Chapter 15
As Sara is making breakfast, Grissom arrives looking very tired and worried.
"Hey Gris," Catherine said as he walked into the kitchen. "You don't look so good. Rough night?"
"You could say that" he said. Taking a seat at the table Sara handed him a plate and a cup of coffee.
"This looks harmless enough" he kidded Sara.
"What all happened last night" Sara asked.
"The same thing that always happens on a full moon. People go nuts, killing each other over the stupidest things. How about you two? Was it a quiet night?"
"Yea, just like always," Catherine said. "If he's anything like he used to be, I'll have one more night of peace before he comes after me again."
"We'll be ready for him Cath. Brass is going to put plain clothed officers hidden around the area. Any sign he's making trouble and they'll nab him. Besides, Sara will be here with you" he said looking at Sara. Sara saw a look from him she had never seen before. There was almost a look of fear for her in his eyes. Looking back at Catherine, "The both of you will be safe."
Grissom went to sleep on the couch while Catherine took a bath. He and Sara were going to sleep in shifts, just in case. Sara got Catherine back in bed and settled in then went to the living room and sat in the chair across from Grissom. Even though his rest was fitful, Sara could see calmness in him. It was the same calmness that he exuded when they were working a case, the same calmness he had for the surviving victims, the same calmness that kept everyone pretty much on an even keel even when they were ready to explode. She felt her cheek where he had kissed her the night before, wondering exactly what it meant. It was hard to tell with Grissom what things meant sometimes. She walked over and covered him with the blanket she had used earlier, then leaned over and kissed him on the forehead.
