Chapter 5-Jim, Opens Pandora�s Box

Jim stared into the computer screen reading the Madrid newspaper, English version. �June 20, 1978 Ambassador Cintrone and His Wife Killed in Stable Shoot Out. Daughters Missing and Feared Dead.� He read on. �Captain Fernando Estrada of the Madrid Police Force missing after the Murders of Ambassador Cintrone and his wife.�

�Well she told me all of this. How her uncle managed to get the girls out of Spain��..connections. Ok, so the Madrid Police think she is dead.� He said out loud but not too loudly. He looked at the pictures from the shooting. The bodies still lay at the scene. Jim put himself in Nevada�s place for only a moment seeing the picture and even though he was a police officer and a grown man he wanted to cry.

�She was just a child��.how could she have survived that and being held without him having had raped her and her sister?� He asked himself. He was beginning to get angry, then he came upon a picture of Estrada. He hit save to disc then so he could take it to Archie and have him age the picture. That would go a long way in finding him the soft wear they had now was almost foolproof. Then he got a really good look a the man who had destroyed Nevada�s family.

�Bastard.� He said. �You�ve been hiding for decades��now that I know about you��..you are going on the endangered species list.� he said.

Then he looked harder at the man. Something about him was vaguely familiar.

�I know this man, but from where?� He asked himself. �I have to get this picture to Archie. Sorry Nevada but, I�m going to have to wake you up.� He book marked the pages he was looking at and printed the picture. �I have met this man somewhere.� He looked around a little more and found that all the Cintrone Gold was missing. The girls had never been found. But he knew that they were alive and well and one of them was in his bed asleep. He thought to himself if he found him and talked to Interpol he would have to be careful that he didn�t mention that Nevada or Dallas was alive. That could be more harm than help.

He did find a picture of the Cintrone Family, Nevada�s family. �She looks exactly like her mother. Her mother was a looker too. She looks like Ann-Margaret. Humm, her dad�..they have something alike besides the eyes. Something in her face. Determination maybe. She was a beautiful young girl. As much as she is a beautiful woman now.� Then he saw Dallas. �Well these two aren�t peas in a pod for sure.� Said Jim looking at Dallas Cintrone. She was dark haired and dark skinned like her father. Antonio Bandaras would be a close cousin to Dallas and Ambassador Cintrone in looks he thought.

�I have to get her up and we need to get this picture to Archie.� He said to himself.

He got up and walked to his bedroom door. She was sleeping peacefully. He almost didn�t have the heart toe hee her up after her very hard morning with him but this couldn�t wait. Even without makeup she was beautiful. The peaches and cream complexion and her freckles made it hard for him to believe she was almost 41 years old.

He got dressed and sat on the bed. Then he carefully brushed her hair back with his hand. The sun was shining though the window giving her an angelic or goddess in her case look. With his touch she rolled over and smiled at him.

�Hello Beautiful. It�s been almost an hour. I have a picture of Estrada I need to take and have aged. I think I know this man. I think I�ve met him.� Said Jim.

�What? You mean here in Las Vegas?� She asked a little dazed from sleep and hearing that Jim may have met Estrada.

�Yes I�m afraid so.� Said Jim. �I�m not positive but he looks familiar to me.�

�Oh Dios Mio!� She exclaimed. �Jim, maybe we should leave this alone.�

�Nevada, if it is the man I think he is then you might bump into him here. That could be more dangerous, I can�t have that now. I wont have you harmed.� He said.

�It is far too late for that Novio.� She said. �The harm was done a long time ago.�

�I want justice for you and Dallas.� Said Jim.

�All I want is peace.� She said. �Justice is something that can never be. Besides what are you going to do? Even if it is him. There is no way to connect him with my parents. After 26 years the evidence taken would be spoiled or non existent.�

�Will you let me do this? Trust me Nevada. I promise no harm will come to you or Dallas. The people I know at Interpol are good friends and will keep this on the QT.� He said.

�QT meaning?� She asked.

�Private, confidential.� He said.

�Jim if you want to do this it is alright with me but be careful. Estrada is the devil. He has ways of making you sorry . I do not want anything happening to you either. I just wanted to forewarn you.� She said.

�Ok. Let�s go and get the picture aged.� He said.

