Catherine said nothing for awhile.
"Yes, since she was seven. Why?" Catherine managed to say.
"Follow me, she's asleep right now so I'll show you." Doc. Watson said before he lead then into a hospital room. They saw Michelle in the hospital gown. She was in a deep slumber with IV attached to her. He turned Michelle on her front and opened the back of her gown. Nick, Sara and Warrick gasped as they saw the faded scar that ran across her. Doc. Watson closed the back of the gown and turned her on her back once more.
"You can visit her tomorrow." Doc. Watson said. They all nodded and left the room a bit dazed from what they had just found out. They quietly headed back to the lab and sat down.
"Why didn't you tell us?" Nick said, finally breaking the silence.
"I, I, Michelle and I agreed that we wouldn't tell anyone about this." Catherine said.
"Well know that we know, I think that we have a right to know about it." Sara said.
"It's a long story." Catherine said.
"We have time." Warrick said.
"It all started after he started to get less pay and so he got drunk and took out his anger on me, my mom and Michelle. Michelle was seven and I was sixteen."
~Flashback~
Catherine's father entered the house with the smell of alcohol; he slammed the door shut behind him and stormed into Michelle's room. Michelle whimpered as she moved away from her father.
"No, daddy. Please." Michelle whimpered before he grabbed her and threw the on the floor and kicked her. Michelle screamed in pain as tears fell down her face. Catherine ran into the room and pulled her father away from Michelle.
"Dad! Stop it!" Catherine shouted.
"Don't tell me what to do!" he shouted, then he slammed Catherine to the wall and slapped her.
~End of Flashback~
"I left home when I was sixteen, I was stupid and I did everything I could to get away from the beatings, I came back after a few years but they were gone." Catherine finished.
"So you left your sister to be beaten by your dad?" Nick asked in disbelief. Catherine stayed silent.
"No wonder she stays out of your way." Nick hissed as he stood up fury showing in his eyes.
"Don't talk to her like that." Grissom hissed back as he stood up as well.
"She left her and she doesn't have the decency to tell us about her until she comes here!" Nick spat as he clenched his hands into fists.
"She admitted that what she did was wrong! Why can't you accept the fact that she's not perfect! Everyone's done something stupid and wrong in their life! Well this is hers and she was decent enough to admit it!" Grissom roared.
"I'm leaving." Nick growled before he grabbed his jacket and stormed out of the room slamming the door shut behind him. Catherine flinched at the sound, she closed her eyes not wanting to let the tears out.
"Cath, are you okay?" Grissom asked softly as he knelt down beside her.
"I have to go." Catherine said as she stood up, she walked out of the room leaving Grissom staring at her retreating figure.
"You love her don't you?" Warrick asked.
"Yah, I do." Grissom whispered as he closed his eyes.
"Don't let her go." Sara whispered, hurting herself with those simple words. She swallowed back her tears as she watched Grissom run after Catherine. When he was gone she felt a tear fall down her face, she wiped away and stood up.
"Hey are you okay?" Warrick asked. Sara had confided in him about her crush on Grissom.
"Yah, I'll be fine." Sara lied as she forced a smile on her face. She wouldn't cry, not here.
"Drive carefully." Warrick said.
"Thanks." Sara said before she walked out leaving Warrick alone. Warrick sighed and fixed his stuff before he left too.
