"Name"
"Um Catherine Grissom. It used to belong to Detective Brass"
"Yes right this way," she follows the woman back to the saftey deposit boxes and she shows her box 326," Can I look at it myself"
"Yes just press this button when you're done"
"Okay," the woman leaves and Catherine opens the box. Inside is a smaller box. She opens it up inside is a bunch of papers. She begins to flip through them and one catches her eye almost instantly they were witness protection papers the names were Lindsey and Gil Grissom," Witness protection," she reads on through the papers. She grabs them presses the button and the lady comes," Are you done"
"Yes I'm going to take these with me"
"Okay"
"Do I need to sign anything"
"No the box is yours now"
"Okay thank you," she puts the papers in her pocket and gets out of there in almost a run. She gets in her car and goes back to the lab. She goes inside quickly signing the same name she grabs a badge and runs back to the lab," You keep his office locked"
"Yeah heres the key," Nick hands her the key and she runs into his office shutting the door behind her also locking it," What the hell is his name doing on witness protection papers," she sits down behind the desk and opens them up and begins to read them one thing pops out to her: CURRENT RESIDENCY: 25814 HALLENS DR. MIAMI, FL. She grabs her cell and dials a number she hadn't in a few years," Horatio Caine"
"Horatio Catherine from Vegas look I need you to run a search for me"
"Sure anything"
"I need you to tell me who lives at 25814 Hallens Dr. down there"
"Okay you still have the same fax number"
"Yeah"
"I'll fax you the results"
"Thank you," Catherine closes her phone and keeps on reading the paper work. A fax comes through and she picks it up the names read were," James and Halley Hawthorne," pictures were included next to the names," Oh my god it can't be"

Catherine had run out of the lab and driven back to the Bellagio grabed her stuff paid and made it to the airport just in time to catch the last plane to Miami.
Nick walked by Gils office and a note was taped on the door:
