Grissom regarded the blond standing next to his bed and without a trace of fear, and confronted her. "Heather, where is Sophia?"


Her eyes narrowed at Grissom. "I'll never tell you where Sophia is. And no one will believe that I'm not her, they'll all think you have amnesia."

Grissom glared back at her. "She wasn't the one that I took out to dinner that night was she?"

Heather smirked at him. "And you thought that being a crime scene investigator was a difficult job."

"What did you do with her?" Grissom kept his tone even. How Lady Heather had masqueraded as Sophia Curtis for that long astounded him.

"You'd be amazed at what a little hair color and a wardrobe change can do to a person's perception." Heather continued with a devious smirk on her face.

"Nothing in this job surprises me." Grissom replied a bit wearily. The drugs he was on to keep the pain from his injuries at bay was making him tired.

"Well then, would it surprise you to find that Sophia and I are twins?" Heather had a sneer on her face. "And to answer your question, she has absolutely no idea that you and she supposedly had dinner. She's been in Australia visiting our parents for the last two and a half months."

Grissom looked positively ill.


"Warrick." Mia had a smile on her face as she followed him down the hallway. She had thoroughly enjoyed herself when they had gone out before and she hoped that maybe they could have a second date. She reasoned that if Warrick had gone out with her that surely things with Catherine couldn't be that serious.

Warrick glanced back and felt a sinking sensation in the pit of his stomach as he realized that Catherine was coming from the other direction. "Hey." He stopped where he was and realized that it was quite possibly time to face the music. He only hoped he could waltz his way out of it.

"Do you have plans after shift?" Mia queried him, not really paying attention to the fact that Catherine was almost within earshot.

"Uh, actually I do." Warrick tried to keep his tone light.

"Oh, that's too bad. I was hoping we could catch another classic movie." She had found out that Warrick liked old movies in the midst of their 'encounter' and they had talked about taking another one in, provided it was a rental.

"Maybe some other time." Warrick managed with a smile as Catherine sauntered up and gave the pair a curious look. Warrick looked at her and hoped that he didn't sound like a cheating bastard. "Cath, Mia likes those old movies you hate."

"Yeah, we caught one the other night." Mia caught on to the fact that Catherine and Warrick still seemed to be just as involved as they were before and she wasn't about to give up yet, but she also didn't want to let the secret out of the bag either and incur the wrath of Catherine Willows.

Catherine was suspicious, but she was going to give Warrick the benefit of the doubt for the moment, especially with what she was doing with Ecklie. "Oh, that's great."

"A classic with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn, 'Bringing Up Baby'. Absolutely hilarious. I was rolling on the floor." Of course that wasn't the real reason she was rolling on the floor, but Mia reasoned that Catherine didn't need to know that.

"Yeah, it was funny." Warrick concurred. "Hey, did you just want me to meet you later?"

Catherine shook her head. "Actually, I'm going to have to give you a rain check. Ecklie asked me to look into something and I'm in no position to say no." She smiled at Warrick despite the disappointment on his face. "Why don't you and Mia go see one of those movies?"

Warrick was surprised that Catherine was actually suggesting that he spend time with Mia. However, he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth. "Alright." He turned towards Mia and smiled. "What do you think 'North By Northwest'?"

Mia smirked. "I was actually thinking something with Bogart would be good."


Greg was seriously confused. He had just gotten the oddest thing in the mail and he wasn't sure what to make of it. If he was reading the postcard correctly, Sophia was in Sydney and whomever was here that was her, really wasn't her at all, but someone who looked like her. He furrowed his brow. If Sophia wasn't Sophia, then that would explain an awful lot, and then maybe he really wasn't going to be a father, that is if it was the real Sophia that he'd slept with and not the imposter.
"You know, you're really distracting me right now." Nick had a smirk on his face and even though he was enjoying Sara's proximity, he didn't really think that it would look good to anyone else who might walk into the garage that she kept reaching over and squeezing his ass through his coveralls.

"Well you're distracting me too." Sara feigned a pout as she leaned back against the car and fanned herself before unzipping her coveralls low enough to let Nick get the gist that she didn't have anything on underneath them.

Nick's eyes widened and he glanced around the garage before lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "How soundproof do you think that storage closet is?"


Ecklie really didn't understand how just a phone call from Catherine telling him that she was on her way to his office got him all hot and bothered, but he was already feeling his heart race at the thought of what she could do to him.
Catherine paused by the garage, although completely deserted she heard the faint sound of something that sounded pretty damn familiar coming from the storage closet. She decided to get a closer look and see if there was something that she could catch someone in the middle of to further her cause to Ecklie. Just as she reached the door, it burst open with a very out of breath Nick and Sara hauling out the jaws of life. She quirked an eyebrow at them suspiciously. "Heavy?"

"Oh, it was stuck. We near about had to get another set of hands to get this damn thing out." Nick replied rather convincingly despite the fact that he looked suspiciously sated.

"Yeah, I don't know who the hell put this thing on the top shelf." Sara concurred as they set it down near the car, that fortunately merited the use of the tool to get at some evidence that they could see but couldn't reach. Her hair was mussed and her lips looked suspiciously swollen, but there was nothing overt to indicate to Catherine what she and Nick had been doing just moments before.

"Probably someone on days." Catherine responded dryly, disappointed that she hadn't actually caught them in the act even though she was pretty damn sure that the two of them were engaging in the horizontal mambo on company time.


"Well that was pretty convenient." Mia commented as she and Warrick were waiting for the coffee to finish brewing.

"Uh, Mia." Warrick wasn't sure what to say, it was obvious that he knew that she knew that she was the other woman.

"Don't say anything. I had a good time, and I'd like to continue to have good times. What Catherine doesn't know won't hurt her." Mia didn't believe a word of what she was saying, but she was determined to steal Warrick away from Catherine.


"That was pretty damn close." Nick whispered conspiratorially.

"She doesn't have any evidence." Sara smirked.


"Catherine." Ecklie was grinning like a fool as Catherine walked into his office and shut the door. "Anything on Stokes yet?"

Catherine looked at him smugly. "Actually, I think we can take down two birds with one stone."

Ecklie arched a brow.

"I didn't catch them, but you can't really made sounds like that unless you're really enjoying yourself." Catherine stepped a little closer to Ecklie, unfastening the top button on her blouse.

"Who?" Ecklie wanted names. He wanted to take down the entire night shift even if it brought down the lab.

Catherine straddled his lap and leaned her face towards him as she continued to unbutton her blouse. "Nick and Sara."


Greg was on his way to the hospital. No matter how awkward the situation might be with Grissom, he needed to tell him what he'd found out. If this imposter was after Grissom, there might be a bigger motive than just an insatiable sex drive involved.
"You like that, Conrad?" Catherine's voice was husky as she reached down and cupped Ecklie's groin through his slacks with her hand.

"Catherine." Ecklie's voice was a squeak and his heart rate was speeding up. How this woman could do this to him with just an unbuttoned blouse was a mystery to him.

"I know you like that." Catherine let out a seductive laugh as she leaned forward and nuzzled his neck.

Ecklie let out a panicked squeak and then went limp as his heart rate broke through the earth's atmosphere and went into orbit.

"Ecklie." Catherine spoke softly. When he didn't respond she spoke a little louder. "Ecklie." She checked his pulse and then her eyes went wide as she realized that she had been a little too much for his heart to take." Getting her presence of mind, she climbed off his lap and called 9-1-1 as she buttoned her blouse.