�Jim, could you do that alone? I really do not wish to look upon his face again. I still see it from time to time and that is enough.� She said.

�Ok. I can understand that. I�m trying to be as easy as I can with all this. It�s just bothering me.� He said.

�You are a cop though and though Novio. I can not stop you from being what you are and who you are nor would I want too. I know it is for my good as well as my sister�s. I do appreciate you wanting justice for all of this.� She said. �But I fear it has come to late to do anything.�

�We�ll see Honey. Listen, in all this I have never meant to bring up bad shit for you. If I see I have overstepped then I�ll stop. I just want you and Dallas to have some peace of mind and closure. To know Estrada has paid for what he�s done.� Said Jim.

Nevada got up aent ent to get her clothes. She was putting them on while they finished talking.

�You go and get done what you think best.� Said Nevada. �I am sorry I can not go with you.�

�Hey, I understand. It�s ok Honey.� Said Jim he hugged her after she had her clothes on.

�Oh Mi Corazon!� she said.

�My heart.� He said.

�Si. Jim I could so easily��

�I know, I could too.� He said as they embraced tighter. �Where are you going to be? After I get this done I will come to you. Then we have some outside of the house fun.�

�I will be at my apartment.� She said. �I will write down the address for you.�

�Then I get to see how you live.� Said Jim as they looked at each other letting go the embrace a little.

She giggled. �Si, I suppose so. Do not expect much.�

�Oh I bet it�s clean and beautiful.� Said Jim.

�Well, at least I know it is clean.� She said. Nevada let him go and wrote down her address for him. He took the paper and put it in wal wallet.

�Oh and the meal you left for me��..I ate it but it was that night I ate it. The container is clean. Hold on a moment and I�ll get it.� Said Jim as he walked to the kitchen and opened the dishwasher. He got it and handed the container to her.

�Gracious.� She said.

�Gracious for the meal. Oh, how do you say your welcome in Spanish?� He asked.

�Da Nada.� She said.

�Da Nada.� He said. �Ok, just asking. I�m serious about learning Spanish, Nevada. If we are going to��.well, if we are going to date and be together it would be stupid of me not to try and learn.�

�You are serious about it and I will do what I can to teach you. I bet you already know much.� She said.

�Not much but I could get into a fight at a bar over two shots of Tequila.� He chuckled.

She giggled. �Oh I bet it is more than that.�

�Hardly more than that. I really hate to leave you. After last night��.�

�After last night and this morning it is hard to leave you mi Corazon.� she said as he embraced her again. They kissed. Jim pulled back a little to see her reaction. He was stunned at the look on her face.

�Wow, you really are interested��.in me.� He said.

�I am Jim it�s more than interest now. Do what you must. I know it is for me and my sister. Plus if he is still alive and well, it would be better to know where he is. You are right about surprises and running into him. It very well could mean my death and the death of my sister.� she said.

�I�ll get this done as quickly as I can.� He said as they started walking out of the house into the garage. �I don�t want to be away from you long right now.�

�I can imagine why Novio. I feel the same way.� Said Nevada. He hugged her and kissed her one more time before he let her go.

�Be careful Honey.� Said Jim as she walked to her car.

�You too Novio.� Said Nevada giving him a smile.

Nevada got in her car and pulled out of the driveway. Jim stood watching her.

�Well get moving��.she�s not a woman to be kept waiting.� Said Jim as he got in his car and drove to the station.

When he got there Archie was no where to be found. He was walking toward his office when he ran into Warrick Brown.

�Brass��.Hey Brass!� Yelled Warrick.

�Oh hi Rick what�s up?� He asked.

�I might ask you the same question.� said Warrick smiling at him. �I saw you with the new dispatcher yesterday at the picnic.�

�Oh well, Nevada and I just hit it off. I was looking for Archie Johnson is he here?� Asked Jim.

�Actually I�m glad about that. I was hoping after the Ellie stuff you would get a break. You deserve it man. No, he left a little while ago. What do you have there?� Asked Warrick.

�It�s a picture I need aged. I don�t know how to work the soft wear or I would do it myself.� Said Jim giving Warrick the picture of Estrada.

�Is he a suspect?� Asked Warrick.

