Marcus rushed over to Catherine and pushed her toward the bed.
"Sit down" he yelled. Catherine sat down on the bed with Gil and Lindsey who automatically jumped into her arms.
"Mommy, are you okay?" Lindsey hugged her mother " Is this the man that hurt you?"
Catherine shook her head at Lindsey for her to stop talking but Marcus decided to do it for her.
Marcus walked over to the two and pulled Lindsey out of her mother's arms.
"Mommy?" Lindsey yelled as Marcus dragged her toward the bathroom. Catherine and Gil both jumped up and ran toward him. Marcus pulled Lindsey close to him and pointed the gun at her.
"Wait" Catherine yelled " Please don't hurt her she is just a kid"
"Sit back down.. Both of you" Marcus barked tightening his grip on Lindsey. " Go"
The two sat back down and Marcus continued toward the bathroom pushing Lindsey inside
"After propping a small chair between the floor and the door knob. Marcus focused his attention back on Catherine and Gil.
"So" he smiled " You thought you could fool me?" He reached out and pulled Catherine off the bed she was sitting on. Gil stood up and pulled Catherine back. " Don't touch her, you have done enough"
Marcus smiled " that's right, but you must know that when I made love to her, I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be that great." Marcus stood up and with the but of his gun hit Gil across the face. " Keep your mouth shut, don't speak until I address you or tell you it is okay to."
Marcus turned and focused back to Catherine " You miss me?"
Catherine did not answer him or even look in his direction trying not to show the fear in her eyes.
"You will answer me when I talk to you" Marcus slapped Catherine across the face.
A look of hatred came across Gil's face as he jumped up and tackled Marcus to the ground wrestling for the gun the two rolled around.
Catherine got off the bed and raced toward the bathroom door to get Lindsey. After pushing Lindsey to the hallway Catherine ran back into the room and jumped on Marcus who had pinned Gil and was punching him repeatedly.
"Leave him alone" Catherine yelled as she pounded Marcus in the back. Marcus snapped backward and flung Catherine too the ground. After hitting her head on the corner of the dresser Catherine tried to stand up but she was far to light headed to move.
Marcus stood up and grabbed his gun as he watched Gil struggle to get to his feet he pointer the gun in his direction. "Well Gil, this is it" he smiled
At that very moment the door flew open and Brass fired two shots. Both shots hit Marcus and he fell to the ground at Grissom's feet. Gil ran to Catherine and tried to help her up.
"Catherine? Cath are you okay?" Catherine sat up slowly " Yeah Gil" she put hand on her head I am fine. Lindsey, I told her to go.."
"Mommy" Lindsey ran into the room and hugged her mom. " You're okay. Mommy I was so scared"
Gil, Catherine and Lindsey walked out of the hotel room and down to the ambulance.
Warrick walked up to Catherine as she sat in the back of the ambulance
"Warrick" she began to speak when he cut her off
"It's cool Cath, I realize that you and Gil had to do what you had to do and I respect that. Part of me all along knew something was not right but I guess I just did not really want to believe that the team and I had lost you."
Catherine smiled at him as Nick and Sara walked up to her.
"Hey Cath Welcome back" Sara smiled with tears in her eyes. "Yeah Cath" Nick hugged her "Welcome back"
