Only two CSIs make it out, and the entire team struggles with the aftermath. Catherine and Warrick try to hold what's left of the team together, even when it means putting it before their personal lives. Wendy strives to fill Greg's footsteps and fulfill her own dreams as she finishes her proficiencies, while Nick is devastated by grief -- and heartbreak. Grissom decides that an addition to the team is what everyone needs -- or is it just what he needs? Finally, Catherine recognizes a pair of melancholy eyes on the man who took her, Nick and Greg hostage on that gruesome night, bringing back memories of a tragic love story of years far past.
Rating: T (so either PG-13 or R with the movie ratings, I think)
Warnings: Heavy themes
Pairings: NSxGS, CWxWB, slight GGxSS, WSx??,...
Beta/Help: LaughableBlackStorm (overall) and LostLadyKnight (Yo!Bling consulting)
Disclaimer: If I owned it, Greg would get more screentime, Warrick wouldn't be dead, Yo!Bling would be canon and The Love would get wayy more subtext. Insert other conditionals here.
Timeline: Season 8 (Sara is in Frisco, Warrick is alive and divorced, and Wendy is set on becoming a CSI)

LAS RELACIONES A ESCONDIDAS, PART 2... Hidden Relationships -- Warrick shook his head, trying to find the right thing to say to calm the situation. He could only think of one thing, though he couldn't help but doubt the accuracy of the hypothetical assertion. Nonetheless, weighing the fear that was, no doubt, pounding through Catherine's mind, he said it anyways. "I'll find it."
