Chapter 8: Twists and Turns
"Oh, oh! Let me see that!" cried Catherine as she yanked Jen's left hand.
"Hey, hey ,hey! Stop it, Cath!" protested Jen.
But too late, Catherine was already staring in awe at Jen's ring. "It's so beautiful!!! Wes has good taste!" complimented Catherine.
Jen whipped her hand away and said,"Ok, times up! I've got work to do,"
Catherine pouted playfully and said,"Party pooper,"
Jen glanced at her with a grin and disappeared down the hall. Then, Catherine heard Warrick and Greg's voices singing loudly,"Here comes the bride, all dressed in white!!"
"Shut up!" yelled Jen.
Catherine smiled to herself, 'You would think that after being rated the number two crime lab in the country, they wouldn't be so playful,' she thought.
Nick suddenly appeared at the door. "Cath, are you busy now?"
Catherine shook her head and asked,"Why? Woah! What happened to you?" eyeing the bruisers on Nick's face. Nick sighed and beckoned her to follow him.
As they walked down the hall towards the exit, Nick filled Catherine in about the last night's events.
When Nick finished, Catherine gasped and said,"So Sara..." Nick nodded and said,"I even told her that if something happens to our family, I'll never forgive her,"
Catherine frowned. Nick looked at her and asked,"What?"
"Well, I think you were a bit tactless there,"
"Tactless? What??"
"I'm just saying, Sara doesn't deserve that knid of treatment,"
Nick glared at her and sighed as he pushed the front door open. Catherine waited for him to say something but when Nick didn't say anything, she said,"Ok, slow down, Nicky. Question one, where are we going, and question two, are we allowed to?"
The sun was slowly setting. It was nearly the end of shift, but Catherine knew about the lab's strict working hours.
Nick said,"I cleared it with Grissom, and we are going to jail,"
Catherine raised her eyebrows as they began walking towards the carpark. Nick continued,"We are going to convince Brian Mc Cormick to stop bugging my family,"
Catherine asked,"Ok... why do you need me?"
Nick replied,"You are the people person, right? That's why I need you,"
"So I can socialise with the prison inmates?" she asked sarcastically. But Nick chose not to reply to her remark.
They stopped in front of Wes' SUV, where Wes was standing. "So, he got you too, huh?" asked Catherine, "Why does he need you?"
Wes shot her a clueless look and said,"Uh... to drive?" jerking a thumb towards the SUV.
Catherine smiled,"You came willingly, huh?"
Wes shrugged,"Beats working,"
Catherine asked,"Don't you want to keep your fiancee company?"
"Hey, she's got a lot of work to do,"
Nick cleared his throat,"Uh, guys?"
Catherine said,"Sorry, Nicky..." and walked to the back seat door and climbed in.
Wes got into the driver's seat. "Step on it," said Nick.
Wes shot him an inquiring glance and pulled out of the car park.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the jail. Nick was extra 'hyper' that time, he was already entering the prison entrance by the time Wes and Catherine got out of the car.
Wes sighed and said,"We better keep a good look out, when he is in this kind of mood, he is bound to do something unsensible,"
Catherine muttered,"Yeah..."
When they entered, Nick was already at the front desk, waiting for them."I made an appointment, let's go," and he strolled down the corridor, towards the interrogation room.
Catherine and Wes exchanged glances and followed Nick. They stopped outside the interrogation room, an officer came out and said,"You can go in,"
Nick stormed in and confronted Brian,"You are doing this!"
Brian, calm, as usual said,"Why, Nick Stokes! I don't even know what you're talking about!" However, he looked a little surprised.
"No? Well, you seem surprised to see me here, alive!" said Nick. Brian narrowed his eyes,"I am not admitting anything,"
Wes said cooly,"But you're not denying either, right?"
Brian smirked and looked at Nick,"Your wife came to me, it's not my fault. She offered herself to me,"
That's when Nick snapped and lunged for Brian. "Arggh!" Brian yelled as Nick slammed him against the wall.
The interrogation room door opened and the officer on duty ran in, shocked. Wes, the officer and Catherine rushed to pull Nick off Brian.
Wes grabbed Brian only to have his eye socked by him. He fell back, rubbing his eye.
Nick gave Brian a heavy punch. Catherine was yelling,"Nick! STOP IT!!"
But there was no stopping Nick. He kept giving Brian a belt after another till Brian started bleeding heavily.
The officer yelled,"Sir! PLEASE!!"
Wes rejoined the brawl and finally managed to yank Nick of Brian. However, Nick layed a fianl blow, pushing Brian against the wall. Brian's head hit the wall heavily and he slumped to the floor, unconcious.
The officer was hysterical now, he yelled,"Please, get out of here and wait!" to the three crimminalists. The three of them went out while the officer called for a paramedic.
Outside, Catherine was really angry at Nick. Even the steady Wes was seething,"What the hell is wron with you?" he asked Nick furiously.
Nick just turned away,breathing heavily. Catherine said,"Nick! You can't attack a prisoner! Do you realize they can press charges against you? You could lose your job!"
Nick glanced at them and said,"It doesn't matter! Don't you get it? With Brian around, much worse things could happen besides losing a job!"
Catherine looked at Wes, who slumped onto a bench defeatedly. Nick was right.
After the eventful evening, Brian was taken to the jail's special hospital room. The doctor on duty told the crimminalists that Brian was fine,"But I strongly suggest that you do not go and see him again. Do you need more ice for that?" he added to Wes, who's eye was becomming a deep shade of red.
Wes sighed and shook his head.
Soon, the three of them were out in the moon light, walking toward Wes' car. Wes mumble,"Remind me never to get involved with your business ever again,"
Catherine glanced at her watch,"Oh, look at the time," with an edge in her voice.
Nick mumbled,"You still think I acted irrationally, don't you?"
Catherine looked at him and said,"Well..."
"Cath, what would you do if he is attacking your family?"
"I would let the police know, not go and single-handedly punched him into pulp!"
Wes thought wearily,'Here we go again...'
Nick said,"What? Even if he was after your daughter?"
"Again, I'll have the cops handle it, while I take extra care of Lindsay,"
"We are the cops Cath!"
Suddenly, Wes caught sight of something blinking in one of the jail windows. 'A torchlight, maybe?'
The light was blinking on and off every few seconds. "Guys..."
Catherine and Nick were still bickering away. Nick was saying,"So you're saying that you should just ignore all the attacks on your family?"
"YOU CAN IGNORE ALL THE ATTACKS IN THE WORLD FOR ALL I CARE!!" yelled Wes, breaking their argument.
"What?" asked Nick. Wes pointed at the blinking light,"Is it my imagination, or is that light coming from Brian Mc Cormick's ward?"
Nick muttered,"That son of a bitch, now he is palying with a torch light?"
Catherine said,"Wait... isn't that morse code? Who's he trying to communicate with?"
Wes glanced around to the office building opposite the jail. "Hey?" muttered wes, there was a tall dark figure, a man probably, on the roof of the office building. He was hunched as if writing down Brian's light signals.
Wes said,"Guys, I bet you anything that that guy on the roof is our killer!"
