Chapter 8-Relitivity.
After Nevada and Jim had finished their work at the strip joint and the body had been taken to the morgue they went back to the crime lab and to Greg Saunders who was just finishing up what Catherine had brought to him from the strip joint. Catherine had seen Jim and Nevada walk into the building she went up to them followed by Grissom.
“Oh, this doesn’t look good Nevada.” Said Jim.
“It sure does not Novio.” Said Nevada.
“I’m glad I had a chance to catch you two. Greg is finishing the DNA testing on Cordoba Jr. I didn’t pick up enough from your hand Nevada, I’m sorry.” Said Catherine.
“That is ok Amiga.” Said Nevada.
“Catherine told me that you ran into Cordoba and his son tonight.” Said Grissom.
“Yes and she’s talked out on that subject Gil.” Said Jim for Nevada. Jim had his hand on Nevada’s shoulder protectively.
“I wasn’t going to ask questions Jim, I know she’s upset about it all. I can see that.” Said Grissom.
“Shall we go and see what Greg found?” Asked Catherine. “Your DNA was in the computer banks already you being law enforcement.”
“Ok, let us go and do this quickly. I know it will say yes for some reason.” Said Nevada.
“You two go on and we will be there shortly.” Said Jim.
“Ok.” Said Grissom who with Catherine walked to the DNA lab.
“Honey, you ok?” He asked.
“No, but that is beside this point Novio.” She said. “After 26 years I clam up and do not talk. He knows it is me Jim his eyes told me that.”
“Don’t worry Nevada. I’m with you all the way on this. You know that.” He said.
“I know let us get this thing over.” She said.
“Ok Duchess.” said Jim. He gripped her hand in his and they walked into the DNA lab. Greg looked solemn. Nevada stood at the table with Jim at her side. Grissom and Catherine looked on in back of them.
“Hi Nevada, Captain Brass. The test came back with 6 markers in common. That means family. I’m sorry.” Said Greg who truly was. He knew the story too. Nevada and him were friends and it hurt to have to give her that news. The man was son to the man that had taken her hostage at 14.
Nevada held on well. The aristocrat in her said don’t cry, don’t let on your fears but the young girl that had seen her parents murdered was crying inside her. She felt like running, she felt liking ing but the hand holding hers said hold on to me. Everything is going to work out fine. Just hold on to me. I’m not leaving you.
“This is fact Amigo?” She asked flatly with almost no emotion. Her voice not quivering at all.
“Yes, Nevada. Really I’m so sorry.” Said Greg.
“Very well then. Thank you Amigo. You are a good and trusted friend. I know the test was done right with you at the helm.” She said as stoic as anyone had ever seen including Jim who was beginning to worry about her.
She let go Jim’s hand and walked out of the lab followed by Jim, Catherine and Grissom.
“Nevada could we go down to my office and talk about this?” Asked Grissom gently. “I’m not going to ask a lot of questions but I am going to offer you some ideas as to why this all happened. I have a theory from as much as you told us earlier about your abduction and the murders. With this knowledge…..it all kind of fits.”
“Ok.” She said and they followed Grissom and Catherine down to his office. Catherine and Jim gripped her hands and she gripped theirs tightly. They went into his office and Nevada sat down as did Catherine. Jim stood behind her his hands on the chair she was in.
“Now what is your take Amigo?” She asked.
“I believe that now that we have evidence that Estrada/Cordoba is related to you that he was taking what he believed to be his. I think that he wanted his take of the gold because he was a relative. Now I don’t know how he is related to you. I know very little about your family. But I suspect your father had a half brother and never knew it. The markers suggest that from what I saw.” Said Grissom.
“Could be. I know nothing of my Abuelo’s dealings. So, you could be right Amigo.” She said. “But my father was a good and just man. Had Estrada just come to him and asked for his share, my father would have been pleased to give him as much as he asked for. There was pleanty. 30 million if I remember right. He would have been happy to know he had a brother. Even a half one. There was no reason to take me and Dallas hostage. There was no reason to kill my parents.”
“I know Nevada. This is all confusing me too.” Said Grissom.
“Didn’t you say your father believed that Estrada would kill you and your sister if he left you there and went to get the rest of it?” Asked Jim.
“Si.” Said Nevada. “That is why he threw me the lighter with the blade on it. But he had no knowledge of Estrada being a family member.”
“Ok then, he couldn’t allow you to be left alone with him any longer as a father he had to act. He shot Estrada didn’t he? I mean he wounded him.” Asked Jim.
“Si.” She said. “I do not remember if Estrada gave the order to fire on my parents after that. I was too busy getting the ropes untied.”
“Perhaps Estrada didn’t give an order to fire on them. Maybe he never meant to kill your parents.” Said Catherine. “Maybe he just wanted the money and to go on with his life somewhere.”
“I never thought of that. “But right now everything I remember does not fit right. There are some things I can not go into. I am sorry for that mi Amigo. ” She said. She was getting uncomfortable now. Jim felt the tension in her shoulders. He knew something happened. Jim was fearing the worst right now.