�We think so.� Said Jim. �I see seen this man somewhere and I think I might have met him.�

�Come on down to the AV room. I know how to work the soft wear. I think I can help you. Your right he does look familiar. How old is this picture?� Asked Warrick.

�About 26 years old.� Said Jim.

�What case is this?� Asked Warrick.

�Well, it�s not an active case. I just wanted to find out if I was right or not about knowing this guy.� Said Jim.

Warrick and Jim walked down to the AV room and Warrick fed the picture though the scanner.

�Man you sure look happy. Things must have gone really well with the two of you. She is a beautiful woman you�re a lucky man.� Said Warrick.

�So it shows��..�

�Hey don�t worry too much about that. It�s actually goodsee see you��relaxed and happy for once.� Said Warrick.

�Well, thanks man.� Said Jim.

�That old stuff between us was over years ago.� Said Warrick.

�Yeah. I�m glad too. I was a real jack ass back then. I�m sorry Rick.� Said Jim.

�Over and done. Ok, let�s add a little bit of age.� saarriarrick working the mouse on the bevy of options on the program.

As he aged the picture it became apparent to both of them that they knew of the man and he was there in Las Vegas.

�Isn�t that Alex Cordoba?� Asked Warrick.

�Yeah, it is that is what I was afraid of. Damn it!� Said Jim. He started pacing and flexing his left hand. He did that when he was agitated.

�Ok, so we are in agreement with who we think he is. Brass, you know we can go though AFIS and see. I mean he has to have finger prints on file. Do you want me to stay out of this?� Asked Warrick.

�I can�t think of a better CSI to help me with this.� Said Jim. �But I�m going to have to tell you why I suppose.�

�Not unless you want too Brass.� Said Warrick.

�It would help me for you to know.� Said Jim. �Is Jaquie Franco in?�

�No but I think Hodges is.� Said Warrick. �Actually I can do that too. I�m not as good as she is but I sure will do what I can.�

�Thanks I�m going to owe you several.� Said Jim.

�Na, just be happy with the . Th. That will be enough.� Said Warrick as they pulled a picture off the printer of an aged Estrada or Cordoba as his name was now they thought.

They waited until Hodges left and went on in to the fingerprint room. They had closed down the programs and deleted things for now until they were sure.

They did a search for Alex Cordoba�s finger prints and discovered there were some on file with the city and DMV. Warrick fed the information into AFIS and they waited.

�This could take hours.� Said Warrick.

�I know but we have to be sure before we start anything.� Said Jim.
�Ok, if you want to tell me the story you can.� Said Warrick.

�Well��..� Jim started the story of Nevada and Dallas and the kidnapping and murder of their parents. He told Warrick that he suspected Alex Cordoba of being Estrada.

�Wow, some story. You must really like this woman a lot. Not that just looking at her you wouldn�t. She does have it goin� on.� Said Warrick.

�Yeah, well it�s been a long time since I felt like this. I just want her safe and some closure for her and Dallas.� Said Jim.

�So, she lived in Dallas and her sister�s name is Dallas. That�s cool.� Said Warrick.

�Yes, But Dallas is named for her maternal grandmother.� Said Jim.

�That�s really cool. So how�d she get the name Nevada?� Asked Warrick.

�She told me she was born with a head full of snow white curly hair. Nevada in Spanish means snowy.� Said Jim.

�You have learned a lot about her. How long have you known her?� Asked Warrick.

�Well, we have talked off and on for about a month. Things just��escalated yesterday. It was the first time we had time to relax and to relate to each other out side work.� Said Jim.

�Hey, it looks too me that you related to each other just fine. I�m still happy for you. Gives me hope that one day I might meet someone that special.� Said Warrick.

�Oh she is special.� Said Jim smiling a le ree remembering all that had gone on.

�From the looks of it she is warm for your form which is great too.� Said Warrick. AFIS had brought up something it was blinking where the finger prints matched.

�Well some guys have it and some don�t.� He chuckled. �We have a match so soon?� Asked Jim.

�Yeah, someone must be looking for him too. Says here, Fernando Escobar Estradirthirth date��..May 24, 1934 Seville, Spain��.Brass do you seet?� t?� Asked Warrick.

�Yeah, says, he has been missing since��.Oh my God!� Said Jim.

�What is it Brass?� Asked Warrick.

