She walked towards the house. Seeing the car parked in the driveway she cursed inwardly. Getting to the door she took a deep breath and put her key in the lock. She opened the door as silently as possible. Entering the house she pulled the door quietly behind her. She crept like a ghost to the stairs. She began to climb the stairs and when she reached the halfway point she thought "I'm home free" it was shortly there after she heard the sound of the one step that creaked. She knew she was in for it now.

"Catherine!" she heard his shrill voice pierce the house. She took a deep breathe when she heard the floor creek under his weight. "Get your ass down here!" she walked down the stairs and faced him.

"Yes Ed, what can I help you with?" she tried to be strong. She kept telling herself she had no weaknesses.

"Where the hell have you been?" he shrieked right in her face.

"It's called work Ed, I have a real job now." She with just as much resentment in her voice.

"Coming home from work at 2 a.m.?" He spat.

"Overtime. Tough case, I'm just trying to keep food on the table."

"Bullshit!" he screamed

"Keep your voice down. You're going to wake Lindsey up." She replied

"This is my house! I'll be as loud as I want!" With that he grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him. She tried to pull away and whimpered as he grabbed her tighter. "And I'll do whatever the hell I want to do with you."

"Don't touch me!" she fought to get away.

Gotta do what it take 'cuz it's al in our hands

We all make mistakes, but it's never too late to start again

Take another breath and say another prayer

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Finally she broke free of his grasp and tried to run up the stairs. He grabbed her ankle out from under her. As she fell she smacked her head on the stairs. Catherine looked around, blinking trying to clear up her vision. She tried to get up and leave but he grabbed her arm and threw her into the wall. She struggled with him.

"Don't fight me. "He yelled and tightened his grip.

Catherine continued to struggle against his tight clench. That was when Eddie struck her. She figured her nose was broken. He kicked her rib cage two maybe three times. Finally she gave up. He spat on her and walked a way to collapse on the couch. She managed to lift herself from the floor. She stumbled up the stairs. She picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number. He answered.

"Hello" he asked tiredly.

"Grissom?" She asked breathlessly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then fly away from here, anywhere, yeah, I don't care

We'll just fly away from here

Our hopes and dreams are out there somewhere

Won't let time pass us by

We'll just fly
