Where is she?

Only time could tell ...
Chapter 10

The alarm clock was beeping and Cath rolled over to the other site of the bed, was it time already. Where had the time gone, she was so tired when she finally came home. But then she couldn’t sleep. And now it was time to get up again. The door opened and Lindsay looked around the door.

“Mum, are you awake?” Cath sighed and smiled at her little girl.

“Yes I am, come here.” She waved with her hand and Lindsay crept onto the bed, she crept into her mother embrace and they both just laid there for a couple of minutes.

“Linds, what did you do today?” She asked her little girl, Lindsay had a school vacation and she had spent the night at her sister’s house. But Lindsay always wanted to be home even if her mother was sleeping, normally Cath slept when Lindsay was in school.

“I watched Shrek.” Lindsay told in excitement, Lindsay started telling Cath all about the movie. And Cath watched on the clock again.

“Lindsay honey, I really have to get up and shower, because Sara is picking me up later.”

a isa is coming?” Lindsay asked.

“Yep she is but only to pick me up, we ate breakfast this morning and I left my car at the labs.” Cath explained to Lindsay.

“But you promised auntie Liz to drop me off at her place?” Lindsay stated.

“I did, damn I must have forgotten all about that, I did?” Cath sighed. “Oh well Sara probably won’t mind to drop you of.”

Cath walked over to the closet and opened it; she pulled out a blouse and put it back into the closet. She picked out another blouse, a slightly see through blouse and combined it with a black leather jacket and a black skirt. Someone would really like that. She hit the showers. Half an hour later she was ready.

She fixed diner for herself and for Lindsay and they ate it together. An hour later she was waiting for Sara to arrive. But she didn’t come. Cath called her cell phone, her pager and her home phone, but Sara didn’t react. She couldn’t get to her sisters’ house without her car, so she called Warrick who lives closets to her.

“Hey Warrick it’s Cath.”

“Oh hey Cath,” he said.

“Warrick could you please pick me up for work? Sara was supposed to pick me up but she doesn’t answer her phone.”

“Yep sure no problem, I’ll be there in a couple of minutes, I’m close to your place.” Warrick told Cath. She sighed in relieve.

“Warrick, one more thing, can we drop Lindsay off at my sisters house?”

“Cath, I love to see that little girl of yours you know that, it’s no problem at all.” He stated, and he laughed warmly. She wondered why he didn’t have a girlfriend, or even kids, she knew for sue that he would be a great dad.

“Thanks Warrick.”

Just minutes later Warrick arrived at Cath’s place. Lindsay ran down to the car and sat down on the backseat. Cath closed the door and stepped in the car. They dropped Lindsay off at her sisters’ house.

“What the next stop, Sara’s house or the labs, it’s your call?” Warrick asked. He’d noticed that Cath was worried about Sara. And he could imagine why, it wasn’t quit like Sara to not show up without calling or anything.

“The case that we had yesterday had a big impact on Sara. I never saw her like that. She was so different, as if she showed me a piece of the true Sara. I have a really bad feeling.” Cath stated.

“Oh common, Cath it’s probably nothing.” Warrick said to take away some of Cath doubts and worries, without success. “So Sara’s house first?”

Cath just nodded silently. Ten minutes later they stopped at Sara’s house. Her car was parked in front of her house. They wandered up to the front door and nodded. Nothing changed, and Warrick walked around the house, to the back. Something reflected on the ground and Warrick bend down. It was shattered glass, he looked up and one of the small windows in the door was broken.

“Cath, you better take a look at this he called out?” Catherine came running around the corner of the house. She looked shocked, she grabbed her gun and Warrick did the same. Cath pulled the sleeve of her blouse over her hand and opened the door. They entered Sara’s kitchen, and walked through the living room straight to her bedroom and after that to the bathroom. She was nowhere to be found. And Cath broke down on the bed.

“I knew it something happened.” Cath cried and Warrick took her in his arms to comfort her. He pulled out his phone and called Nick ask asked him to come over to process the scene. He also called Brass to tell him that they wouldn’t take on any cases this shift. Brass told that he would come over to.

Cath called Sara’s cell phone, and she heard it ringing in the bedroom.

“Cath we have to call Grissom, do you want to call him or shall I do it?” Warrick asked.

“No, let me do it, I’m the one who he left in charge.”