�June 19,1978 from Madrid, Spain. That�s the date she gave me to look for information. It is the day her parents were murdered in a horse stable. Damn it! I wanted to be wrong about this but I�m not. Someone else is searching for him too or it wouldn�t be pulled up into the data basevadevada and Dallas are in big trouble Nevada most of all because she is here in Vegas.� Said Jim almost in shock at the realization.

�Brass, what can I do to help?� Asked Warrick.

�I don�t know I�m going to have to think of something quick though. Nevada still resembles the 14 year old she was then. She�s taller and filled out more of course but she has the same beautiful face she did then.� Said Jim. �Can you punch up both files for both names and let me have a copy?�

�Sure.� Said Warrick doing it on the small laptop beside the machine.

�I have to get this information to Nevada as soon as possible first. I have to keep her in the loop.� Said Jim.

�Yeah, of course. If I can help��.�

�You already have buddy��thanks.� Said Jim as he took the files and the aged picture. �I have to go. I can�t let this wait.�

�No, but let me know if I can help.� Said Warrick. �Good luck.�

�Thanks a.� S.� Said Jim as the two men shook hands. He picked up the files and turned. �No mention of this yet. Please Rick?�

�Not a word.� Said Warrick. Jim smiled at him but it was a guarded smile and left down the hall.

Meanwhile at Nevada�s apartment she was on the phone with her sister Dallas.

�I found him Mi Hermana.� Said Dallas calling her sister in Spanish.

�Found who?� Asked Nevada.

�The rat bastardo that killed our parents but you are in danger. He is in Las Vegas. Maybe you should come home to Texas.� Said Dallas.

�Dallas, I have something wonderful to tell you first before we talk of Estrada.� said Nevada.

�Sure. What is it Hermana?� Asked Dallas.

�You know the police Capitan I was telling you about?� Asked Nevada.

�Si, Capitan Fantastico you called him.� She said.

�Well, humm we��.had a date yesterday at the picnic.� Said Nevada.

�And what else? Or shall I guess Hermana?� Asked Dallas giggling.

�How you know these things�� giggled Nevada.

�I just do. You sound happy, well rested and very relaxed.� Said Dallas.

�Oh he has a way with relaxation.� Nevada said still giggling.

�Sounds like it.� Said Dallas. �So, you going to come home or shall I guess about that too now that Capitan Fantastico has relaxed you so much?�

�I couldn�t even if I wanted too Hermana. I think I am falling for him. He is so chivalrous�..so much like Father. But not what you think. I am not trying to replace Father nor do I see him as one. He is not old enough to be our father. He is 51 years old. He was a Catholic just like us, and he has been married but is divorced. He is so strong and handsome. He is a good man.� Said Nevada.

�Well you know a good man is hard to find. Or is it a hard man is good to find? Which one is that?� Asked Dallas.

Nevada thought. �I will have to asked Jim about the wording. Oh and yanking your goat is not right either, it is either yank your chain or get your goat.� Said Nevada.

�Silly, you are the one thas tas the most problems with the sayings. I have always had problems with that saying.� Said Dallas.

Nevada and Dallas giggled. �Hermana besides being a good man what else does he have to offer?� Asked Dallas.

�Many things Hermana. He is a homicide detective with the rank of Capitan. He has been a cop most of his adult life I think he said almost 30 years, he has a wondrous smile, beautiful blue eyes and his hands��Hermana the hands are��..magic!� she said.

�Well, Hermana I think you are in love with the man. You will have to bring him to Texas to meet us. Uncle Patrick and Aunt Maeve will have to meet him. You believe that Uncle Patrick will like him?� Asked Dallas.

�I think so.� Said Nevada. �As for Estrada, Jim is looking into something. He went to age a picture of Estrada. He is on the same road you are on. I bet he has found he was right about his assumptions.�

�Then he will be off and running back to you for��..�

�I can only hope so but I believe so. He is a good honest man. I love his sense of humor. Sometimes dry but sparkling.� Said Nevada.

� sou sounds like champagne Nevada!� Said Dallas.

�Si, What made me compare him to that I will never know but he is a fine bottle of Dom.� Said Nevada.

�Oh I wish I could find another like Javier.� Said Dallas.

