AN: Thanks for the reviews!


Chapter 10

As he turned his head toward the street his phone rings, he pulls it out of his pocket, cleared his throat to get the emotion out then puts his phone up to his ear and said. "Grissom."

Warrick on the other line said. "I have something."

"OK, I'll be there in a few minutes."

"Alright."

They said bye and hung up and that's when Greg and Nick came running up to them, he turns to them and said. "Warrick's found something, lets go."

They all nodded and walked to Nick's vehicle since Greg had given his car keys to Amanda and Grissom got a ride to the church from Nick. After they got in, Nick drove them to the lab which was only a few blocks away.

Nick parks the vehicle in the parking lot and they immediately get out and walked towards the lab.

When they walked inside the building, Judy the receptionist started to smile but saw the faces of the men and knew something was wrong she just hopes everything will turn out right or this place could be unbearable to be in.

The guys were walking down hall when Warrick walked out of the computer lab, he sees them and they continued to walk up to him when they was close Warrick hands Grissom a folder that containted on what he found.

Grissom opens it and scans the information: She was a big time lawyer after Harvard, ended up at the best Lawyer firm in New York, became one of the youngest partners in their history, then…Grissom stopped reading looked up after he read what happened, he looked at Warrick and said. "is this true?"

Warrick nodded then replied. "I called the N.Y. law firm and they confirmed it."

Grissom looks back down at the paper and Nick said. "what?"

Grissom looks back up and looks at Greg and Nick then said. "it says that Haley had a mental break down a year ago, she got professional help, they gave her medication and she hadn't been at the law frim since"

Warrick hands him a bag with a pill bottle inside, Grissom looks at Warrick, takes the bag and they walk to an empty lab room and opened it up, he looks at the date when it was last refilled and counted all the pills, he looks at the guys and said."it is pretty obvious but she hasn't taken her pills in two months." they shook their heads and Grissom looks back at Warrick and said. "you couldn't find anything else?"

"Besides a lot of photos of you and any clippings from newspapers, no."

Since the gang hadn't really been over at her place much they had no idea the extent of her obsession with Grissom became.

They all sighed then Grissom looks at the guys and said. "We should go over to Catherine's house and see if we can find anything."

They all nodded and piled in the vehicle and drove over there but when they got there and noticed Catherine's vehicle wasn't in the driveway. Nick smiles pulls out and dials immediately to the AV lab, when the lab tech Archie answers the phone Nick says. "Archie see if you can track down this license's plate, 143FEV." Archie nodded over the phone not asking any questions.

Nick looks over at Grissom while Archie was busy said. "Catherine put a tracking device in her vehicle for when Lindsey drives so she can know were her daughter is." Grissom smiles, the other two guys chuckled and right when he was about to say something Archie's voice came over the phone. "we have a hit."

Nick said. "send me the information on the phone Archie." After Archie told him he will they hung up, then Grissom looked at Warrick through the review mirror and said. "call the ambulance just in case something is very wrong we are getting our girls home." They all nodded with a smile and once the message beeped on Nick's phone they were out of there hoping nothing to serious was wrong.


Sara looks down at her lap and said. "Catherine you need to stay awake."

Catherine started to get a really bad headache and since they had nothing soft for her to lay down on, Sara had dusted her coat off from the dirt and put it in her lap then Catherine laid her head down but was having a really tough time keeping her eyes open, Catherine nodded and said. "I am trying but my head just hurts really bad."

Sara puts her hand on top of the blond haired women and said. "I know and I wish there is something I could do, just keep talking."

"About what? We talked more in the last six hours then we have in the six years we've known each other."

Sara chuckles a little then said. "Don't I know it, why is that?"

Catherine shrugged her shoulders opened her eyes up as they were closing and said. "I don't know maybe because we were both women working a 'man's' profession and we were competing against each other on who was really qualified to be there."

Sara snickered and said. "Are you sure it wasn't competition on which guy's attention we could get?"

Catherine chuckled a little then said. "Well, maybe a little bit on that."

This time they both chuckled a little and Sara said while shaking her head. "Man, you hated me when I first came here."

Catherine shook her head and said. "hey…" she got cut off when she started to cough really bad after a few minutes she lays her back down and Sara said. "Are you OK?"

Catherine cleared her dry throat and said. "yeah I just wish we had water."

Sara nodded and replied. "I know me too, anyway you were saying."

