A/N: Warning, there will be another death in this part. But before you turn away give it a try since the one you think will pass away might surprise you….. ; )……or not.

Hospitals morgue

It was colder then Catherine thought it should be. She had been brought here when they had arrived in the hospital, and now she stood in front of the slab where she had been put. Looking down she could see the beauty in the face, making clear why he had been attracted to her.

'It wasn't suppose to be this way,' Catherine thought, 'This woman had been full of live this morning, happy and content. But know the light in her eyes had vanished leaving only the shell of the radiant person behind.'

She wondered how he was going to survive this, anyone with eyes in his head had been able to see how much the two of them cared for each other. She knew that the entire team would take this hard, and that the key to survive this ordeal was to help each other. But she also knew that he would never accept the teams help it, he would wave of their aid and carry the burden alone. Looking once again down on the women on the table she made a vow to not let that happen.

'I promise you, we will not let him down. We will help him in anyway we can; I give you my word.'

With those thoughts Catherine turned around, leaving the room and the women behind.

Hallway ICU

Grissom sat on the only vacant chair in the hallway, head in his hands. 'How was he going to deal with this? He couldn't deal with the pain right now. He had to be strong for the rest of the team, but how on earth was he going to tell them all that…..that she was dead? Just this morning they had seen her full of live and now he had to tell them that she was dead?'

The sound of clicking heels alerted Grissom that Catherine was approaching, knowing that it was time to face reality again he lifted his head.

"What's the news?

"They say they were just in time…..a few minutes later and……" his voice trailing he faced the floor again. "Catherine, how am I going to………"

A warm hand covered his shoulder, squeezing him lightly.

"We'll do it together, Gris. Nobody is going trough this alone"

Suddenly a fury overtook Grissom. "Dammit, nobody should have to go through this at all. How in the world are we going to tell Warrick that his wife and child are dead, and are in the morgue below us? That Archie and Mia and all those others are dead? Tell me how are we going to survive this?"

Choosing her words with care, Catherine responded softly. "By focusing our attention on the ones that did survive. By realising that Greg, Hodges, Warrick and Sara are alive and by finding Nicky and the one responsible for this. By making sure that we can tell Warrick and all the families of…..our colleagues that we got the bastard. We going to give them closure Grissom and with that the ability to mourn their death ones."

Opening and closing his mouth, Grissom realised he could not reply to her words. Tears were flowing down his cheeks and to his utter embarrassment he could hear himself cry out , "Catherine how on earth are we going to explain to Warrick that Tina is dead along with his unborn child? How are we going to tell Sara, that the doctors had to remove one of her kidney? And how on earth are we going to find Nick? We know nothing!"

"That's not true Grissom. Hodges told us that Sara knew that there were bombs in the building. So that means that the guy who took Nick might have given more information to her. We just have to pray that Sara will wake up soon."
