Ch12: The Blood Trail
I called Nick, and we arrived at the scene at the same time. The father was leaving on ambulance it didn't look good either. The paramedics said the father had been shot twice.
"Catherine look at this" Nick said I was looking at the father's blood pool. I walked over and there was another blood pool by a couch.
"Jay didn't sound right on the phone" Nick looked under the couch and pulled out the shelter phone. It had blood on it.
"There's a blood trail here" Nick said pointing to the floor it led outside were it ended.
"Jay must have been shot... Yesterday after the ball he was jumped"
"Why didn't you call the police?"
"He begged me not too..."
"Did you get a look at any of them?"
"No but one had a small Russian accent"
"Alright well you better go before Grissom gets here and we both get in trouble..." he said practically pushing me in my car.
As if on cue once I walked in the door, Grissom called.
"Hello"
"It's Grissom we need your help"
*********************
The whole car ride there was something odd. Brass' office was packed. Nick, Grissom, Brass, and some suit were inside. I quietly knocked on the door.
"Come in Catherine"
"What's this about?"
"This is Mr. Robert Ellington... Heldon's attorney"
"I am here solely to protect my client"
"Then where is he?" I cried
"I don't know..." Nick tried to cool me down "he simply called me"
"What do you think happened?" Grissom said
"I think he killed him... Father Dennis is a C.I. For you guys and Jay has a nasty temper... Which one of you is Catherine Willows?" the 'lawyer' pulled out a weapon. "Alright nobody move put your weapons on the table now!" I wasn't armed the man aimed his gun at me. I had a knot in my stomach with a harsh cold sweat. Jay was right the KOB*K would go to tremendous lengths to kill or 'convince' someone. I heard the gunfire, Nick grabbed me. It happened so quickly. Nick's body fell limp over mine and we were outside Brass' office I heard more gunshots. Then it was quiet, Nick groaned.
"Oh my god Nick are you hit?" I sat up
"no I don't think so" he sat up we jumped through the window in his office" Nick had a cut on his face, arms, and his hands.
I immediately withdrew myself from everything. I had never been so shook up about a shooting probably because I was never the target.
"Let me drive you home" Nick said, he had a band aid on his head, and his one arm was wrapped in gauze.
"Thank you Nicky... I'm sorry"
"What this? Is just a scratch"
********************************
Nick walked me and checked the house to make sure that no one was there.
"Alright it's all clear..."
"Thank you Nicky"
"I can honestly say were even now" I think he was referring to Kristi and how I proved he was innocent.
"Yea we are..."
We made small talk for a few more minutes. I heard sirens so I went to the window and saw lights. They stopped at my house!! Brass barged in with SWAT.
"Brass what's going on?"
"We picked up Jay's cell phone signal here" he said and Grissom was right behind him.
"Is he here?" Grissom said
"No no... I just got here"
"Clear" all the swat guys said. They continued to search my house.
"Grissom you picked up his signal here?"
"Yea..." just then Brass came in holding a zip lock bag. It had blood on it, with Jay's phone inside with a note.
"Found this on the deck... I don't have gloves" Grissom took out the note, wearing gloves of course.
"The KOB*K will be coming soon, please protect Miss Cate this is my fault. I beg you please don't let anything happen to her I know she hates but I love her and I am doing this to protect her. The KOB*K is ruthless so please protect her, Jay... He left his phone here so we would come here" Grissom said putting the note in a bag.
"I know where he is going" I blurted out
"Where?"
"Jay has a daughter... He's going to protect her"
"Do you know where she lives?"
"No Jay gave her away to Father Dennis so that he could find a home for her. Only Jay and Father Dennis know where she lives..." the cell phone started to ring, Grissom clicked it on.
"Hello..."
"Let me talk to Miss Cate..." it was Jay; I took the phone from Grissom
"Jay I'm here how are you?"
"I'm alright... I'm so sorry"
"About what?"
"How's father Dennis?"
"It's not looking good... Jay please tell what happened?"
"It was Drago; he attacked me the other night... He went to kill me tonight we fought the father came to break it up... Drago shot him then he shot me, once he left I called you"
"Jay how did you know to call me right now?"
"My friend is watching your house, he was watching till the cops got there"
"Jay where are..."
"Please don't ask me. I don't want to lie to you but I can't tell you I'll turn myself in after I know Carly is safe… I'm sorry about all this the last thing I wanted to do is break up with you so after all this mess blows over I want to take you out…"
"Just come to my house you're not in trouble"
"Catherine I have to get Drago or he'll just keep coming after you… I'm sorry Catherine but I really do love and please don't hate me for this" he hung up the phone. I just cried.
Please enjoy and review!!!
The road for a better life is starting to get pretty bumpy for Jay and might end in a crash.
