Disclaimer: CBS owns CSI. If this is a surprise to you, I recommend reading more fanfiction.

Spoilers: Crash and Burn, baby, Crash and Burn.

A.N. I have never had a beer. I don't know how much beer constitutes a "beer". I don't know how long it takes to drink one. I don't know if bars in the greater Las Vegas serve beer in draft or bottle. Just read and laugh at me later.

This story is somewhat of an experiment. Actually, it's a huge experiment. And I almost got the old Catherine back too.
