Catherine sat huddled in the corner. Her knees against her chest her head against the wall.

Tears streamed down the side of her face and onto the floor.

She was scared; she had never felt this scared before.

She did not know if Lindsey had made it. She did not know if Rich had grabbed her before she could make it outside. She imagined the horrible things that could be happening to her little girl.

The things that almost happened to her before Lindsey ran off. What if? She thought. "What if Lindsey had not run" Catherine new what would have happened if

Lindsey did not run when she did. She just hoped that she was okay.

Catherine's eyes were heavy she wanted to close them but she was afraid she would never wake up.

She stood up from her corner and walked over to the door and jiggled the handle.

Rich entered the room and Catherine backed away from the door.

"You're little bitch of a daughter got away, it is not safe for us to stay here." He grabbed Catherine. " Do you have any idea how lucky you are? He smiled and licked his lips "at least Lindsey won't have to see this."

He walked toward Catherine.

Catherine backed up until she was against the wall.

"Please Rich I will do anything, but please don't you don't have to do that"

Catherine, I have wanted to do this for quite some time. You know I have been watching you since Eddie got out of the game. I am sorry by the way; about Eddie's death he so did not want to die. When I looked into his eyes and pulled that trigger. He knew he had lost, he knew it was over. He begged me not to come after you, I laughed at him and told him in detail all the things I plan to do to you." He pushed her against the wall and kissed her.

Catherine jerked her head away

He pulled her head back and kissed her again forcing his tongue into her mouth. She could taste the alcohol and smoke on him and it made her sick to her stomach. Catherine wanted him off of her and she bit down.

Rich grabbed his mouth fell to the floor

Catherine stepped over him and ran.

"Get back here, get back here you bitch, I am going to kill you,"

Catherine ran out of the room. The hallway she was in was dark and she did not see the staircase she had come down when she first arrived.

Catherine did not know where she was going. She walked down the hall feeling her way until she came to a door she pushed and she pulled.

Catherine turned back and was going to find another way out when the hall light went on and rich stood facing her at the other end of the hall.

He laughed

"You bitch, you have no idea how much trouble you are in"

Catherine turned back and slammed the door; she kicked the door over and over until she heard the wood snap and the door swung open. Catherine turned to see how close he was and then took off outside.

She could her him breathing and screaming behind her. She knew that if he caught up with her that her worst fears would definitely be coming true.

Catherine did not know where she was but she kept running. In the clear she spotted and small cabin and a forest.

Catherine ran to the cabin. She ran inside the cabin and slammed the door. There was no lock on the door so she blocked the door with a cabinet that was beside the door.

Catherine ran through the cabin to find a way out. She walked into the back bedroom.

Catherine was shocked at the contents in the room.

Catherine looked around the room. There were pictures everywhere. Pictures of her and Lindsey and Grissom and Eddie, but mostly her.

Catherine had never seen anything quite disturbing and felt sick to her stomach once again.

Her concentration was broke when she heard Rich's voice getting closer.

She ran out of the room as Rich tried to push into the cabin door.

"I am going to get you, give it up there is nowhere for you to run to. Not out here baby"

Catherine ignored his warning as she ran out the back door and into the small wooded area.

Catherine ad been running into the forest for about a minute when she turned to se if Rich was still behind her.

She did not see him. Catherine stopped to catch her breath and figure out what to do next.

She kept on walking until she heard a branch snap and footsteps walking through brush. Catherine found a large hollowed out tree and hide between the openings. Catherine's body was trembling. She had never shivered like this before. Catherine closed her eyes.

"Catherine" a voice called out.

Catherine opened her eyes. That voice it was Grissom. She took a step forward and paused.

What if she had imagined that voice? And Rich was waiting for her to come out.

She stepped back into her hiding spot

"Catherine"

There was that voice again.

Catherine stayed in her hiding spot and responded

"Grissom?"

Catherine stepped out.

A hand fell down on her shoulder ad another wrapped around her neck.

"I told you I would get you"

Rich pulled out a knife and pressed it against Catherine's throat"

He whispered in her ear.

"I am so glad Lindsey's was not here for this"

"Rich wait"

Rich spun around still hold onto Catherine.

"Ah Grissom, you must be here for you're wife" He looked over Grissom's shoulder " And you brought friends well that was very nice of you."

"Let her go Rich"

"Why Grissom, Why should I let her go, she needs to know who is boss, she needs to know that no one says no to Rich Hamming." He started backing up with Catherine " You wan to know what I did to her Grissom, all the pain that I put your wife through? Ask your wife how good in bed I was, she cried I was that good"

Grissom walked closer

"Rich, put the knife down, we are all adults let's just talk this out"

Rich scoffed " I don't really want to work it out, what I want to do is slice her up. I know how much you will suffer without her."

Grissom took another step forward

Rich had had enough. He pressed the knife to her throat and sliced.

Catherine screamed and fell to the ground

"NO Rich" Grissom ran to Catherine

Rich turned to run and the police fired. Rich was shot over and over. He fell to the ground eyes wide open.

Rich was dead.

Grissom rolled Catherine over and put pressure on her neck.

"Catherine hang on, baby, hang on"

Catherine looked at Grissom; his voice sounded foggy to her and everything was going blurry.

Catherine gasped for air and everything went black.
