Captain Jim Brass and Gil Grissom walk towards the interrogation room. This is not one of Gil's favorite things but today he feels like he has to do this, he owes Sara this much. He will be the one to catch the person responsible for this terrible tragedy and bring his team the justice they deserve. Gil swallows as he enters the room and sees the man before him, people skills really aren't his thing.

Jim closes the door and uses all his inner strength to fight the urges to jump over the table and smash the suspect's brains out. He sighs and takes the only empty seat left in the room before clearing his throat and beginning.

"Nice of you to join us James."

"It's not like I really had much choice is it!"

"You lost every right to choice when you stabbed a young man to death and shot a csi."

laughter fills the room

"She wasn't supposed to be there, dumb bitch. I told her to just let me go but no she had to fight, typical work junkie with nothing better to do. Probably doesn't even know the name of that baby's father. People like her disgust me, dead is she?"

"Unfortunately for you she isn't."

"Yes. What a shame that is, still she'll be scarred for life. I guess that will do."

Brass gets up and leaves the room, his anger rising too much to allow him to stay. Gil turns to James.

"You will be going away for a long time, there will be no deal in exchange for motive or explanation so if you don't wish to record your reasons I will get the officers to escort you out."

"Like I said, she wasn't supposed to be there. Craig was my best friend, he'd always been a nasty piece of work, to everyone else that is. He never did anything wrong by me until last week. I caught him screwing my girl, we had an argument and I left. I never intended anything else to happen until that stupid bitch told me she was leaving to be with him. I couldn't let that happen, so I eliminated him for the equation. Simple as. I don't care that I'm going down, I don't even want her no more, I just had to make sure he couldn't have her either."

"You mentioned a baby. Was there a baby at the scene with you?"

"Apart from the one inside your CSI friend no. Ooh you didn't know, why doesn't that surprise me. You guys call yourself crime scene investigators and you miss something so obvious. Hey dude maybe it's even yours."

"Officers remove this man immediately."

The officers handcuff James and drag him from the room kicking and shouting abuse.

"Hit a nerve did I Mr.Grissom?"

Grissom ignores him and removes his glasses. He subconsciously cleans them wondering how the hell he hadn't noticed the change in Sara. He lets his mind play back the last few months. Come to think of it I haven't seen Sara drinking coffee at all recently, she's never so keen to pull a double now .I thought that was just because Catherine was giving her a hard time, I know what she can be like. I must be losing my touch, maybe my CSI days are nearing an end.

"Lindsey your Mom isn't mad at you."

"It didn't seem that way back in the room."

"She's just upset, she was scared she'd lose Sara."

"I know…we all were. I was really scared too. Auntie Nancy said I couldn't see her so I got mad and smashed one of her glass vases. I didn't mean to do it, it just happened. Do you think that's what happened with Mom?"

"You know what Linds?"

"What?"

"I think you are one clever cookie, that's exactly what happened with your Mom!"

"I'm so damn mad at you Sara. What the hell where you thinking? You answer my phone and then go work a scene they asked me to work, why didn't you just wake me? It's supposed to be me lying in that bed right now not you. Then to top things off Nick is hiding something from me and he says to talk to you about it. I think you have some explaining to do."

" You just looked so peaceful sleeping, I knew you were tired so I thought it would be best that I went. I only had your best interests at heart sweetie and I don't have a clue what Nick is on about, I'd have to talk to him."

"That's irrelevant. It wasn't your place to make that decision."

"We're a couple Catherine, couples make decisions like that for each other. They look out for each other and they protect them in every way they can."

"You could have died Sara! Just imagine what I would have felt like, guilt would have eaten me up inside, I'd have never got over it….never. I love you but this is all too much. I was so scared, I still am. I don't think I could handle losing you to a hole in the ground."

"I'm sorry for upsetting you but I will NOT pretend to be sorry for going instead, I'm glad it was me they shot and not you, I'm glad I just went through that surgery while you were being looked after by our friends and I'm glad it's me lying in this bed right now while you stand before me looking as beautiful as you did the day I first saw you. I Sara Sidle am not sorry for that."

"I look like shit, I've been crying for hours." Catherine lets out a small giggle through her tears and looks into her girlfriend's eyes.

"Hey it's impossible for Catherine Willows to look like 'shit'"

Catherine lets her defenses down and sighs heavily, they had a lot of making up to do. Well after Sara was better of course.

"Baby I don't wanna fight no more."
