Chapter 29
Close call
Every time I enter the building, I feel the seriousness that the building stands for. The white coloured corridors, the employees walking around in white or blue lab coats and the impersonal rooms that we work in send a shiver down my spine. The happy feelings disappear while the thoughts of our case creep upon me.
I walked down the corridor and passed Grissom´s office when I heard him call my name.
ra, ra, can I talk to you for a minute.”
I closed the door behind me and sat down on his couch.
“I don’t know what’s going on and frankly I don’t even want to know. If there are any problems with Catherine then please solve them. She asked where you where and when I told her that you where out, she gave me this weird look. She didn’t ask anything else but I know that she knew that I wasn’t telling her the truth.”
“I care about you and I care about Catherine, but I refuse to stand in between the two of you when you’re having a fight or whatever. Don’t let this relationship interfere with your work. You know that there are consequences if this doesn’t work out.” Grissom said with a concerned look on his face. He could say that he didn’t care but by the looks of his face just the idea of ablemblem between Catherine and I had concerned him more then he would ever admit.
“Grissom, I can assure you that nothing is wrong. It’s just this case it’s particularly hard on Catherine and me. But we’ll be all right. Don’t worry.” Grissom didn’t say a word and I saw that as my cue to leave.
I grabbed two mugs and poured coffee into them before searching for Catherine. I found her in one of the labs, and entered it silently. I put down the mugs and greeted her. Catherine was so taken into her thoughts that she hadn’t seen or heard me enter the room. She was startled when I wrapped my arms around her and whispered my hello into her ear.
“Hey babe, missed me?”
“What? … No, yeah …”
“Well, which one is it, you have to make a choice.” I said with a grin on my face.
“Yeah, I missed you …” Catherine said while she kissed me. “Where were you?” She asked and I knew that it wouldn’t be so easy to satisfy her with an answer.
“I went for a drive, I just needed to sort my mind out. But that is not something that I can say to Grissom. He probably won’t like that as a reason to stay away for a couple of hours, especially not now.”
“What are you working on?” I asked Catherine trying to get her mind onto another topic.
“Just going over the pictures, waiting for the test results. Thinking of a way to find this bastard. Those women were terrified that he would try it again, because he can’t afford to leave eye witnesses behind.” Catherine said while she sighed.
“We’re going to get him, he’s getting sloppy. He’s left more evidence then on the other cases. We now even have his blood, so that is a start and we know that he’s hurt.”
Warrick walked past the lab and I called his name. “Warrick, have you found anything new?” I asked him.
“Well, we got a call from Brass there was one guy with a gunshot wound to the shoulder at the hospital. He asked Nick and me to meet him at the hospital. So I have to go now, I’ll call you as soon as we know more.”
~*~
We sat down working on all of the evidence while we waited to hear more about this perp in the hospital. We both stopped in our tracks when Catherine’s phone rang, both hoping that this would be the end of this nightmare.
“It’s not, damn!” Was all that Cath said before she flipped her phone shut.
“It’s not our guy, but he confessed to a gang related shooting down the strip. He confessed to that because he knew that he would probably get a lesser conviction then when the perp gets caught for these murders. And the blood type doesn’t match to the blood that we found at the scene yesterday. ” She sat back down and gave me the impression that someone had defeated her.
“Well find our guy, I know we will.” I said while I wrapped my arms around Catherine. “Let’s go home, it’s almost time and there isn’t much that we can do right now.” And there was so much that I had to do before Catherine woke up.
~*~
The ride home was silent and I knew that Catherine was exhausted and that she would pass out when she her head hit the pillow. Compared to me, Catherine fell asleep easily, she could sleep everywhere and anywhere at every time of the day. While I was glad when I slept for a couple of hours.
I was right, just minutes after we entered the house and dropped down on the bed I could hear Catherine’s breathing subside. She looked so tired, and small covered by the heap of blankets that she always stole from me. I smiled at the thought, today she could have all of the blankets.
I waited until I was sure that she wasepineping and wouldn’t wake up soon. I walked towards the closet and got some clothes out I watched Catherine for a couple of minutes, before I put my clothes on. I hated this sneaking around, but on the other hand I wanted my proposal to be a total surprise.
ote ote a quick letter telling Cath that Jenn asked me if I could pick up Lindsey early because she needed to go and see a friend that was sick. I quietly left the house and drove my car to Jenn´s house. Lindsey saw me coming and she ran towards the car before I even stopped it.
It was so good to see her excitement, one more reason to go through with this. She could take all my doubts away. This might really work out the way I would love to see it.
“Hey Sweetie, did you sleep alright or where you too excited?” I asked while Lindsey got into the car.
I was kind of excited, but then Auntie Jenn said that I could go to sleep and if I did that you would be here sooner then when I stayed awake. And she was right.” Lindsey smiled. I watched Jenn walking up to the car and opened the window.
“Hi Sara, I got you covered when Cath calls, you can count on me.”
“Thank you.” I said grateful for all the help that I received.
“No problem, hun as long as my sister stays this happy.” She laughed while she said that. She had said that a couple of times to me and I knew that she thought that I was making Catherine so happy. Well Catherine was doing the same for me.
“I’ll make sure that she stays this happy. Cause heaven forbids, I don’t want to see you angry with me.” Jenn chuckled at my comment and waved while I drove off.
