Summary: On an outing at the mall with Lindsey, Catherine is abducted leaving only one witness. Her daughter. Gil is called to investigate, the case. Why was Catherine abducted and what does it have to do with Sam Braun?
Gil walked quickly into the bus station and ran directly for the public washrooms.
As he entered the area his heart began to pound and his head began to spin. What if Catherine was already dead and and this was just a ploy to catch me off guard? He thought to himself.
Gil reached for the door handle on the fourth stall and pushed the door open slowly.
Inside the stall Gil found the brown paper bag, propped up on the back of the toilet. In the paper bag he found a medium size sac a pair of handcuffs and a note at the bottom. Gil used a peice of tissue to handle the note in hopes to preserve any prints left on the paper and read aloud.
"Put you're pager, cell phone and keys in the toilet, put the bag over you're head and the handcuffs on behind your'e back."
Gil put the note on the back of the toilet and procedeed to place his cell phone in the toilet bowl, he then placed the bag over his head and use the handcuffs as directed.
Back at the lab Brass was racing around looking for Grissom when he came upon Warrick.
"Hey Warrick, have you seen Gil?"
Warrick nodded his head " Yeah, about twenty minutes ago, he got up and left, I don't know where he went, maybe to go see Lindsey at Catherine 's sister."
Brass made a face " Why would he just take off, I need to talk to him"
Gil sat on the seat of the toilet waiting for something to happen when he heard the main door to the washroom open and footsteps coming toward him.
Gil let out a small sigh and listened as the footsteps stopped infront of him.
Gil opened his mouth to speak but before anyhting could come out a strong shock went through his body and he slumped over against the wall and everything went black.
Gil woke up on the cold cement floor to his name being called.
"Gil?" Catherine whispered " Please wake up he is coming !"
" Cath" Gil opened his eyes " oh, Cath" he whispered pusing the hair from her face to see the bruises, I am going to get you out of here, he is not going to hurt you anymore."
Gil was slowly sitting up when Harrison entered the room. Gil quickly got to his feet and pulled Catherine to his side so Harrison would have to go through him if he wanted to get to her.
Harrison smiled at the two " You're very protective of her, It must be love"
"Cut the crap" Gil snapped "the deal was I kill Sam and you let Catherine go, Sam is dead, I kept my end of the deal, it's you're turn"
Harrison raised his arm for silence "the plan..my plan all along was to fill your head with a story you would buy, my plan was to get back at Sam by taking his daughter, I did that, then I planned to kill him, but I figured if I was taking his daughter I would use her as collateral and get someone eles to do it, that was you and you did, now you are a murder, I never intended for Catherine to get out of here alive, but I kept her alive for you, and then once you're done with her, the plan is for you to kill her."
Gil shook his head " Why would I do that, why would I kill her for you?"
Harrison began pacing back and forth in the room " I know you are in love with her, that you feel for her, but after twenty years Gil is it not clear that she doesn't love you, that she doesn't feel the same, she still has feelings for her ex and she always will, your her friend and that's all you will ever be until she finds new friends and then she won't need you. Face it Gil the fact that you can't tell her how you feel proves you know she doesn't feel the same."
Gil shook his head " You have no idea what your talking about."
"I know exactly what I am talking about, that's why I brought you here, I could have just killed her but I wanted you to have a chance,"
"A chance for what?" Catherine whispered to Gil
"A chance to have her Gil" Harrison responded to her " A chance to touch her, make love to her, you can't tell me that you don't dream about her, that you don't have wild fantasies about her, I know you do, it's normal when you want someone as bad as you want Catherine. But like I was saying all you could do was dream until now, I am offering her to you, go ahead Gil, Guys like us don't get women like that. Women like Catherine drive men like you and me to take what we want that's the only way you will get what you want from her, just take it."
Catherine had heard enough and came to her own defense " You shut up, Gil don't listen to him he's-" Catherine stopped when Gil let go of her hand and took a step away from her.
"Gil?" She whispered " What are you doing?"
Gil looked from Harrison and then back to Catherine
"Gil, No, don't listen tohim please" Catherine pleaded " He's crazy, he just wants you to help him hurt me Gil, he is playing with your head, don't let him"
"She's lying GIl" Harrison yelled " She is going to say anything now just to save her own ass, she could care less about you."
"SHUT UP" Catherine scremed " Gil" she lowered her tone " I love you Gil, don't let him tell you I don't "
"Bull!" he snapped "Gil if you two were to get back to the lab it would all be the same, it would be Catherine flauting and flirting in front of you, she will keep making you think you have a chance and then bam she blows you off, and shuts you down. Think about it Gil, Think about it"
Catherine looked from Gil to Harrison " Gil?...Gil please he is trying to mess with us!"
"Us?..US?" Gil screamed " There is no us, he's right you would go out with the worst of men, men that will hurt you and cheat on you, but you never even gave any thought to being with me!"
"What are you talking about?" Catherine yelled back trying to control the tears " I love you, I always have, why would I lie"
Harrison watched with a smile on his face as Gil turned against Catherine "Go ahead Gil..just take it"
Gil looked over at Harrison and smiled " I want to be alone with her." he snapped " I don't want you watching, you had your fun alone with her and now it's mine turn"
Catherine's eyes were wide with fear, she could not grasp what was happening.
"Gil" she whispered " What are you doi-"
"SHUT UP!" Gil screamed grabbing her shoulders and slamming her into the wall " Just shut up!"
Harrison smiled with pride at his accomplishment " Take your time I'll be back in awhile"
Gil turned back to Catherine after Harrison had left.
Catherine backed away from him as he walked toward her "Gil please, I couldn't handle it Gil, you don't have to hurt me"
Gil grabbed her wrist and pulled her into him " follow my lead," he whispered " I am sorry I hurt you, but I had to make him think I was buying his line's , I would never hurt you on purpose, I would never even think of doing.. that to you"
"He said that you were going to kill me and that he-"
Gil cut her off " Don't worry about it, I am not going to let him hurt you, but I have to make it look like..like I ra..it doesn't matter, just follow my lead, act like you are afraid of me, I think that it is our only way out alive."