“I think this is enough. We have kicked this thing around and all we have is theory and conjecture right now.” Said Jim. “Nevada has had enough for one day.”
“This time I agree with you.” Said Grissom. He knew too something had happened to her and her sister Dallas also. Catherine did too and they all believed it to be rape. But by whom was another story that she would have to tell. And it wouldn’t be tonight.
“Let’s go home Duchess.” Said Jim.
“Si, Porfavor Novio.” She said.
“In order to get the man there is going to have to be more evidence. Didn’t you say the policeman in charge was sending you his documents?” Asked Catherine.
“Si. I will inform all of you once I have it.” Said Nevada.
“Good. I’m sorry Nevada to put you though this but in order to get him and to have justice for you and your parents and sister we have to ask.” Said Grissom gently again. Grissom didn’t like what he was seeing in her. He had seen it many times on living victims. Nevada’s eyes held pain but she was still holding her own. He was afraid for hut sut she had Jim now to comfort her and to help her though it and Grissom knew from Jim’s actions that he loved her. He had never seen Jim in love before but he knew the symptoms or could remember back to them for reference.
“Come on Duchess let’s go.” Said Jim as she rose from the chair.
“Thank you Amigo for your help. God Bless you in your attempts to help my family get justice.” She said.
“Da Nada Nevada.” Said Grissom. “Take care.”
“I shall Amigo. Take care Catherine.” Said Nevada.
“You too I’ll call you later.” Said Catherine. She and Jim left his office.
“Gris, something awful happened to her in Estrada’s grasp.” Said Catherine.
“Yes Catherine it did. How she and her sister survived that is beyond me. The only reason she isn’t dead and her sister with her is because her father did what he did. But I don’t believe Estrada is the one behind the physical harm done to her. I think the man only wanted his share of the fortune. But that is just me.” Said Grissom.
“I’m not so sure, you saw her eyes. How many times have you seen that look in a woman’s eyes? I mean the living and the dead for a rape case?” She asked.
“Too many to count. The only one that knows for sure is Estrada.”
On the way back to Jim’s house Nevada sat quietly in the Mustang as he drove. He reached for her hand and grasped it. She grasped his with almost all that she had.
“Honey, I’m going to hand this case off to Vega. I already called him and explained the situation. We can’t work this case because of your connection to it.” Said Jim.
“I know Novio you always do the right thing. There may be a compromise already into making all this stick and making Cordoba Jr. pay for killing the dancer.” Said Nevada sadly.
“Nevada I……….”
“It is ok Novio. There is nothing that can be done right now on this. I need to push it back for a while and concentrate on the good I have before me. You, mi Corazon are that good.” She said.
“Ok.” he said. “But if you ever want to tell me what happened you can. You know that. I know it’s bad.” he said very gently.
“I shall when I can. I can not find the words in English right now.” Said Nevada.
“Ok Duchess.” He said as he let her hand go and they pulled into his drive way. They got out and went inside.
“Jim.” She said stopping him in the living room.
“Yes Honey?” He asked.
“Muchos Gracias for tonight.” She said and hugged him. Jim put his arms around her. He held her for the good part of 5 minutes. He knew she wanted to cry.
“Da Nada, Nevada.” Said Jim softly and gently. He hated her feeling like this but he also knew she trusted him because the tears were coming. “It’s ok Baby, just let it go if you can.”
“Si, this is the only place I have felt safe in 26 years. In your arms.” She said letting go finally.
“Somehow I knew that. You are not alone anymore. Nevada I………” She stopped him again.
“Not now Novio. A happier time for that porfavor?” She said.
“Well, ok.” Said Jim. “I can understand that but wouldn’t me saying it make you feel better?”
“I do not want anything associated with us to be part of what happened to me back then. Can you comprende?” She asked.
“Yes Nevada I see your point.” Said Jim as he let her go. “You want me to fill the tub and you soak a bit?” He was changing the subject since she wasn’t going to allow him to say it.
“That would be welcomed.” She said. “Where is the wine you and I had the other night?” She asked.
“No wine for you tonight or is it morning?” He looked at his watch. “Yeah ok so it’s morning. No drinking get me?” He asked scolding a little trying to smile for her.
“Ok I can understand your reluctance to let me drink and I thank you for that. You are not going to let me do something, Estupido.” She said.
“You got that right.” Said Jim. “Because I…….” She looked at him. “Ok stop that look right now.”
“I know Mi Novio.” She said.
“Then God Bless it let me say it!” He said. “Jesus, what if something happens I can’t tell you!”
“Nothing will Jim.” Said Nevada. “I trust in God that much.”
Jim grumbled off into the bathroom and started the water cussing a little with her name attached. He was talking to himself as he got the water ready for her.
“Damn is she trying to drive me nuts? Is she nuts? Why can’t she just let me say it? God Bless it! She is so………..” Nevada came into the bathroom.
