Chapter Two-The Argument

Grissom's house 11:00 a.m., Grissom had drove Catherine back to her house and took Lindsey back to his.

"So Lindsey do you want something to eat or do you want to watch some TV?" asked Grissom shutting the door as he walked in.

"I'll watch TV," replied Lindsey quietly.

Lindsey went into the living room and turned on the TV, and was flipping through the channels until she found a movie which she had seen before but liked it soooooo much.

"When is my mom coming back?" asked Lindsey quietly when Grissom walked into the living room.

"Soon when she has got some stuff from your house, she didn't want you with her just in case your dad came home," replied Grissom.

Lindsey shuddered when her dad was mentioned by Grissom, Grissom noticed this and pulled Lindsey into a hug.

Lindsey sat on the couch staring at the TV but not watching it.

Catherine's house 11:30 a.m., Catherine had finished packing her stuff and was now in Lindsey's room packing some clothes and stuff that she would take around to Gil's when Eddie came home.

"Catherine get but down here now!" yelled Eddie when he walked in the door.

"Make me you bastard!" yelled Catherine in reply.

Catherine could hear Eddie thumping up the stairs.

"Oh shit I shouldn't have done that," said Catherine to herself.

Eddie stormed into Lindsey's bedroom and grabbed Catherine by her hair.

"What do you say?" asked Eddie.

"I'm sorry," replied Catherine sarcastically.

"Say it like you mean it," said Eddie, pulling Catherine closer to him.

"I'm sorry," replied Catherine without the sarcasm.

"That's better," said Eddie throwing Catherine to the floor.

Catherine got up off the floor and rubbed her head as she did so.

"How could you do that to my baby?" asked Catherine yelling at Eddie.

"Do what?" asked Eddie sarcastically in reply.

"You know what I'm fucking talking about," said Catherine pissed off at Eddie now.

"No I don't know, what are you talking about?" asked Eddie in reply.

"You raped Lindsey god knows how many times and I have forensic evidence to prove it," said Catherine.

"Oooooo evidence do I look scared, I don't think so," replied Eddie sarcastically.

"So you don't care if you go to jail for this?" asked Catherine.

"I don't care she was good just like you are," replied Eddie.

"I loved you but now you make me sick you pig," said Catherine, grabbing the two bags off the bed which contained hers and Lindsey's stuff and walked out of the room then practically ran down the stairs out the door and into her car and drove off back to Gil's house.

Gil's house 12:03 p.m., Catherine knocked on the door; Gil opened it and moved out of the way so Catherine could come in. Catherine placed the two bags down in the hall and walked into the living room.

"Lindsey mommy's back," said Catherine softly, walking over to the couch and sitting down.

"Hi," replied Lindsey not in her usual cheerful voice but in a saddened fear-filled voice, this voice made Catherine even angrier with Eddie.

"I'm sorry daddy did this to you, I'm sorry for not noticing and not being there for you," said Catherine pulling Lindsey onto her lap, tightly hugging her and kissing her forehead.

"Mom please don't leave me," replied Lindsey fear and sadness still present in her voice.

"I won't baby I won't," said Catherine soothingly.

Gil walked into the living room and sat on the couch next to Catherine. Catherine rocked Lindsey back and forth until she fell asleep.

"You alright?" asked Gil.

"Yeah I'm fine but I don't know about Lindsey," replied Catherine.

"She'll be alright as long as you're with her and Eddie stays away from her," said Gil reassuringly.

"Yeah, since you mentioned Eddie when I was at my house packing some stuff, Eddie came home and we started arguing. Then he threw me to the floor then we argued more then I ran out of the house so he wouldn't hurt me," replied Cath.

Gil pulled Catherine into a hug resting his hand on the back of her head when he did so she flinched.

A little while later Lindsey stirred in her sleep but soon settled down again.

"Do you want something to eat or drink?" asked Gil.

"I think I'll have something to eat I haven't eaten since yesterday," replied Catherine.

"What would you like to eat?" asked Gil.

"Anything's fine," replied Catherine.

"Is pasta okay?" asked Gil.

"Yeah pasta's fine," replied Catherine lying Lindsey down on the couch and getting up then walked into the kitchen and sat on the bench next to where Gil was standing.

"So…how was Lindsey while I was gone?" asked Catherine.

"She was quietly watching TV but I don't think she was actually watching it," replied Gil.

"Normally she would be sitting right in front of the TV but I can't blame her for acting like this," said Catherine.

"You can blame Eddie for her behavior," replied Gil.
