Gil raced into the lab with the videotape swing back and forth in a plastic baggie. Running full speed past the break room where everyone was waiting for him after they got his emergency pages, the group got up and ran after him.
Gil raced toward Brass's office and burst in the door startling Bras who was on the phone.
"Ah Gil " He smiled putting his hand on the mouth piece of the phone " Thank you for knocking do you and the rest of the group want to wait outside?" Gil made a face at him and began yelling " Get off the phone Brass this is an emergency"
Brass put his hand over the mouth piece again " I am on the phone with my supervisor, I have a boss to you know."
Gil slammed his fists down " Dammit Brass, Catherine was kidnapped, get off the damn phone." Gil turned and raced out of the room running toward the video analysis room.
Brass hung up the phone at the immediate sound of the news and ran after Gil with the others.
When they reached the room Gil was occupying he had already started the video.
He pushed pause and looked at the people who had just come into the room. " I was taking her home and this van came out of nowhere, these two men jumped out and one came after me and held me down. The other man grabbed Catherine and dragged her to their van, by the time I got up to help her they were half way down the street and they had thrown this video tape at me." Gil turned back around and pressed play on the video machine.
The group sat quietly while the video rolled. The video showed Catherine sitting at the table with her sister and Lindsey.
Lindsey was telling her aunt how her mom had a new boyfriend. Catherine sister started asking who he was and when she could meet him. Catherine informs her that there is no boyfriend, it is just Gil Grissom. Lindsey then begins telling her aunt (Cath's sister) how they are always laughing together and that her mom told her she loved him. After her mother chases Lindsey out of the room her sister asks her how she really feels about Gil. The video ends with Catherine saying these words. "Yeah, I guess if I really think about it, Lindsey is right, I am in love with him but he is my best friend."
Catherine sat huddled in a corner shaking, not because she was cold but because she was deathly afraid of what was to come. The room was pitch black and Catherine could her music playing in the room next to her.
As Catherine sat on the floor the door to the room she was in flew open startling her on to her feet.
The figure at the door stood still as a statue in the doorway and spoke to her. "Don't be afraid," he whispered, " He will be here soon enough and you can tell him exactly how you feel and he can tell you how he feels. No more hiding. Cupid knows just what to do."
