The Other Realm: Part 8
   Grissom was heading for his office when he saw Sara searching through a computer.  He decided to find out if she�s learned anything.  He walked in and noticed that she looked very bored.  �Everything okay in here?�
    His voice shook Sara out of her trance.  She glanced over at Grissom.  �The fingerprint found on the syringe wasn�t in our database.  I�m having to run birth certificate prints.�
    �That�s going to take a while.  Anyway you think of to narrow down your search?�
    Before she could answer Nick came in.  �Hey Sara, I have a feeling the person you�re looking for is a guy.  The man who I talked to gave me a description of a guy who bought the same drugs two days ago.�
    Nick then updated Grissom and Sara on what the man had told him.  He handed the plastic bag with drugs in them over to Grissom.  �You might want to give these to the proper authorities.�
    Grissom took them and stared at them thinking.  �You know, it amazes me how easy it is to buy these things and how hard it is to get your medicine prescription filled.�
    Nick laughed.  �Yeah, but now you can buy prescription drugs on the black market.�
    Grissom looked at him.  �You better not be.�
    �Hey, I just heard about it.  Besides I don�t need them.�
    Grissom smiled.  �Lucky you.�  And then he left Nick and Sara.
    Nick turned his attention back to Sara.  �You want to go with me and see if we can find a face to maybe go with those prints?�
    Sara smiled at him.  �Yeah, why not.  I think we�ll find a face a lot faster than we will a print.�
    She got up and walked out with Nick. 

    Nick was able to get a forensic art specialist to help identify the unknown man.  Once all the info was loaded onto the computer a man�s face appeared.  Nick took a good look at him.  �Well, I think we�ve found our match.�
    Sara turned to leave.  �I�m gonna put that name in and see if it matches the print.  I�ll call you.�
    Nick watched her leave and he had the picture printed out.  Now all he had to do was find Grissom and show him.  While he was walking out, he bumped into Warrick and Catherine.  �Hey guys, how�s it going?�
    Catherine looked at him.  �I�m grateful I only have daughter and that she isn�t a teenager yet.�
    Warrick laughed.  �Yeah, well don�t worry you will soon have your hands full.�
    They all exchanged info and Nick showed them the photo.
    Warrick and Catherine both recognized the man.  �Wait, we know him.  That�s Eric Cane.� Catherine said.  She turned to Warrick and he shook his head in agreement. 
    �I guess we better go tell Grissom.�  Warrick replied.
    On the way, Nick�s phone rang.  He answered and listened for a moment then responded.  �Good job.  Meet us in Grissom�s office.�  He then hung up and the three of them made their way to see Grissom.

    Grissom wasn�t really surprised to see all four of his CSIs come in at the same time.  He knew that usually when that happens they�ve found something.  So he immediately asked them what they found.
    Catherine answered.  �We think there�s more to Eric Cane than what he�s telling us.�
    Nick added.  �He fit the description of the man and his fingerprints matched the syringe.�
    Grissom smiled.  �Good, get Brass to get a warrant.  I want to search his house and his work place.  I also want him brought back for further questioning.�
    Grissom knew this case was finally coming to a close.  He felt for sure that they just found their murder.

    Eric was working when two people walked in.  One he recognized the other he didn�t.
Catherine walked up to him.  �Eric, we have a warrant to check your store and your home.  We also need you to come down with us to answer some more questions.�
    Eric was shocked.  �I don�t get this.  What�s going on?�
    �You will understand more if you come with us.�
    Eric saw two more people walk in.  Warrick and Sara had field kits in their hands and were busy searching around the area.
    Brass walked up to Eric.  �Sir, if you will come with us.�
    Eric had no choice but to follow.

    Warrick and Sara combed through the entire store.  They came up with nothing.  Warrick decided to see if Nick had found anything back at Eric�s home.  Nick answered the phone.  �Nope, I haven�t seen anything.  No needles, no drugs, there�s not even an aspirin in the house.�
    �That�s weird.�
    �Yeah, I know.  You find anything on your end?�
    �Nope, and we�ve looked everywhere.�
   �Well, I�m heading back.  I guess I will see you both there.�
   �Yeah man, later.�
    Warrick hung up the phone and glanced over to Sara.  �No go.  I guess we�re done here.  Let�s head back and see how the interrogation is going.�
