~~~Chapter 4~~~
Grissom could not help himself as he grabbed her arm turning her around. “He visited you without me?” His jaw was twitching at her news. It was obvious that he was not taking it too well as his stare turned hot.
“Yes, he came by a week later after you introduced us. He was waiting for me in the dressing room. I walked in, and was alarmed to find him there.” She licked her upper lip in nervousness as she watched Grissom as he sat down on her bed.
“Why didn’t you tell me this? WHY…,” he demanded as a certain thought came to his mind. “You slept with him?”
She stared at him as her eyes filled with tears. “I…I don’t know. Can we just drop this?” She found herself asking as she walked away from him.
“NO we can’t DROP this! YOU…You don’t know? You don’t recall if you took your clothes off and slept with the police commissioner?” Grissom angrily asked as he scoffed at her choice of words.
She turned on him with anger now replaced in her eyes. “Don’t you dare belittle me! You don’t get that RIGHT. What did you expect would happen, Gil? You think he wanted to meet me in a strip club to have a drink while he got to know me? That’s a bunch of bull and you know IT! I did what I HAD to do,” she suddenly stopped her growl as she realized she was now crying. “I said I don’t know…because I don’t remember what happened.”
“I can tell you what happened…You SCREWED him to further your career, Catherine. That doesn’t make you any better than a prostitute.”
Her hand flew in full speed before it landed on the right side of his face. He turned at her with his hands clenched in fists. “YOU…you think your so much better. The PERFECT one…the one that does NO wrong,” she laughed bitterly in his face with her eyes still glassy with tears. “You think Eddie would agree with that? Uhh…What do you think Eddie thinks of you? As I recall you slept with your BEST FRIEND’S wife.”

“Shut the door,” Ecklie demanded as McKean came in. “She really hasn’t told me anything pertaining to you. Which is actually smart in her case. She has remained nothing but professional,” Ecklie said with a hint of frustration.
“So…this is still scandalous on her part. As far as I’m concerned, she needs to be fired,” McKean whispered to Ecklie as he laid the palms of his hands down on his desk. “I want her out of here. Do I make myself clear?”
Ecklie chuckled under his breathe. “That is kind of hard when there is no proof. She’s not admitting to anything. Do you have any proof of your sexual encounter with her on either occasion?”
“No…that’s your job,” McKean beckoned as he grabbed his jacket off the chair before he turned to leave. “Oh…and Ecklie…however you go about getting the proof--May it be propositioning her yourself…or whatever it may be. If you fail to get it...I will find someone to replace you that will do it.” Ecklie watched in amazement as the police commissioner left as he played with the pen in his hand. Did he just threaten me too? “Bastard…no worries you will get your proof,” Ecklie whispered more to himself as he grabbed his own coat, and headed out of his office.
