Catherine Please Help
It had been over four hours since Gil Grissom's fingerprint had been found on the broken wine glass fragment. Brass had gone to bring him in for questioning, While the others carried on with their own jobs. Greg was matching the blood found on the wall at the scene of the crime, Riley was getting information from Hodges about the mysterious blue substance that Greg had found. Nick and Catherine were both sat in the coffee room drinking cups of tea that were still steaming hot.
"Greg seems really annoyed about this case. First his name is written in blood at the crime scene, I mean his old house, and now we found out that Grissom has something to do with it. I try and talk to him but he just ignores me. I don't know what to do" Nick told her.
"I would tell you to take him off the case but that will make him stress out about it even more. I'll talk to him next time I have a chance if that makes you feel any better" Catherine replied.
Just then Riley walked into the room and handed Nick another piece of paper with the results of the mysterious blue substance.
"There's food colouring on the duvet? Who has food colouring any where near a bed?" Nick asked in a kind of sarcastic manner.
"The writing on the wall was the victims blood but the blood found on the duvet was from a guy called Orlando Johnson, who was reported missing over a couple of weeks ago." Greg announced as he casually walked into the room. A fake smile was plastered across his face.
"So what you're saying is there could be a another possible victim on our hands" Nick answered.
Greg just nodded before turning his back to everyone and leaving the room. On the other side of the corridor Brass came walking down with Grissom in front of him heading towards the interrogation room. Grissom raised his hand as to wave before disappearing through the door.
"Just my luck" Nick sighed behind Greg who had been oblivious to him standing there, before he also entered the interigation room with Brass.
"Riley? Have you noticed Greg acting differently?" Catherine asked trying to find out as much as she possibly could.
"I guess he has been really scared and stressed out about the case. He tries to cheer up but then some more evidence is discovered and sends him over the edge. This routine just keeps going on repeating all the time, never stopping. Nick isn't helping one bit, all he does is laugh at Greg when ever hes scared. I really don't know how much of this that Greg can cope with." Riley explained tears starting to form in her eyes as worry filled her mind.
"Did you ever hear about the time Greg's lab exploded?" Riley nodded "It was all an accident but Greg was scared out of his mind in his hospital bed. I spent the whole week with him and he kept waking up happy but as night drew closer he stressed out as he thought about returning to work. After he started back it took him days to adjust but he managed it. If there's one thing I've learnt about Greg, It's that he will pull through anything, he just needs time. I'm going to go find him but promise me this if he gets any worse please tell me."
Riley nodded once again. Turning on her heels Riley walked out of the room and into the viewing stand outside the interigation Catherine finished drinking her tea before going on her search to find Greg.
Once again Greg was sat outside on the top steps in front of the CSI building. The wind was blowing through his thickly gelled, blonde hair. Upon hearing the door swing open he turned his head to the left to see who was their before quickly turning it back to face into the road.
"Let me guess you and Nick were talking about me earlier" Greg said knowing the answer perfectly.
"Nick and Riley are both very worried about you and the effect that the case is having on you. Will you care to tell me the reason why you are struggling with this case?" Catherine asked as she sat down on the step next to him.
"It's nothing. I'm just over reacting thats all."
"Loads of people over react but your not one of them."
"It's just ... how would you feel if a murder was committed at the house you sold a month ago, your name is written inside in blood and your former boss is the prime suspect in it all. It's not exactly the easiest thing to deal with.£
Just then the door opened once more but this time Grissom walked out through it "Hey you two, it's been a while hasn't it?" he said. Greg got up and started to walk off down the road, butterflies in his stomach.
"Whats wrong with Greg?" Grissom asked as if concerned for the former lab techs state of mind.
"Long story" Catherine sighed before starting to walk after Greg.
