Chapter 10

Lindsey crouched down and hid herself beside the bed just as Catherine came back into the room.

"Lindsey?" she called out to her daughter "Lindsey where are you?"

Lindsey poked her out from the bedside. "Mommy" she whispered, "Someone is there," she said as she pointed to the closet.

Catherine made a face "Lindsey what are you talking about.. There is." Catherine paused when she heard a man call out her name.

Catherine's eyes like her daughter grew wide in fear and her body too began to tremble. "Lindsey stay where you are" she whispered as she gripped the hammer and walked toward the closet.

"Mommy be careful"

Catherine shook her head and let out a loud sigh as she continue toward the closet. As Catherine grabbed the handle on the closet door she paused when another bang ran out in the quit room.

Catherine pulled the closet door open and raised her hammer.

"Wait" the man yelled as he lurched forward and fell out of the closet.

"Gil?" Catherine yelled as he fell at her feet. "What are you doing here?" she bent down and helped him to his feet. "Gil you're bleeding" she whispered

At the mention of Gil's name Lindsey jumped up from behind the bed and ran to her mother and Gil. "Grissom" she yelled and threw her arms around him "you're hurt".

"You cut you're hand" he whispered to Catherine as he took her in is arms "did he hurt you?'

Catherine shook her head "No I'm okay and Lindsey's okay," she said as she pulled away and picked up the hammer.

Gil followed her to the window "Where is he?" he whispered as he watched Catherine pull a nail out of the wood.

"He's outside, for now I locked him out, I tried calling for help but his phone is not connected and my cell phone is back in the tahoe"

"What are you doing here?" she asked between hammer thrusts.

Gil took the hammer from her " let me, your hand is hurt." Gil took the hammer and began pounding the wood. "He called me and said he had you, and to meet him here. When I got here I went through his things all his id has my name on it, like he has been living as me, I found a piece of id that said Martin Frank so I am guessing that's his real identity."

"I just want you to know that I am not going to let this guy hurt either of you and I…" Gil paused when he heard the sound of a gun being cocked. He quickly turned to see his evil double pointing a gun at Catherine and Lindsey.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" he said in a singsong tone as he walked over to Catherine and pulled her into him. "I hope you weren't thinking you were going escape."

He wrapped his ram around her waist and bought the gun to her head "Gil, throw the hammer toward me."

Gil hesitated for a second until Martin pushed the gun into Catherine's temple "I'm not playing Gil"

Gil paused and looked over at Lindsey and the back toward Martin "Let them go Martin, you don't need them, if you want to take over my life or steal my identity or whatever, the only person you need to deal with is me."

Martin shook his head "See that's where your wrong Gil, I have been through hell all my life, I was the most unimportant person in anyone's life, all I wanted to do was find someone who would love me for who I was. I hungered to have a beautiful wife and a daughter and a wonderful job, and a reputation that was golden, you have that you have a beautiful family, and a great job, everyone loves you, you're like a god in this life and I want what you have and if it means getting rid of you to have you then I will. I have worked to hard at this to let it all go, I am you Gil Grissom, Martin Frank doesn't exist anymore and Las Vegas is not big enough for the two of us and I don't plan on leaving."

Gil made a face at him "that's crazy, you have to work for the things you want, you can't just wake up one day and decide that you don't feel like trying and then go out and decide to steal someone's life out from under there nose."

Martin laughed "Say what you want, I am not giving in, you had everything I have ever wanted and now it all belongs to me." he smiled at Gil as he leaned and kissed Catherine's neck "She smells so good"

Gil noticed he had lowered his gun and took a step forward to stop him, but Martin was quick and raised the gun again. "This is how it works, I take over everything you know, I kill you, and everyone else involved is none the wiser, of course, my wife here is going to have to quit her job, maybe we will move out of town, start fresh, the new Gil Grissom will be better then ever."

Martin stepped back work and took Catherine with him. As soon as he was out of the room he slammed the door shut and latched it locking Gil and Lindsey inside.

Instantly Catherine started to put up a fight and scream. Martin clamped a hand over her mouth but she bit him.

Martin drew his hand back and flew into a rage "you stupid bitch, why did you have to go and do that?"

He paused and walked toward her "do you know who I am, damn it, why won't you respect me, I'm Gil Grissom." Martin slammed her against the wall " if you act like this things are going to be hard, but we will make, I promise you and Lindsey are my life." Martin pushed her backward and locked her in the guest room.

Gil bolted toward the door but it was too late. Lindsey came up behind him "Grissom, what's going to happen to us?" Lindsey paused and sat on the floor "What's going to happen to mommy?"
