This is my "alternate ending" for "Bloodlines"
I do not own these characters or the show
This starts after the part in the episode "Bloodlines" when The CSI's find Linley Parkers body.
"What do you mean you let him go? He raped me I saw his face, I saw him"
The conversation that Catherine had with Linley Parker that afternoon echoed in her mind as she sat in the break room with Grissom,
"We should have done something more to protect her, she be alive if we had"
Grissom put his arm on her shoulder "we are CSI's, not witness protection agents, there was nothing that we could do for her"
Catherine sighed, " I know but I can't help but feel responsible for her death"
"You know it was not your fault Cath" He responded, " The evidence is right there and it does not fit,"
"You should go home get some rest, we will figure this out tomorrow" Grissom added
Catherine shook her head, "yeah, I will see you tomorrow"
"You going home too?" Catherine looked at Grissom.
"Yeah, soon, I just want to review the evidence again, then I will call it a night" Grissom smiled
Catherine smiled back and walked out of his office.
Catherine punched out, got her things and left the lab.
As she pulled out of the parking lot and turned into the street a blue SUV pulled out behind her.
