A/N: Just wanted to say thanks to anyone who is reviewing the story, and hope you guys like it! I actually would have kept this going as just chapt 5 but it got too long, so I decided to keep writing and split it up into 2 chapters. Please please R&R!

Disclaimer: Like always, own the character of Katherin Bend, John Gates, and anyone else who works at the Pink Panda!

"Listen, John, this isn't going to work. I thought I could handle your possessiveness, but I can't. I'm not yours', I'm not anyone's I am myself. I answer to me, not anyone else. I've been putting up for this for way too long. It's over John. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore." She turned and walked away before he could say or do anything else. Chi-Chi was watching the whole thing, and saw Johns face, saw him punch the wall before walking out the front door. She saw Katherin's eyes, how sad and scared they were, and how happy she had been on that stage. She knew things weren't going to be okay in the club for a long time.

"So" as she finished explaining to the two listening men at her bar "that's what happened. That was the night she broke up with him. He didn't come back here after that. I didn't even think she had contact with him anymore. What's going on is Katherin okay?" She could tell these two "friends" of Kat's weren't just friends. They both had that look in their eyes, they wanted to try and save her. She'd seen it before, in Johns. She didn't want the same thing to happen to these two. "Please, tell me she's alright, tell me what happened."

Nick spoke first. "We're Crime Scene Investigators. John attacked Kat last night and he hit her. We're trying to piece together a background on him. We want to make sure we can make charges stick so he can't hurt her again." Chi-Chi could tell this guy really cared about Katherin, which she deserved. She wanted things to go well for the girl, she had such a rough childhood, she deserved to have a great life and be happy for once.

"Okay" said Chi-Chi calmly "what else do you need to know?"

"Has John been back at all since that night?" questioned Greg. "Have you seen him in here? Has he been around asking questions?"

Chi-Chi could tell the young man thought the world of Katherin, and they couldn't have known each other long. She felt torn, because as much as she liked the two strangers, she had known John longer. Even though he had been possessive of Katherin, she knew it was because he loved her. He just went about showing her the wrong way. "No" she said truthfully "I haven't seen him. You may want to ask some of the dancers , they may have seen him around. I stick pretty much up front here at the bar. He could have been hanging around back stage." She started thinking about the secret entrance into the club, for the girls to get out without being bothered by the men that usually hung around after close. "I'll get Sindy to show you, there's a door in the back for the dancers." She picked up a phone from behind the bar and hit a button, mumbled something non understandable, and hung up. "She'll be here in a minute, she's getting ready to go on next. Are you sure I can't get you boys something? Water even?" She was trying as hard as she could to be accommodating.

"Water would be great." Nick said, so she filled the glasses and handed them over. As she looked up she could see Sindy walking towards the bar, in barely anything and laughed. Both Nick and Greg turned around just in time to catch a glimpse of a half naked woman walking up to them.

"Hi! I'm Sindy, that's with an S." she smiled at the two men and winked at the younger one who of course got flustered. Nick saved him by telling the dancer who they were and who they were looking for.

"John? Sure I've seen him, he actually just went up to Todd's office." She had barely gotten the words out when both Greg and Nick jumped up, Nick with his hand on his gun and took off in the direction that Kat and gone earlier. They could hear her screaming before they got to the office door.

"Leave me alone John! I told you months ago it was over why can't you leave me alone?" She gasped at the shock of his hand across her already bruised face. She fell to the ground covering her cheek. "You bastard!"

"Get up, you're coming with me. I'm not taking no for an answer from you anymore." Johns voice was distorted but both CSI's heard how angry he was. Nick took out his gun and handed Greg his phone. "Call Brass, tell him to get here right away." Greg nodded and started dialing while Nick crept up the staircase closer to the door. Nick listened to John and Katherin argue, wanting to keep a level head and not go charging into a situation he knew nothing about. He wanted to protect her, he could tell she was scared, but he didn't know if John had a gun. He could hear Katherin crying, no, sobbing.

"John I don't love you! Why can't you understand that? I found someone else I just want to be happy, please, why won't you leave me alone?" She knew when the words came out of her mouth he was going to be even more angry than he already was, if that was possible.

John couldn't believe what she was saying…she found someone else? There would be no one else, not for him. How could she had moved on? "You lying bitch. There isn't anyone else, you're saying that so I'll get mad. Why do you want me to get angry with you?" He raised his hand to hit her again and she saw her chance. She kicked him, hard, between the legs and he groaned and fell to the floor. She jumped up and ran to the office door, opened it and started to run down the stairs when she screamed. Someone had grabbed her to keep her from falling down the steps. She went into automatic defense mode and started hitting the person until she heard his voice.

"Kat shhh it's okay it's just me." The strong arms folded over her and she finally let it all go, sobbing into the mans shoulder.

Who is it? Can you guess? I bet you'll be surprised!
