Chapter 16

After locking Lindsey back in the bedroom with Gil, Martin Frank turned to Catherine and pulled her up off the ground.

"What's the matter with you?" he snapped and swung Catherine across the living room floor "She's my kid now to, when I tell her something she is going to follow my rules without any interruptions from you."

Catherine scrambled to her feet and backed away.

"Are you nuts, you're seriously think me and my daughter care about you. I don't even know you, your just some whack job off the strip. You really think that you compare to Gil Grissom, well let me tell you something, you could keep us here forever and the only thing Lindsey and I would ever feel for would be pure hatred and disgust. I don't love you, Lindsey does not love you, you're not Gil Grissom, you're not important; you're just another crazed lunatic who thinks the world owes him. Well, just to let you know, Gil Grissom worked for what he has now, nothing was just given to him, and he didn't try and steal it away from someone else. You think you have it all figured out, and in your head you may think you stole something from him or took over his life, but never will Gil Grissom ever give in to your demands. I don't care what you do to me, I will never see you as anything except the psycho that you are."

Martin listened as the Catherine brought him down on another level and kicked him around verbally. Anger and hatred began to boil up in his blood stream and it rushed to his head. Martin's eyes grew wide and his expression changed dramatically.

Catherine was now looking at the real Martin Frank, the violent, sadistic Martin Frank.

In the bedroom Lindsey rushed over to Gil.

"Grissom, that man is going to hurt mommy" she stood up and pulled Gil's arm "we have to go, we have to get out of here"

Gil pulled Lindsey in his arms.

"Lindsey, sweetheart you have to calm down what happened what did he say."

Lindsey shook her head "nothing, but he hit her and he pushed her." Lindsey's body jolted when they heard a loud crash out side the bedroom door.

Lindsey ran toward the door and pressed her ear against it. "Grissom he is hurting her, he's hurting my mommy"

Gil watched as Lindsey took it upon herself to try and distract Martin.

"Hey" she screamed, "leave my mommy alone. Please" she screamed and began to kick and bang the back of the bedroom door.

Martin walked toward Catherine who in turn bolted around the sofa to keep a safe distance between tem.

"You stay away from me," she snapped

Martin stopped and jumped onto the couch. "Or what?" he paused and laughed, "What are you going to do?"

Stab me with a knife, shoot me with your finger" he dove at her and tackled her to the ground "you gonna beat me up, huh, bitch" he snapped as he smacked her across the face "what are you gonna do?"

Martin did not wait for a response; instead he stood up and walked toward the bedroom where shouts from Lindsey and Gil grew louder.

Martin made a face "shut up" he yelled "shut up". He clamped his hands over his ears and began to talk to himself.

Catherine pulled herself to her feet and watched as Martin had what she thought was a mental break down or an overload.

"Stop screaming" he snapped "SHUT UP"

Martin unable to take anymore of the noise pulled out a gun and looked over at Catherine "Say good bye" he yelled and began unlocking the bedroom door.

Catherine darted across the room "NO, wait" she begged "please" but by the time she reached the door Martin as already inside and locked the door behind him.

Catherine's first thought was to lock him in there but quickly realized Gil and Lindsey were both in fact in that room.

"Martin" she called and pounds the door " leave them alone"

Martin stood in front of the door and watched as the two back away from the door. He then pointed his gun at Lindsey

"You will shut up, you will do as I say or I will kill your mommy"

Lindsey shook her head; she was not as afraid as Gil thought and she ran at Martin and began to hit him.

"You leave my mommy alone, you better not hurt her"

With one arm Martin pushed her away with full force and Lindsey slammed into a nearby wall.

Gil started to run to her when the gun went off, and a bullet lodge in Gil Grissom's side.

Catherine listened in horror on the other side of the door as the gunshot rang out through the house and the room filled with the screams of her nine year old daughter.

"Grissom?" Lindsey looked over at the man now on the floor rolling around in agonizing pain. "Grissom, your bleeding really bad" Lindsey's body shook never in her life had she seen so much blood come from one person. "You have to press on it," she whispered in Gil's ear "my mommy taught me once when she cut herself"

Martin watched the two on the floor and could do nothing but smirk. After a while his face showed no emotion as he walked out of the room and came face to face with Catherine Willows.
