Spoilers: Boom
This is an extension of the episode entitled "Boom" I kind of got this idea from a 7th Heaven episode and it fit perfectly with this episode. In the 7th Heaven episode, the dad, who is a pastor, is shot. Instead of telling his wife and making her worry, he attempts to keep it a secret. However it doesn't take long for her to find out. In this CSI episode, Nick has a one night stand with a girl and she ends up murdered after he leaves her. He is blamed for her death and Catherine finds out the truth and proves that he is innocent. Meanwhile, Grissom and the rest of the team meet a bomb expert named Dominick who help them track down a bomb maker. It turns out to be a high school kid who has just told Grissom that he planted one at his high school. Dominick beats everyone there and manages to get the bomb out of the school right when Grissom shows up.
Chapter 1
Grissom left the interrogation room and sprinted to his car. He was now racing the clock. He had to make it in time.
Once at the school, he practically leapt from the car before it came to a complete stop. As he raced down the steps to the school, his heart sank as he saw Dominick coming out of the school carrying a small box.
"Dominick!" Grissom yelled, "Put it down! It's active!"
Unfortunately, it was too late. The bomb went off, instantly killing Dominick and throwing Grissom backwards. He slowly sat up and looked at what was left of Dominick. Pieces of debris were everywhere, and it made Grissom sick to see all of the destruction.
As he continued to survey the damage, he began to take notice of his own injuries. His elbow was bleeding and there were a few cuts that were stinging his face and hands. His head was throbbing and when Grissom reached back to feel it, he was surprised to find his hand covered in blood. He shook his head as he attempted to ignore the pain and dizziness. However, as he stood, he was instantly reminded. His world began to spin and Grissom became quite light-headed. A passing officer helped him to steady himself.
"I'm fine...just a little shook up. That's all." he assured the officer, who nodded and walked away. Grissom looked at Dominick's body again and saw the blood. Suddenly his usually iron stomach turned and he felt like he was going to be sick. Instead another wave of dizziness caused him to collapse and black out.
