The day after Catherine finds out, a crime scene:

"Grissom, did the police take the little girl somewhere?"

"What little girl?"

"The girl in the picture."

"What picture?"

"This picture."

"Oh, I don't know ask Sara."

"Sara…"

"Yeah?"

"I assume the girl in this picture is the victims daughter so where is she?"

"I don't know."

"Come with me."

"Where are we going?"

"Upstairs."

"Why the crimes scene is downstairs."

"I know, but we're missing a little girl."

"Ok."

The women trot up the stairs, Catherine takes the rooms on the right, and Sara takes the rooms on the left.

"I don't see anyone in here." Sara yells from across the hall.

"Check under the bed, and in the closet."

"Ok."

Catherine has already checked under the bed, and it's obvious that the room she is in belongs to the girl. She goes to the closet and opens the door, at first she doesn't see anything, but then she notices a misplaced shoe among the pile of clothes lying on the floor. She throws all the clothes out of the closet into the room behind her. At the bottom she finds the pot of gold.

"Hi sweetheart are you ok?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"I'm with the Crime Lab can you tell me what happened?"

"No, I don't really know a few minutes after I got back from school I heard something downstairs, at first I just figured my mom bumped into something, but then I heard some guys voice so I hid in the closet."

"How long have you been in here?"

"Since 4:30 I think."

"You've been in there a long time it's midnight."

"It is?"

"Yeah, do you have anyone you could stay with tonight?"

"Yeah, my grandma lives a few doors down."

"Did you call 9-1-1?"

"Yeah but my phone battery went dead."

"Ok, why don't I have one of the police officers take you to your grandma's?"

"Ok."

Catherine escorts the girl outside via the back door where she doesn't have to see her mother.

"Brass, can you have someone take her to her grandma's?"

"Sure, Smith will you take… what's your name sweetie?"

"Caitlin."

"Caitlin to her grandmothers?"

"Sure."

"Where does your grandma live Caitlin?"

"Just a few houses down."

"Ok this officer will walk you there."

"Ok, thank you."

Catherine walks back into the house.

"Where was she?" Grissom asks.

"In her closet."

"Was she here when it happened?"

"Yeah, she tried to call 9-1-1, but her phone wasn't charged."

"So who called?"

"The nosey next door neighbor. She was supposed to take Caitlin to ballet with her daughter, but when she called to see if Caitlin was ready no one answered, so then she noticed the victim's car was in the driveway so she came over. The door was open and she saw Shelly on the floor and called 9-1-1."

"You know this how?"

"I talked to the neighbor."

"So what time was ballet?"

"Until 8, but the husband ended up taking the daughter."

"So why didn't she call until 11?"

"She went to pick her son up at 10 and when she got back at 11 she noticed the car was out."

"So why didn't she call when no one answered the phone."

"Because if Caitlin decides for whatever reason she doesn't want to go to ballet they just don't answer the phone, so she figured Caitlin just didn't want to go to ballet."

"Oh."

The following day Caitlin comes in to answer a few questions.

"So Caitlin would any one want to hurt your mom? Like a boyfriend or ex?"

"When you say ex you mean like my dad?"

"I guess." Catherine replies.

"My dad couldn't have killed my mom."

"Why?"

"He died when I was 8."

"Oh, did your mom have a boyfriend? Or someone who didn't like her?"

"She didn't really have a boyfriend per say…"
"Is there any one who would have wanted her dead?"

"Um… well one of the guys she works with maybe."

"Why?"

"She was pregnant with his kid."

"Are you sure she was pregnant?"

"Yeah she's like 3 months…"

"So does this guy have a name?"

"Yeah … Jimmy Elliot."

"Thank you."

Jimmy's work:

"Are you Jimmy Elliot?" Sara asks.

"Yeah can I help you?"

"As a matter of fact you can. You can let us have a sample of your dna." Catherine says.

"What for?"

"Well we're with the crime lab, and you're a suspect in the murder of Shelly Powell." Catherine responds.

"Why would I kill her?"

"You tell us, anything about Shelly just really piss you off?" Catherine asks.

"Look I wouldn't hurt Shelly."

"Why not?" Sara asks.

"Because she was having my kid."

"You see Jimmy that's a double edged sword, see what I think happened was you were pissed off because you didn't want to be stuck with a kid." Catherine huffs.

"Look lady Shelly and I weren't close or anything… one night her kid was at a friends and we had a few beers…"

"And then a while later you find out she's having your kid and you're so pissed off you decide to kill her." Sara states as if it's a fact.

"It wasn't like that."

"Catherine where are you going?"

"I'll be right back." Catherine says as she scampers off to the nearest bathroom, when she comes out Sara is waiting for her in the car. Catherine hops in the drivers seat.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah I'm fine."

"So what was all of that about in there?"

"Nothing don't worry about it."

"Fine."

"So did he give you a DNA sample?"

"No."

"Didn't figure he would."

"It's pretty bad that you would kill someone but it's even worse knowing that, that person was having your kid."

"People are creeps."

"You know murder is the #1 killer of pregnant women."

"I know Sara."

"Catherine you don't look so good."

"I'm fine." Catherine says as she hops out of the car and runs to a trash can in the parking lot just out of Sara's sight. When she comes back Sara looks at her with a 'what's going on?' look.

"Are you ready to go?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Catherine what's going on?"

"Nothing."

"That's bull shit and you know it."

"Look Sara it's none of your business."

"Catherine I'm not trying to be in your business, I'm just worried about you is all. I mean you just don't act yourself lately."

"Sara drop it, or walk back to the lab, because I'm not in the mood today."

