Thanks for the reviews. As I said in the previous chapter I'm not trying to be evil so here is an update

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#

Back at the lab Grissom, Nick, Warrick and Sara were discussing possible motives and the evidence pointing to Mike Simons.

"He serviced the school's bus the morning it left for the camp. It has to be him"

"But why would he would he hurt Lindsey?"

"Look at it from a different point of view" suggested Nick, "If someone wanted to get back at Catherine, what is the one thing she cares most about? Lindsey"

"Who else was on the case?" Sara inquired

"Grissom" answered Warrick

"But why just target Catherine?"

The ringing of Grissom's cell phone stopped the conversation

"Grissom"

"Ah, Mr. Grissom. It's a pleasure to hear you again"

"Who is this"

"Now Mr. Grissom lets not lose our temper"

Something about the voice was making Grissom uneasy. "What do you want"

"Oh Mr. Grissom I have what I want" and the connection was broken.

Grissom hung up a feeling of unease rising.

"Gris, who..." Sara began but stopped when he stood up.

"He's done something to Catherine" and with that he left the room

"Gris, wait, are you going to tell us what is going on here?"

Grissom kept walking. "I'll tell you on the way". Now they had arrived at the car park, he located his car. "Get in"

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@



At Catherine's house...

Calm she thought must stay calm. What time is it? About 5 o'clock. They wouldn't be here for about 2 hours. Got to get my cell phone.

She tried but the movement of her arm caused painwaves to shoot through her body. Would she be able to last 2 hours?

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

Grissom was driving like a mad man. The CSI's exchanged looks with each other. It was Warrick who spoke up. "Grissom, are you going to tell us what the hell is going on here?"

"He called me"

Now they could understand. Mike had already got back at Catherine through Lindsey. Now he was getting back at Grissom through Catherine.

They arrived at Catherine's 5 minutes later. The door was unlocked. Grissom pushed it open.

"Cath..." He called "OK, Nick and Sara you look downstairs, Warrick, you and I will look upstairs."

They followed his instructions without a word and moved soundlessly to where they were supposed to be. After a few minutes Grissom found her. She was white as a ghost.

"Oh my god, Warrick, Sara, Nick. Get in here!"

There was a clatter on the stairs that sounded as if Sara had pushed Nick out of her way in her hurry as a few seconds later she stood framed in the doorway, Warrick and Nick behind her.

"Oh god. Cath" and went in to sit beside her

Warrick and Nick were on their cell phones presumably to the police and ambulance.

Sara grabbed a pillow off the bed and attempted to control the bleeding.

Catherine let out a gasp as pressure was applied.

"Gil..." she tried to talk but he silenced her

"I know it hurts but we have to stop the bleeding"

Now they could hear sirens in the background.

Catherine was beginning to feel sick. Her vision was going fuzzy, and again she was falling. Falling into darkness. She could hear Grissom's voice

"Stay with us Cath. Help will be here soon"

But she didn't know if she could last that long. Paramedics moved in to the room, Causing Grissom to move to give them room. She tried to tell him that she loved him, that he was her best friend, to thank him for being there for her. But even this was too hard. She gave into the darkness.

@#@#@#@#@#@#@

Grissom had just arrived at the hospital when he was approached by the nurse who'd thought Warrick was Catherine's fiancé.

"Mr. Grissom?" she inquired

"Yes" he wasn't really in the mood for talking. Nearly everything that was important to him had left. His tarantula had, as Lindsey had put it the day before she left for camp, carked it. Lindsey, who was like a daughter to him, was in a coma with a 30% chance of survival. And Catherine. His Catherine had been shot.

"Miss Willows is awake"

"Lindsey?"

"Yes, she woke up about 5 minutes ago. Was that Ms Willows brought into the ER a few minutes ago?"

"Yes it was, May I see Lindsey?"

"Yes, yes of course you can. Follow me" The nurse would have liked to know more but she knew better than to push the issue.

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@

When Grissom entered Lindsey's room she was sitting up in bed, propped up be numerous pillows. When he walked in she beamed at him.

"Hey Sunshine"

"Uncle Grissom!"

Her face fell as she looked behind him. "Where's Mummy?"

@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#

OK. Now you know Lindsey's not dead. I'm not as evil as you thought I was. But what about Catherine? Well review, review, review and you will find out. This time I'll make it 55-60 reviews before I continue.
