Their Threat

Cha. 21

CSI is not mine

Catherine and Gil drove through the streets of Las Vegas, making their way to the lab. Holding her hand the whole way, Gil tried to think positively about the outcome of Lindsay's abduction.

She'll be fine. She'll be fine. She'll be fine.

He repeated the statement over and over in his mind. He had a feeling everything would be ok but he also had his doubts.

"You don't think she's alive do you?"

Gil looked over at Catherine, his thoughts now broken and he felt a sting of guilt. He always expected the worst in kidnapping cases but this wasn't an ordinary kidnapping; this was Lindsay.

"No Cath I don't think she'd dead, but I am also trying to prepare myself for an unforeseen outcome."

Catherine sighed and the tears started to fall again.

"I can't lose my baby Gil. She is the only reason I'm still alive. I don't know what I would do with myself."

Gil turned into the parking lot of the lab looking for a space. After he parked he turned the Denali off and turned and pulled Catherine to him. She cried into his chest as he rubbed her back trying to calm her down. He tilted her chin up and gave her a solemn smile. He placed a soft kiss on her lips and wiped the tears from her porcelain cheek.

"Let's go inside and see where they are in the investigation. I want you to be strong Cath. Let the guys see that you believe in them and that you are trying to keep it together. OK?"

Catherine nodded and took several deep breaths. She pulled a tissue out of her bag and blew her nose, which hurt more than any physical pain she had been in a while considering it hasn't healed yet. Her nose bled a bit and Gil noticed.

"Cath is your nose bleeding?"

"Yeah a little but its from the break. I'm ok."

The both got out of the truck and made their way to the door. Gil wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held the door for her.

She'll be fine. She'll be fine. She'll be fine.