"Fine."

As soon as they return to the lab they turn around to search the suspect's home.

"I don't think we've even gotten a warrant that fast."

"I doesn't matter, all that matters is that we got it."

The suspect's home: Catherine is in the living room, and Sara is in the bedroom.

"Hey Catherine come here."

"What is it?"

"Jimmy's Instant messenger record."

"I'm coming." After entering the bedroom Catherine asks, "Who's steelman09?"

"Steve James."

"So the victim didn't tell Jimmy she was pregnant, Steve did."

"So why would this Steve person tell Jimmy?"

"Maybe because Shelly was afraid to tell Jimmy so she asked a friend to do it for her."

"Why would she be afraid to tell him?"

"Have you ever been pregnant?"

"No."

"Ok, you wouldn't understand then, I remember when I first found out I was pregnant with Lindsay I was terrified what her dad was going to say, because he was irresponsible, and I figured he wouldn't want a kid."

"Look at this, it's a message from Jimmy to Shelly."

"He was pretty angry I mean look at what he wrote."

"Scroll down."

"Ok."

"Look this is from 4 o'clock yesterday."

"Don't go anywhere I'm coming over… we need to talk."

"So we know that he was there or at least he said he was going to be there."

"I'll print it and have an arrest warrant in 15 minutes."

"10."

"You're on."

Interrogation:

"So Jimmy why'd you do it?"

"I didn't do it I wasn't even there yesterday, I don't get off until 5."

"Who said she was killed before 5?"

"I…"

"I think you got off early yesterday, and then you told her you were coming over to talk."

"I… didn't go over there yesterday."

"Yeah you did."

"Says who?"

"Says the evidence."

"What evidence?"

"You're bloody boot print, and your fingerprints on the weapon found at the crime scene to kill Shelly Powell."

"Why would I kill her?"

"Because she was having your baby and you were pissed off because you're too young to get saddled with a kid right?"

"Look I didn't go there to kill her, I just wanted to talk."

"And then she said something that really set you off right?"

"Yeah, she told me she was having twins."

"So you killed her?"

"Look I didn't realize what I'd done till she was dead."

"You stabbed her 9 times, how did you not know what was going on?"

"I never meant to kill her I just didn't want her to have my frickin kid."

"So you stabbed her?"

"I figured if she lost enough blood she'd have a miscarriage."

"You're one stand up guy Jimmy."

Later on in the locker room: Sara is putting on a clean shirt when she hears a weird noise coming from one of the stalls. She listens for a minute and then figures out what's going on. She walks over to the stall and waits, the sound stops and Catherine comes out.

"Sara what are you doing?"

"What's going on?"

"I told you it's none of your damn business, if you'll excuse me I have to brush my teeth."

"Catherine don't do this, don't shut everyone out let someone help. You can't just keep it all bottled up inside."

"Sara leave me alone."

"No."

"Why can't you just drop it?"

"The same reason you slave over a case until you find the answer."

"It's not the same."

"Maybe not, but you can't just go home and pretend everything is all right, because you know it isn't."

"Look Sara this isn't work related, we don't have to talk about it."

"I know it isn't work related, but we're off the clock you can talk to me from one person to another, not co-worker to co-worker. Catherine I just want to help."

"You can't help."

"I can try."

"How?"

"You can tell me whatever it is that's on your mind because whatever it is you need to get it off your chest before it starts to interfere with your work, I've been there and done that and it simply doesn't work."

"The whole problem is that I screwed up and now I have to try to fix it and it isn't that simple to fix."

"Catherine just tell me you'll feel better."

"No Sara because once I do you'll try to fix it and I don't need that right now."

"No I won't."

"Fine, I'll tell you, but if you tell anyone else I'll kill you."

"And no one will ever figure out it's you, I get the picture just tell me."

"I'm pregnant."

"I know."

"Then, but… who… how?"

"Catherine…"

"How long have you known?"

"A while, I realized something was wrong a while back when we were at a crime scene and you ran out to the ditch and puked after seeing blood. Then I thought about it for a while and figured that that was the only possible explanation, because I've never seen you puke, you can handle anything and it doesn't bother you."

"That's not true. I can handle anything work related, I've always been able to, but everything else is different I can't do anything right I do things without thinking I'm too impulsive for my own good."

"Catherine it isn't a big deal that you're pregnant, it happens."

"Yeah, but Sara I can't do this I've got Lindsay almost raised and now I get to start all over again, I can't do by myself but I have to because there aren't any other options. I thought I finally had everything under control. I finally made it to where I wanted to be at work, and Lindsay finally started talking to me again, I got out of debt. I was at a good point in my life I finally realized I don't need a man to make me happy I just don't think I can do this. Sara I'm too old to do this again I'll never get any sleep… what am I supposed to do?"

"Breathe first of all, Catherine you don't have to do this alone you have so many people to help you that have your back."

"I know, but it's so complicated Sara."

"Why?"

"Because I can't stand to come to work."

"What does work have to do with all of this?"

"Everything."

"I don't understand."

"Sara Warrick is…"

"Is what?"

"The…."

"Oh… how?"

"It happened after we got back from the hospital when Nick was kidnapped he drove me home, and I offered him a drink and…."

"Oh, does he know?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I'm not going to tell him either."

"Why?"

"It wasn't his fault we got drunk it was mine especially since I'm the one who offered him a drink."
"You should tell him."

"I know I should but I'm not going to."

"Ever, or just now?"

"Ever."

"Don't you think it'll be kind of hard?"

"I don't know, look I've got to get home I'm tired."

"Ok."
