Ecklie tapped the stearing wheel, "Come on everyone, smile... it's a happy day for us all!"
Nick just rolled his eyes and sighed, slumping back against the said of the vehicle. He looked over at Cath and frowned.
Catherine stared out of her window, her face showed the tears she tired to hold back... but failed. Knowing Lynsey was safer with Gil than with her at that time, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd see her again.
Ecklie smiled, "Come Cath, cheer up hunny,"
Catherine didn't even frown at Ecklie, she just simply stared at the open desert.
Nick crawled over to Cath and sat next to her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and whispering in her ear. "It'll be ok Cath... It'll be ok..." He pulled her into a gentle hug.
Catherine nodded.
Ecklie watched, "Listen to Nick... it'll be ok... I bet thats what that lovely Jan is telling Gil Grissom as he learns I killed his sister... ohh there's something about just saying that... it just, well it just makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside!"
"Ecklie... how sick and pathetic are you?!" Nick said, glaring up at the front seat.
"Ohh watch out Nicky boy is shouting his mouth off with insults! Ohh better hide... boy I'd shoot you know if Crane didn't have other ideas for you." Ecklie smiled in an evil way at Nick as he watched him by the rearview mirror.
Nick cringed slightly and turned back to Cath, sighing softly. He closed his eyes and leaned back against the side. If he was going to be stuck here for a while, he might as well get comfortable.
Catherine sneered at Ecklie, "Ecklie your just an insecure asshole who feels threatened by Gil and always will, HE will always have MY heart that you want, HE will always have the brains that you want, HE will always be a father to a little girl that you want... don't you understand.... this is all because of jealousy... need... a lust for being Gil. And Ecklie... you never will be, no matter what you do... you will never get his life."
Ecklie's anger rose, he stopped the van. Jumping out and opening the door where Catherine was, "You little bitch!" He slapped her face, "Nigel hold Nicky back!" Ecklie turned back to Catherine ready to do what he wanted to do... she was ready and bit his hand as it covered his mouth. "You silly.. ARGH! Nigel I need to go to the hospital..." Ecklie grabbed Cath throwing her to Nick.
Nigel jumped in the drivers side and pressed on the gas, heading for the hospital. "You sure there's nothing back there? What happened anyway?"
"That bitch bit me... it's damn deep... in the basement there are supplies, I'll grab bandges and shit, just go, I#m losing blood." Ecklie glared at Catherine as she held her face.
Nick turned Cath so she was facing him and brushed some of her hair out of her face. "You ok?" He asked as he tenderly touched the red area on her cheek.
Catherine nodded, "I'll be fine..." She hushed her tone, "Nick, everyone will be at the hospital..."
"I know... " Nick said.
"We need to do something..."
Nigel sped down the road, spotting the bright lights of Vegas up ahead. He took the turn off that would led them closest to the hospital. "We're almost there..."
"Good, Argh God this hursts, Catherine Willows, you WILL pay..." Ecklie moaned.
"But what... I dont want to try to escape and risk your life too.... I don't want what happened to Sara to happen to you...." Nick winced at the mention of Sara, not knowing how she was, if she was still alive.
"It's a risk we'll have to take... Nick, we both have to get out of here... I don't... I don't want to feel dirty when Gil touches me again in knowing Ecklie has.... I can't do that Nick... I just can't." Catherine said as tears formed at her eyes threatening to fall again.
"ok... ok...." Nick said, hugging Cath. "We'll try to get out of here as soon as we can.... and I'll make sure that Ecklie doesn't come near you... ok?"
Catherine nodded, "We need to tell them..."
Nick pulled back and looked at Cath. "tell them what?"
"That we'll be there, I don't know Nick... what will we do?" Catherine looked at him. Her heart ached, he didn't know if Sara was alive or dead... did Ecklie kill Sara? Or just Nick's spirit?
"I dunno... " Nick shook his head and looked back at Cath.
"Why are you both being so hush hush?" Ecklie asked noticing the two were whispering.
"We're just tired.... that's all" Nick answered
"Well shame for you!" He sneered.
"Ecklie.... we're here..." Nigel called back as he pulled around the hospital to the back entrance.
"Thank God..." Ecklie checked the area, "No one..."
Nick just rolled his eyes and sighed, slumping back against the said of the vehicle. He looked over at Cath and frowned.
Catherine stared out of her window, her face showed the tears she tired to hold back... but failed. Knowing Lynsey was safer with Gil than with her at that time, she couldn't help but wonder if she'd see her again.
