Rating: R

Disclaimer: Do not own them, you know this and I know this, why must we recap (lol) I also do not own the song "last kiss"

After hearing the screams coming from the women he loved Gil forgot about the wound he was suffering from amd leaped off of the stretcher he was lying on and raced toward the room Catherine was in.

As soon as he got to to the door Gil knew what was wrong and it hit him like a tone of bricks. Gil stormed into the room to find Catherine huddle in the fetal postion and in a corner, a tall man towering over her.

"What the hell is going on?" Gil yelled limping toward the man " You are a male doctor, don't you know what happened to her you can't examine her."

The man in the white lab coat turned to him " sir you can't be in here"

Gil pushed the man aside " like hell I can't " he snapped and bent down to Catherine who was holding her hands to her ears.

"Catherine?" he whispered pulling her close. "Catherine?"

Catherine pulled away from and returned her hands to ears and that's when Gil heard it.

"Oh Where oh Where can my baby be, the lord

Took her away from me."

"That song" he whispered and looked at the doctor " where is that music coming from?"

The doctor looked at him funny " well it's coming from the waiting room sir, it's a satillite system provided to our hospital for the waiting room, the cafeteria and the nurses lounge."

"She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good so I can

see my baby when I leave this world"

Gil walked up to him with an angry gleam in his eye " turn it off, you have to turn it off now"

Gil watched as the doctor followed his orders and then he went back to Catherine.

"Hey" he whispered as he bent down to comfort her " it's gone, the music is gone"

Catherine reluctanly removed her hands frm her ears

"You had me worried" Gil smiled again trying to comfort her " I think you startled the doctor to" he said helping her back to the hospital bed.

Catherine did not say anything to him

" Cath" he pleaded " Cath, please say something"

Catherine looked at him, tears streaming down her face

"What do you want me to say" she whispered " I mean, all I want to do is be alone right now, I have to try and figure this out, I have to try and grasp what has happened"

Gil tried to calm her and took her hand in his " Cath, please calm down I was just "

"NO, you were not just, what do you want from me? You want me to tell you I am fine, and I am okay and that I am going to be alright? Is that what you want me to say?"

Gil shook his head in shock "Cath I"

"don't!! , stop trying to explain what you are trying to do, I want to feel it Gil, I want to be able to hold on to you and I want to comfort you and you me, and I see you standing there and I am trying you have to understand but I don't even know who I am right now, Everything I stand for, evrything that was important to me, and everything I have done so far as an investigator seems like a big waste of time. Gil we work hard to help put peope like Paul Winters in jail and this time I failed and look where it got me, look where it got you"

Gil made a face and tried to figure out what she was getting at. " What are you saying? That you dont'"

Again Catherine cut him off " I dont know" she snapped " I just want" she began and pulled her hands from his " please go, I want you to leave me alone"
