Heya again!
Well, again I have left this a long time, but I will make it up to you! I'm going to type out as many chapters as I can today and then hopefully post them a day or two apart!
Usually I can get a chapter up no worries, within the week, but everything's just been so busy over here! I just started work (my first job) so I haven't been on the computer as much as I usually am! Plus all my teachers are getting all our last minute assignments up! Only two weeks and I finish year 10! WOOT! and then there was our year 10 formal, which took a lot of time this week, so I couldn't get online!
Hopefully from now on I can keep the posts pretty regular! I just hope that all you fantabulous readers aren't sick of me and come and read the rest of the story!
Mwa mwa

The Worst
Chapter 6

"Gilbert Grissom!" Catherine called down the hall. Grissom halted, his name said like that wasn't a popular occurrence. He waited, his back still turned for his strawberry-blonde colleague to catch up to him.
"I know, what I did, I shouldn't have done"
"Do you want to tell me why you did it? 'Cause I sure as hell know one very traumatized woman who would love to know."
He shook his head, "Look, I know. I know I screwed up. I know. No lecture. Please"
Catherine sighed, "Only because I see potential"
"Potential? Cath, she wanted to leave because of me."
"No she didn't"
"Catherine, 'mixed signals', who else was she talking about?"
"OK, granted you stuff with her mind enough, but we can't give you full credit for this. I suggest you go talk to a Mr. Grant Carrigan. He might have some answers for you"
"Officer Grant Carrigan?"
"One and only"
"What's he got to do with my Sara?"
"Possessive now, are we?"
Grissom looked distracted, "What?"
" 'My Sara'?"
"Oh," he frowned, "When did that happen?"
"Just then, and I suggest if you want to keep it up, you hightail it down to the hospital"
"Don't"
Now it was Catherine's turn to be confused, "What?"
"Don't Cath. Don't interfere. I've done enough damage today"
"Oh! So you know what you've done to her? Yet you don't act on it. How thick are you?" she said, raising her voice and becoming defensive.
"Cath" he sighed, "There's too much you don't understand. Even if by some miracle myself and Sara do end up together, you could never understand the meaning behind it. The past…our past. It would have been wrong to act on anything until the right time. Please don't try to understand it, just let us work it out in our own time"
Changing tactics completely, she slyly asked, "So you and Sara do have a past."
"Yes," he answered cryptically, not wanting to let Catherine know any more than she needed to, "Now can we please return to the case?"
"Yeah. Look, when I said you should go and talk to Carrigan, I was being a bit ambiguous. Uh…I think he could have done it."

"Impossible," he stated with confidence, too much confidence for Brass' liking.
"Why is that Mr. Carrigan?"
"I was on duty"
"Could anyone verify that?"
"Uh…yeah. Half the force," he said sarcastically.
"We're not in the mood, give us a name"
"How many you want? I got Officer Billy Clarkson, Officer Joel Davis, Officer Craig Jameson, Officer James Dowler, Officer Jimmy Weale…anymore?"
"No, that'll do," Brass said, nodding to the officer by the door to get those names down, "Now, while we're checking that out, could you please tell us about you relationship with Miss Sara Sidle?"
"I believe that's personal."
Grissom emerged from the back of the room, "Mr. Carrigan, when a CSI is involved in an attack, all the information we get is crucial. Personal is not an option, I suggest you answer Mr. Brass here"
He nodded and reluctantly answered, "I went over to her place a few weeks back and asked her out to a movie. She's hot, I mean, look at her, so I got a bit nervous around her at work. I thought my mates would think I was paying her to come out with me, so I ignored her on the field, and ten I went to her apartment afterwards to apologise. But after that she refused to go out with me. I asked her out a few more times, I wasn't giving up on her that easily, but she never came out."
"Are you aware that she thought you were harassing her. She was getting ready to move out of Vegas because of you."
"Funny. I thought it was you she was escaping."
Grissom flashed crimson, but before he had a chance to retort his pager beeped violently in the tense interview room,
Mia-Semen results
Grissom turned to Brass, "I have to take this"
"Yeah. I'll get back to you on this one," he nodded in Carrigan's direction.
"Thanks," Grissom replied, walking out of the room and towards the DNA lab.
