Chapter three – (Reasons)
Catherine woke up in a daze, not knowing where she was. She moved and felt the restraints trapping her hands behind her back. That was when she remembered what had happened to her. She looked around at her surroundings in an attempt to find out where she was. The room was pretty basic – an attic type room she guessed. The only furniture was the bed she was on. She squinted to get a good look at the view from the single, small window that was in the room. In the distance she could see the sky tower – a familiar landmark. She was still in Vegas. Thank god she thought to herself. Suddenly a voice broke her thoughts,
'Awake now are we Ms Willows?' said the man that she assumed had abducted her.
'Looks like it doesn't it?' she replied. The remark was answered with a slap. Catherine was knocked backwards by the force of the blow.
'Don't be smart with me Catherine' said the man, 'You don't know who you're dealing with'. Catherine could feel her face throbbing where he had hit her and she winced.
'Who are you?' she asked. The man laughed,
'You'll know soon enough'.
'Then tell me why I'm here' cried Catherine.
'I've got issues with some of your male colleagues' he said.
'And what does that have to do with me?' asked Catherine, confused.
'Well, let's just say that Gil Grissom will suffer much more than anyone else because you're missing'. The man smirked and Catherine could see the evil in his eyes.
'What do you mean?' she asked.
'I mean that our friend Gil cares for you a lot more than you know Catherine...and I suspect you feel the same for him'. Catherine snapped,
'You don't know what the hell you're talking about!' she shouted, 'and he's not your friend you sick bastard!' The man grabbed her by the throat and pushed her onto the bed, choking her.
'Shhhh now Catherine...you don't want to make me angry, do you?' he let go and Catherine sat up, gasping for air.
'Now Catherine, I think you and I should have a little fun...you know, show Grissom what he's been missing...' He started to unbutton his jeans, smiling all the time. Realisation showed in Catherine's eyes.
'No...no, you can't do this, please don't, you can't!' she pleaded, trying to back away from him.
'That's where you're wrong Catherine, I can do this and I will' he told her calmly. Catherine closed her eyes and prayed that she would wake up from this nightmare.
'Open your eyes Catherine' the man instructed, untying her hands. 'Now this can be easy or difficult for you, depends on if you resist or not'. He stroked her face and she flinched, he looked angry.
'Looks like it's going to be the hard way then', he grabbed her wrists and moved on top of her. For the first time, Catherine screamed.