�I know you miss him. I actually miss him too. Was a tragedy loosing him the way you did.� Said Nevada.

�It was. Listen Hermana, The name that Estrada is using is Alex Cordoba.� Said Dallas.

Nevada heard a knock about that time. �I bet that is Jim.�

�I will let you go then and enjoy him.� Said Dallas. �I know you will.� She giggled.

�Ok, I love you Hermana.� Said Nevada.

�As I love you.� Said Dallas and they hung up. Nevada was already dressed in a halter summer dress and thong sandals. She opened the door and Jim stood there with a very unhappy face at first but that faded seeing she was wearing something so sexy.

�Hello Beautiful.� He said.

�Hello Novio.� She said and he walked in the apartment. He hugged her and gave her a kiss.

�Nice place.� He said walking around the living room looking at the apartment. �It�s small but homey. Are those old weapons on the wall? He asked.

�Yes, daggers, stilettos. Some black powder guns. The Cintrone coat of arms hangs right here.� Said Nevada.

�Really cool Nevada. I just need to make one more comment and then we can talk business.� Said Jim.

�What is that Novio?� She asked.

�I need to thank God for thin summer, halter dresses at the moment.� He said. �My God, you just get more beautiful.�

�Oh, well you get more handsome too Novio.� She said as they kissed again. It was hard for him to tear himself away from her and be a cop at the moment but all he found out had to be said to protect her.

�Honey, I was unfortunately right about the man. He is Estrada. Warrick Brown and I ran things though AFIS and Warrick actually aged the picture for me.� Said Jim.

�I just got a call from my sister saying that very thing.� Said Nevada.

�Oh and who did she say he was?� Asked Jim.

�Well we did not talk long. But she mentioned a Alex Cordoba. She has been looking though Interpol. I didn�t know she was doing any of this. I bet that is why you got a hit on his fingerprints. She put him in the database.� Said Nevada.

�Ok that�s why he is there then. So you know he is in Vegas?� Asked Jim.

�Si.� She said.

�You know what he does here? In Vegas?� Asked Jim.

�No, Dallas and I did not get too far talking before you knocked.� Said Nevada.

�Oh, sorry about that I know you don�t get to talk with her a lot.� Said Jim.

�That is fine I can call her back later.� Said Nevada.

From inside her bedroom a voice came blaring �Mamma.�

�Nevada, you told me��.�

She started laughing. �That is Esmerelda. She is my Parrot. She is a double yellow head Parrot Would you like to meet her?� Asked Nevada.

�A bird?� Asked Jim.

�Si, I have had her twenty years. She is my baby.� Said Nevada. They walked into her bedroom and there sat a beautiful green and yellow parrot on her elegant cage.

�Hola.� Said the bird.

�Hola Esmerelda.� She said as the bird climbed on her arm and got on her shoulder. Then the bird rubbed up against her like a cat would. �Esmerelda this Jim Brass.�

�Hola.� The bird said again this time to Jim.

�Hola Esmerelda. Oh Nevada she is beautiful! Does she bite?� He asked smiling at the bird.

�No she does not bite.� Said Nevada as the bird walked down her arm and cocker her head looking at Jim.

�Mamma, que hombre?� She asked Nevada.

�Jim Brass.� Said Nevada.

�Jim Brass.� Esmerelda cooed. She put her head down.

�She wants a scratch Jim.� Said Nevada. Jim cautiously touched the birds head. She raised up under his hand. Then the bird got on Jim�s hand walking up his arm to his shoulder andbed bed against him like she had done to Nevada. Then she started grooming him with her beak lightly.

�Esmerelda shame on you.� Said Nevada.

�What�s she doing and do I need to worry.� Asked Jim who was pretty well as dumbfounded as Nevada was on the birds behavior.

�No she is what you call potty trained. But she is exhibiting mating responses. She has never done this before. But she knows I have been with you. I am sure she smells you on me.� Said Nevada. �And vice versa. She likes you a lot. She probably thinks I brought you home for her!� She laughed.

�Well I like her too but I don�t think it would work out me being who I am and she being who she is. How about we just be friends Esmerelda?� He asked. �Amigos.� He added.

�Amigos.� Said Esmerelda. �Jim Brass, Mi Amigo.�

�Well I�m glad she likes me. Gosh she is beautiful and so colorful. She�s smart too. Does she speak English?� Asked Jim.

