They left the courthouse and went to Grissom's house to spend what little time they had left together. Catherine went to her car, and started to drive home but stopped by the lab first to see if she had any new cases to do.
"Hey Catherine did she get the money?"
"Yeah they're at his house. You got anything for me?"
"No we've got it covered. Why don't you go home?"
"Ok."
Catherine left the lab and went home and spent the rest of the day with her daughter. They went shopping at the mall, caught a movie, and went out to eat. By the time they got home it was almost 11:00 and Lindsay had school tomorrow. They went to bed around 11:15 until Catherine's cell woke her up at 3:00.
"Hello?"
"Catherine? Sorry to wake you up but we've got a situation here."
"What is it?"
"Gil and Ashley they're gone."
"What?!"
She sat straight up in bed, turning on the light, and pulling on some clothes.
"What happened?"
"The D.A's office called the house around 2 and got no answer, so a few hours later they went to his house and everything was gone."
"I'll be there in a minute."
She hung up and got in her car. Driving to his house she thought out loud to herself.
"I thought I could trust them! I helped them out more than anyone else would. What were they thinking?"
She arrived at his house with 2 police cars, and the CSI team. She showed on of the officers her badge, and he let her under the police tape.
"Warrick what happened? They just took off?"
"That's how it looks. Can't find anything that shows where they were going."
"Of course not. This is Grissom we're dealing with here. He knows every trick in the book."
"Yeah. I know. You think they skipped town?"
"Maybe not just town, they probably skipped the country."
"Hey Catherine there's no reason for us to be here. We got nada."
"All right. Come on. I guess since he's gone I become the boss."
"Yeah. You were his assistant for years."
"Let's go. There's nothing more we can do here. I hope you guys are happy wherever you are."
