Greg was charging ahead of the others taking long strides while carefully avoiding what used to be footprints. The rain had almost washed them away and they had now become nothing but small muddy holes. Warrick and Nick were running behind Greg, Nick was on the radio talking to Grissom and Brass.
"GUYS" it was then Greg's voice broke through the howling wind. He had come to a standstill at the top of a sharp rock face they had barely managed to scale. Warrick caught up panting hard in the wind. Greg just stood simply pointing to a dead body. Nick came up behind them when a cracking noise came from under his feet. He looked down and picked the object up.
"It's Cath's," he announced holding the mobile phone in the air. Warrick looked around seeing what looked like drag marks against the edge of the face.
"Nick call Grissom, I think there was a struggle" that was it Greg was off. He didn't know or care where. He had to find Sara. He set off full pelt around the side of the steep face his eyes carefully trained on the edge of the slope.
"GREG" Warrick shouted after him but he either couldn't hear or wasn't listening. Nick stood looking down after being instructed by Grissom to stay put he couldn't see any sign that Catherine or Sara were there. Of course there wasn't going to be one as the sound they first thought to be the raging wind turned out to be raging waters below them. The flood area had turned into a fast flowing river, Nick couldn't bear to think where Cath and Sara where if they were down there.
"He's gone, damn" Warrick kicked the side of the rocks angry with himself and Greg.
"He hasn't even got the radio"
"He'll be ok" Nick reassured both himself and Warrick.
"Listen I'll go look you wait here for Grissom" said Warrick disappearing.
Catherine could no longer feel any of her extremities. Her hands were curled tightly into fists and her body had retreated to its natural defence position, as she lay curled into the foetal position. The wind and rain numbed her back. Thoughts raced through her mind, thoughts of dying and remembering how she hadn't put the bin out this morning.
"Don't be stupid" she spat to herself her voice quivering. The one thought that terrified her was that she might never see her daughter again. That she would never be able to put things right with her, she would never get the chance to use what Sara had told her. That was when it hit her she had failed Sara. She lay sobbing to herself chocking on the salty tears that ran into her mouth.
"CATH" Warrick shouted over the raging wind "SARA" Catherine began laughing to herself she had lost it. She could swear she heard Warrick's voice calling her any minute she would start seeing palm trees she laughed again. Then a light shone through the trees in the distance.
"Warrick?" Cath questioned quietly.
"GREG" wait why was Warrick shouting Greg, was it even him? was she just mad. The light swung round the trees again.
"WARRICK" she croaked barley louder than a whisper. Then she realised what to do. She could see the light swinging around in the distance. She still had her gun in her holster where she had failed to reach it in time.
"CATHERINE, SARA" cried Warrick stumbling through the undergrowth.
BANG, a gunshot pierced his ears, he knew it was near by her could tell. He swung round his hand ready on his own. Then his light hit upon a pale form trembling on the floor in the distance barley visible through the rain he didn't know who it was or if they had been shot. He ran as fast as he could his feet seemed to fly as his heart pounded in his throat. Once he got near enough he could make out the person laying so fragile on the floor.
"CATH" he ran over checking her first for bullet wounds but soon saw that her gun was gripped in her hands.
"Warrick, Sara" Catherine mumbled.
"Ok Cath it's ok" he reassured her grabbing his radio.
"Grissom I've found Catherine about half a mile east of Nick's position, were going to need a ambulance. Over"
"Warrick were on our way, is she able to move or do we need the helicopter, over" Came Grissom's familiar calm voice.
"I think she can move"
"The EMT's are on route"
"Warrick is Sara with her?" came Nick's frantic voice.
"No. Man" replied Warrick putting the radio down.
"Cath" he whipped his coat of and wrapped it around her shaking form pulling her close to him. "Give me the gun" Warrick had his hand just below hers that still clung onto her gun. Slowly she realised it into his arms and a fresh wave of sobbing racked her body.
"Sara, hill" she panted before slipping towards unconscious.
"STAY WITH ME" Warrick shuck her gently pulling her closer still.
"Sara" she mumbled again as shouting was heard in the distance.
"Were going to find her ok, just stay with me" Warrick spoke with a clam exterior that hide the fact his hands shuck nearly as violently as hers.
"CATH" called Nick racing up with two EMT's. Nick pulled Warrick away as blankets were wrapped around Cath. A helicopter was heard overhead.
"We thought it would take to long to get her back" said Nick patting Warrick's shoulder as he pulled him away. IV lines were placed into Catherine and an oxygen mask over her face. She pushed it out the way.
"Please Sara" she spoke softly before losing consciousness. She was loaded onto a board and blanket wrapped around her the edges blowing in the winds. The helicopter swayed violently as she and an EMT were hocked on and lifted up.
"You want to go?" asked Nick looking at Warrick.
"No, I want to find Sara" he replied
"We will," said Brass who came up behind them over hearing the conversation. "Her and Greg" he finished as the chopper carrying Catherine faded into the distance.
"But you need to get to the hospital, she'll need you when she wakes up" Warrick was about to protest when he realised it was the right thing to do.
"Call Me," he said before running back towards the cars.
"And find them" he shouted before leaving their view.
