---------------- Scene Change

Disclaimer:: Yes, this plot was on NY CSI, the whole locked-in syndrome thing, but I put some kinks in it to make it more interesting. You'll just have to wait and find out what happens!

"What do you mean, 'locked-in syndrome?'" Grissom asked, finally breaking the silence.

"Locked-in syndrome is when you're paralyzed from the eyes down. It usually can only occur when the victim has undergone a serious injury. In this case, the killer tried to put the vic in locked-in syndrome by pressing vital pressure points on her neck. Unfortunately, it killed her instead of putting her in the paralyzed state. You have to be very skillful to do this. Only a doctor or surgeon would be able to do this." Sara said, saying every bit of information to Grissom.

"I'll be right back. Keep inspecting the D.B." Grissom said, leaving the autopsy room quickly.

Walking to the front of the building, the parents were still there, thankfully.

"Excuse me, I've got one more question for you. Did your daughter ever volunteer at a clinic or hospital?" Grissom asked the stunned parents.

"How did you know? She used to work in a hospital." The father said, his eyes widening.

"Did she have any friends at the hospital?" Grissom asked, his urgency showing in his voice.

"Yes. This one boy....what was his name? Oh yeah, Kurt Linelle. What has this got to do......." The father asked, just as Grissom went out the door of the building.

Grissom arrived at the police station in about 10 minutes, eager to find Brass. Walking in to the police station, he found Brass instantly.

"What's up? You look distressed." Brass asked, turning to Grissom.

I need you to bring someone in. I need to question him. He's now officially a suspect. Name is Kurt Linelle. Worked where my vic worked." Grissom said, urgently.

"We'll bring him in." Brass said, leaving quickly out of the door to go pick up Kurt.

"I told you, I don't know Kala!" Kurt yelled, sitting in the interrogation room. Brass had picked up Kurt at work and brought him to the CSI Headquarters.

"Then how do you explain this?" Grissom said, showing him the pictures the marks on her neck. "We found your fingerprints all over her. Explain that!" Grissom yelled.

"Grissom, calm down. Look, why don't you cool down and come back in 5?" Brass said, pulling Grissom towards the door.

"I don't need to. I've got no more questions." Grissom said, walking out of the room, slamming the door.

"We have a problem, Griss." Nick said, running towards him.

"What is it?" Grissom said, thoroughly annoyed.

"It's Catherine. We can't find her. I called her cell and someone picked up, but it wasn't her. We have to find her!" Nick said, his eyes flashing.

"We'll find her. It's just like the accident with Sara. She'll call sooner or later. Don't worry." Grissom said, trying to convince himself.

What's going on? This week is going downhill already. Damnit!

Nick thought his thoughts but didn't voice any of them. Following Grissom, they walked back into the interrogation room, knowing it wasn't the person they are holding who's doing this.

Okay, so Catherine is gone and Grissom is thoroughly pissed off. I know it's totally out of character, but I don't care. So don't you review me saying stuff like, "oh that's sooooooo out of character." I know. Please R&R! Constructive criticism is always the best policy. Thanks for all the NICE review. I could make it where Catherine dies or something so if you don't review, you know who will DIE! I'm soooooooooo nice...... not! Buwahahaha! just so ya know, I probably won't kill Catherine!
