Catherine who had tears streaming down her face could not contain herself any longer. "Gil, I think this is it, he is right you know we waited for so long to tell each other and now we don't have a chance to ever be together." se paused " Gil I don't want to die"
Gil took her face in his hands " Look at me, you and I are going to get out of here I promise you that, you, Lindsey and I have a whole life ahead of us and we are going to spend it together. Lindsey is not going to lose her mother; I won't let anything happen to you. I promise I will protect you with my own life."
Gil kept her face in his ands and kissed her softly " I know this may seem phoney or fake but I have to tell you now that I love you Catherine Willows I always have and no matter what happens here tonight I always will." Gil softly kissed her once again, but their loving embrace was interrupted when they heard two loud pops. Catherine quickly pulled away from Gil " Did you hear that, it sounded like gun shots."
"Times up!!" Warren yelled as he rushed into the room the two occupied. In hand he carried two glasses with some type of liquid in each. Pulling Catherine to her feet he handed her a glass " I think you should go first, I heard your lover boy telling you that nothing would happen to you but, he is just crazy because I promised you that you were going to die." he smiled at Gil " Go on Juliet drink up."
Catherine pushed the glass away and sat back down " Please you don't have to do this we are sorry if you think we took our feelings for granted but we learned our lesson. Please I have a little girl at home waiting for me."
Warren laughed, " You sound just like Katie did, and I laughed at her to.. Now get up." Warren pulled Catherine up again and pried her mouth open forcing the liquid down. Swallowing only a small amount Catherine spit up and choked on the remaining amount. Warren then grabbed the other glass and turned to Gil.
" You're turn." Gil pushed Warren away and was prepared for a fight, when Warren grabbed Catherine ad pulled out a gun. " Get the glass and drink or I will speed up the dying process for our princess." Warren pointed the gun at her head "Wait" Gil yelled " I will do it" Gil picked up the glass looked at the contents and took a quick sniff trying to figure out what it was and if he had any chance of survival after drinking it." He was about to drink when Catherine yelled to him " Don't do it Gil, it's not worth it, let me die and you can take care of Lindsey, she will be as happy with you as she would be with me." Catherine felt her body getting weak " Please don't leave Lindsey with out anyone to take care of her one of us is better then neither one of us." Gil watched as a tear fell from her eye. " Catherine, I told you we would get out of here and I meant it." He sighed " You won't shoot her it would go against everything you stand for, the slow sweet death of two lovers that is what you are all about, if you want to shoo her be my guest but I am not going to drink this you will have to think of another way or you should have tied me up first." Warren laughed and threw Catherine aside to the ground and pointed the gun at Gil. "You think you got it all figured out, well I will not hesitate to shoot you right here and now."
Gil showed no fear " Pull the trigger then" he snapped as he dropped the glass and it shattered on the ground. As the glass made contact with the ground another pop rang out and Warren Bakers fell to the ground.
Gil looked up at the door way and saw Brass standing with his gun pointed ready to shoot again if he had to. Gil rushed over to Catherine who was still lying in the ground. "Brass we need to get her to a hospital and have her stomach pumped, I am not sure how much she swallowed but her pulse is weak."
