AN: I will not continue this until I get reviews.


Death is only the first step

By Cat

Chapter one

Catherine opened her eyes to a blinding white light. She blinked multiple times before trying to sit up only to be pushed gently down by a comforting hand.

"What happened?" She asked quietly as she looked at the caring face of her boss.

"You were attacked and shot twice. Once in the stomach and a second time in the chest." He said in reply. "You must rest. You're lucky to be alive with all the blood you have lost."

"Who attacked me?" Grissom just looked away as if he had not heard. "Grissom! Answer me!"

"We don't know yet..." Grissom looked away slightly. "But we're going to find out who did this. I promise." Grissom said sternly.

Catherine sighed and sat back silently. "Where's Lindsay?" She suddenly realised.

Grissom looked at his feet and took hold of Catherine's hand. "Umm... She... she got taken from school just after the attack happened." Grissom squeezed Catherine's hand gently. "But we'll find her. We're all working as hard as we can. And I promise to you that I won't stop looking until we do find her."

A tear fell silently down Catherine's cheek. "Please make sure that she doesn't get hurt." Catherine sobbed as Grissom hugged her gently, whispering comforting words to her. "Ahh!" Catherine suddenly cried and Grissom pulled back warily to see blood escaping the wound in her chest.

He shouted for a nurse and using his jacket as a pad he applied pressure to the wound to try and make it stop bleeding. The nurse rushed in and the heart rate monitor's beep slowed. Grissom got pushed outside and shouting was heard from the room. Grissom gasped as the beep from the heart monitor turned into a dull tone...

He said down in a nearby chair and placed blood covered hands to his head silently and began to cry. He was found there moments later by doctors and nurses leaving the room.

"I am sorry doctor Grissom but she has not made it." A doctor said quietly in a voice of utter sorrow. "I am deeply sorry."

To Be continued if you like it...


AN: I will continue if any enough people like it...

But if you are the person who wrote this: "ok here is a review (s.p?) this is wierd probebly would be good if it was longer, write some more and you probebly will get proper reviews!!"

I do get proper reviews. I would make it longer if I wasn't pressured by those people who say "make it longer, it will be better that way..." It may not seem as though I do but I try to make my stories as long as I can... And I would appreciate it if you didn't write things like that in the future... That first part was only a prologue anyway...
