Catherine and Warrick sat in the layout room going over paperwork from the
bank heist. Nick had left a while ago and Sara had followed not too long
afterward. Warrick was sure that the pair were most likely together
somewhere. He chuckled at the thought. Catherine looked up at him with a
raised eyebrow, "You gonna let me in on the joke, Warrick?"
"Oh, I was just thinking about Nick and Sara and how subtle they're not being." Warrick grinned.
Catherine sat up straight in her chair and stretched. She smiled, "Yeah, how long have they been gone anyway?"
Warrick looked at his watch, "Oh, I'd say about 25 minutes."
"We'll have to go look for them soon, I for one don't want to get stuck doing all this paperwork." She grinned.
Warrick's expression became more serious. "Hey, Cath, can I ask you something?"
She looked at him curiously, "Sure, doesn't mean I'll answer."
Warrick smiled, "I was just wondering how you're doing. Sam Braun being involved and all. I know you're close to the guy."
Catherine exhaled, and said, "Closer than you know."
Warrick's face looked curious, "Anything you want to share?"
Catherine looked at him and smiled, "Do you want to know how I knew Sam Braun was responsible for the girl's killing?"
Warrick nodded, his curiosity piqued.
"I had Greg run a DNA profile" She began.
"Didn't we already have a profile of the killer," Warrick inquired.
She gave him a glance that silenced his question, "I had him run a profile on me. I had seven ellials in common with the killer."
The information took a split second to sink into Warrick's consciousness. "Sam Braun is your father."
Catherine nodded. Tears threatened her eyes for a moment. She blinked them away. Warrick reached across the layout table and grabbed her hand in a comforting gesture, "I'm sorry, Cath."
She shook her head, "Don't be. It explains a lot. At least I know. I can't do anything about it or who he is."
Warrick nodded. He changed the subject, "You going to go see Grissom after shift?"
Catherine responded with a slight eye roll, "Someone's got to make sure he's following the doctor's orders." She gave him a wry grin.
Warrick just chuckled and nodded. The thought crossed his mind that perhaps neither Grissom nor Catherine could see that perhaps the two of them together just might make sense. He had never met anyone who could see through Grissom the way Catherine could. Nor had he ever know anyone to get Grissom to do what they wanted him to the way Catherine could. Warrick thought to himself, 'I think Grissom's met his match in more ways that one.'
Catherine interrupted his reverie, "I think we'd better go find Nick and Sara before someone from the day shift does."
Warrick chuckled. He and Catherine made their way out into the parking lot where they suspected they'd find Nick and Sara.
Sure enough, they found the pair still leaning up against the Tahoe sharing a passionate kiss. Nick's hands were under the back of Sara's shirt and Sara, who had managed to unbutton Nick's shirt, had her arms wrapped around his waist and was running her hands over his muscular back underneath his shirt.
Warrick and Catherine exchanged an amused glance. Warrick cleared his throat and then spoke when the two did not respond, "You two need to get a room."
Nick and Sara sprang apart, Nick's face turned red as he realized his shirt was hanging open.
"I'd wait till after shift though," Catherine commented and then headed back into the building.
"Oh, I was just thinking about Nick and Sara and how subtle they're not being." Warrick grinned.
Catherine sat up straight in her chair and stretched. She smiled, "Yeah, how long have they been gone anyway?"
