Chapter 4

Grissom was now sitting Marie down, he quickly glancing to Nick. "Can you leave us, alone for a while?" Nick nodded heading for the door.

Marie lightly placing her head on the table, "oh I'm in trouble now!" her sigh was soft, her head bummed on the table bouncing off.

Grissom took out a needle and syringe taking her arm, "what you doing to her Gris?" Nick asked watching him take a sample of her blood.

"Take this to Greg; have him run a tox on it…" Nick looked shocked.

"Gris…" he looked to veil of Marie's blood looking confused.

"Just do it Nick!" Grissom handed him the sample, putting pressure on Marie's arm. "I just need to talk sense to her," Grissom added while watching Nick nodded leaving them alone.

Marie looking up to him, her eyes blinking she felt like she was going to be sick again, but she never seen him look this mad before. "So what do you want me to say Gil? I'm twenty one, I'm meant to go out, have fun, then you have your CSI's after me, god!" Marie lightly tried to sit up straight but falling back down.

"I think you might have had a bit more sense, but you can tell me what you took? Or the tox report will." He watched as her lift her head up from the table.

Marie laughed, "I am drunk, I drank, I don't touch drugs!" her voice sounded hurt, Marie never knew much about drinking let alone drugs affects.

Grissom now holding her face up shining a flash light into her eyes, "your pupils are wide and unresponsive, a typical sign of use of any drug." he placed the light down still holding her face still. "Now again Marie, what you take?" he said letting her face go.

Marie stood up then falling down knocking into a shelf making it wobble a little but nothing fell off, "I haven't taken anything, why don't you believe me?" Marie stood up keeping her balance, "I don't do drugs, so when you're done with the tox report, I'll be at my hotel waiting your call!" she moved heading towards the door.

Grissom taking her arm, "oh no, your not leaving my sight." he called after Marie as she flipped him off. Greg was now opening the door looking in on the starting fight, "let go of me you're not my father!" she yelled pulling at her arm. Greg thought of stepping in to stop this. Grissom shouting out, "your father's dead, I hate to see what he thinks of what you've done to yourself!" Marie now glaring to Grissom his eyes gazing at the ground, "Marie, I didn't mean to say that, Greg what you doing here?" Marie now looking to Greg, "sorry, it's just that, I, I'm not meant to run this…" Grissom looking to him, "Greg, just do it now!" his voice raised. Greg shut the door walking away.

Marie looked to him, his face was blurring, "I'm out of her," she barged past Grissom opening the door walking straight into Warrick.

"Whoa there," Warrick said holding her still, all Marie saw was his eyes staring at her.

"Let me go!" she snapped while he held her with both hands, Warrick let her go watching her rush away.

"Why you let go?" Grissom said to Warrick, he glanced to where she was running.

"She asked so nicely." Warrick replied watching as Grissom rolled his eyes heading after her.

Marie was in the car park, running she looked behind her, still running into traffic She felt the cars buzzing and putting on there emergency breaks. She kept running through the loud honks, covering her ears, Grissom couldn't keep up anymore.

Nick walked into the car park looking to Grissom, "where did she go?" Grissom pointed forward, "don't worry Gris I'll find her… again." Nick now ran where Grissom pointed.

Marie was walking through the dark ally, the dark felt some form of safety, but the shadows making her mind feel even more lost. She could hear a muffle voice calling, she could feel the walls closing in on her and she ran tripping over something.

Marie crawled to see what it was; she didn't know what to do, letting out a sharp scream. Marie had never seen a dead body before and the girl was naked apart from a pair of gold shoes, her eyes wide open and her throat was almost severed from the body. Marie started to find her feet; she didn't know she was still screaming louder, running now she felt herself slamming into a body. She screamed again looking up to Nick, she threw her arms around him, "body, body," was all she could make out pointing behind her.

Nick glancing to the body, then holding Marie closer, "it's ok, don't worry, your safe, I'm here." he brushed his hands down her back holding her shaking body still.

Marie breathing was fast again looking up to Nick, "she's, she's so cold, she's so cold!" Nick could feel her trembling more, so he held her tighter feeling all of her body pressing against his. Nick lightly stroked her hair more carefully.

"Shh I'll call it in…" Marie now staring up to him, his face seems so kind. She took his face in her hands she leaned up kissing him slowly. Nick wrapped his arms around her, he kissed he back holding her tight against him hearing Grissom Nick slowed down, Marie hearing it too letting go before he was in sight.

"Marie, why did you run out into traffic? You know you could have been killed!" Grissom called walking behind them.

Nick put his hands up in protest "Gris, we have a dead body, behind that dumpster." Nick was now pointing to where the body was.

Grissom nodded, "ok Nick take Marie back to the lab, and get Sara out her with a kit." Nick nodded talking Marie with him, Marie couldn't stand feeling like she was slowly falling asleep.

Greg get the print out from Marie, it didn't make sense, she had a mad mix of drugs in her system, but watching Nick Carry her back into the lab he felt panic.

Marie was lose and unresponsive, Nick placing her on a chair, "Sara you need a kit meet Grissom in the alley a crossed the street, there's a B.D."

Greg run to where Nick and Marie were, Sara now running out the break room with her kit ready, "where?" she panted looking to Nick.

"Over the street!" he replied trying to hold Marie's head up, Sara then looked to Marie.

"I think she's," Nick now catching her face again as she slip out of it, Greg already taking action, lifting her up like a rag doll.

"Greg what are you doing?" Nick said while Greg tried to walk with her, but Nick took her off him.

"She's over doused, she needs a hospital now!" he pointed to the parking lot. Nick nodded now rushing with Greg to Nick's car ready to rush Marie to the accident and emergency ward.
