Gil walked into the lab an hour after shift had started.
"Hey Grissom" Warrick called to him "What are you doing here? You should be with Lindsey" Warrick reached Gil and continued walking with him towards his office. After entering his office Gil sat down at his desk with Warrick across from him. "Grissom?"
Gil was broke from his daze. "Lindsey is with Catherine's" Gil paused trying to be careful not to use her name knowing how upset Warrick was ".. She is with her aunt. She was pretty devastated and I thought it would be best if she stayed with her family and not me… Besides I have funeral arrangements I told Catherine's sister I would take care of so I just came to get some things from my desk."
Gil stood p from his desk after rummaging through it. "Grissom? How are you holding up?" Warrick asked with concern. " I know how much you loved her and.." Gil cut him off
"I will be fine Warrick." he smiled and walked from his office " Let me know when you guys have a suspect, I really would like to face him."
Warrick stood up and walked out with Gil "I know you thought that I would be good for this case Gris but I." Warrick began but Gil cut him off once more.
"Warrick I asked you to take over this because your a great CSI and you cared for Catherine greatly, she would want one of the best working her case. Trust me on that one."
Warrick eyes began to tear. " I miss her so much and she's only been gone a day. How am I going to be able to work here after this?" Gil turned to him with concern "Warrick what do you mean?"
"This will be my last case Gil" he sighed " I can't work here like this, knowing that she, that Cath was hurt so bad by the same scum we try and put in jail everyday. I just don't see what the point is anymore"
Gil put a hand on Warricks shoulder "You can't quit Warrick"
Warrick made a face at Gil " Life is far to short Gil, I think that Cath's death proves that and I just… I have to do this. My letter of resignation will be on your desk after the case is solved" With that Warrick walked away from Gil and out of sight.
