Chapter twenty-six

Catherine melted once again in Warrick's arms as he massaged the shampoo into Catherine's beautifully long hair.

"I don't know what was running through my head Warrick. All I know is that all I could think about was how Trent wants me to tell him where Sara is, and, I was actually going to do it." Catherine blurted out as she broke down in Warrick's arms.

"I won't let you go Cat. I promise."

The pair held onto each other under the pounding water, until it turned cold.

******

"Willows." Ecklie stormed into the break room at the beginning of the night shift.

Catherine was sat in the far corner with Warrick, chatting about her little blurting out in the shower earlier.

"What Ecklie?!"

"My office." Ecklie stalked off down the corridor.

Catherine followed quickly behind, pecking Warrick on the cheek before heading off.

******

Catherine slammed the door behind as she stormed into Ecklie's office. "What the hell do you want, Ecklie?"

Ecklie gestured to the couch in the far corner. "Take a seat Willows."

Catherine sits on the couch while Ecklie takes the chair in front of her.

"Catherine. Now, I don't care if your involved Brown or even if the rumors are true, but I need you to listen."

"Where's this going Ecklie?" Catherine perched on the edge of her seat, ready bolt if she needed to.

"Ever since you came to this lab, I've had eyes for only one person. Even if she does work for me. I've always been ready to hand in my resignation if she ever wanted me to."

"I'm not liking this Ecklie." Catherine stood and headed for the door, but Ecklie also stood and grabbed her wrist. "Let me go Ecklie."

"I just wanted you to know that I love you. Would you like to come to my place for a drink tonight?" Ecklie still held onto Catherine's wrist.

Catherine pulled her wrist away from Ecklie. "I'm seeing someone Ecklie. And believe you me, if you ever touch me again, he's going to have your head."

Catherine stormed out the door and up to the break room as quick as she could. She could still feel his grimy hands holding tight on her wrist. The smell of his office hung thick over her.

Warrick! He's gonna kill Ecklie when he finds out.

Oh God, I feel so filthy.

******

Back upstairs, Ecklie received a call.

"Well, will she be there?" His raspy voice hovered in the air.

"No." Ecklie spoke quietly and bowed his head as he lent against his desk.

"Then you better find out where she's going to be tonight Conrad." The voice turned stern, but was just as raspy as before.

"She's going out with a Warrick Brown."

"Find out where they're meeting Conrad."

Ecklie sat back in his chair as he listened to the dial tone.

Shit. What am I going to do now?

I've told her how I really feel about her, but that's destroyed her trust in me.

How am I ever going to get out of her or Brown where they're going to be tonight?

A/N: Who do you think called Ecklie? And what do you Warrick will say/do when he finds out Ecklie touched his girl? Do you want the others to get involved?
I love to hear your thoughts! I do read them I promise.
Hope you enjoyed it and take care.
