Title: Epilogues

Chapter 2

Spoilers: "Grave Danger"

Notes on this Chapter: This is a series of instant messages between Catherine and Warrick. I think you can tell who is who by the screen names!


HottieMama: Hey! You're home.

ImPackin: Yeah. Gris kicked me out. I'm going get some rest. Go back tomorrow.

HottieMama: What are you doing?

ImPackin: Trying to Google some info on fire ants.

HottieMama: Why didn't you just ask Grissom?

ImPackin: shrug I guess I just wanted to find out myself.

HottieMama: How's our guy?

ImPackin: Sleeping when I left. Finally. He was fighting it.

HottieMama: No wonder, all he's been through.

ImPackin: Yeah.

HottieMama: Grissom there alone?

ImPackin: Nah. Greg's still there. He won't leave. He lost it before I left.

HottieMama: Lost it? Greg?

ImPackin: Yeah. Started crying out of nowhere. Just went hysterical. Docs gave him something, I think. Freaked Nicky's mom out a little bit.

HottieMama: Well, he seemed pretty dazed the whole time we were looking for Nick.

ImPackin: Guess it finally caught up with him.

HottieMama: You okay?

ImPackin: I'm fine. brb

ImPackin: OK. Had to check the phone, just in case.

HottieMama: I can't sleep. I'm too wired. btw-Lindsay says hi.

ImPackin: Lindsay's still up?

HottieMama: She saw the news. Scared her pretty good. I'll be lucky if she lets me go back to work tomorrow.

ImPackin: Lucky. Yeah.

ImPackin: Damn. These things are brutal.

HottieMama: What?

ImPackin: These ants. People die from these.

HottieMama: Warrick, he's fine.

ImPackin: Fine? He's not fine, Cath.

HottieMama: You sure you're okay?

HottieMama: Warrick, you still there?

ImPackin: I'm here. I think I'm going to go back to the hospital. I'll go crazy sitting around here.

HottieMama: What are you going to do there? Sit and worry?

ImPackin: That's what I'm doing now.

HottieMama: Why don't you come over here? We'll worry together.