�She does she just does not when she is feeling out a situation. You are right that she is smart. I have had her since she was without feathers. I hand raised her.� Said Nevada. She took her from Jim�s arm.

�You don�t have to do that. It�s ok but I didn�t think I would ever know a bird. I�m more of a dog or cat kind of guy. Esmerelda slid over on to his hand as Jim continued scratching her.

�Esmerelda will steal your heart.� Said Nevada. �I am afraid I might loose you to her now.�

�Well I haven�t been so popular with the ladies in all my life. I like her. Don�t worry about the other thing Nevada you stole my heart already. We really should put her back and talk but she is a nice distraction. Hopefully a good friend.� Said Jim.

�Amigos.� Said the bird.

�Si, we need to talk about all this and how we plan to do what we are able to do.� She said taking Esmerelda from his arm.

�Jim Brass.� Said the bird.

�Esmerelda, it was nice meeting you.� He said. �What am I doing she can�t possibly��.�

�She does Jim. Look at her she is pouting.� said Nevada and visibly the bird looked to be pouting.

�I will see you later Esmerelda. I promise.� Said Jim scratching the bird again. �It feels so different from fur.�

�Si it does. My sister has a male named Chico.� said Nevada. �We were going to breed them but I got enough of Texas.�

They walked back into her living room.

�Please have a seat.� Said Nevada as she sat on the large brown leather sofa. He sat down with her and opened one of the files.

�You have two files.� Said Nevada.

�Two names remember. One is Estrada�s file the other Cordoba�s. Warrick gave them to me. I had to have some help with the soft wear. I had to tell him about the case Nevada I�m sorry. But I trust Warrick.� Said Jim as he looked at her.

�It is all right Novio. I trust you. Besides I have seen Warrick around the station. He is a good CSI is he not?� She asked.

�They all all good but Warrick andave ave history. I just happened to run into him and I couldn�t find the techs I knew.� He said.

�It is ok.� Said Nevada. �What it in the files?�

�That�s something I hadn�t had time to read. It was going on a couple of hours since we left each other and I thought it might be better if I got back to you.� Said Jim.

�I understand your reasoning.� Said Nevada smiling at him.

�Cordoba I know is a land developer. He is one of the richest men in Nevada.� Said Jim.

�Si and his riches came from the Cintrone gold he stole. Everything he has built for himself was built with blood money. My father said many times. Those who pave their way with the blood of others, will not keep what they have. God will seek justice for the blood of the dead cries from the ground.� Said Nevada.

�Wise man your father, and eloquent. That�s the sad part. Your gold is long gone but we can find a way to make him pay for what he did somehow.� Said Jim. �It�s going to be a tricky thinghouthout a lot of evidence. Nevada does your sister have connections to the Madrid Interpol?�

�I think so.� Said Nevada. �Otherwise she would not have gotten Estrada�s file.� She looked at Estrada�s file. It was thick with what he had done as a police man in Spain. �He was once a good man. I guess greed got the better of him. He had been passed up a lot it looks like for promotions it wasn�t that he wasn�t a good cop. Just one of those men that do not stand out.�

�How you can remain objective is another thing.� Said Jim. �You are a very strong woman Nevada. That�s a prize in my book.�

�Gracious, but you know why I am.� Said Nevada.

�Yeah, I wish it wasn�t so.� Said Jim.

�But if I had never had what happened happen Jim I might not be strong. I was a shy little girl, me and my sister both were. But from the time I was small I knew Dallas was mine to help my parents raise. They loved us very much but I was made to believe Dallas needed protecting. That is why I am so fierce on it. She was more shy than I. But after we lost our parents something happened to me. Something that could either be deemed good or bad. I grew very strong of will after we made our escape. I have never returned to the girl I was. I am not sure I would have wanted too. That Nevada was weak and afraid of her own shadow. The Nevada I became was the one that left the parting gift on Estrada�s face.� She said. She looked at the other file picture. �Look he still bares the marks I gave him.�

�Looks like he would have gotten rid of those.� Said Jim looking at the picture.

�He might have seen them as a way to make himself different to use another name. Cordoba has a son. It says here but he is my own age. You say he is a land developer. He buys and sells land then?� Said Nevada.

