A/N: Okay, I'm back and I'm ready to go! Are you? Let's check our supplies... hmmmm, we got a mouse, keyboard, monitor, hard drive, modem thingy, plugs, and for laptop users out enjoying the great weather, sunglasses and sun block. LOL This is a short chapter, but my brain is on vacation, so when I think of more, you'll see it. Enjoy!

It was finally the end of shift, and Sara came into the locker room finding Catherine in a daze. She also looked like she had been crying.

"Catherine? Are you alright?" Sara said as Catherine looked up, her eyes red and puffy.

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Ya know, I could tell Grissom that we are going out for a while so you can have a chance to calm down. I mean if he sees you like this, he's going to start asking questions."

"Okay, sure. I'll just tell him we are going to hang out for a while."

"I guess we should hurry. I'm supposed to pick up Lindsey tonight so you guys can have dinner together."

"Okay. You can just take her with you when you bring me home."

"Catherine. You heard him, he loves you more than anything. And I don't doubt that for a minute."

"Okay, I'll meet you outside before Grissom sees me like this."

"Okay, I'll be out in a minute." Sara said grabbing somethings from her locker, and heading for Grissom's office.

Catherine and Sara went to the park to talk. It took Catherine a little over an hour to calm down to the point to where she could face Grissom. He called and asked where she was. She said she was on her way home from the store. She had to have Sara stop at the store to get a few things to cover for herself. Then it was time for her to go home for the one thing she had been dreading all day...the truth.

A/N I know it was short, I just wanted to make up for the long chapter to follow. Well, I think it will be long. Once the writer's block is removed from my road to fanfiction success, then we'll find out. LOL I hope everyone was satisfied and wants more. the next chapter will be better. I promise.
