A/n- sorry for the delay, I was debating whether to include this episode in my fic. I hope you like it. Review and let me know what you think. Thanks!

"I can't believe you called! I actually got you outside of work."

"This is nice."

"I don't normally date women from work but there was ... something about you. And it definitely wasn't your perfume."

"I cannot believe you brought that up!"

"Yeah, that… that… that… uh… day we met that-that was, that was very gross." She paused and continued talking about the time they met, "Um... I mean, not for me but for everyone else... for you..."

Sara heard the chiming of the door opening and she looked to see who had just walked in the diner. Catherine Willows Walked into the diner accompanied by a man Sara had never seen before. Sara couldn't help but feel a little jealous when she saw them walk in together. She never realised how long she was staring at Catherine until Hank said something,

"Isn't that one of your co- workers?"

"Yeah." She said plainly. Why was Catherine here? Sara would have never expected to see someone like Catherine in this diner. They continued eating and making small talk. Sara's mind was still focused on the two people siting at the bar behind her. Did Catherine even see her when she walked in? She finally decided to forget Catherine was there when she heard her famous high heels echoing off the floor. She froze instantly when she saw her walk by. Bu then she saw Catherine slide something on the table in front of her. It was a glass of ice. She looked up at Catherine who was already out the door. She turned and looked at the glass a little harder. There was a finger inside. What the hell was going on, Sara wondered? Catherine was out with some random guy carrying a random finger in her pocket? Sara was confused and she still stared at the class.

"Is that a finger?" Hank said stubbornly. Sara picked up the glass just to confirm the facts. Sara ran outside to see Catherine but she was already in a car that Sara had never seen. As she sped off Catherine looked at Sara through the window of the car and winked at Sara. At first Sara thought she was being hit on but then she realised, under the circumstances, that was not the case. Catherine looked worried and that made Sara's face drop into sadness. She looked at the finger again as if this was all a dream but knew it wasn't. She went inside to apologise to Hank because she had to cancel the rest of their date to go back to the lab.

While they were trying to solve the case, Sara found it quite ironic that Catherine knew where she would be that night. She said her thought of it aloud and Nick, who was behind her said he knew as well that Sara had a date. She knew who told. Warrick Brown. She told him she was going on a date with Hank and he was the only one who knew. She turned around and playfully punched his shoulder. Although she didn't want everyone knowing she was going on a date she was somewhat glad Catherine knew otherwise they still wouldn't know she was missing.

The case was solved. It turned out Catherine had been kidnapped for many hours with a psycho man who killed the woman he was having an affair with. That scared Sara to know Catherine was pulled into his trap with the honest intention to help him. He drove her all around the desert putting her in danger whole time. When everyone asked Catherine insisted she was fine but Sara knew better. Catherine had a look of fear on her face when she came to the diner.

Sara walked to her car to go home when she saw a figure leaning against and SUV. Not a manly form but a small slender form, Catherine Willows. Sara walked up to her and stood in front of Catherine trying to see her facial features in the dark night. She had tears running down her face but stopped once Sara arrived.

"Catherine."

"Hi."

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

"Catherine?"

"Okay, it was a little scary." Her voice crackled slightly.

"Oh Catherine." Sara said pulling the blond into a tight embrace. Catherine cried a little in Sara's arms and Sara just rubbed her back. She felt terrible for her. She began to whisper,

"I wanted to help him. I believed him at first. I trusted him. Then, halfway through I got a little scared. I didn't know what to believe. I just was thinking of Lindsey the whole time. If I never came back, if he kill…"

"Cath, please don't say stuff like that." Sara pleaded. She did not want to have the thought of finding Catherine dead out in the middle of nowhere in her head. Those thoughts made her shiver.

"Thank you, but I have to go home now." She said suddenly pulling away from Sara.

"Do you want me to take you home?"

"No, I'll go alone." She said harsher than she wanted to.

"Take care Catherine." Sara said walking back to her car and leaving.

Catherine just watched her leave. She wondered how bad she screwed up with the brunette. Would their relationship ever be mended? Catherine got into her car and went home to her daughter.
