Grissom spent the whole day (overtime) night thinking about Catherine. He
missed her presents in the lab but he would never admit it. He decided to
ring Catherine to see how she was doing.
Grissom pressed Catherine's quick dial number on his cell (number 1 of
course)
It ringed twice then the line picked up
"Hello"
"Hey Cath, its Gill, Just calling to see how your doing in sunny Miami"
"Grissom?" Catherine said surprised to hear from him.
"You don't sound happy to hear from me" Grissom was worried, did he do
something wrong?
"Oh it's not that... Grissom?" Catherine decided to tell him that she was
staying over at Horatio's. "I've got some thing important to tell you"
"It's nothing bad is it? Is Lindsey okay?"
"Yeh she's fine... It's about who I'm staying with." Catherine paused "yes"
Grissom said urging her to continue
"I'm staying with Horatio Caine" she said quickly to try to get it over and
done with.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Grissom shouted
"I'm really sorry, it was a cheap and easy way, and Lindsey gets on well
with him." Catherine pleaded to try to get Grissom to understand.
"But you said you didn't like him" Grissom shouted "your sleeping with him
aren't you? He accused, he knew this wasn't true but he wanted Catherine to
confirm.
"WHAT?" Catherine asked "of course I'm not! I don't even like him, it's
just... I'm saving money at the moment" Catherine tried to explain
"What don't I pay you enough now? What on earth do you need to save for?"
"Your birthday present!" Catherine shouted accidentally
"Really?" Grissom's tone changed quickly
"Shit" Catherine said. It was supposed to be a surprise "I can't tell you
what it I, damn. I've already ruined the surprise"
"Aw... come on tell me" Grissom pleaded
"No I'm not telling you and that's the last I want to hear of it!"
Catherine disciplined
"Sorry. Anyway I just called to say hello and I hope you're enjoying your
holiday."
"Thank-you Grissom, I'll be back in about 5 weeks. How are you going
holding down the fort while your queens away" Catherine joked
"Its good, the new lab Tec seems to be doing fine."
"New lab Tec? Who is he?" Catherine was not informed that a new lab Tec was
employed
"SHE's July winters... I'm pretty sure she worked at the Miami lab for a
short time maybe you should ask around"
"That's sounds like a good idea, maybe I could get some dirt on her, thanks
gill" Catherine hung up.