�Yes. I feel like I have opened Pandora�s Box now for some reason.� Said Jim sadly. �I just wanted you and Dallas safe that�s all.�

�You did not, you only had an idea too. Remember Dallas is the one that got the information first. You were just on the same wave length as her. She was afraid for me that is why she did what she did. You also were afraid for me. I can not be angry at you or Dallas either one for wanting to protect me. Because Novio, like it or not you and Dallas love me. Different of course but I know it�s in the beginnings of it. As I do you Mi Corazon.� Said Nevada.

�How you know these things��Talk about second sight.� He said.

�My mothers family had some and father�s did too so I am doubly blessed or cursed with it. We do not have to speak of this again for a while until we are both really sure.� Said Nevada.

�What ever you want to do. But I think you are right.� Said Jim. �I�m sorry for bringing all this back up but I would rather you and Dallas be safe than sorry.�

�I know. It is not as difficult knowing why you did it. It brings me great joy to know you care so much. For it is the first time in my life a man out side the family wanted my safety.� She said as he hugged her and she hugged back.

�We have both been alone too long. Your right about providence. I�m beginning to like that word a lot.� Said Jim.

�As do I.� said Nevada. He kissed her and bumped the coffee table letting her go. A lighter fell to the carpeted floor.

�Sorry.� He said as he picked up the gold lighter. He looked at it and he was sure it was her father�s. �This is your dad�s right?� He asked.

�Si, that is the lighter I freed myself and Dallas with.� She said as he looked at the bottom and there was a small blade attached to it that slid out.

�It is pretty c� Sa� Said Jim. �This was your Abuelo�s before it was you father�s right?�

�Si.� She said.

�Nevada, since we know the man�s in town and all perhaps we shouldn�t go out.� Said Jim.

�Why, if we were to run into him what could he do?� Asked Nevada. �He is not going to risk loosing all that he has gained the last two decades and then some to go after me in public.�

�Your right but I don�t want an altercation.� Said Jim.

�Neither do I but he will not do that in public.� Said Nevada. �Besides we have not a case to go to the sheriff or anyone else yet.�

�No but we are going to have to at least talk to Gil Grissom on things. He has to know just in case we can get some more evidence. I want him, Catherine and Warrick on this for sure. The rest need to know just in case something comes up. I will tell the story if you can�t. I know it by heart now. Because someone took mine already.� He said as he put the lighter down.

�Ok, but we need to also talk with Dallas and see how much she has. She might be privy to the evidence if there is any left. I am only speculating on that.� She said.

�We need to call her and talk to her. What a way to meet your girl�s family. A murder investigation.� Said Jim.

�But are you and I not cops?� She asked. �What better reason? Eh Novio?�

�I see your point. Can�t get away from beingop fop for a moment can we?� asked Jim. He smiled at her hand took her hand in his.

�No, but with us Novio��.why would we want too?� She quipped. Jim chuckled.

�True.� He said.

�Jim, did you not promise me to have some out of the house fun?� She asked.

�I did but with all this going on I�m not sure it�s safe.� He said.

�We need to talk to Dallas first though. There is not much here that can not wait until tomorrow.� She said. �Then we go to Dr. Grissom and the others.�

�Ok, I�m going to do what you want to on this. It is your family and your life we are talking about here. I just don�t want the evil you talk about to be let loose here in Las Vegas. We have enough without adding this bastard into the mix.�

�I know. We need to look into his business dealings the last 26 years too.� Said Nevada.

�Good Idea. I guess you have a computer?� He asked.

�Yes, it is in my bedroom.� Said Nevada. �First though let us talk to Dallas and see what is what you say up?�

�Yes, I guess we should.� Said Jim.

�I will call her now.� Said Nevada.

�Good idea.� said Jim.

Nevada called her sister and everything that Jim had managed to dig up was what Dallas had. Since they were in Vegas Jim and Nevada could get his recent dealings a lot easier than Dallas could. Dallas had contacts in Madrid and was in the process of getting the folder on hers and Nevada�s parents case. Dallas went by Murrieta her married name. She was a cop�s widow with no children. Together all three of them were looking for justice that was long over due. Each determined that Estrada would pay for what he had done.
