Chapter 37
Revenge is sweet…
Catherine’s POV
I
walkown own the hallway reading a file. It was my first day back at the labs. I
couldn’t really concentrate on the task at hand. I had to do some lab test, but
for the last thirty minutes I had been reading the same three sentences. And I
still had no clue what they said. I was worried about Sara, this whole ordeal
with these murders and my kidnap had left to some pretty deep scars for Sara
mentally speaking. She felt guilty because she was knocked unconscious and
wasn’t there to save me. She felt guilty ever since we told her who killed
these women and almost me because she knew how close he had been all the time.
She could keep her happy show up at home, but I knew that she wanted revenge.
And that thought kept ringing through my mind, a little nagging voice.
I had talked to her
told her that we were okay, and that we would have a great wedding and that we
would live happily ever after and that that bastard would rot in jail. Sara had
shrugged her shoulders, and told me that she wanted him dead. I made a comment,
asked her if she had taken a good look at the guy. I said to her that she would
get her revenge; in jail he would be everybody’s bitch. We had laughed; revenge
could be sweet. All though it had a bitter aftertaste, we had survived the others
didn’t.
I hadn’t even
noticed that I stopped walking, until I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up
into the smiling light colored eyes that belong to Warrick.
“Are you okay,
Catherine?”
“All
right, sure I am. Just thinking about… stuff.”
“Are you sure?” he
asked reassuring himself that I was speaking the truth.
“Yes, I am, I was
just thinking about the contents of this file.” I said, holding up the file.
Warrick nodded before he followed his way down the hall.
I looked up from the
file and noticed Sara, standing in front of the room next to the interrogation
room. Gazing through the two-way-window, her shoulders rigid, fists clenched
shut and her knuckles turned white. Something held me back, was it the anger so
obviously displayed in her appearance.
Sara´s POV
Looking through the
window, I could see Grissom talking to that bastard. How can he stay so calm?
Anger was taking over my thoughts. I wanted him to feel the pain that Catherine
and I had felt… not even to mention the other women. I was clenching my fists,
my nails marking the inside my palms. Biting my lip until I tasted blood.
“Why did you do it?”
Grissom asked the bastard. He laughed his evil laugh; I never even knew he had
it before.
“Why don’t you bring
those bitches in and let me tell them why I did it.”
That was it, no more
playing nice Sara. I would show him fear. I ran out of the room, and bumped
into someone, I had no idea who. I barge into the interrogation room and launce
myself at him, “How could you do that to my woman! How could you? Wanna see a
terrified look, take a look in the mirror, asshole.” I screamed, slamming my
fists wherever I could hit him.
He fell on the
ground, and I fell on top of him still slamming my fists into him. Grissom came
up from behind me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me backwards.
“No Grissom, let me
go. He deserves to be dead.” I fought Grissom off, “He almost killed Catherine,
Hodges has to pay for what he did to all those women.” I fought Grissom, and
pushed him back against the wall. He slipped down until he sat on the ground. I
took a look around and saw Hodges in the corner of the room.
“Sara!” Catherine
screamed in despair, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to hold me back. She
had seen Grissom crash into the wall. She immediately bent down to help Grissom
up. “Sara!” Catherine’s pleas got lost in my anger.
I walked through the
small room and grabbed the chair that had been occupied by Hodges during the
interrogation. I lifted it above his head, when I suddenly heard the voice of
Jim Brass calling my name.
“Sara stop!” I spun
around and saw the gun aimed at me. I saw the fear in Catherine’s eyes and
Grissom still on the floor. Catherine got up and placed herself between Jim and
me. Jim immediately lowered his gun, pointing it at the floor but still close.
I couldn’t even look
at Catherine, when I saw her move closer towards me. I ran as fast as I could
pushing away everyone in my path. Her trembling calls made me realize how much
pain I had caused her.
~*~
I locked myself into
Catherine’s office lowering the blinds before I sat down in the corner which
was furthest from the door, the one behind her desk. It has been an hour since
I ran away from the scene and I am sure everyone is looking for me to drag me
down to Grissom’s office so he can kick me out.
I hear the door open
and I look up, I wish that Catherine would leave me alone. I thought that I
would be safe here for a while so that I could order the thoughts running
through my mind. I look away from the door, away from the spot where Catherine
is standing. She heard the sobs and rushed towards her desk, instantly she
knows where I am. And without a warning she sits down besides me and pulls me
into a hug. I cover my face with my hands I am so ashamed, I thought that I was
doing the right thing. But why did I feel so shitty if it was.
“It’s going to be
alright, honey.” Catherine’s soothing voice says to me.
“How can you say
that, Grissom is probably buying a one way ticket to Frisco right now. And he
will probably escort me to the airplane just to make sure that I am on my way
out of this place.” He won’t recommend anyone to employ me so I’ll be back in
Frisco, without a job. Maybe I can get one at the Burger King or something.”
“Sara, if he does
that, that means that I’ll have to call some schools in Frisco.”
“Why, to get me into
another field of education?” I sigh deeply.
“No silly, for
Lindsey, do you expect me to stay here?” I was kind of shocked to hear that
impulsive answer. I looked up at Catherine wondering why she wasn’t afraid. I
was afraid of myself, I hate myself at this moment. I never knew that I had
this strength in me. I guess that it had been a whole lot of pent up
frustration towards the men in my life. My dad, Amy’s dad and brother, Paul
they had all took something that was so important to me that I thought that I
wouldn’t be able to survive. And still I did, I was still here but Hodges he
had just been the last straw. “I said yes to you and I’m not running from you
now. We’ll make it and if Grissom doesn’t understand what happened back there
then he will lose two CSI’s.”
“So you don’t hate
me?”
She nods her head
silently, “No I don’t hate you, I’m not in the shape to kick his ass. But I
would have loved to.” She kisses my forehead. “You scared me but that is all.
We’ll get through it together.”
“Let’s go. I am sure
the others are waiting, for me to return with you. I asked
them to give us some time alone.”
It took me a couple
of minutes to get ready to go, I was scared but at least now I know that there
was someone supporting me.
~*~
Catherine knocked on
the door that gave access to Grissom’s office. Every one was indeed waiting for
us there. The whole team, even Brass and Greg. I had no idea why Greg was here.
Oh well, maybe he’ll get to take my place when they fire me.
“Sara, this would be
a good reason to fire you. You attacked a suspect, attacked me and Jim had to
point his gun at you before you stopped.”
“Fire me, fine!” I
said angrily, while I dropped my gun and badge on Grissom’s desk. “Do whatever
you like but don’t call that bastard a suspect. He is just as guilty as he
would have been if we caught him red handed and you know it.”
I was ready to turn
around and leave the building when Catherine’s hand on my arm restrained me.
“Grissom, you can’t fire Sara. If you do you can fire me as well.” She looked
around the room; everyone had a shocked look on their faces. “I gave Sara my
word and I’m not taking it back. What Sara did wasn’t the right thing. But no
one in this room can deny that this didn’t cross their mind. Greg had to be
held back by two officers when they brought Hodges in. Knowing those two,”
Catherine said turning her gaze to Nick and Warrick “the thought of beating
that guy up has crossed their mind more then once. True or not?” Nick and
Warrick nodded their heads, yes.
“I wanted to do it,
but I am still recovering from the whole thing. So I knew that I was no challenge
for him, one knock in the right place and I would be out. Grissom, Jim, you
cannot tell me in all honesty that you didn’t think about it?” Looking at their
guilty faces I knew that I was getting to them at the right place. “Yeah, I
thought so.” I answered my question for them.
