"Must be anticipating a busy night," Nick quipped as he and Sara walked down the hallway side by side.
"You think?" Sara asked, as Warrick joined them.
"Hey guys," Warrick said. "Isn't it Catherine's night off? I wonder what her car's doing here."
Nick gave Sara a pointed look.
"Oh, I see what you're getting at," Sara replied. Then she said to Warrick, "Grissom must know something we don't about what kind of crime night it's going to be."
"Or maybe he was just lonely," Nick shrugged.
"Or maybe there's actually something important going on," Greg chimed in, joining the group. "Brass said he needs to talk to all of us in the break room."
As the group made their way into the break room, Nick was the first to notice Catherine perched on one of the counters.
"Hey Cath, you know the reason for this powwow?" Nick asked cheerfully. Catherine managed to nod weakly in response, which caused Nick's expression to change. "What's going on?"
"Now that everyone is here, I may as well explain," Brass replied entering the break room. "Catherine has been promoted to supervisor."
"Congratulations!" Sara exclaimed. "It sucks losing you to the dayshift, but you're a definite improvement over Ecklie."
At Catherine's cold stare, Sara turned to the others, "Did I say something wrong?"
"I'm not taking Ecklie's job," Catherine replied softly.
"Then whose...?" Sara began to ask. Then suddenly she realized that there was one member of their team absent from this meeting.
"But where did he go? And is he coming back?" Nick asked, as the pieces slowly began to fall into place.
Brass shook his head, "He didn't say on either account. I wish I had more answers for you, but I don't. For right now, I am as confused as you about this whole thing, but someone has to take over for the time being."
"Well Catherine's definitely the woman for the job," Warrick said, offering her a smile of support.
"I'm sorry to be the one to have to tell you guys," Brass said, echoing his earlier conversation with Catherine as he left the room.
"So Catherine, seriously what is going on?" Sara asked trying to get to the bottom of things.
"Sara, I know you have some lovely little notion Grissom and I tell each other everything, and that right now I know exactly where he is and why he left. Well, I hate to tell you this, but we don't, I don't, and that's all there is to it," Catherine snapped, storming out of the break room. "If you need me I'll be in Grissom's-I mean my-I mean I'll be in the damned office."
