I'm Back
Chapter 4
"Hey Gris, is Catherine out in the field?"
He removed his glasses and placed them on top of the stack of papers he had been working on. "Yeah she came in begging for a case so I sent her out on a suspicious circs out near Henderson."
"You sent her all the way out there on her own?" Sara almost shrieked at him.
"It was called in and verified and there will be a cop on the scene so she should be ok. She'll be back long before end of shift so if you need her you can wait until she gets back. Now I do believe you have some paperwork to take care of unless you are still working on the flowers."
"You know as well as I do that I'm not going to find anything on those flowers. I guess I'll get to work on the paperwork. See ya later." She walked down the hallway to the lab she used to complete her paperwork but she couldn't shake the uneasy feeling she had. She wondered if the feeling was because of her stalker or Catherine. "Maybe I should explore these feelings I have for her and see how deep they are. Oh great, I'm talking to myself again." She plopped down on the stool and picked up the paper on top of the stack and started to work. It didn't take long before she was staring off into space thinking about Catherine again. "Ok this has got to stop, I have too much work to do to be acting like a lovesick teenager." She once again started on the paperwork. She'd made a good dent in the stack when she looked up at the clock and was surprised to see that there was only a half hour before end of shift. She decided to go look for Catherine.
She had looked in every lab, in Catherine's office and in the break room she started to get worried. She entered Grissom's office and sat down in the chair to wait for him to finish his phone call. He looked up after he hung up the phone. "Sara what can I do for you?"
"Have you seen or heard from Catherine? I can't find her anywhere. I've had a bad feeling all shift and I don't know if it's this stalker thing or Catherine."
Gil looked up at the clock and was surprised to see that shift was already over. "You've looked everywhere for her? Is her car in the parking lot? Have you tried calling her?"
"Yes Grissom I've done all of those things, I'm not a rookie, I know how to look for someone." Just then her phone rang and she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the caller ID. "This is Catherine, I'm going to take it out in the hallway, see ya later." As soon as she was out of Grissom's office she answered her phone. "Sidle." She froze when she heard a man's voice on the end of the line.
"Sara you should have known you couldn't hide from me. We're soul mates, we are meant to be together."
She tried to control her breathing and knew she couldn't piss this guy off or he might hurt Catherine. "Where's Catherine? Is she ok?"
"Catherine must be this beautiful red head I have here in my arms. Catherine be a good girl and tell Sara how you are."
"Sara stay away don't…" The sentence was cut off by the sound of a slap and Catherine's muffled scream.
"Sara, she's not being a very good girl and I may have to teach her a lesson. But we can avoid all of this if you would just join us here. I will let Catherine go and you and I can be together."
"Sara don't do it." She heard the slap again and Catherine went silent.
"Ok don't hurt her anymore, where do you want me to meet you? Just give me the damn address and leave her alone." She went to her lab and wrote the information down and rushed out to her vehicle. She looked over at Catherine's car and felt a tear slide down her cheek. She wiped it away angrily and took a deep breath. "I have to be strong and I will not let this creep control me." She drove to the address and saw Catherine's Denali parked in front of the house. She pulled her gun out of the holster and approached the door slowly.
"You can drop the gun or this will be over with very fast. You drop the gun or Catherine dies." She looked at the doorway and saw a man with his arm around Catherine's throat and a gun against Catherine's temple.
"Sara do not give up your weapon." Sara winced as she watched a small trickle of blood on Catherine's throat from where he had pushed the tip of a knife in very slowly and held it there. She hadn't seen the knife because she was paying too much attention to the gun and the fear in Catherine's eyes.
"Do you really want to watch me kill your friend here? Now drop the gun."
"You said she would be released if I showed up. Let her go."
"You get rid of the gun and I will let her go. Do we have a deal or do I kill her right here and now?"
"We have a deal." She threw the gun to her right and then turned back towards the door. "Now let her go."
"Come up here and I will let her go."
"Sara please don't do this. Get out of here while you still can." The blood trickled a little faster and she gasped and stopped talking.
"Catherine you've got to think about Lindsey, she needs her mother to be there for her. I guess you could call me expendable. No ties, no family nothing to leave behind." Both women were crying at this point and Sara was slowly approaching the stairs. She walked up the stairs keeping eye contact with Catherine. "Just go Catherine, don't piss him off."
"Listen to Sara, we don't want to leave Lindsey and orphan now do we?" He hissed in Catherine's ear. "Come on Sara a few more steps and we'll be fine. I want you to walk past me and once you are past me I will release Catherine."
Sara reached them and grabbed and squeezed Catherine's hand. "When he releases you, run and do not look back. Take your truck and leave. Promise me you'll run."
"I don't want to leave you here with him."
"You have to for Lindsey."
Ok I will, but only because of Lindsey."
Sara let go of her hand and walked past them into the house but before she could turn around she felt a blinding pain behind her ear before the world went dark.
