Chapter Five: Hands On
The darkness was slowly chocking her, the inability to see making her feel the vulnerability she was facing in the middle of the abandoned high school. Her eyes strained involuntarily, trying to adjust to the lack of light so it they could send some images to the brain, to comfort the fears coursing through the blonde's body. To reassure her that there was nobody hiding behind these shadows, waiting for the right time to jump and get her.
Her memories went back to the attack she was under during duty, and she attentively touched her forehead reliving the fear she was feeling once again. Only this time it was worst, this time she was yet to be attacked and whatever danger could be a few feet away.
Catherine Willows, as a single mother, had been through quite a few nights where her young daughter, Lindsey, would barge into her room screaming her little pretty head off about boogeyman hiding in her closet. Wanting her to face her fears, Catherine would take Lindsey by the hand and show her that her room was clear and that Mr. Basco the bear was watching out for her, chuckling inside at the childish fear of darkness.
But now... now, she knew how Lindsey felt. And Catherine Willows loved honesty and being frank; she was terrified of the boogeyman. The curtains closed on the blue-colored eyes, walking in chosen darkness was better than taking a step in one you had no control over and Catherine felt better doing just that.
But, with eyes closed or not, your sense of hearing was more powerful than before you have lost your sight. And as Catherine walked in the shadows, with eyes shut, she could easily hear her footsteps along with her two companions and she found another way to wreck her nerves.
She focused her sensation on her hearing, listening to the rhythm of their footsteps, wanting to make sure that there was no more than three sets of feet walking down the dark hall. Sure enough, there was only three people walking... at the moment. The blonde decided to keep an ear out for any unusual sounds other than what she was hearing now.
It was almost as if she was able to see again... almost.
Warrick looked around, not surprised that the right view was as dark as the left one was. This was unbelievable! He did not hate high school when he was attending it, he was pretty popular, so it was not that bad. But at the moment, he believed he hated school more than the students themselves.
A setup. Who would actually have the time on a Saturday to set them up? Couldn't they wait until the weekend was over to lock them up in this stupid maze-like building. Seriously, it wouldn't have been bad to get friendly with his pillow for a few hours before he found himself stuck in this shit. The brunet swore to never piss anybody off ever again in his whole life if it was going to cost his free time.
He would not have mind staying in school at this time if he was still a student. He knew he could have convinced a girl or two to stay this late with him back in his days. He grinned, thinking about the memories this place brought up. The young man shook his head, Warrick, my boy, you were one helluva boy! He suppressed a chuckle, leave it up to me to think of these things now.
He cracked his knuckles, making somebody gasp in front of him. He didn't need to think to know that it was Catherine. Warrick outstretched one of his hands , wanting to touch the older woman to reassure her that it was only him. He reached out in the dark and made a contact with a hip, thinking it was Catherine's, he gave a friendly squeeze only to pale when he realized that the hip was not that feminine.
Blushing, Warrick quickly withdrew his hand and on the way, he felt his hand touch a soft fabric. The next thing he knew was a startled cry before he found himself on the ground, his jaw throbbing with his speed beating heart.
"Warrick, that wasn't me." Grissom calmly defended himself, his hand where Warrick's was a moment ago, wishing it was another hand instead of his co-worker's.
"Figured." Warrick voice was muffled as he rubbed his jaw, "Catherine, that's what mean hook you got there."
"Sorry," was the sheepish apology.
Warrick chuckled, it was going to be one long night.
AN: Are they OOC? I'm really not sure... Neway, you guys can vote for your fav pairing, should it be Cath/Gris, or Cath/Warrick. Well, there's always the possibility of Gris/Warrick, but I won't be writing any of that. It'd be too weird blinks moving on! Umm, any suggestions of scenes you wanna see and situations happening in this high school are highly appreciated! Please review, and thanks for reading.
