Title : Secrets from their past..cahpter 2
Disclaimers.: Again with the rubbing it in my face. I don't own them so just stop rubbing cause my face is raw.
Summary: Supervisors Gil Grissom and Catherine Willows, are engaged. Gil and Catherine are called to a crime scene. Catherine soon realizes she knows the two victims found brutally attacked and let for dead. There is little evidence that can help them and the prime suspect is the victims fiance. Eddie Willows.
Gil turned to Catherine at the sound of Eddie's voice. " You want me to handle this?"
Catherine sighed and peered through the open window that gave her a full view of her ex-husband. " No." she replied " I'll do it.
Gil watched as Catherine closed her kit and headed back outside.
"No!" Eddie yelled " My fiance and my step daughter are in there, tell me what's going on or let me in."
Jim was trying to hold him back but wasn't doing to well. By the time Catherine got outside Eddie was being restrained.
Eddie looked up in time to see her approach them. Cath..Cath, tell them I live here tell them to let me go in and see them."
Eddie sighed and watched as Eddie was brought back to a standing position. Eddie, you know you can't go in there."
Eddie shook his head " No..Cathy and Kaley need me please I want to see them..I need.. to.." she slowly trailed off when he saw her expression.
"No.." he whispered " No. there not..their dead?"
Catherine stepped forward " I''m so sorry Eddie,"
Eddie just starred at her his eyes filling with tears. " I was late" he whispered " I should have been here."
Catherine stepped forward again as pulled him in to a hug. At this moment in time no matter what Eddie had done to her in the past didn't seem to matter. She felt for him as she pulled him close and let him cry on her shoulder.
"I'm sorry." she whispered " Were going to find out who did this. I promise."
Eddie?" Cath pulled away when Jim motioned to her " Eddie they need you to go down to the station."
Eddie looked over his shoulder. " He thinks I did this doesn't he?"
Catherine sighed " We don't think anything yet Ed, just go with him, I'm not going to pretend I know how you feel, and I know that this is the worst day of you're life but you need to help us here, anything you know that can help us."
Eddie sighed and nodded as he wiped his face clean " Yeah" he replied
"Will you come with?"
Catherine turned back to the house as if she was looking at Gil. " Yeah" she whispered "I 'll be right behind you."
Eddie head off with the officers and Catherine headed back into the house.
"How's he doing?" Gil greeted her
Catherine sighed " As expected, he's taking it hard, he's strong though, he'll be fine."
Gil nodded " Did he say anything?"
Catherine shook her head " He's gone down to the station with Jim, I am going to head over there, he wants me to be there for the questioning."
Gil nodded "Okay well the others have been called and they are on their way to help."
Catherine smiled and kissed him on the cheek " I'll see y you later?"
Gil nodded pulling her into a hug " Yeah, I'll call you a little later, or I'll just see you back at the lab. Love you" she whispered before pulling away.
"I love you too" he replied " Be careful"
Catherine nodded " I will."
When Catherine arrived back at the lab Eddie was already waiting in the interrogation room. She stalled for awhile and watched him through the one way glass. As she watched the seemingly distraught man she wondered if in fact he could be responsible for such a horrific crime.
Hoping with all she had that he was innocent she headed inside so Brass could start questioning.
Eddie quickly sat up when she appeared " Cath, you came"
Catherine nodded " I said I would be here Ed." she turned to Brass '"You ready?"
Jim Brass took a seat be side her and stared at Eddie.
Eddie looked back and forth from Catherine to Brass. " I know what you're thinking " he glared at Brass " You think I killed my fiance and her daughter."
Brass shrugged " Smart guy, maybe I do, but we are here to sort it out so why don't you start with telling me where you were all night?"
Eddie shook his head " This is ridiculous," he then turned and focused on Catherine " I was out with some friends, for a while, we went over the the French Palace. Around eleven thirty we left and we went over to the Acid Drop, it was a big change in atmosphere but no one seemed to mind. We were there for about an hour or so and then we left and we went out to the Rampart . I lost track of time and when we came out it was about two thirty. I had the guys drop me back at the French Palace to get my car and I drove home."
Brass looked over at Catherine and then back at Eddie did you drink?"
Eddie looked over at him and nodded " Of course I did but I wasn't drunk if that's what you're implying. What would that have to do with my fiance being killed?"
Brass sat back in his chair " Well, I don't mean to throw this in you're face but I know you Eddie and we all are aware of your temper when you would drink to much. And then you're ability to forget all of your attacks on your ex."
Eddie sighed " I've taken class for my anger I don't get mad like I used to anymore."
Brass nodded " So after Catherine you've never gotten drunk and hit anyone? Including your fiance and her daughter?"
Eddie slammed his fist on the table causing Catherine to jump. It was ironic that after all these years he still had the ability to scare her. " I have changed since losing Catherine " he turned back to her " I was an idiot for hurting you like I did but I changed, losing you helped me change. I would never have done anything or hurt Cathy or Kaley."
Catherine nodded" Eddie I don't think it's such a good idea that I be in here."
Bass cleared his throat "I agree" he added as Catherine got out of her chair.
Catherine opened the door an turned back " I'm going to call Gil and see how the processing is coming along."
Brass got up with her " You're not under arrest Eddie you can go if you want to but stay close when we find what we are looking for we'll be calling you real soon."
Gil slipped of his latex gloves and packed up his kit. He waited until the body was wheeled out of the room before following behind. "David" he called to him " Let doc know I'll be down asap this is a rather important case."
David nodded " I'll et him know and we'll be waiting."
Gil nodded and headed to Kaley's room to find the others
"I've got some hairs" Sara called over to Nick who was processing on the opposite side of the room. " There different then the vic's might be our killer's."
Nick didn't look up from his job but calmly replied " hopefully they are, they may be a match to the hairs Warrick found on the other vic."
Sara nodded to herself as she placed the hairs in her evidence bags. As she continued processing she retrieved the UV light and began scanning the bed sheets.
"Nothing" she finally she called out " If he raped the girl, he didn't do it in here."
Nick finally looked up. " Well judging by the marks on the floor in the hallway I am assuming at some point the mother was coming in to either check on her daughter or she knew he was here and was trying to protect her. So he injures her and drags her back to her bedroom."
Sara nodded " Well. I am about finished up, Ill be outside with Gil and Warrick."
Nick watched as she left the room and finished bagging the evidence he had uncovered.
Outside the other were waiting while Gil was speaking with a the neighbor who had called the police.
"Ma'am" he began " What exactly prompted you to call the police?"
The women leaned back on the police car and sighed " I told the other guy already, I was up late with me boyfriend, I was in the kitchen getting a drink of water and as you can see my kitchen window overlooks the bedroom window. I saw Cathy through the window, I seen her run out of her room, then the lights went out and I heard some screams and some things smashing to the ground, then there was silence. I thought maybe Eddie had finally killed her so I called the cops. That guy was a jerk, I bet it was him he would come home drunk and they would fight none stop, sometimes off and on until the wee hours of the morning. I just can't believe he followed through with his threats."
Gil thanked the women and headed back towards his team members. " Well, I guess we are finished her, let's head back to the lab."
