Catherine sat in the front seat of Grissom's car and listened to the silence. She wished that the events of the last few days were just a bad dream. She kept reliving the scene after she came to, over and over in her head.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@
At first from the looks on Grissom and Sara's faces, she thought Lindsey had died. But then Sara came in with the story:
When Lindsey had her first cardiac arrest her chances of surviving had dropped from 80% to between 65-70%. Her second cardiac arrest was more server. It had taken longer to revive her. The longer it took to revive her the more the survival rate dropped. Her chance of surviving was now at 30-40%.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
They drove to the hospital in silence. Nick, Warrick and Sara had gone back to the lab to finish processing the bus, Her sister had also gone home leaving Catherine alone with Grissom.
When they arrived they were escorted to Lindsey's room by a rather pompous nurse who told them that 5 minutes would be quite enough time. Catherine walked quietly over to the bed and sat down gently on the edge, while Grissom sat on the chair just behind her. He could not believe how delicate Lindsey looked like a porcelain doll. Catherine was holding Lindsey's hand and talking to her softly. Then nurse came in, can it have been five minutes already.
"I'm afraid you'll have to go now"
Reluctantly Catherine stood up. Grissom took her hand gently and led her out of the room.
"Ms Willows!" a younger nurse came running after her
"Yes?" the nurse was holding a pair of sunglasses
"Your fiancé left these behind when he was here earlier"
"Excuse me?"
At this point Grissom thought it was appropriate to end the conversation, "Thank you, she'll make sure he gets them". He hurried Catherine along, leaving a very baffled nurse behind.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
When they reached the car park Catherine thought it was appropriate to ask, "Grissom, what the hell is going on here?"
"That Ms Willows is something you should ask Mr. Brown and Ms Sidle"
"Really, Grissom, lets go to the lab, I've got see some people about a fiancé"
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
Catherine burst in to the break room 10 minutes later to find a shocked Sara, Warrick and Nick having coffee at the table. " Warrick. Sara. You've got some explaining to do"
Warrick and Sara shot pleading looks at Nick, who responded with "I was just..." when Grissom appeared in the doorway, "Nick, can you come with me" Nick heaved a sigh of relief and followed Grissom out of the room. Catherine's gaze returned to Warrick and Sara, "You two have a lot of explaining to do"
"Well, when you were out of it" began Warrick "I was sent to the hospital to find out some information and SARA told me to pretend to be your partner so I could get in to see Lindsey"
"Yeah, but I didn't tell you to become Cath's fiancé" came Sara's indignant reply
Eventually the whole story came out. "We're really sorry Cath" they finished
"Well, thanks for doing that for me guys"
"Is that it?" said Sara shocked
"You mean you're not going to kill us?" came Warrick's response
"Oh no" Said Catherine a smile forming, "something much worse"
"What?"
"Oh I don't know, come to my place for dinner tonight, I know you have the night off"
"you mean we have to eat your cooking?" Warrick inquired and immediately regretted it as Sara's now cold coffee had been poured unceremoniously over his head
"Thank you Sara"
"No problem Cath, See you at 7?"
"Sounds great"
Both women left leaving Warrick fuming on the couch
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
The two women left in search of Grissom and Nick and found them in Grissom's office. They knocked an entered.
"Cath do you know Mike Simons?" asked Nick
"Mike Simons, Mike Simons, um yes I think so not a friend. I think that was one of my cases a few years back. We were convinced it was murder but turned out manslaughter, Why"
"No reason"
"You think he's a suspect don't you"
"Never try and hid something from Catherine, Nick" came Grissom's reply
"sorry to break up this enlightening conversation, but Cath's invited us to dinner at her place, tonight at 7. Can you guys make it?"
Grissom and Nick both confirmed they could
"Great I'll see you guys then," said Catherine as she move to the door
@#@#@##@#@#@#@#@#@
God I'm tired thought Catherine as she opened her front door. She walked in and turned on the hall light. She thought she heard a movement from upstairs and drew out her gun, (which she was only carrying out of habit.) She walked up the stairs quietly and entered her room. Suddenly someone grabbed her pinning her arms to her side. She tried to scream but found a hand covering her mouth. O God she thought please help me. She could feel a gun pressed against her rips. Only then did she realize he was talking to her, "You're dead Catherine, just like your daughter, just like the other girl I killed. Not so smart are you manslaughter .ha. We'll see sorry I mean I'll see, you'll already be dead how Mr. Grissom reacts when he finds his darling Catherine dead in her room" with that he pulled the trigger and Catherine felt a searing pain in her back she couldn't breathe, she was falling. She hit the floor, the man was laughing, laughing at her she heard him run down the stairs and the front door slam. She could see blood pooling next to her onto the polished floorboards. She tried to get her cell phone she had to ring Gil, she had to get help, she had to get through it, for Lindsey.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@
A lot of you probably evil now and trying to kill of Catherine and Lindsey. But it is all part of my plan. She has a plan! You are probably thinking. You will find out more in the next chapter but until then please review. Now at my last count there were 42. I won't update until there is 48-55. Please update. I'm not trying to be evil
