“Right now, I don’t think that you can give me what I need.” I was close to tears again.

Catherine’s POV

We’re driving down a road, which was vaguely familiar to me; we were somewhere just outside the city. There was an old building complex at the end of the road. I watch him for a second before I take a life changing decision. This might be freedom, but it could also mean death, but at least I would fight ‘til the end. He was concentrating on driving the car, holding the gun in his hand resting on his lap.

I took the decision and grabbed the steering wheel, moments later the car turned around and there was a loud crash as the car slammed into the wall of the building. His head slammed against the steering wheel, he hit the window and blood gushed from his head.

The moment the car crashed into the wall, the door at the passenger side opened and I was flung out of the car. I hit the ground and slipped into unconsciousness for a second. I regained consciousness, and looked around. The car was a total wreck; I got up gingerly and moved closer to the car.

I observe the scene and see that he isn’t moving, getting closer to the car I can see that he’s still breathing.

He is unconscious… I have to get away. It was at that moment that I noticed the sticky red fluid on my dress. Seeing the wound that it came from made me sick. Suddenly I could feel the pain; I guess that the first rush of adrenaline had left me, and I needed to sit down.

Grissom’s phone rang; he picked it up and looked at the number. It was unfamiliar, nevertheless he answered it.

“Grissom.”

“Grissom, it’s me is Sara with you?” Catherine’s voice sounded.

“Cath, where are you?”

“I am not really… sure,” Catherine answered disoriented, looking around trying to see whether she recognized something. “I crashed the car into a building. An old complex building outside the city.”

“Grissom, I need an ambulance.”
