Grissom’s Journal:

I wish there was someone I could talk to about this problem, Sara I’m not sure what to do about her; it’s really all my own fault. I’m the one who sent for her, I’m her supervisor and should have seen she was having a problem but I didn’t I choose to ignore it and now I’ll have to find a way to deal with it, but how? Maybe I should start at the beginning:

I though we needed someone out of the lab to deal with the Holly incident so I called Sara she had at one time been one of my best students and a friend. I was glad to see her, I knew she would get to the bottom of this. As it turned out Catherine is the one who ended up solving the case. After it was done Sara decided to stay that was fine we were now short a field operative and she is good at her job.

I think Catherine is taking Holly’s death personal I made sure I was there when she went to get the scraping from under her nails. She wanted to go in alone I let her know I would be waiting. I think it helped her knowing she wasn’t alone.

Catherine’s worried about Lindsey not wanting a birthday party that she’s taking after her and is getting weird I tried to tell her if her daughter took after her then she’d be just fine, I wanted to say more but, work called. Sara needs me to tape her up I do like the perk at work. Poor Sara she thought she had all the answers but I was one step ahead.

I got my new Tarantula today I don’t think Cath likes him so I was teasing her about scaring him, I don’t think she found it funny.
We had a fight today she called my townhouse a hermetically sealed condo, I corrected her on a few things she said I couldn’t let her know that her word hurt, especially what she asked what personal stuff. She’s right I don’t have much of a personal life, but seeing the way people screw up maybe I’m better off that way.

Today was a little strange while investigating a case at a party out in the desert some strange girl comes up puts her arms around me and tells me she loves me, luckily Warrick was there to lend a hand. He explained the girl was on ecstasy and they fall in love easily. There 3 things I really have a problem with Guys that hit their wives, sexual assault on children and the scum that deal death to kids. I am so glad the roller coaster is open at all hours, I needed to get away.

Chapter 2 episodes 7-11

I sometimes wonder if theses cases could get any stranger a skeleton was found inside the foundation, we thought is was the husband good thing I went back inside the wife had a gun pointed at Nick I had to pull my gun to get the woman to let Nick go. I also met Terri Miller today lovely lady she knew what my tarantula was and even wanted to hold it, unusual for a woman. I got to help her make a mold it was very sensual to say the least she seems a fascinating woman.

Sara wasn’t to happy about having to take care of the child, she has to learn we can’t always pick and choose the assignments Catherine was the one I needed inside the house to analyze the blood drops. Why do people think they can fool us by planting cult symbols? I have to admit Sara pulled a good one Catherine and myself letting us think she’d left the child in the car. I can’t believe Ecklie thinking he could walk in and take over this case sometimes that man goes just to far. All he thinks about is career. The case is about the people.

Our serial killer is back, another body in a tub. The boys were playing video game in the break room I’m afraid I jumped them a bit, this guy is good had to take the tapes to a friend to check them out I think he was checking out Catherine also. I had to go talk with Mr. Milander his new horror mask reminded me of Ecklie. The whole case is strange dead men making withdrawals then go back to Milanders and he’s gone as if he was never there.

Well this was an interesting crime scene a plane seem a passenger went crazy and tried to open the door and someone killed him only it turns out it was more then one and they got away with it.

She about gave me a heart attack on while we were working a case she got real emotional about it and then she asked me if I wanted to sleep with her scared the hell out of me I wasn’t sure I heard her right then she went on to explain, had me worried for a minute. I like Sara she’s a good friend but that’s all she is, I hope she understands that.
The case started with a dead body and bugs my specialties poor Sara first word out of her mouth “I hate Bees” she’s just can’t get use to it when the bugs start their job, its all part of life. She did bring me hot coffee, a blanket and sat with me while I conducted an experiment she’s a good friend. It took some doing but we got the guy.

Chapter 3 episode 12-15

Had Sara check into Warrick at a casino again he said he had quit, I need to have a talk with him. Sara’s not to happy thinks I should do more she just doesn’t see the whole picture. Catherine and I are working on a case missing women, checking out the trucking company everything is computerized I ask Cath is she thinks well ever become obsolete. She doesn’t seem to think so but it did help to solve the case.

A man in jail sent a package worried Jim a little says he didn’t do it I’ll check into it. Unknown to him Ecklie helped solve the case I got so angry and knocked a pot of coffee out of his hands and it gave me an idea checked it out and sure enough that was the cause of the fire, a kerosene lamp and a short in a socket Got an innocent man out of jail.

A bomb I really dislike them if it doesn’t destroy the evidence then the firemen do. One of the security guards is a suspect he seems like a nice person. I was watching a tape and asked Catherine what she saw she told me a 5’11 workaholic, and then smiled I guess I was standing in her way.
Nick had some trouble a girl he was with was murdered and he’s the prime suspect Cath said she’d handle it. If anyone can find the evidence to clear Nick she will. She cleared him no problem. The guard was innocent as he said; he was also killed saving high school kids from another bomb.


A bone was found Catherine calls it a crime scene when I called her on it about expecting the worst she just told me that way “I'm never disappointed, and sometimes I'm nicely surprised.” Trust her to come up with a remark like that. I think I freaked her out a bit when I tasted one of the bones, Bones are porous. They stick to the tongue. So what better way to test them? It was nice out there in the desert just Catherine and myself looking at the night sky so many stars. But anyway we put the bones together having a little trouble so Cath called in Terri, then teased me about have a dopey look when she’s around. I don’t think so Terri’s a brilliant woman, well case solved I went out to dinner with Terri that did go over real well got called back to work. that put an end to that evening.

Murder at the home of a legendary showgirl Portia Warrick wasn’t to happy when he got sent off to another case but that just the way it goes. When we were checking out the club where the deceased worked I guess I embarrassed myself a little and left my mouth hanging open Cath of course told me to close it. While I was checking out the victims dressing table I found a music box with Portia’s name on it Cath seen me smiling so I told her it was playing our song. We decided we had better check Portia’s house again and sure enough there were more music boxes with dates on them. While we were there heard some noise and checked it out it turned out to be the couple that were house-sitting, I closed the door and Catherine said caught in the act, I think that was the point. The sheriff about drove me crazy on this case calling all the time. We went up to the master bedroom and I teased Catherine and asked her if we should do the bedroom too. I wonder. I found a canine in the fireplace when I showed Catherine she nailed it “We've got a body without a murderer and a murder without a body.” It turned out they were brother and sister and they fed Portia to the fish.
