Only time could tell

Warrick carried me to the car and Cath set the alarm and closed the door. Warrick gently placed me into the front seat while Catherine got into the back. We drove of, not knowing what to expect. We drove off and headed for Jenn’s house to pick her and Lindsey up.

We pulled up in front of the house when Cath started crying, she opened the door and started running towards the house. Warrick could barely stop her before she reached the house. I wanted to be there for Cath but all I could do was watch. I got out of the car as fast as I could, and grabbed my crutches. Cath was hitting Warrick she wanted him to let go of her but he wouldn’t give in. He didn’t want her to see what was inside of the house. She was crying, and screaming at him but he gently held her in his arms and sat down on the grass still holding her.

I moved towards them and sat down on the grass. I wrapped my arms around her while Warrick slowly let go of her. He handed me his cell phone and pointed at the house, I nodded at him. He slowly got up and drew his gun. I dialed Grissom’s number while I caressed Cath’s back with my other hand. She was crying, and her body was shaking.

“Griss, it’s Sara. We have a problem?”

“Oh god Sara, what is it? Don’t tell me that it’s true?”

“We are at Jenn’s house, the door was open. Warrick is inside.”

“Sara where is Cath and where are you?”

“Where on the grass in front of the house, Cath got hysterical and Warrick could barely hold her before she ran into the house.”

Warrick stepped outside, and walked towards us.

“They are not here!”

“Nooo!!!” Cath screamed.

“Cath calm down, they are not here, he probably took them somewhere else. Which means that they are alive. Why else would he go through the trouble of taking them somewhere else?” Warrick said to calm down Catherine.

“Let me see the house?” Catherine asked while she tried to pull herself loose from our embrace.

“No Cath, this case is too involving for all of us, we need help from the day crew. We stay out of the house before we contaminate the scene.” Warrick told her in a don’t-try-to-fight-me voice.

“We stay here until the police arrives and then we go to headquarters.”

“Grissom can you sent over the day crew, Jenn and Lindsey are gone?”

“I already made the phone call, Ecklie is on his way. I want the three of you here as soon as possible.”

“Okay, bye.” I said while I hung up the phone.

“Ecklie is on his way, Grissom wants us back in the office as soon as possible.”

“Common, Catherine let’s get back to the car?” Warrick said when he heard the sirens in the distance.


helphelped Catherine back on her feet and then he pulled me back on my feet. We walked back to the car and the police cars drove around the corner. Catherine followed the cars with her eyes. “If I don’t get her back …” she said while her voice faded away. I grabbed her shoulder and t to to show her that I was there for her. But of course I could never tell her that it would all be all right, only time could tell.
