Author's note: Just a one shot of what I think should happen next week. But it will be split into two chapters.
Grissom had just told him what his options were, either take the suspension or be fired. Walking out of the lab he punched the side of his truck leaving a dent in the door.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Cath, now's not the time."
"Maybe not," chuckling to try to ease his pain, "but that's my truck."
"Shit, I'm sorry. I just, never mind I have no right to burden you with this."
"Look I can pretend I'm not pissed, but I have never lied to you. Though I am pissed I still know you didn't do it, but I can't just vouch for you. The drugs yeah they piss me off, the fact you didn't come to me hurts though."
She was making sense and he knew it, he should have turned to her she would have him. Looking her in the eye for the first time since the beginning of the case he began to sob leaning against her truck, but soon found himself being pulled to the ground and felt her push his head to her chest in an attempt to comfort him.
"Shhh. We'll find who really did this. You have to promise me one thing though before I'll go in and get Nick and Greg on your side."
Turning his face into her he whispered on her bare chest.
"What?"
"Get help, you have a serious problem. I'll give you the number of the guy who helped me get rid of my problem."
"You had a problem?"
"Coke, Lindsay was little and Eddie left me with her, a Coke problem, and twenty bucks. One thing had to give."
Heading into the lab she watched him drive away. She passed Grissom and when she didn't speak he knew she had talked to Warrick and was pissed. Going into DNA she found Nick and Greg standing there waiting for results.
"When you all finish, I need to see both of you in my office. Whatever you do don't let Grissom know."
When Greg and Nick walked into Catherine's office they found her crying softly at her desk, Nick knew he had been hurt by all this with Warrick but had never stopped to think how Cath would feel, they all knew she loved him and this wasn't fair to her.
"Cath, you okay?"
Nick was the first to speak, Greg just stood there looking like he could cry too.
"Yeah, lock the door."
After the boys had sat she began to tell them her plan. After she had finished Greg finally found his voice.
"So he agreed to get help, and we are going behind Gil's back and doing anything necessary to find Warrick innocent?"
"No to find the truth whatever it is, even if it isn't what we want, God forbid."
