Grissom got off the phone with Brass and followed closely behind Kent.
He didn't try to hide the fact that he was behind Kent. He knew Kent was well
aware of his presence. He just hoped that Catherine and Sara would make it
out okay. Grissom could see the road block up ahead and watched as Kent's car
took a sharp turn to the left. He continued to follow Kent and soon Kent's car
was surrounded forcing him to stop.
Police officers were yelling for Kent to come out of his car with his
hands up. Kent refused to go down without a fight. He gripped his gun tightly
and glanced over at the females in his car. He pointed the gun to Catherine's
head. "Get out very slowly and open my door."
Catherine got out of the car and heard an officer yell "hold your fire."
She opened the door for Kent and he grabbed her arm. The gun was pointed
against her head before she even realized what was going on. He glanced at the
officers and than at Brass who had made his way to the officers. Grissom was
also standing there.
"Put your weapons down or I'll shoot her." He told them.
"Give up Kent, you're surrounded." Brass informed him.
"I swear, I'll kill her."
"Then what do you think we'll do? You've got two choices Kent, you can
either drop your weapon and give yourself up. Or you could refuse and we shoot
you. Your choice."
Kent thought about his options. He noticed the weapons that were trained
on him. He made the only logical choice he could at the time. He dropped
his gun.
"Good choice." Brass replied. A few officers made their way to Kent and
soon had his hands cuffed behind his back.
Catherine went running toward Grissom as soon as she realized it was
safe. Grissom held her tightly, refusing to let go. Tears were streaming down
Cath's face. "I thought I was going to die." She said.
"You're safe now." Grissom told her and kissed her forehead.
Sara made her way out of Kent's car. She also had tears streaming down
her cheeks. She smiled when she saw Grissom holding Catherine. She couldn't
wait to get home to see her husband and her daughter. She didn't won't to
bother the two love birds, so she walked toward Brass. He gave her a smile.
"Glad to see you're okay Sara."
"Me too. I just want to want to go home."
"I bet."
Grissom and Catherine made their way over to Sara and Brass. Grissom
gave Sara a hug. "Are you okay?" He asked.
"I will be."
"Grissom, why don't you take the ladies home to their children. I'm sure
they miss them." Brass replied.
"What about the statements?"
"They can wait."
Grissom smiled and led Catherine and Sara toward his car. Sara hopped in
the backseat and closed her eyes. She couldn't wait to hold her daughter.

Please let me know what you think! I'm sorry Nick, Warrick, and the girls
weren't in this chapter, but I promise they will be in the next one! Besides
Kent had to be stopped in order for them to go home.
