Grissom sat in his office waiting for Brass to call saying he had gotten he search warrant.
Grissom starred at his desk with his hands on his head.
He had waited this long to tell Catherine how he felt, he had taken his feelings for her for granted and now he might never see her gain.
"How could I have been so stupid" he thought to himself
He was so deep in thought that he almost missed the cell phone ringing.
"Grissom"
"Grissom, it's Brass I got it, it took me some we will say, begging but I got it, I am putting my ass on the line but I got it so meet me at the Coombs residence ASAP.

Coombs Residence
Grissom, Brass the entire night shift team and several other policemen stood on Todd Coombs front step.
Todd Coombs was waiting for them and answered the door quickly
"I knew you would be back, with a warrant you can search where ever you want but I don't know what your looking for." he paused and smirked at Grissom " I see your friend ahh Catherine the blonde she is not here again, is she sick?" he smiled and walked away from the team of CSI's I will be in the kitchen call me if you find what you are looking for I would love to know what it is.
Brass followed him into the kitchen as did Grissom and handed him the warrant
"We are looking for Catherine Willows she has been missing since this morning, she went missing in the same manner as Linley Parker was attacked and since you my friend were the prime suspect we thought we would start at the top of the scum bag list."
Brass grabbed the warrant back from him
"We will search every inch of this house" Brass and Grissom walked out of the kitchen and joined the search.
The team started at the top floor of the house and went through the entire house.
The came to the basement and began dusting for prints and searching the basement rooms.
Grissom and Brass got the key from Todd to open the furnace room door and walked in.
"Catherine" Grissom called
Grissom flicked on the light and stepped into the room
"I can feel it Brass, I know she is in here" Grissom started searching along the walls for any sign of a secret door.
Todd Coombs watched as Grissom and Brass searched the furnace room.
Catherine was startled by the voice calling her name and tried to make noise and move her body to let them know she was there. She could hear the footsteps right above her head and she could hear Grissom and Brass talking to Warrick and Sara.
She wanted to scream and kick up a storm but his restraints were working perfectly.
I'm here Grissom" she thought to herself " I m right here"
Grissom and Brass ended there search and left the furnace room
Catherine's heart broke into a thousand pieces. She was that close to being rescued. She was literally inches away from her friends and she was still lying in the floor tied up and bound.
The light went off and the door closed and so did Catherine's hopes.
