Love is everything
- Catherine, I want to talk to you. During these last years of us working together we have gotten very close to each other. I would say that our relationship has developed into this very close to intimate thing. I know that our professionalism has stood in the way for its further development. However, during these last couple of days I have come to the conclusion that life is just to short to ignore my true feelings for you. Seeing you in the state that you have been in lately has torn my heart into a million pieces and this has made me realise that I have to live life a little more. Live my life with you. I mean if you want it too? I guess what I'm trying to say is that I love you. I love you Catherine. So very much. I don't care about the rules and regulations; all I care about is you, Grissom watched as tears trickled down Catherine's cheeks.
Catherine felt so incredibly happy and relieved at that very moment. Grissom loved her and not in the I- just-have-to-because-you-are-my-friend- and-close- colleague-way. He really loved her. And she had loved him for years.
- I love you too Gil. For so long I have been searching for my soul mate. Someone who knew me, understood me, respected me, loved me and who would be there for me. I think I must have loved you all along, I mean I know I have loved you all along. Being married to Eddie made me realise that still hadn't found true love. Lindsey was the only good thing to come out of that. And through all that time you were there for me. You helped me, listened to me, understood me and care for Lindsey and me. I knew I loved you just the same but something told me not to cross that fine line between friendship and more than just friendship, Catherine said.
Grissom felt the tears well in his eyes. The fact that Catherine felt the exact same way filled him with such happiness and joy. His hands came up to cup Catherine's face. Her hands went around his neck and their lips met in a sensational kiss as her pulled her into his embrace. The kissing went on until they heard a tap on the door. They pulled away as Terri walked in.
- I just wanted to know if you were read... she paused as she saw the two flushed faces in front of her. She smiled and turned to walk out as Catherine rose and came to her.
- Terri, I'm ready but why don't we just stay here and talk, she said.
- If that's what you're most comfortable with then let's do that, Terri said and smiled at Grissom.
Catherine felt a small pang of jealousy. She knew in her heart that Grissom loved her and only her. But her mind told to her watch out for further pain.
- So where do you two know each other from, she asked trying to sound indifferent but knew she was failing miserably.
Grissom looked at her with a slight surprise in his eyes but smiled as he realised that she was still a little guarded. Terri knew that Catherine would probably see her as the enemy in regards of Grissom
- Catherine I can assure you that I am not going after your man. In fact I don't go after any man if you get meaning? We are only good friends, by the way I just got married, Terri said with a smile.
- Oh I'm sorry then, Catherine said not without embarrassment. She felt Grissom's hand slide into hers giving it a slight squeeze.
- I am really sorry but I have to go now, I promised to pick up my sisters two children from school today. Why don't I meet you back here tomorrow morning and I promise we'll get started Catherine Terri said in a more serious tone.
Catherine gave her a small nod, realising that there was still a long way to go. The fact she and Grissom had opened up to each other and finally admitted their feelings somehow made everything to come more surmountable.
As the door closed behind Terri Grissom turned to face her again.
- I love you so much, and even though I know things won't be easy for you in the near future I want you to know I will be there for you every step of the way, okay, he said.
I love you too, and Gill, thank you, she said tears again forming in her eyes.
They left the office together but promised to meet up at his house after she had picked up Lindsey and he had gone to get the info on how her case was progressing. He knew she would have to testify tomorrow and he dreaded what effect that would have on her.

- Hey Grissom I think I've got something here, Nick said as he watched Catherine walk out the front doors of the lab, - Ok, so this Peter Jacobs, who Catherine meet during the closing of her last case could also be known as Paul Jackson. He worked as a pr. assistant in the company of the crime. The secretary killed the president of the firm. A classic case of lust and jealousy. Moving on to the case. His last known address was a warehouse on 7th street without any habitable signs what so ever. This Paul Jackson drives a red Nissan but the black car he drove on the night in question was a rental. He rented the black Toyota Corolla at Anderson's, a car rental service downtown at 18.04 pm. and he delivered the car back the same night at 22.30.pm. An unusually short amount of time. He paid the clerk in cash...
- Nick, just tell me that you found him, Grissom interrupted Nick.
- The company in which he used to work he also goes by the name Peter Jacobs. We managed to get to his real name and address by cross-referencing the license plate and registration with this other address, which we found on this mail sent to the police during the firm case with all the names and contact addresses for the people working on the 6th floor in the company building. Sara was out all last night on surveillance but he never entered the building. I just got the search warrant and I'm on my way as soon as I leave from here. Grissom I promise you we'll get to him, Nick said with determination.
Grissom gave Nick a pad on the shoulder and watched him run towards the parking space. He turned and started walking back to his office when Warrick caught up with him.
- Hey boss, we found the two low life..., he stopped himself, I mean we located the two. They are brothers. Martin and Michael Johnson. The dark blue Volkswagen van they drove has been picked up south of LV. They tried to burn it down but the police patrol, which found it thinks it's ready for the lab technicians to work on it. The Johnson's took the last flight out to Santa Monica this afternoon. I already talked to the local police. They will be picking them up as soon as they set foot on the ground, Warrick ended.
- Thank you, Grissom silently said. He gave Warrick a small hug and continued, - I should go to Santa Monica right now then.
He turned to go pack his things as Warrick grabbed him by the arm.
- No, go home to Catherine. She needs you Grissom. Anyway I'm pretty sure Brass isn't letting you anywhere near any of these guys. Catherine should be your first priority now. Let us deal with these low lives and I promise you we will get them, Warrick said with a determined look.
Grissom felt the anger and rage inside him like a fire just waiting to explode but he knew Warrick was right and he suddenly remembered he had to meet Catherine and Lindsey. He turned to walk to the parking space where he got into his car and drove towards his house.
Seeing Catherine with Lindsey in the garden outside his house made feel a lot better. They both meant the world to him. The fact that he hadn't been there to protect Catherine once again tore his heart to pieces. He was going to get this Peter Jacobs and not getting involved with the interview was one thing. To kill him was another...
