Chapter Title: Beautiful Disaster

A/N: Thanks to few for reminding me about this. Here is your update and please review!! Thank you.

Grissom arrived at the Public Library right after he put his phone down after talking with Brass. He had asked Catherine and Sara to join him since they both had finished with their arson case and the Ria Murder Case was getting larger.

The three of them met up with Brass and were lead into the Public Library and over towards where Marissa's body laid. She was positioned the same way Ria was. Multiple gun wounds, bruise across the face and a band instrument next to her.

"So, Library worker found her and called the police. No witnesses say they saw anything unusual."

"No one heard a scream or anything? The Library is really quiet." Catherine noted as she squatted down next to the body.

"Maybe she was dead before and then the killer dropped her here." Sara said as she glanced around. "So, I'm going to look at all exits and see if I can get anything." And she left.

"Hey guys." David said as he came to join them shortly after Sara's departure. "Wow. Talk about Deja vu."

"Anything you see that's different from Ria?" Grissom asked as David began to look at the body.

"Well, not really. It's exactly the same. Bullet wounds, bruise across face. Yeah, it's all the same."

"Then let's get her body to the morgue." Catherine suggested as she stood up and looked at Grissom. "What now?"

He sighed as he too had stood up and looked around. "Look for evidence of some kind, anything. We just need to catch this guy."

"Hey Grissom," Sara yelled, "I think you should come and see this."

Curious, Grissom followed Sara's voice and soon found himself in the back corner of the library. "What?"
"There's a message; in blood." She pointed.

Grissom eyes followed and he swallowed hard as he came across the message.

Hello Mr. Grissom. Did you find Marissa's body yet? She was getting in the way of things really. But she and Ria aren't my target anymore. You see, my new target is you.

Sara glanced nervously at Grissom who had become suddenly stiff. "Grissom-"

"Get a sample of the blood," he said cutting her off, "and give it to Greg."

Catherine Willows didn't have much of a problem when finding Grissom. Once she had heard about the message written on the Public Library wall, she immediately wanted to find him once shift was over.

And she did.

"Gil," Catherine said as she walked into the locker room, "you know you can always take a break."

"There's no need to take a break Catherine. There maybe be a serial killer out there and breaks are impossible to take."

She rolled her eyes at him and crossed her arms over her chest. "Gil, you're in danger and I'm sure, if I were you, I wouldn't be here working on a case that may lead me into danger. I'd have police all around me twenty-four seven."

"The killer is only playing with our minds."

"Gil, he got away with dumping a body at a Public Library! This guy is good." She argued as he closed his locker door and turned to face her. "I mean, seriously Gil, please. Brass is already getting undercover policemen to protect you. Plus, you need the time off."

"I'm the supervisor. I make the decisions."

"This isn't my decision. This is the Crime Lab's decision. Not only are you putting yourself in danger but you are also putting the crime lab in."

Grissom's brow rose as he took off his glasses. "Where was I when this discussion was taking place?"

"Gil, for me, go home. We can do this. Please." Catherine said as her eyes softened along with her voice. "Please."

And Grissom stared at Catherine. Stared at her for what could have been for the longest time as an awkward silence fell over them. And then, he gave in. Partly because of the way Catherine had convinced him too.

"Fine," he said as a smile formed across Catherine's lips, "but keep be updated."
