Chapter 1: Decisions
"You.... did not.... just say that Gil." Catherine stuttered in utter shock.
"The truth hurts Cath. I'm sorry, but now that I've told you, maybe you can go out and find yourself a real man. One that doesn't treat you like crap." Gil said. Some one like me, Catherine. Some one like me. His head screamed back.
"Yea, well Sean doesn't treat me like crap okay? This is none of your business anyway, jerk." She screamed back, slamming the door on her way out of his office.
Gil sank back into his chair. This had been going on all week. Ever since he had seen Catherine's new boyfriend, Sean, kissing another girl. Gil tried to tell her, but it never managed to come out the right way.
Moments Before...
"Sean does not treat me like crap Gil. I can't believe that you're still insisting I dump him. You've only met him once! And even then you never said a word except, 'Catherine, we have a crime scene to get to.' And then you glared at him!" Catherine said, walking into his office. Gil followed closely behind her, shutting the door behind them.
Gil walked over to his desk and sat down. "Catherine, he-"
"Don't even start with me Gil. I don't need your consent Gil. He doesn't treat me like crap."
Gil rose in his seat. It was on, now. "Well then Catherine, would you care to explain why EVERY man you say that about, ends up cheating on you? Hitting you? Treating you like some trophy wife stripper?" He yelled right back.
He had to admit, that was really harsh. But he had to do it. Every time he had tried to say something to her, she cut him off, or stormed off before he could finish. She just didn't want to hear it. But she needed to.
He didn't say that, he didn't say that...She repeated in her head. She walked over to the break room, grabbed her purse and keys, and headed out the door.
As she started up her car and drove over to her daughter's school she thought about Sean. Truthfully, she had broken up with him after she saw that Grissom didn't take a shine to him. If Gil didn't trust him, neither did she. But she wasn't about to let her best friends ego to get up to the size of Texas!
"Mommy, Mommy, Mommy!" a little girl came running into the car.
"Did you remember my stuffed cat? The one I left at Uncle Warrick's computer?" she asked as soon as they pulled away.
"Oh... no sweetheart, I forgot! How about we go over after we get drop your school stuff off, grab your stuffed animal, then go get something to eat?" she smiled at her daughter. Truth was, she was in such a rage at Grissom that she forgot all about the cat.
"Yay!!!" Lindsay cheered.
At the office...
"Grissom? I think you might want to see this." Nick poked his head in the CSI's office.
"I'll be right there Nick." He said, not even looking up.
"No, I mean like now, Gris. Agent Brody wants to talk to you."
Gil stood up immediately. "Agent Brody? Why the hell is he here?"
"I dunno, but he wants to talk to you."
Gil stood up, and walked out of his office into the hall. Nick led him into the meeting room, and sat down next to Sara and Warrick.
"Ahh, Gil. Nice to see you again." Agent Brody stuck his hand out.
Gil reluctantly took his hand and shook it. "Why are you here? We have no major cases going on."
"Actually, Gris, remember that one a few weeks ago? The rapist that was targeting married couples?" Sara spoke up.
Gil nodded his head at her. "Well, they think that they have the guy." Sara finished.
"Now, we didn't say that, Miss Sidle. We said that we think that he moved his location to Hawaii." The agent looked at Sara, then Gil.
"Sara is not going undercover, Agent." Gil said immediately.
"Right to the point as usual Mr. Grissom. But you must here our proposal first."
"What makes you think that he's the same guy?" Warrick asked.
The agent turned to him. "He carved 'look at Vegas' in the last vic's stomach. Nearly killed her. We think that he's escalating into murder, Mr. Brown."
"And you want to send one of us into his hands?" Gil stated, glaring at Brody.
"Like I said before, Grissom. Hear our proposal first."
"You have 10 seconds, before I say get out."
"That's all we'll need. We were going to send, 2 couples undercover as married couples, that are friends on vacation, at the hotel he's striking at."
"Why two?" Sara asked.
"Double the chance of him picking one of us, and double the chance of someone helping you if you were to get caught." He said.
"Now, we will have cameras in the halls, and on the balcony of the suites. Whoever goes, will have two way communicator at all times."
"Who's going?" Nick asked, eagerly.
"We have picked Miss Sidle, and Miss..." he looked in the folder he was holding "Willows."
"Somebody called?"
Everyone turned around to see Catherine standing at the door way, with her clone beside her.
"Uncle Gil!" Lindsay ran up and hugged him.
"Hey Lindsay."
"Sorry, I was just passing by, when I heard what Agent Brody said. What exactly are me and Sar doing?" she looked at him with interest.
"Nothing. We're not doing it." Gil glared.
"Aww! Come on Gris! This could be fun!" Sara wined.
"What could be fun?" Catherine repeated herself.
Sara pulled Catherine over into the corner so she could explain all the details, hoping that she would go along with it.
"Agent Brody here wants two couples to go undercover in Hawaii" Sara began " undercover Cath," small pause "in Hawaii and Grissom is"
Gil shot her an irritated glance and cut her off " and I said no, I am not putting two of my best Csi's at risk"
"Gris" Sara began " whay can't you see the good in this, I mean we could catch the guy, before he starts killing"
"Whoa" Catherine leaned froward in her chair " before who starts killing?"
Warrick cracked a small smile " you know the case we had about two weeks ago, the rapist targeting the married couples?"
Catherine shook her head " yes, what about it"
Gil jumped in yet again " Well Agent Brody thinks" Gil shoot a glance a Warrick and motioned him to take Lindsey out of the room " he thinks he can come in here and tell me that I am sending two of my csi's to Hawaii, so this creep can target one of you and get you raped and murdered and I was justing telling him how I won't allow it" Gil slammed a case file shut and stormed out of the room.
Catherine looked over at Sara and raised her eyebrows
" What?" Sara shook her head " I 'm not going to talk to him"
Catherine let out a small sigh " fine" she whispered and chased after Grissom.
"Gil" she called as she stormed into his office " let's just get something straight, you may be my boss and my best friend and you may think that you can tell me who I can and can't date, but you will not make a decison for me without consulting me about it first"
Gil just stared at her as if she could see his reponse in his eyes
"And I" she began again but he cut her off
"Fine" he whispered " I won't make the decision for you but you have to know that I am against this the whole way and if you are going to tell Agent Brody that you want to go ahead and do this then I will back you one hundred percent, under one condition"
"And what's that" she whispered to him
"under the condition that you marry me"
