“What can you tell me about the man who did this?”  Grissom asked the waiter that was closest to Sara and Catherine while it happened.

“It was just a regular guy, not someone that would stand out in a crowd. If he didn’t have the gun, he wouldn’t have gotten away. I mean he was small, I think that those women could have taken him down easily. Maybe you can see him on the security videos. Daniel, come here for a sec.”  The waiter turned around and searched the room for a moment. A young man walked up to them. “Daniel, can you show Mister Grissom the security cams from the door at the back of the kitchen. 

Daniel nodded and asked Grissom to follow him. They entered a small dark room, filled with television screens and VCR’s. Daniel sat down on the chair and pushed some buttons, rewinding one of the VCR’s.  The first images showed the restaurant Catherine and Sara were sitting at the table, Sara talked to Catherine and then got down on one knee. Even to Grissom that could only mean one thing. Grissom could only imagine what Sara must feel like, not to mention Catherine. Suddenly a dark shadow moved behind Sara and she got hit in the head. The person watched as Sara hit the floor unconscious. Catherine fell down on her knees next to Sara, but the man grabbed her arm and pulled her back up. He moved away towards the kitchen and out of the reach of the camera.

“Is there another camera, in the kitchen?” Grissom asked. Daniel nodded. He moved around to another VCR and rewound the video to where Catherine opened the door. A second later the man followed her but he made the mistake of looking up right into the camera. Only a split second, but long enough for Grissom to recognize him.

“Well I’ll be damned. I need those tapes now.” Grissom said before rushing out to the restaurant.

Catherine’s POV

“So you killed all these women to get back at me and Sara, how sick can you be?” I asked my words filled with anger, pain and disgust, his emotions were coming into play, and I knew that I would be able to take him down somehow. He would become less focused and would start to make mistakes, I had seen it happen before, time and time again.
