INTRO: This will be a C/S story so if you don't like it, don't read. Simple as that. I haven't written and a while so give me some time, it should get better. I have a lot of ideas for this story and a lot of tricks up my sleeve. If anyone has read any of my previous stories posted on CBS you know what I mean. I also have never written anything but GSR so this is also a change! I really hope you enjoy!!! OHHHH the title. THE STRANGER, is the name of one of my favorite songs by Melissa Ferrick. You should listen to it or at least look at the lyrics so you understand the title! Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing! All rights are reserved to CSI and CBS. Also I don't own John Mayer! I also don't own Melissa Ferrick, or any of her work. =]
Enjoy!
Work was winding down to a quick end. Catherine was wiped. She sat in the locker room combing her hair as she saw many of her co workers walk past, none stopping into the locker room. As Catherine placed the comb back in her locker, she grabbed her purse and jacket as she ran her hand across the only recent picture of Lindsey.
"You know it's about time you get a new picture of her. She's turning into a gorgeous young women just like her mother." A familiar voice said. Catherine turned around and sighed as she saw Sara opening her locker
"She's getting to that age, I can no longer take pictures of her. The only picture she takes are mirror shots for myspace. And if I even try to take a picture she blows up." Catherine said closing her locker. Catherine slid her jacket it on and gave Sara a small smile as she walked out of the locker room. Sara watcher her curls bounce perfectly on the blonde's shoulders.
God, Why is she so gorgeous? Sara thought to herself as she stood up and Nick appeared in the doorway.
"Hey Sar, Wanna come to the club with me tonight? John Mayer is playing?" Nick asked.
"Not tonight, I'm beat." Sara said as she closed her locker.
"Come on Sar, we both know that you're not dating anyone, so you're just going to go home and open a beer, turn on your stereo and read a Forensic Journal." Nick said with a slight laugh.
"I am not going to do any of those things." Sara lied. "Besides, Cath just left, she looks like she could use a night of fun. Why don't you ask her?" Sara said as she walked past Nick not letting him answer. Nick smiled his Texan smiled and shook his head as he watched the brunette walk quickly down the hallway.
As Sara scurried down the hallway to her car she thought, about Gil. What am I going to do? He denied me in the past so I moved on, but then he came back, and needed me. I will always love him, but not in a relationship way. But God, Catherine is just so, so sexy. Sara thought as she let a grin appear across her face she her gaped tooth smile, she even blushed a little. Sara fidgeted with her keys as she tried to unlock her car. She drove home quietly thinking about Catherine, ignoring the whole subject of Grissom. As she walked in her door, she threw her keys on the counter and emptied out her pockets. She grabbed a beer and sat it next to her keys as she grabbed the remote, and the turned on her stereo. She tossed the remote on to her couch as she headed to her bedroom shedding clothing and picking them up as she goes. She changed into comfy lounge pants and slid on a tank top before returning to grab her beer. She took a large gulp as she grabbed the journal she had been reading for the bookshelf and made her self comfortable on the couch before burying her nose into the book.
Meanwhile across town Catherine was pulling into her driveway as she got a call. She answered her phone to hear Nick's voice and quickly agreed to his offer. She got out of her car to find Lindsey sound asleep. She scratched a note to Lindsey.
Linds,
Got off work early, I'm going out with Uncle Nick, I'll see you when I get back. Grandma will take you to school, but I'll pick you up.
xoxoxo
Mom
Catherine posted it to the fridge and ran up stairs to jump in the shower. 30 minutes later there was a knock at the door. Catherine ran down the stairs and grabbed her purse before running out the door. Once at the night club Catherine and Nick had a few drinks, while listening to John Mayer sing.
"You know he is one of my favorite singers." Catherine said as she stood up and grabbed Nick's arm to dance. Nick dragged his feet but smiled and danced as Catherine swayed her hips with her arms around Nick's neck. Nick smiled at her but let a small laugh out as he looked down to see himself barely moving. A few songs later one of Catherine's favorite songs came on and when John Mayer sung the course Catherine sang along;
So we keep waiting. waiting Waiting on the world to change. waiting
Nick smiled. When the song finished they headed to the bar and got a drink. A flirty little young thing came up to Nick wanting to dance. "I'm sorry miss, but I'm here with my friend," he said pointing to Catherine. The girl made a puppy dog face and Nick looked at Catherine with a sideways smile and a begging look. Catherine laughed and pushed him towards her and smiled. As Nick disappeared into the the ocean of people Catherine turned back to her drink. The bar tender came up to Catherine and handed her a drink and pointed to a man at the end of the table. Catherine held up her hand and shook her head No. The next thing she knows, Nick is leaving with the younger girl and the room is spinning. She slightly hears a voice saying "I'll take her home." She fought to keep consciousness but failed.

The next morning Catherine woke up to sun shinning through curtains with holes in it. She looked down to see herself naked in a very unfamiliar place. She paniced as she got up wrapping herself in the blanket. She opened her purse and dumped the contents on to the bathroom counter as she gave her self a sexual assult check up. She cried as she finished before getting in the shower. She cried some more tears as she washed her body in the cold shower. When she was finished she grabbed her belongings and ran outside.
She drove home and showered once more before picking up Lindsey and driving to work. Catherine called Sara to meet her at the hotel. Catherine informed Gil that she needed Sara for a few hours and then she could continue the miniature case. Gil didn't ask questions which surprised Catherine, but she didn't have time for games. When Sara showed up Catherine walk up the her door and opened it. Sara smiled and immediately saw sadness in her eyes. Her smiled turned to a frown as Catherine indicated for her to walk with her. Sara climbed out of the car and locked the doors as she stood in front of Catherine. "What's wrong Cat?" Sara asked worried. Catherine didn't speak and she started to walk. Sara walked beside her for a minute before saying anything. "Hey, What's going on?" Sara asked again before stopping. Catherine stopped and faced the brunette. All Sara could do was think about how gorgeous she was but then came back to earth as she realized Catherine needed her, Sara Sidle.
"I may have been roofied and raped. I woke up here." Catherine said before walking again.
"What?" Sara practically shouted.
"I, uh, improvised my own rape kit. I've got pubic combing, nail scrapings, vaginal swab, urine samples ..." Catherine said shyly avoiding eye contact with anything ahead. She just starred at the road. Sara placed her hand on Catherine's arm. Sara felt a shock and pulled back slightly before putting her hand back on her arm, stopping the blonde in her tracks.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Did you call it in?" Sara asked speaking very quickly.
"I called you." Catherine said looking into Sara's eyes. She placed her hand on Sara's hand as she waited for Sara to speak. Sara's heart was racing as the blonde's touch was to much. Sara moved he hand back to her side.
"Catherine, doing it yourself is going to make anything that you get inadmissible." Sara said raising her hand to her arm but never actually touching her.
"Yeah, I know procedure. I didn't want an official investigation. I- I just want to know what happened" Catherine said with tears in her eyes.
"Okay, all right." Sara said. She couldn't bear to see Catherine this upset.
"Uh ... I got to get this, uh, stuff to the lab. Room 229, it's right up there. Please print it. And keep it between us." Catherine said nervously. Sara nodded her head.
"Okay." Sara said as she watched the blonde turn around.
"Thanks." Catherine said with a sigh of relief in her voice as she walked away leaving Sara standing there.
