"Catherine? Catherine? What's wrong?" he said moving closer to her
"Lindsay...th..they" she started but was soon crying to hard to say anything
"Lindsay? What about her? Is she okay? Cath, tell me...what's wrong?" he said pulling her into his arms
"Lindsay, there..there taking Lindsay from me" she stuttered and started crying again.........
"What?" Grissom said pulling back
"They...I cant" she stuttered, shakily Catherine handed him the note and reached for a tissue in her purse
Grissom momentarily glanced at her before reading the piece of paper
Miss Catherine WillowsIt has come to our concern of the welfare of a Miss Lindsay Ashley Willows. Before the death of your late- husband Eddie Willows he expressed concern of Miss. Willows welfare. The court was notified that Lindsay Willows is often at your sisters house, with babysitters or at school. Children, especially young children need to have a stable home with both parents involved in the bringing up of the child and also benefit from specific schedules.
The court has allowed Miss Willows to remain in your custody until further notice. A date has been set for you to appear on the 10th of August and you, your daughter and various character witnesses ( who will be receiving notification within the next week ) will be expected to attend.
It is unique for a child welfare case to be acted on when the complaining witness is dead but some members felt that with only a mother and sister as family in the Las Vegas area there may be more concern for Miss Willows welfare.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr. Brian Deebcrest
Director off Child Welfare association, Las Vegas
Grissom looked up at Catherine, who was now staring out the window
"Catherine?"
"There going to take her away" Catherine mumbled to herself
"Catherine?" Grissom reached over and touched her sholder
She turned slowly towards him and looked into his eyes
"Gil, my baby's being taken away" she said and her eyes started to water again
"Shhh no Cath, the court's calling character witnesses- everyone will get up there, and say you're a great mother- there's no way they can take Lindsay" he said holding her again
"We have to go and see her" Catherine said and jumped back into place to put on her seatbelt
"Catherine, do you think that's a good idea? If the court finds out you pulled her out off school then you might get into trouble" he said looking into her eyes again
"Yeh, I guess your right, I just want to see her so much" she sniffled
Grissom hesitated slightly then opened the glove box
"I knew this would come in handy one day" he said, embarrassed and handed her a picture
She smiled at him and stared at the picture
It was taken last year on Christmas day, Grissom had some early that morning to place Lindsay's 'Santa' presents under the tree. By the time Catherine had gotten up they were both in the kitchen making breakfast. By the end off the day, they were both exhausted and Catherine had found the perfect time for a photo when Lindsay had fallen asleep in Grissom's arms.
Catherine looked up at him and surprised him by hugging him
"Thanks Gil" she said
Grissom hugged her tighter, "It'll be alright – I promise"
"How can you promise something you can't keep?" she said
"Have I ever broken a promise to you?" he said, looking deep into her eyes
"No, but..." she started
"Then why would I start now?" he asked
"..............."
"Now, were going to go out for breakfast and have fun okay?" he said
"Okay" she said sitting back in her seat
Grissom started up the car and they headed towards the diner......
