A/N Okay here it goes. I hope everyone likes this and please please please review. They do make me happier and give me more confidence. I'm very self-conscious when it comes to everything. Reviews help relieve my belief that I suck at writing or that I do suck and need improvement!
"Has what happened," Eddie asked slightly worried. Though he may have treated her badly and they were no longer worried he still worried, after all she was the mother of his daughter and if she was in danger so was Lindsey.
"Nothing Ed," Catherine said. Patrica looked at her for a second.
"You will find him won't you? Put him behind bars," She asked. "Promise me you'll find him Ms. Willows. Promise?"
"We can't promise that," She said. "But I can promise you we are all doing our best to find the person responsible. You can help by filling out your statement," she stood walking over to a desk in the corner. She took out a pad of paper and a pen. "Just write everything you remember from when you left the airport and to when you found the body. If we have anything else we need will ask you questions. Lindsey, Eddie why don't you too come with me."
"Catherine?" Brass said giving her a look.
"I'm just moving them someplace more ... comfortable. You could come you know," she gave him a smirk. "We don't bite."
"I highly doubt that," he whispered as he walked by her. She hit him lightly.
"I'll tell Gil on you."
"No I'm scared. He will lecture me about bugs or tell me the truth," he gave her a smirk.
"Gil Grissom's bug lecture," she replied with a laugh. Lindsey walked up next to her taking her hand. Her eyes traveled down to her and then up to Brass.
"Ellie was like that," he said looking at Lindsey.
"Here we are," she said opening Gil's office door. His head popped up upon their entrance with a confused look. He looked from her to Brass to Eddie and finally to Lindsey.
"Want me to leave or can I sit in on this," he asked giving her a questioning look.
"You have to sit in smarty," she replied.
"Daddy!" Lindsey smiled rushing over to Grissom. He enveloped her into a hug. "Mommy tells me Anna is dead."
"I'm sorry Butterfly," he replied. Eddie looked down at Catherine with a scowl.
"It will end soon Ed," she whispered. "Lindsey why don't you take a seat we have some questions for you."
"Okay mommy," she took a seat across from Gil. Eddie sat next to her. Catherine walked around the desk and leaned on the table behind Gil while Brass stayed at the door to keep this private.
"Lindsey," Catherine began.
"Isn't there some rule against questioning your own family members?" Eddie asked.
"Lindsey," She began again. "When was the last time you saw Anna?"
"Before you picked me up at dads before the ... incident," she paused for a moment. "That was like a week ago. Yeah I remember someone entering the house three hours before you arrived but I never saw them leave."
"Was it a him or her," Gil asked leaning in his chair. Eddie shot him a glare which only Catherine spotted. 'Long bumpy road,' she reminded herself.
"I'm not sure they had on a really really long coat," she laughed a bit. "Kinda like when you dressed up as Sherlock. All I remember is that Anna had been with me in front of dad's and then she panicked and rushed inside."
"Do you know why she panicked," Catherine asked standing straighter.
"I think it was the blue convertible that pulled up on the street." Her eyes shot up to Brass's in shock. As did Gil's.
"Brass she said she just got back right?"
"Right," he replied.
"Then how was she on the block," Gil asked. He looked over at Catherine.
"How am I supposed to know," she asked.
"You're a mom and you talked to her. You're also the only female on this case. I'm looking for your opinion. What do you think she may have done?"
"I thought we don't form theories Grissom," she asked. "I thought we follow the evidence."
"And form a theory. The evidence proves or disproves the theory."
"Gil I'm not stupid I know how to do this job," she snapped crossing her arms.
"I'm not saying your stupid and I'm not saying you don't know how to do your job. I'm just wondering if you have a theory yet having some ... incite into this women's head. You talked to her twice now and we haven't."
"I think she loved her daughter very much," she said.
"Enough to kill her to protect her," Brass asked.
"We shouldn't be discussing this right now," Catherine smirked and looked over at Eddie and then smiled over at Lindsey. "Eddie when was the last time you saw or spoke with Anna or her father?"
"Yesterday I talked with her dad," he shrugged. "We were at the club." When he said that he looked straight at Catherine. "You know the one ..."
"I know," she replied. "Did he mention where he was staying or anything? Anyway to contact him?"
"Nope just said he had to get back to take care of the kid and left," he replied.
"Did you notice anything odd in the past week going on at the Grindell residence," Gil asked. Eddie shot him a look that showed all his hate for the man.
"If I did I would have called the police," he replied.
"Right," Catherine said not liking the tension forming in the room. Her eyes searched for Brass and he seemed to get the hint stepping closer to Eddie's side of the room. "Lindsey what about you. Have you seen anything or heard anything odd in the past couple days?"
"I only got to dads this morning," she said with a 'duh' look. "I think the door was slightly unopened but I wasn't really paying attention. Daddy was telling me a joke."
"Jim why don't you take Lindsey to go play some games."
"Sure come on Linds," Brass offered his hand. She happily climbed from her chair and took it.
"Okay Uncle Jim," she replied. Then she looked back at the two. "Mommy? Daddy? Are you going to find who did this?"
"We will do our best Butterfly," Gil responded. Once Jim left with her he opened his mouth to ask Eddie something.
"Gil," She interrupted catching both their gazes. All he had to do was look into her eyes and know what she wanted. With a sigh he left his office and went to work on the case. She walked around the desk and over to the door. Opening it she looked out and narrowed her eyes at Greg. He waved and walked off his eavesdropping unsuccessful. Shutting it she turned to face him. "What the hell is your problem?"
"Are you sure its not you with the problem," he asked standing and walking towards her.
"Ever since I told you what was happening you got angrier at him. He is a good guy Eddie and he loves Lindsey. I don't see what your problem is with him," she sighed. "If you two can't get along then we will have to take this to court. I will not have Lindsey around two arguing fathers. I told you once this daddy and dad stuff will end and soon she will be yelling at Gil about how he isn't her father."
"Not if you keep brainwashing her," he snapped.
"You know what I actually thought we could solve this but I guess not," she turned and opened the door exiting. He followed her towards DNA and found that Lindsey was in their. Along with Greg.
"Mommy!" Lindsey yelled rushing into her arms. "Greg was showing me a new game."
"Oh god," Catherine said with a laugh.
"Don't worry mom it's perfectly sanitary," Greg said. "I'd hug you but your arms are full sorry."
"And Gil would hunt you down and kill you."
"Engaged? I still can't believe it," he shuck his head going to retrieve a folder. He handed it to her. "About time too."
"You got my results already."
"You're always moved to the top of my pile. After Grissom of course."
"How flattering. I'm stuck under Gil huh?"
"And here I thought you like it there," he winked.
"She does," Gil said entering.
"Hey Daddy," Lindsey hugged him too. "Is it okay if I stay with dad a little longer then planned?"
"Of course," Gil agreed looking over at Catherine. "If your mom agrees to it."
"Why ... oh yeah of course baby," she whispered pulling her into a hug. "Love you baby. Your dad is down the hall waiting for you okay."
"Okay love you mommy love you daddy," she skipped out.
"So?" Gil asked.
"All the blood I lifted belonged to the victim," she said.
"Robbins said she died by three stab wounds to the ribs," he informed.
"Let's brief with Warrick real quick."
A/N I know this is short right? Well I hope to have the chapters get longer later. Please please please please please review.
