"I guess that she hasn't." Mitch said as she swallowed the lump that
had formed in her throat, she felt her eyes water but she forced it back.
"So you two are related?" Warrick asked.
"She's my younger sister." Catherine said quietly.
"WHAT!" Sara, Nick and Warrick shouted out at the same time.
"Well you better believe it." Mitch said as she closed her eyes and held the tears that threatened to fall any minute.
"Oh, shifts over." Nick said as he glanced at the watch. Grissom entered the room carrying folders.
"Alright, Nick, Warrick and Michelle can work on the homicide case and Sara and Catherine are with me." Grissom said. Then they all split up.
Catherine entered the locker room to grab her things before she left when she saw Mitch sitting on the bench with her head in her hands, she saw a bottle of pills beside her. Catherine cautiously walked towards her.
"Hey are you okay?" Catherine asked as she sat down beside her.
"Why should you care." Mitch lashed out as she grabbed the bottle of pills and stood up.
"I'm your sister I have the right to care."
"You didn't seem to care when you left home, left me alone to be, to be used to let dad's anger out when he came home drunk huh?" Mitch said bitterly as she shoved the bottle of pills into her bag. Catherine sighed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know what else to do."
"So you just left me alone! To be beaten every day! So you wouldn't have to hear my screams as dad hit me until I fell unconscious? Is that why you left! So you could escape his beatings and let me be the one to take it for you?!" Mitch snarled.
"You know the only thing that kept me living was the thought that after two more years I would be on my own. I could leave just like how you left." Mitch finished as a tear fell from her eye.
"Michelle, please. I want us to start over. You're my sister and I want you to be a part of my life and I want to be a part of your life." Catherine said. Michelle laughed bitterly before she looked into Catherine's eyes.
"You know how many times people have told me that? Just to find out that they never meant it and they just hurt me again and again until there was nothing else to hurt. So why should you be different." Michelle asked harshly.
"Because I'm your sister."
"That doesn't mean anything. You've left me once so why can't you do it again?" Michelle said as she grabbed her bag, then she left the room.
