As Catherine let the spray of water splash across her face she heard the tune of her cell phone. Turning off the water Catherine grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body and answered her phone.
Catherine: Yeah Willows
Grissom: Hey cath it's me Gil listen I need you down here at the lab ASAP
Catherine: Gil it's my day off and I haven't seen Lindsey in a week
Grissom: look I know and I'm sorry but an out of state case just came in and I need all of us on the case
Catherine: Fine I'll be there in an hour
Grissom: 45 minutes we need to start processing
Catherine: whatever
Grissom: I'll make it up to you I promises I'll see you soon
And with that Gil hanged up knowing if he kept talking Catherine would get even more irritated.
Sure enough 45 minutes later Catherine parked her Tahoe in the car park of the CSI HQ, and made her way to the brake room, she just saw Sara, and nick enter. As Catherine walked in she was surprised to see a familiar face amongst her nightshift co-workers.
Catherine: Horatio what are you doing here
Horatio: well it nice to see you to cath
Catherine: oh yeah sorry how have you been
Catherine moved forward to shake Horatio's hand
Horatio: great and you
Catherine: alright
Grissom: ok well know that everyone has said their hellos we have work to do and a crime scene to process. So you three take a Tahoe and go to the crime scene, Catherine Horatio and I will take another car and meet you there
Catherine: ok I'll just grab my field kit from my locker and meet you at the Tahoe in 5
Just as Catherine turned to leave Horatio grabbed her hand
Horatio: hey cat just so were clear this is a Miami case so the investigation runs through me with your assistance
Catherine: don't call me cat Lt Cane
And with a last smile she left.
Her fellow workers had very confused faces Horatio even swore he saw a dark glare from Grissom all eyes lay upon him until he saw Warrick smiling.
Warrick: man you got her there just count your blessing she didn't give you an Ms Willows smart ass Comment.
Less than 25 minutes later Sara, nick and Warrick were starting to process the seen when nick spoke up
Nick: hey Warrick what do you know about Horatio
Warrick: not much man he runs Miami day, he has a Lt Ranking that's about it.
Nick: yeah I'll bet sparks fly with them three before he leaves
Warrick: yeah I'll bet yeah 50 Griss the one who brakes out
Sara: what in the world are you guys talking about
Nick: come on Sara, your saw the way H was looking at Catherine and we all know hoe Grissom looks at her
Sara: I think you guys are reading to much into it I don't think there is anything going on between Griss and Cath there just really good friends
Warrick: oh come off it Sara the entire lab can see it 18 years they cant just always remain friends they just need a push in the right direction
Nick: looks like Mr. Cane can help us with that
Sara: you guys are acting like teenagers, like there's no such thing of really good friends of the opposite sex
Nick: what you jealous Sara
Sara: don't start that again nick
Warrick: you know even if you were Sara I don't think Griss would set his eyes on anyone else in the entire lab, actually world over Catherine. Trust me I have been here a lot longer that you.
Sara: I don't like him like that and it's not like its any of your damn business anyway.
Grissom: hey enough about the public dispute you guys are talking about discuss that later you have a crime scene to process.
All three CSI's turned around with startled looks on there faces
Warrick: eh sorry Griss - Nick: just debating well get back - Sara: um sorry
Grissom: ok well will be in the bedroom if you need anything, once you got all the evidence get it back to the lab and tell Greg put a rush on it.
Warrick: sure thing man.
As Catherine entered the Bedroom she saw nothing but a pool of blood on the floor
Catherine: um hey Griss there's um no body
Horatio: (laughing) no afraid the one in here lived sorry to disappoint you.
Catherine: slapped his shoulder softly ' ha ha ha very funny
