Last time on CSI (in announcer voice sorry jut had to do that!)

"Do you ever shut up?" muttered Catherine.

"Not around you, I have to compete" Catherine turned around to face her.

"Compete?" she questioned.

"It's the only way I seem to get a response form you since.."

Sara trailed off.

( and now)

"No come on since what" asked Catherine continuing to tear at the coats.

"Since I failed you and Lindsey," she muttered. Catherine stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Sara.

"Failed me?" she questioned stopping what she was doing.

"Eddie" Sara simply stated

"Sara you didn't fail me" Catherine said beginning to tear at the coats again.

"I did. You and Lindsey I couldn't find who did it"

"Sara that's not your fault I know that. I know that I took a lot of it out on you but it's not your fault" said Cath as she began to tear the coats into strips.

"Then why is it you only ever talk to me when were on a case or to have a go!" Catherine was about to snap back that she didn't but after thinking about it, it was true. She had now finished tearing the coats into strips. So decided to change the subject.

"Right you ready? she asked

"Your never going to shut up about bringing those coats now are you," said Sara. Catherine could feel Sara's fingers shake as they clutched at her arm.

"I told you it was a good idea," she said.

"Ok Sara get ready" Catherine looked down at her leg again. Through the blood Catherine could make out a piece of bone pierced through the skin. She took a long strip of fabric and began to pull it under Sara's leg. Sara winced and tightened her grip on Catherine's arm. If it was going to hurt her it would Catherine as well.

"One, two, three" Catherine whispered to herself, as she got ready to pull the homemade bandage tight.

"ARGH" Sara nearly broke Cath's arm in half as the bone in her leg was forced into its rightful place. Tears ran down Sara's face and her arm and body shook as a wave of pain passed through it.

"Ok I'm just putting a few more round" Sara bit at her mouth as Catherine finished tying her leg. She placed two sticks from near by and tied fabric round them creating a homemade splint.

"What were you a girl guide or something?" Catherine ignored the comment and continued working.

"Done" she said wiping the tears away from Sara's face.

"Thanks" mumbled Sara. "Are you ok"?

"Well apart from a sprained ankle and a couple of grazes I think so" smiled Catherine helping Sara sit up and lean against her.

"Argh" Sara cried out in pain again

Catherine felt the warm flow of blood on her hands once more. Sara pulled her top up to revel a large cut across her abdomen.

"Any more bandages?" she asked. Catherine nodded and Sara lent back against her bracing herself as a coat sleeve was pulled around her middle.

"Good job your so skinny" smiled Catherine as she tied it off. Sara was now balanced lent against Catherine.

"So I guess were not going anywhere soon then" she said looking up at the rock face. "We'll have to wait for the others to find us." Replied Catherine "unless you happen to have you phone with you". Sara shuck her head.

"They don't know where we are"

"So they're CSI's even that lot can find us. Despite the fact they're missing the two best CSI's" Catherine smiled at Sara as she pushed herself away. Sara now sat lent against some nearby rocks.

"They might get to involved," she mumbled.

"Sara what you said earlier" Catherine didn't know exactly what to ask next.

"Cath it doesn't matter" said Sara placing a hand against her stomach wound.

"It does to me. What do you mean to have a go I know we argue sometimes but"

"Cath it's not just when we argue. You always treat me like I can't do my job because I don't do politics' or because I get to involved. Nick gets involved but I don't see you having a go at him"

"Nick has his reasons"

"Well did you ever think I might have mine!" shouted Sara. This took Catherine down a notch. She had always though it was just the way Sara was, confrontational.

"You get over involved if there's kids, Warrick if it's racial, Nick if he emphasis with the suspect or he gets angry. But if Sara gets involved oh no that's it shout at her make her look like a whack job. I keep forgetting that there's one rule for everyone else and another for me" tears were slowly falling down Sara's face after her rant.

"I come to work early, do over time. I get told to stop. Someone else does it and it's oh thanks for helping want to go for a drink. But then again that could be the problem, going for a drink" Sara was now in full rant mode and nothing was going to stop her.

"You know Warrick and Nick hardly spoke to me after the team split because they thought it might upset you. But then again what do I expect it's not like their my friends, why would I have friends. Do you know what's really sad? All I have is work. That's it work and I can't even seem to do that right. Grissom is the only person in the lab other than Greg who notices me. I could disappear for days and the only reason someone would cheek on me is because I missed work. How sad is that" Sara stopped pushing her hands to her face and wiping away the warm tears from her cheeks.

"You know sometimes I wish it would end. You know a suspect is still at a crime scene. I get shot, Grissom and Greg will greave for a bit then move on. It's not like it would make that much difference I'm only going to turn out like her" this disturbed Catherine that Sara had been in so much pain and she hadn't even noticed. Since the team got back together she had spent a lot of time worrying about Nick, everyone had. Was he ok to work the case, should he be out in the field? She thought back to when her and Sara had argued in the hall. She had only got away with it because she was senior and she sucked up to Ecklie. Secretly she had wanted to say to him exactly what Sara did. She thought back to more recently. All the times they had been at a crime scene. She had been watching Nick making sure he wasn't alone. Sara had been a shadow; she had been for some time. She'd come joke with Greg and Nick for a bit and do her job. She hardly saw Sara in the break room. She'd stay as long as possible work as many doubles as she could and yet still Sara had spoke to hardly anyone. Greg had asked for Catherine advice the other week because of her. He had thought that Sara might be depressed and Cath had replied if that was the case she shouldn't be given a gun. How much of a cold-hearted bitch must she be?

"Sara never and I mean never say anything like that. Nick has been sulking for ages because you haven't been around for him to flirt with. Warrick's upset because Nick is taking his sexual tension out by flirting with him" Sara managed a week smile at this. Catherine leant forwards and wiped tears away from her face rather like a mother would. "Grissom and Greg would completely break down without you and I would finally have to see what a bitch I've been"

"Your not a bitch" smiled Sara not too sure if she actually meant that.

"What did you mean end up like her?" asked Catherine remembering what Sara had said earlier. Sara took a deep breath and decided that now was a good a time as any to tell Catherine.

"My mother. My dad used to beat her. One night she lost it and killed him" quite unexpectedly Catherine pulled Sara into a hug.

"Sara you are a kind, loving and funny person. You could never turn out like that" Sara allowed her self to cry freely in front of Catherine as she held her.

"Thanks" she whispered.
