Chapter 19
Grissom is taken by surprise at Catherine's response. He looks back and forth between Sara and Catherine, trying to figure a way out of the apparent awkward situation.
"I, uh, well, uh, gee. It's not what it looks like. I was just checking Sara's ribs after she nearly passed out standing up." Grissom stammered.
"I was just kidding Gris, just trying to lighten the mood a little. You know, get a room, ha ha?" Catherine commented.
"Get a room, I wish" Sara murmured.
Grissom turned back to Sara with a quizzical look on his face as if to say 'did I just hear what I thought I heard?"
"Shit" Sara says mentally. "He heard me." Quickly changing the subject, "Do you need any help Catherine? Do you have everything?"
"I think I've got it all. Hopefully I won't need more than a couple days worth of things. I called the neighbors and they want to stay out camping another week and said Lindsay was having a blast. At least I don't have to worry about her during all this."
"Everything will be fine you two" Gris said to try and encourage himself as much as the girls. "Let's get going."
In the Tahoe the three CSI's are silent as they each contemplate Eddie's next move, each knowing the next attack will be truly violent and horrifying.
Breaking the silence, "Maybe we should stay at my place. I mean, it would be logical and obvious that you would take Catherine to your place, Gris. Maybe if we were at my place we'd be safer."
"Good point Sara." Catherine says. "I'm sure he was watching as that guy tackled you Sara. He knows Grissom has been around. I think the first place he would look would be your place Gris."
"Point taken" was all he said as he turned the Tahoe around to head to Sara's.
Sara was lost in observation as they arrived moments later at her building. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. No strange cars, no strange people lurking about. As they reach her front door, Sara notices a piece of paper sticking out from her mail slot. Taking it by the corner, she opens it carefully. Grissom and Catherine stand in silence, anxiety keeping their breathing captive.
