A/N Sorry this is going to be a short one.

Chapter Five:

Grissom entered the room where Warrick was playing a game against Alex. Sara, Nick, and Greg were all watching from behind the two and laughing a lot. Looking at the game he smiled they were playing Lilo and Stitch and obviously neither were any good. Warrick had no excuse, except for he was a bit old for the game, but Alex could hardly hold the controller because he was so young. Remembering that all the systems were down at the moment he sighed. "Alex ... I spoke with ... with you're ..."

"She told you," he whispered so softly they could hardly hear him.

"What," he asked confused. The chair spun around. Warrick took the controller from him turning off the game.

"Can I see your bugs," he asked softly. "Or does she not want me too?"

"Yeah," he smiled and reached his hand out. The small hand went into the bigger hand and he had to bend a little to walk with him. The others look at each other at the un-Grissom like moment.

"Let's get back to work," Warrick said confused. Standing they all headed out of his office.

"Oh wait we need to stop by Grissom's office. The … um …" she held up the divorce papers and blushed slightly. The others gave her a small smile and they walked that way. Placing the paper in the black box outside his office they over heard Grissom cheerfully telling the little boy about his favorite tarantula, Cat.

"That is so cool Mr. … daddy," they heard Alex say and they all gasped. Walking away from the door quickly the entered the layout room with all the case photos and information in it.

"So … I … did … but …" Sara said destroying the long silence. They all looked at her and she seemed hurt. "Guys … if Alexander is Grissom's son …"

"And Flynn is the mom," Nick interrupted.

"Then they knew each other before now," Greg continued.

"Meaning she would have to be someone …" Warrick looked up from the picture he was looking at and turned it around. They all recognized it as victim seven. "Catherine Willows."

"Um … Warrick you on the same track as us," Sara asked.

"Yes … well I am further ahead on the track," he placed the picture down. "We suspected it earlier this confirms it." The heard her voice coming from the hallway and looked up. She was on the cell phone to someone.

"Sir I've been working this case for fourteen months now," she spoke in a logical tone. "Remove me from this case would compromise everything. It's not like I haven't touched everything already … no one else has to know … we don't have to pin him for that … he doesn't even know it's me … what did you expect sending me to Vegas. I warned you he would figure it out … I wouldn't be surprised. They are all great CSIs and I would be shocked if they hadn't figured it out by now … Sir hold on a sec," she placed her hand on the mouth piece as Archie approached her. "What you got for me?"

"Well I did get some background noise but I can't really make it out. Maybe if I work on it some more I can but I'm not sure. You want to watch," he asked. "I was just taking a break."

"Um … I'll be there in a minute I want to listen to what you have," she placed the phone back to her ear. "I told you about the message on the answering machine … yeah he knows I'm here but he doesn't know its me … well it is but Archie has been able to get some background noise now all I need to do is listen to it … sir just … no. I made a commitment and I plan to stick by it … thank you sir … of course I will bye," she hung up and looked into the room of watching CSIs. Looking at the photo by Warrick's hand she turned and left.

"What … that … guys …" Greg looked at everyone smiling. "It really is her. She is back. I … am I dreaming?"

"No buddy," Warrick's voice was cold. Everyone looked at him confused they all thought he would be the most happiest that Catherine would be back but yet he was upset.

"Rick what's wrong?"

"She's going to hurt him again," he looked at Sara. "No offence Sara but you married a guy whose heart lay else where. A guy whose heart will be broken once again."

"Yeah … I know," she frowned and went back to looking through the case file. They joined her.

Catherine entered the A/V lab and sat down next to Archie. He pressed play. The original message couldn't be heard but some other sort of noise could be heard. "Move a sec," she asked and he obeyed. Pulling on headphones she turned the volume up a bit and indicated he should press play again. Though he and no one else could hear anything she heard it perfectly. The noise had been hustle and bustle within a building. Then she heard it.

"Did you hear about that Tattoo killer," a man's voice said. She furrowed her brow in confusion. Then she heard a voice she clearly recognized.

"Yeah body in Vegas. Now that should get on Grissom's nerves," he said. Though his voice sounded a bit different as if he had sucked up some helium a couple minutes ago she recognized the voice easily. Conrad Ecklie. Throwing off the headphones she rushed from the room and to DNA. Mia was shocked.

"Only CODIS is down right," she asked. After Mia nodded she smiled. "Good I need you to run your DNA samples up against people within the lab. They aren't in CODIS right? Or has this lab not gotten the new system for just those within the lab?"

"We got it but why?" She asked.

"Just do it please," she said then rushed from the room. Shrugging Mia went to work. A couple minutes later she appeared in prints. "Hey run those prints you found threw the new system?"

"The one for people in the lab? But why?"

"Just do it," she ordered. "When your done don't look at the results. And come give them to me," she said then went to tell Mia the same thing.

A/N Yes I know this is very short but ... well I couldn't really think much on this story. Let's just say I have another story idea and it is really starting to get on my nerves! Well please review even though it's short.
