Warrick.
    �21.�
    �What can you tell us about what happened tonight?�
    �I was dancing and then Vince walked in and he didn�t say anything he just started dancing with me.  He looked a little out of it.  Then the lights went off.  I got scared and left.�
    �So, you were gone when the lights came back on.�  Catherine responded.
    �Yeah, I didn�t like being in there with it so dark.�
    �How did you find your way out?� asked Warrick.
    �I felt my way out.  I go there a lot so it wasn�t that hard.�
    �Did you know that you left a crime scene?�  Warrick again.
    �What do you mean?�
    Catherine walked up beside her.  �When the lights came back on, your friend Vincent was found dead on the dance floor.�
    Tears started to form in Becca�s eyes.  She turned her back to them.  She didn�t want them to see her cry.  �What happened?�
    Warrick handed her a tissue.  �We don�t know yet.  That�s one reason we came here.  We wanted to see if you had heard or seen anything strange.�
    Becca turned back to face them.  �No, I didn�t.  Like I said as soon as the power went off, I was heading out the door.�
    Catherine placed her hand on the girl�s shoulder.  �Thanks for your time.  We�re very sorry about the loss of your friend.�  With that spoken she and Warrick headed outside toward the car.
