Catherine entered Grissom's office and sat down beside Warrick.
"Warrick, Sara and I will work on this case so the both of you will be able to have time off." Grissom said.
"What!" Catherine protested.
"You can't work on this case. Your emotions might get the best of you." Grissom said.
"She's my daughter! I have the right to! Did you even see what he did to her?! He raped her! He scarred her for life!" Catherine shouted.
"Catherine's right! And why can't I work on the case?!" Nick shouted.
"The both of you are too close to her." Grissom said calmly.
"How can you be so calm about this? There is a fifteen year old girl who has been scarred and I can't do anything to help her! The least I can do is find out who did this!" Catherine shouted.
"You are not working on this case, Catherine." Grissom said firmly. Catherine glared at him her piercing blue eyes full of fury. Catherine stood up and stormed out of the room.
A week later.
Sarah was sitting on her hospital bed wearing sneakers, denim jeans and a baby blue tank top while her hair hung freely; her baby blue back pack was lying on the floor beside her holding clean clothes, underwear and a few other things inside. Catherine and Nick entered the room.
"Come on honey." Catherine said as she sat down beside Sarah. Nick picked up her bag and smiled at Sarah.
"Mom, where are we going?" Sarah asked softly as her hair fell by the side of her face.
"We're going to stay with Nick first, okay?" Catherine asked as she tucked the hair back behind Sarah's ear. Sarah nodded and stood up before she followed Nick and Catherine out of the hospital room.
Sarah and Catherine followed Nick into a white homey looking house. They followed Nick up the stairs and into a room.
"Sarah, you can stay here. Your mom will be in the room beside you and I'll be at the end of the hall." Nick said. Sarah nodded and sat down on the bed. Nick put down Sarah's bag and smiled at her before he and Catherine left the room.
At the middle of the night Catherine was waken up by an ear splitting scream. She grabbed her robe and ran towards Sarah's room to see Sarah tossing and turning. She rushed to Sarah's side and soon Nick entered the room.
"No1 Please stop it! No!" Sarah shouted as tears fell down her face. Catherine held her tight.
"It's okay. I'm here." Catherine soothed, after a while Sarah stopped crying and fell into a peaceful sleep. Nick carried Sarah off Catherine's lap and laid her on her bed before he and Catherine left.
The next day Sarah was waken up by the smell of bacon and eggs. She sat up and changed into denim hip huggers, sneakers and an aqua tank top. She came down the stairs and into the kitchen to see Catherine and Nick eating.
"Hey. Did you sleep well?" Nick asked.
"Pretty much." Sarah replied as she sat down beside Catherine.
"You want to come with us to the lab?" Catherine asked.
"What about school?" Sarah asked.
"You won't be going to school until we figure out who's responsible for what happened." Catherine said softly.
"Oh." Sarah said.
"So do you want to come?" Nick asked.
"Sure." Sarah said as she nodded.
"Great." Nick said with a smile.
Catherine and Nick entered the lab with Sarah behind them
"Hey." Warrick greeted as he spotted them.
"What have we got?" Nick asked as he sat down on a chair.
"Well it's still break time, we have." Sara trailed off as she looked for a watch.
"Twenty minutes." Warrick said as he looked up from his watch.
"How's it going?" Warrick asked Sarah.
"Fine." Sarah said as she gave him a smile.
"I'll just get a coffee." Catherine said. Sarah nodded and Catherine left.
"Sarah, Officer Jim Brass needs to speak to you." Grissom said as he entered the room. Sarah paled a bit.
"Me?" she asked nervously.
"Yes. I'll show you the way." Grissom said, Sarah stood up and followed him.
"Where's Sarah?" Catherine asked as she entered the room carrying a cup of coffee a few minutes later.
"She's being questioned." Warrick said.
"What! He can't question her! She's not ready." Catherine said before she left the room.
Catherine found Sarah ready to break down any moment as Brass questioned her.
"Can you tell me how he looked like?" Brass asked.
"Look! I don't know how he looked like! I didn't see his face!" Sarah shouted as she finally burst out crying she stood up and ran out of the room. Catherine ran after her.

"She's my daughter! I have the right to! Did you even see what he did to her?! He raped her! He scarred her for life!" Catherine shouted.
"Catherine's right! And why can't I work on the case?!" Nick shouted.
"The both of you are too close to her." Grissom said calmly.
"How can you be so calm about this? There is a fifteen year old girl who has been scarred and I can't do anything to help her! The least I can do is find out who did this!" Catherine shouted.
