A/N: Thank you, thank you, thank you for the reviews! You're all wonderful. Anyway, I found this chapter really difficult to write, but I tried so I hope it meets your expectations…enjoy :)

Chapter 11 – Catherine's POV

"You think they'll figure anything out?"
Sara smirks as we slow down for a red light.
"After the way we've been behaving over the past few weeks? I don't think so. Everyone knows you were too upset to drive home. They'll just think I drove you home then picked you up."
"I guess."

The rest of the drive is spent in a comfortable silence. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if the rest of the team did figure anything out. I'd shout if from the rooftops if I thought Sara wouldn't mind. But she would. Not because she's ashamed of our relationship, but because she likes to keep her private life private. As long as she's happy, I'm happy, so for now our relationship is a secret.
As we pull up outside the lab, my cell begins to ring. Its Grissom.

"Why is he calling me now? Shift starts in half an hour, he must know I'm going to be at the lab soon."
"If you answer it, you'll find out," Sara teases, so I stick my tongue out at her and answer the phone.

"What's up Grissom? I'm outside the lab now so we can just talk in-"
"Cath, I'm not at the lab."
"Oh. Crime scene? Why are you calling me then? Me and Sara already have a case."
"I know. That's why I'm calling."
"But.." I freeze. Oh god.
"You've found another victim."
"Correct. You need to get over here."
He gives me the address and hangs up.

We sit in silence for a moment, then Sara voices my fears.
"Do you think it's a serial?"
I sigh heavily.
"Lets go find out."

Sara's POV

Another dank alley. Another blonde haired blue eyed girl, raped then strangled. The look on Catherine's face when we see her breaks my heart, and I just want to hug her, but we've got a job to do.

"How long has she been dead David?" I ask, dreading the answer.
"Judging from the rigor, or lack of it, and the liver temp, I'd say she's only been dead three to four hours."
"I'm guessing that's the same as last night's victim?" Grissom asks.
Catherine and I nod.
"Alright, this guess has suddenly got a lot more serious. Greg and I have no case, so we'll be joining you. Sara, call the lab and have Greg check missing persons. Cath-"
"I've got to check on Lindsey."
The look of panic on her face is evident as she dials her sisters number.

"Nance, is Lindsey alright?"
She relaxes.
"No, I don't really have time to give details right now, but can you keep a close eye on her. Don't let her leave the house on her own, and can you drop her off and pick her up from school again? I'll be pulling a double tonight."
The look on her face grows irritated.
"I know I wasn't there today, but I couldn't be. This case is-"
Now she just looks weary.
"Alright, I will. Give Linds a kiss for me. Yeah, take care of yourself too. Night."
She turns to Grissom.

"Can we get Lindsey a police escort?"
He looks annoyed.
"Catherine, don't you think you're over reacting a little? There's probably hundreds of blonde haired, blue eyed teenage girls in Vegas, and I doubt-"
"The victims aren't just 'blonde haired, blue eyed teenage girls'! They look like Lindsey!"
I actually agree with her, but Grissom ignores her.
"As I was saying, I doubt the killer even knows you have a daughter, and besides, giving her a police escort will just draw attention to her. What I suggest is that she stays with your sister until we crack this case. The killer could be watching us, so Lindsey would probably be safer with your sister."
I cut in.
"Yes, there probably are lots of girls who are potential victims for this killer Grissom, but Lindsey is the only one who's mother is a CSI working this case, which makes her a more likely choice for the killer."
Catherine nods. Clearly, this is what she was thinking too.
"That's why I suggested Lindsey stays with Catherine's sister for now. But, if you're both that concerned, I could just take Catherine off the case."
We both glare at him.
"And what will that solve Grissom? If the killer is watching us, he'll already have seen me. You can't take me off this case Grissom."
"Well if you want to stay on this case, I suggest you stop arguing with me and start working the scene."

Catherine glares at him, but she obviously realises she's fighting a losing battle. She goes off to process the victim. I glare at Grissom but he doesn't notice. I know he's thinking logically, but if anything happens to Lindsey…I try not to think about it. I need a clear head if I want to help catch this killer. I go off to find a quieter spot to call Greg.

Anonymous POV

Well, until now, I didn't know the attractive CSI had a daughter. I was watching the ladies work yesterday, but they didn't know it, as I was very well hidden. Anyway, the CSI has a daughter, one that sounds like my type of girl. I'll have to check her out. I hope she's as feisty as her mother seems, I enjoy a challenge. A CSI's daughter…now that would be an accomplishment. Maybe I'll go for her mother afterwards. She's not in the age group that I normally go for, but she is an attractive woman, besides, the only thing better than taking a CSI's daughter would be taking a CSI. I slip away into the dark. Time to make plans for my next challenge.

You know you want to give me feedback ;)
