Thank you for the reviews. Sorry it took so long to update. Fan fiction has been very temperamental on me

Sara looked slightly taken a back but quickly composed her self.
"Of course not. She's just not feeling well"
But despite these reassurances Lindsey continued to sob and after ten minutes she had cried her self to sleep. Sara picked her up and quietly carried her back into her room and tucked her in. After a few minutes she appeared back in the kitchen.
"Griss? I have to get back to work. I'll come back after shift OK?"
Grissom merely nodded.
"Ok. See you" With that she gathered her things and headed to the door.
"Sara?"
She turned
"Thanks"

At the Lab...
When Sara arrived at the lab she found Nick and Warrick in the break room.
"Hey guys"
"Hey Sara," Came Nick's reply, "Where did you disappear to?"
"Grissom's. The hospital called. I had to look after Lindsey"
"So.."
"So what?"
"Don't play dumb Sara. What did the hospital say?"
She told them and they sat in a stunned silence until Greg walked in a few minutes later.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
They all looked at each other. It was Warrick who spoke first.
"Catherine"
"She hasn't. Has she?"
"No she hasn't" He told Greg what had happened
"Man I don't envy Grissom's position now"
They sat in silence all deep in there own thoughts.
"Well I have some good news, depending on your point of view" Greg waited for a response to these words. When there wasn't any he continued looking slightly disappointed.
"We've traced the bullet" This caused a flow of questions from Sara, Warrick and Nick. But Greg held up a hand to stop them.
"Yes it is licensed to him. Yes his fingerprints are on the bullet. No we don't know how he got it. No we don't know where he is."
Warrick and Nick slumped back looking disappointed but Sara's face showed hope.
"But that's enough for a warrant"
"Yeah Sara but.."
"But nothing" Sara was feeling more optimistic and nothing was going to blow her mood.
They spent the rest of the shift, processing Catherine's clothes as well evidence found at the scene
"Hey guys" Warrick yawned, "I think we should head home. We won't be much use tomorrow if we can't stay a wake"
"Yeah I suppose you're right. Sara?"
"Yeah. I have to stop at Grissom's though"
"OK. Well see you tomorrow"
"Yep. See ya"

When Sara arrived at Grissom's house a couple of minutes later she was surprised to see that when she knocked the pressure caused the door to swing open.
"Grissom?" she called uncertainly. She walked down the all to the living room where she found him on the couch with an empty bottle of alcohol in this hand. "Shit Grissom" she said under her breath but her thoughts where interrupted by a child crying. "Lindsey..."
She continued to walk down the hall to Lindsey's room, where she found her in a ball under the doona.
"Lindsey, honey, it's all right. I'm here. What's wrong?"
"Daddy..." Lindsey said but it was enough for it to click. Eddie would come home drunk and hit Catherine.
"Lindsey", Sara said quietly, "pack some stuff. You can come home with me"
Sara walked out of the room fuming. She entered the living room and came face to face with Grissom
"How could you" she hissed and without being able to control her emotions she raised a hand and slapped him across the face. "I'll bring her back when you're sober" she stated before exiting the room. "Lindsey, honey, come on".
Lindsey appeared wearing a backpack and holding a teddy bear. Sara held out a hand and Lindsey took it and together they left the house.
