Disclaimer: I don't own CSI
A/N: This is based on the final scene of Leapin' Lizards. It's so unlikely to ever happen, but I couldn't help writing it. Angst. Pure angst.

She stands; arms loose at her sides, tears prickling at her eyes, determination keeping them at bay; searching for understanding.

He looks up at her with eyes that used to envelope her in warmth; blues that used to make her feel safe and calm. Now they send a shiver through her body.

Her fists clench as she fights the nausea rising with her. How could she have been so wrong?

She can't restrain it any longer; a sob escapes her outside the door and she crumbles.

It can't be happening.

And yet it is.

His friends. Deceived.

Gil Grissom. Murderer.
