Confessions
He led her into his house and they went into the kitchen. He put the kettle on. This required something else than just plane coffee. Shortly after he handed her a cup of hot chocolate. She looked at him with gratitude. He only knew she loved hot chocolate. That was one of the things only he knew about her. She slowly began to speak bearing in mind that she was exposing herself and that there was no way back now.
- It's been two weeks this Friday. This guy, Peter Jacobs, I met during the closing of the last case I worked on asked me out. He said it would be kind of a blind date since we didn't really know each other, she took a deep breath and continued, I didn't feel like going because but he assured me that he would be the perfect gentleman and that his friend from work and his girlfriend would meet us at the restaurant. Stupidly I believed him. It has been a while since I've been on a date, her voice broke but when Grissom took her hand in his she continued, When we arrived at the restaurant they were nowhere in sight. Suddenly his cell phone rang and he told me that his friend had punctured on his way from his girlfriend's house to the restaurant. He wanted Peter to pick them up. I went along for the ride. I didn't want to be left at the restaurant. Could I possibly have been more stupid?
A tear slid down her cheek. He drew her close and they sat like that for a long time.

Sara and Nick were looking at the evidence a third time. It was hard for them to concentrate due to the events of the day.
- There must be something we are missing, Nick uttered without being aware of the fact that he spoke out loud.
- Yeah the only weird thing here are the pills, Sara asked realising that they had forgotten all about the tests results from later.
- Got it, Nick said climbing back from under the table. Contradictions as before and, no wait. This looks interesting. ' Dreamers' sleep medicine. Oh, those are very strong right?
- Yeah, I think they are very commonly used in hospitals. You know, to take the edge off. But what are they doing in these pills, she poured the pills into a small cup and they studied them closely.
At that moment Greg entered.
- Ok, just got the final results of the DNA. This couple was starting their own company, which would be producing sleep medicine. The contents of their stomachs matched with their blood profs that they had both been taking a considerable amount of pills. But unfortunately the combination of sleep medicine and the large amount of sedative similar remedies, antabuse and a considerable amount of alcohol turned the newly produced pill into a toxic mixture that eventually killed them in their sleep. The test results of the pill was due this week, just talked to the lab, they would have strictly forbidden the preparation. What a way to celebrate matrimony, huh guys, Greg said with a laugh. And by the way the reddish substance Catherine found was merely a bit of sun block.
The mention of Catherine left the air thick with sympathy and worry. The three split up to go home. It had been a long day.
-----------------------
They had moved into the living room. He held her hand, wiped away her tears and stroke her hair gently as she revealed all that had happened. He ought to feel her pain but all he felt was anger. A growing rage against those who had harmed her so.
- When we arrived at the car, which was somewhere near a small growth a man stepped out wearing sunglasses. I wondered why because the sky was thick with heavy clouds but didn't think more of it. The two men talked briefly I don't know what they were talking about because I was looking for the girl friend. When I couldn't see her I asked Peter where she was. He just looked at me and told me to be good. I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable and then he coldly introduced me to Mr. Med. my blind date for the evening. I knew things were really getting out of hand so I began running towards Peter's car but another man came and held me down while Peter got into his car and drove away. How could I ever be so stupid?
She was shaking and Grissom did his best not to hug her to tight when he pulled her into his arms. She clung to him crying silently for a while.
- Only one of the men ra... ra...raped me, she quietly stated. The other one held me down, hence the bruises.
He thought of the scratch on her breast but decided she would tell him in time.
- They just left me in there, she said, I must have passed out, I woke when the birds started singing and the sun was rising. I...
- Why didn't you call me, he asked the hurt and disappointment right under the surface of his question.
- I just felt so humiliated and stupid, I'm sorry I know I should have. I just didn't want you to see me like that. I called a cab and got to the hospital. I know the procedure, she said more frigidly than planned.
- What about reporting this, he asked being overwhelmed by the strength she possessed. She nodded.
- The police are working on the case. I told them not to contact any of you or call me at work. I told Melissa and that's why Lindsey is with Janet all the time. I don't want her to see me like this, not after all those time she saw her mother on the floor with bruises from the beatings Eddie gave me.
- You are incredible, he told her, the tone in his voice was becoming sterner, - I wanted you to tell me this. I wanted to be there by your side in the hospital and to be there for you these past weeks. You are too damn stubborn to realise that we all love for you, I love you, he corrected himself.
She looked at him. She smiled at him. He pulled her close and held her until she fell asleep. He gently lifted her up and carried her to her bed. He lay down besides her. The sound of her breathing somehow soothed him. Hours later he got up. He called the lab and filled Greg in on the principal lines Catherine's story. He heard to other end of the line grow silent and hung up. Called the police and was filled in on the latest.
After a couple of pass ons he got the police commissioner on the end of the line
- Mrs. Willows has made a fairly good statement and description of the two rapists. The DNA of the one rapist is being processed as we speak. The DNA from the other rapist from under your wife's nails had no match in our system, I'm sorry. Additionally, the Peter Jacobs she described seems to be nonexistent. I'm sorry Mr. Willows but the ...
- That is just not good enough, Grissom almost shouted in to the phone, I will be down shortly and then the CSI team will take over from here. I don't care if you can't do that, that's the way it will be. DNA samples can be analysed within 24 if they are fresh and you know it. It's been two weeks. And...
Catherine suddenly stood besides him placing a hand on his arm signalling that he should end the call.
- I am not through with you, he ended.
He pulled her into his embrace and they stood there for a while before she drew back and went to the bathroom. He heard the shower being turned on and lay back on the bed. She came back from her shower and looked at Grissom who was asleep. She went to the mirror and drew back her towel so the scratch was exposed to the mirror. She closed the towel. Turning to get dressed she saw that Grissom was watching her. She went to him and sat down on the bed.
- Guess you also want to hear how I got this one, she look down.
He lifted her head with his hand and looked into her eyes.
- When you are ready to tell me. You have had a rough night just take your time.
She looked thankfully at him, leaned forward and gave him a light kiss on the mouth then rose to get dressed in the bathroom.

That's it for now. I know that it sounds like I don't have all these loose ends under control and I don't!!!- Well, not entirely but I promise I will soon... and don't, worry nothing is what it seems. The drama and romance will continue a.s.a.p. But it's up to you. Tell me what you think ok? Thank you for making it this far! Hope to see you back soon. This writing thing could get me quite addicted I'm sure... used almost my entire day on those two first chapters. Call me crazy, but it's quite meditating for me.....Take Care K.
