Dumpy murder – Part 9
Grissom knocks on the farmers door, "Hello" He shouts, no answer, "Warrick, lets just go in, we have our warrant, and this case requires…haste" He turns the handle, the door is unlocked, so they enter. "Well, this place looks very…robbed, he probably took something from here, let's look around"
Grissom walks up the stairs while Warrick searches the main floor. Warrick looks in the fridge, the milk was still fresh, so the farmer still lived there. When he hears a shout from the attic, "Warrick, I think I just found a bit of evidence" He slowly walks down the stairs and out the back door. "The farmer is as sloppy as I thought he was" He points up to a large tree.
Warrick Looks up to where Grissom pointed, "What would a cooler, be doing up in a tree?"
"That, is what I going to find out" He says, he take out his cell and calls 911, "Hello, may I speak to firemen please…yes, hello, I'm calling from a farm just on the coast of town. I need a ladder to get down a box from a tree, for a murder investigation, yes…hurry please, thank you"
"They sending a truck"
"Yep, all we gotta do is wait"
Just a few minutes later, they hear the sound of sirens from afar, as the get closer, Grissom moves to the road to show them in. They pull up next to the tree. Grissom hops in the cherry picker and it raises him up, he pulls the cooler into the cart, then proceeds to open it as he lowers.
"Cat!" Says Grissom looking at the bloodied up face of his comrade, "Are you okay?"
"So hungry…my head is throbbing…help…" She says, he voice wispy and weak, she then rests her head back.
"We need a medic!" He says, taking Catherine out of the box and helping her walk. He looks around.
"They took Nick somewhere else…he wasn't doing what they said, so they hit him with a club…animals…Then they took him" She says, looking around, "They opened the hole on the edge so air could get in… still hard to breathe in there"
A fireman walks up to Grissom and Catherine. He holds out a sandwich and says, "I brought my lunch with me, I was eating in on the way, but it looks like you need the rest more"
"Thanks" She says, taking the sandwich and immediately eating a bit, she immensely enjoyed the sandwich, like any starving person would do. Grissom leads them to Warrick, "Here, take Cat to a restaurant" He says, holding out fifty dollars. "She needs it, then get her home for some rest, I think she'll want to finish this case herself."
"Okay Grissom, you look around for clues, I'll take Cat for dinner, then take her home"
"Grissom," Says cat…"That hole was good for one other thing, while they were driving to the farm, to put me up there, him, the farmer, he was reading a newspaper… he had a hotel advertisement circled, for the Luxor"
"Good work Cat, relax now, you'll be able tom continue work tomorrow, unless you want another day off, but you deserve to finish this case, you… and Nick"
Warrick leads cat to his car, placing her in the passenger seat, then walking around to the drivers seat; he steps into the car. He drives down the road, and out of sight. Grissom thanks the firemen for their help, then runs quickly to the car.
"The Luxor?" Says Grissom, "That is a pretty easy place to get lost in, and that would be exactly what they want" He steps on the gas pedal and drives down the road.
Cut to commercial
This, was very possibly the hardest scene to come up with so far, Thanks Fayre, you've been constantly encouraging me to continue this story, thanks for adding me to your favourites. Now, the hardest thing to do was the emotions of Cat after the rescue, she would really be weak and scared, but her determination would have made her help out Grissom, which is why I added in evidence from her.
Thanks for all the reviews, hope you enjoyed reading this chapter!
