Catherine was frantically pacing the break room. She had been thrown out of interview as all she couldn't control her emotions after Brass began questioning where Alice got the poison from.
"Catherine" called Hodges appearing in the doorway and backing off as she sent a death look flying his way.
"What?" she snapped
"Nick has something," he answered before leaving. Catherine stomped out he room and into the next one to find Nick and Warrick gathered around a computer screen.
"What you got" asked Catherine anger still in her voice.
"Cath what the hells up with you, were all stressed but." Nick trailed of as Warrick gave him a look that told him to shut up.
"What's up? What's up is it's supposed to be me OK," she shouted waving her arms around and pacing again.
"I'm supposed to be he one laying in a coma" she said this time quieter coming to a stand still as tears formed in her eyes.
"But it's not" said Warrick placing a hand on her shoulder and sitting her down.
"It should be…….I was horrible as usual and it should have been me"
Warrick looked at Nick not to sure what she meant.
"I shouted at Sara again in front of Grissom and several police officers…I shouldn't have. I' not used to working with other women, I guess I get a bit territorial. She's always been good to Lindsey…and to me."
"Cath, Sara's just as bad as you, that's why you get on so well. Warrick and me argue all the time. I seem to remember you telling Grissom you argue and then get on with things"
"What if she doesn't' know that I don't mean it, that I really like her" sighed Catherine
"I think if she didn't you two would have pulled each others hair out in the middle of the lab by now" smiled Nick
"Hair? I think they would have smacked each other," added Warrick smiling along with Cath.
"Ok so what did you get?" asked Cath looking at Nick
"One of Alice's many boyfriends. Jake West he works at a research lab at desert palms. He also gave her an alibi but then withdrew it on her murder case" said Nick pointing to the screen.
"He has reason to, Alice could be threatening him for backing out and he has the opportunity" smiled Cath
"I think we should go pay Jake a visit"
Warrick was stood tapping his fingers on the side waiting for the person in charge to come and speak to him.
"Jake's on his break he'll be back in about ten minutes" Cath announced coming back to where Nick and Warrick were waiting.
"Hello I'm Steve I'm in charge what can I help you with" asked the balding man walking up to Warrick and shaking his hand.
"Were with the crime lab, we want to talk to Jake"
"He's on break"
"We know, we would also like to know if he's been working with the meningitis virus"
"Hang on" the man reached through a window and grabbed a clipboard.
"Yes he was working in the research lab last week, he'll have had access to it. What's this about because he's a good worker just clumsy?"
"Clumsy?" asked Nick
"Yer he has a lot of accidents"
"Yer right" another man walked up
"And you are?" asked Cath
"Mr Renalds, I'm the manager"
"And your opinion on Jake is what?"
"That he's steeling drugs. Whenever he's on drug always go missing, whether by accident or not been logged. I've started a internal inquiry"
"And was there any accidents while he had access to the virus?"
"Yes, I figured that was just a accident. I mean what would he want something potently lethal for?"
"Poison. I'm going to need to see your accident log book," announced Warrick been lead away by the man.
The nurse opening the door made Grissom snap out the daydream he was in.
"There's phone call for you" she smiled brightly.
"I'll be back soon" Grissom spoke to Sara placing her hand back on the side of her bed before leaving.
"Grissom"
"Catherine what can I help you with"
Catherine was surprised by the optimistic tone in his voice, apparently sleeping helped him a lot more than she thought.
"Grissom we've got them. Alice Brando poisoned her for revenge. We've got the person who supplied her with the virus as well Brass is interviewing them now"
"Thank you" said Grissom a hint of joy on his voice.
"Gil there's something else you should know" Catherine paused "they meant to poison me. It was a mistake" Cath awaited Grissom response
"Ok"
"Gil I'm sorry"
"For what?"
"Sara"
"Did you poison her? No. It happened the only person's fault it is this Alice, not yours. I better get back" and with that he hung up leaving Catherine not to sure who to blame anymore.
Grissom was sat starring out the window he had drifted of into his own world when he felt a pressure on his hand.
"Hi Sara" he answered as if this was perfectly normal. "Hang on" he suddenly realised what was happing.
"Sara" he saw her eyes flutter "it's ok" he lent forward and pushed the call button and two nurses came in.
"She's waking up" he said excitedly as her eyes stayed open.
