"Is that the girl?" Catherine asked under her breath as she followed Grissom into the store.

Grissom gave her a little nod but kept silent as they approached the counter where their suspect worked.

"Hi, how may I help you?" The suspect smiled sweetly.

"My husband and I want to find a gift for our daughter. We wanna get her something special for her sixteenth birthday." Catherine could barely hide her smile as she saw Grissom's look of surprise out of the corner of her eye.

"Oh, well we have a lot of beautiful jewelery as you can see here..." The suspect gestured at the many rings, bracelets, and necklaces in the glass display.

"These are beautiful but I don't think you understand. We only have one child. We love our daughter to death and it *is* her sweet 16. If we wanted some random piece of jewelery, we could've gone somewhere else. We were referred here by a friend."

"A friend?" The suspect straightened her back and looked at Catherine suspiciously.

"Yes, William Tressor." Grissom cut in quickly.

"You're a friend of Mr. Tressor's?"

"Yes, we have been for quite a while now." Catherine shrugged nonchalantly.

"Well actually, we just got some new designs. I have them in the back. If you'll just wait one moment, I'll get them for you to look at."

Grissom pulled Catherine away from the counter as the suspect disappeared into a backroom, "What are you doing?" He hissed in a panicked voice.

"What do you think I'm doing? That girl would've never gave in if we came in here as CSI's."

"So you just decided we'd lie to her?"

"We're not lying for nothing, Grissom."

"Does inadmissible evidence mean anything to you?"

"Are you denying that this will work?"

"Just gimme a heads up before you do something like this again. This *is* my case, Catherine."

"And from what I remember, you *asked* me to help you. That's what I'm doing. Now are we continuing or not?" Catherine nodded towards the counter where the suspect had reappeared.

Grissom glanced at the girl then turned back to Catherine with a defeated nod, "Fine."
