A/N Ok so short chapter, I'm hoping I can speed things along but my next chapter I'm finding a bit of a bore to write as I want to get straight into the juicy writing which will follow in the chapter after that but I have to go through story development first sigh with that said enjoy and I hope I have at least one person out there still reading.
"I don't think he's in Sara" Brass commented as she knocked loudly for the third time.
"He should be here, you should of seen the state he was in this afternoon, he could barely walk" Sara turned in frustration "I'm trying his cell phone" she commented as she fished hers out of her jacket pocket.
"Damn, I forgot to turn it back on after my meeting with Carvallo, what if he's been trying to call" Sara's phone started to ring, she punched the button to answer it and placed it to her ear. "It's Grissom" she mentioned to Brass before listening to the message. Brass stood and watched as her face went from looking frustrated to utter shock.
"So what did he say?" Brass questioned as she shut her phone
"Um, he said we needed to talk, he sounded upset, I've never heard him sound so unsure of himself, I'm worried Jim, what if he does something stupid like looking into this case and gets himself into trouble, he said that he had some information, we should give him call" she answered with concern etched in her voice
"I'll do it, just give me a sec" Brass requested as he started to press speed dial button his phone.
"Hey, Grissom it's Brass, I have Sara with me here, if you could give me a call when you get this, talk to you soon" Brass sighed as he put his phone back in his pocket. "Just his voicemail, look if it makes you feel any better I'll get the boys to keep a look out for his car, we need to talk to him anyway so it has to be easier than phone tag, now lets get you back to the lab" Brass motioned towards his car
Catherine had seemed to get hardly any further with the evidence, when Ecklie had wanted to be brought up to speed. After a frustrating hour he finally was happy with her progress so far and started voicing his theories.
"So the sedative used is found in several medications, one of the main ones being migraine relief, doesn't Grissom get migraines?" Ecklie questioned as he scanned the tox report
"Yes but without his prescription we can't test the chemical signature" Catherine replied in a dissatisfied tone, Ecklie was fishing for evidence to get Grissom fired not to find the actual killer.
"CSI Sidle and Detective Brass have gone to bring him in for questioning correct, we can ask him then" he answered in almost a smirk as he leaned back in his chair. "I'm going to get a coffee, page me when they bring him in" he commented over his shoulder as he left the room, leaving Catherine to smolder at what a jerk he actually was.
The look on Sara's face spoke volumes when Cath saw her enter the layout room. "He wasn't in and he's not answering his phone, any progress on the evidence" Sara asked as she slumped down on the desk
"Apart from proving Ecklie's a jerk, not really, do you still have those migraine pills of Grissom's?" Catherine asked looking at Sara's exhausted form
"Yeah, here, why?" Sara placed the bag in Catherine's hand
"Ecklie wants to prove that Grissom drugged his father with these. I want to prove him wrong, are you coming?" Catherine turned and left Sara to follow quickly behind.
After what seemed like an eternity they finally had their answer and it wasn't good. "I can't believe this are you sure?" Catherine waved the piece of paper in the air
"I've run it twice, they match the sedative signature of tox screen" Greg answered "I'm sorry Cath I don't want it to be true either"
Catherine stormed out of the room just as her cell phone started to ring
"Cath, they've found Grissom's car out by the ravine, no Grissom, get Sara it's raining outside any evidence that you guys might find has probably been washed away but if we're lucky there might be something left, I'll meet you at the scene"
Catherine grabbed her jacket and Sara as they sped out the door.
