Escape

"Greg will not be the only one dead ! " Hodges laughed .

"Gun down Hodges !" Catherine yelled "or I'll shoot you !"

"No you won't . You won't risk Grissom's life , would you ?" he pressed the gun further on Grissom's temple ."if you'll pull the trigger now , well , you'll kill me , but al least I'm going to take him with me " he laughed evilly "and the others will go with us !" he pointed to Warrick and Nick , who were fighting to escape from Jim and Dean .

Catherine was making the biggest decision of her life . She knew she mustn't kill Hodges

"A , Cath , I forgot , you won't kill me " Hodges threw her a sadistic look "because you need me to tell you how to make the antidote to save Greg " he smiled "otherwise your little CSI will die ."

"What the hell do you want , Hodges ? What have we ever done to you ? Why do you want so much to hurt us ? " Catherine asked , yelling like this for the first time in her life .

"Because I hate you , I hate you all with all my heart "

"And why ? Why do you hate us ?"

"Because I loved her and she died ! She was my best friend and she died because of you !" Hodges yelled . "you let her die , you are a team of killers ! All of you ! "

"Who ? Who was the girl you loved , Hodges ?"

"You were suppose to protect her !" he motioned to Warrick , ignoring Catherine's question ."but you didn't ! you cared about you more than anything !"

"You are talking about …" Grissom asked .

"About Holly , my best friend . "

"You knew Holly Gribbs ?"

"I loved Holly …and she died because of you .And I wanted you to feel just like I felt when they gave me the news that my friend is dead "

"That's why you kidnapped Greg ?" Warrick asked "to make us suffer ?"

"You shut up ! Because of you and your frickin' gambling !!! You idiot !"

Catherine closed her eyes after she heard the confession . They have worked three years with Hodges and never noticed that he had a connection with Holly . So , Greg was like Holly . The newbie , the one who was trying to integrate in the team . He knew that hurting him will bring them much pain too . He was the kid , after all , he was only twenty nine years . That's why Hodges was laughing about everything Greg did , that's why he was so bad with him . That's why he found Bobby and Jonathan and enraged them against the team .

"Miss Willows , what a honor , we meet again . " the guy who was taking care of Nick said .

Catherine and Brass recognized the voice . Catherine thought this was a dream , too many bad things happened during just two weeks . Way too many .

"It can't be…"

"Yeah , it is true " Dean said "It's me and for the first time you'll see my face !" she stepped out of the shadow ."you wish you have caught me then, don't you ?"

"Who is he ? " Nick asked . Dean hit him hard in the head , almost making him pass out .

"Hey , what was that ?" Grissom screamed ."come on , let us go ! and if you tell us how to make the antidote for Greg , I swear I'll let you go wherever you want !"

"You're lying !" Dean told Hodges "don't believe him , boss , he's a liar !"

"I know , Dean , trust me "

"So , Hodges , we are talking for ten minutes , what the hell do you want ? "

"I want to lower your weapon and to came to me now !"

Grissom , took advantage of Hodges' rage and slowly untied the rope that was around his wrists . He nodded to Catherine to keep talking . She understood and continued to yell and plead Hodges to let the guys go while Grissom removed the knife Hodges had at his waist .

Grissom took the knife by the blade . He elbowed David in the stomach and he , feeling the pain fell to the ground . Grissom took him by the collar and pressed the blade on his neck .

"Put your gun down guys , or I'll kill this bastard !"

"Don't do it , guys , he's not going to kill me , he still need me to save the life of his guy "

"Lower your weapon and I promise you won't receive any charges about this " Catherine said to Jim ..

"You are serious ?"

"I swear on the life of my daughter , just let Warrick go , okay ?"

"Alright " he released the pressure on Warrick's temple ."but you promise I won't be killed ?" He asked again ,to be sure .

"Yeah ."

….

Sara looked at Greg who had just passed out and saw that he was shaking like hell . He was probably into a shock .

She looked at the ceiling , still holding his hand , she prayed that the others and Catherine were okay . The words that went out from Greg's mouth and scared Catherine frightened her too . What was worse was that Catherine nor Brass were answering their cell phones .

"Please , God , let them be okay "

Meanwhile Greg was talking into his uneasy sleep and jumped in pain .

…..

Jim threw the gun on the floor and pushed Warrick aside . He raised his hands and two police officers took him out of the room .

Now it was just Dean with Warrick .

"Let him go !" Grissom said "Hodges , tell him to free Warrick !"

"Dean , kill the son of a bitch ! " Hodges yelled , laughing evilly .

Warrick felt the gun pushing on his temple ; he felt Dean's hand trembling . "He's going to shoot me" Warrick thought "he's going to kill me !"

When he felt that Dean started pressing the trigger , Warrick threw himself on the grown , even tied up . The policemen shot Dean who felt dead beside Warrick .

"Hey , man are you alright ?" Nick asked rushing by his side .

It was over . Catherine hugged Warrick , who tried to calm her .

"I was afraid , Warrick ,I was afraid I'm going to lose you !" she said to him .

"You'll never lose me , Catherine , I promise !"

They hugged each other , happy that all that nightmare was gone .

"It is finally over ! " Nick smiled .

"Yeah ," Warrick nodded "is… oh my God , Greg !"

"Greg , I forgot about him !" Nick confessed .

They heard a laugh , a sadistic laugh beside them .

"What is so funny ?" Nick asked .

"Looking at the watch you have there on your hand , your guy is dead. " he said to Grissom .

"What ? What do you mean ?"

"Well , it takes twenty hours to prepare the antidote for your Greg , and there are only sixteen , so I'll be happy to go to his funeral !"

"Well , Hodges , we already prepared the antidote !" Catherine spoke . looking at her watch "so Greg is now sleeping fine in his bed . You lost , Hodges "

"How did you know to use the perfect concentration " he asked dazed "you found the poison ?" he looked at her with pure rage .

"No ,we worked with his blood " Catherine answered "and we developed the cure very quickly "

"But … no it isn't possible … is not possible … how the hell did you managed to extract the concentration of arsenic , I can't understand !"

"It was easy . And now he's fine. "

"It was the perfect poison…." Hodges confessed , talking to himself "48,98arsenic , 51,02 thallium . What have I done wrong ?" he asked Catherine .

"You're idiot " she told him pulling out her cell phone and dialing a number .

"Hey , Mary , Willows here . I found out the concentration : 48,98arsenic , 51,02 thallium" .

"What ?" Hodges laughed "who's the idiot now , huh ?"

"You" Catherine told him .

"You really think you can make the antidote in sixteen hours ? You need at least nineteen ."

"Well , we have twenty hours and ten minutes . Is this enough ?"

"Twenty … but your watch …" he said to Grissom .

"Well , I lied to you , please no hard feelings ." Grissom smiled .

"You …. You'll pay for this " Hodges mumbled while he was taking away by police .

…..
