Sophia's still smiling as she walks, no make that struts down the corridor. This earns her a couple of weird look from lab technicians, but she blows them off with a dismissive shake of her head, her long blonde hair spilling over her shoulders, like in one of those stupid shampoo commercials.
She nearly collides into Brass, and she can not help but notice as his hand clutches his chest. "Sophia...your back? So I'm assuming the doctor gave you some walking papers?" He asked as he tried to softly chuckle, but his humor failed him miserably.
He took in a deep breath as he thought about the past couple of days, and how crazy yet disturbing they had been. First, Sophia is knocked unconscious when she tried to leave the lab, Warrick is shot while trying to protect her, and then Catherine is sexually assaulted and nearly abducted in the lab parking lot. He sighed heavier as he realized this all happened under his watch. He could not help but feel responsible.
Brass let's out an explosive sigh. "I'm--uh, just glad your back. Everything's fine. I know you know about Warrick, but Catherine was nearly abducted in the lab parking lot earlier today," he said as he looked up at Sophia. "The guy that attacked her is connected somehow to the case she and Nick are working on. Seems this psycho was fancying Catherine just to get to Nick. Bastard sexually assaulted her in the parking lot, and then slashed her shirt open," he said as his right hand rubbed at his head.
He continued on as Sophia managed to just look at him in shock. "He managed to get away before I could do anything, but we found him and he's in custody now. She ID'ed him. His name is Neil Howard." He fished in his jacket pocket for a moment, and then pulled out the letters that were part of the evidence against Neil. "You might want to read over these. They are the letters the lunatic left behind for Nick. Once your finished make sure they are given back to Grissom personally. It's his and Sara's case," Brass informed as he walked away. He turned around for a moment, and shot Sophia a look. "Uhh, and Sophia...I'm glad your back."
