When Grissom regained consciousness, he didn't immediately open his eyes. His head was throbbing, booming terribly. He groaned, and heard a female voice say, "He's coming around." With much effort, he opened his eyes, and saw blurry shapes. "Grissom?" the voice asked again, and he managed to mutter "Yeah?" He finally recognized the voice. It was Catherine. Grissom tried to struggle to his feet, but a hand reached down and restrained him, "Hey take it easy Grissom," that voice belonged to Nick, "What happened?" Grissom closed his eyes again, concentrating, he had came inside his house, noticed the curtain, and "Someone was in my house, hit me over the head." Grissom opened his eyes again, and his vision had somewhat focused. He saw Catherine, Sara, and Nick bending over him worriedly. "I'm okay." he assured them, as he climbed to his feet over their protests. He raised his hand to his head, and felt something sticky. He glanced at his palm, blood. Whoever had hit him, had done it really hard. Catherine reached up, and probed gently at the wound, grimacing. "You need stitches, come on let's go." Nick supporting Grissom, who was really wobbly on his feet, followed Catherine, Sara bringing up the rear.
"I'm okay Catherine for the last time, I need to go to the office!" Grissom said heatedly as the group walked outside of the clinic. Grissom had eleven stitches in his head, and a "mild concussion". Catherine wanted him to go home and rest, but Grissom needed to go the office. Sara and Nick watched this argument with amusement, Catherine was acting like a mother hovering over her wounded child. "And that's it Catherine, remember who's boss around here." Catherine glowered at him, then said under her breath, "Fine you stubborn jackass!"
Grissom was sitting in the blessed silence of his office. His head was throbbing, although he wasn't about to admit that to anyone. He held his head in his hands for a moment, but hurriedly put them down when his office door opened. Catherine was standing there, and he groaned inwardly, "Catherine, I told you I don't need" Catherine cut him off, "There's been another murder Grissom, looks like your Untouchable guy again."