She was trying to get Catherine's mind away from the grim situation.

Catherine thinks on what was the last thing they were talking about and she continues. "As I was saying I never hated you, I think it was more of the situation you were brought here for, I mean you were trying to investigate one of our own."

"True but only for the truth and it all worked out in the end right?"

Catherine nodded and started coughing again, then spoke. "yeah it did and for whatever it's worth I am glad you stuck around and I am very happy you and Gil got together."

Sara smiles and was about to talk again when she thought she heard something. Sara asks Catherine to left her head and when she set the jacket on the floor, Catherine puts her head on it again and asked. "What is it?"

She walks closer to the cellar door, looks back at Catherine and said. "I think I hear something." She looks up and shouted. "Hey anyone out there?"


Grissom parks the vehicle in the drive way to the house, looks over at Nick and asked surprised. "This is were her vehicle is at?"

Nick looks around also not impressed with the view. "yeah."

They all got out. Grissom tells Warrick and Greg to look in the house and him and Nick were going to look in the barn, they nodded and went to do their tasks.

Grissom and Nick get to the barn and noticed it was padlocked, Grissom finds a big rock, hit's the lock a few times and it cracked open and fell to the ground and Nick said. "Pretty good."

Grissom smiles and said. "For an old man huh?"

Nick just shook his head and chose not to comment. They opened the door and immediately sees Catherine's vehicle, they look through the windows and every inch of the barn. They shook their heads at each other telling one another that they aren't in here. When they walked out of the barn they see Warrick and Greg running to the side of the house and they choose to follow them. just as they hit the corner of the house they hear Warrick said.
"we found them."

They ran a little bit faster and heard Warrick ask looking down at the cellar's closed doors. "Sara it's Warrick are you guys OK?"

Sara half chuckles and half sobs happy they found them, then she says. "just get us out." she looks over at the jacket and Catherine had her eyes closed, she ran back to her and said. "come on Catherine wake up." she shouts upwards so Warrick could hear her. "Hurry up I think Catherine has a concussion she needs a doctor."

Sara hears the lock being broken and the chain going through the door handles and fell on the ground, the doors open, and immediately Nick and Warrick go down the stairs and Nick is right by Catherine's side, he gets on his knees and looks at his girlfriend puts hand on her cheek and said. "come on honey, you have to be all right."

He picks her up and carries her out of the cellar just in time to hear the ambulance sirens. Warrick looks over at Sara and she asks. "what?"

He smiles and said. "it's good to see the real you, how are you?"

Sara smiles a little and replied. "Better now that you're here."

He shakes his head and said. "What are you still standing here for, there is somebody up there dieing to see you."

Sara smiles bigger, pats him on the shoulder and sprints up the stairs. She gets above ground and her eyes lock with Grissom's and in two seconds flat she runs to him and wraps her arms around his neck, he grunted at the sudden contact but wrapped his arms around her just as tightly and he thanked god that she was alright.

She started sobbing, happy to be back in his arms.

After a few minutes she pulls back, he puts his hand on her cheek looks into the eyes of the women he loves and said. "I love you Sara and I am so glad your ok."

She smiles her smile reserved only for him and just like the moment he found out Sara was missing he felt very foolish not realizing it sooner becuase no matter who tried to be Sara nobody could compare to the real person, the woman that was in his arms, the woman that made everything feel perfect. He wipes more tears away and she replies. "I love you too."

They were leaning toward each other but their moment was interrupted when Nick said. "I hate to interrupt but Catherine needs to go to the hospital and the paramedics want Sara to get checked over."

Sara nodded and replied "OK."

They get to the ambulance and Sara gets in the back with Nick and Catherine. Grissom felt that Nick had a more of a right to go since Catherine was in worse shape than Sara. Before they shut the back doors, Grissom said. "I'll be there soon." Sara nodded, the doors closed and the ambulance drove away. Grissom sighed in relief that his world was spinning in the right way again.

Warrick and Greg walked up to him and Warrick said. "lets get out of here."

Grissom looked at Warrick nodded, took his keys out of his pocket threw them to Greg and said. "you drive Greg." Greg smiles and runs to the drivers side. Grissom holds out his hand to Warrick, they shake hands and Grissom said. "Thanks Warrick." Warrick nods with a smile then they release hands and they get into the vehicle so they could met them all at the hospital.
