Disclaimer: I do NOT own CSI but I wish I did.
I wrote this story after my mum put me in a mood. A very dark mood, so if it's bad blame my mum, if it's good, I get all the credit.
The Final Goodbye
She could feel the burning of her tears as they rolled down her cheeks. She could feel the barrel of the gun pressed hard against the back of her head. Her breathing becoming more erratic at the thought of saying 'Goodbye' over the phone to her husband, the love of her life, her soul mate. She couldn't hold back the shrieks of fear which escaped her lips as tried to dial the familiar number one last time, for one final goodbye.
"Sara...Sara, where are you?" came a fear ridden voice over the phone.
"Gil..." she whispers.
"Sara...you're not alone there are you?"
"No...he...he wants you to hear this...I'm sorry."
"Hear what?" asks Gil, his breath caught in his throat.
"The end." she whispers.
She can hear a commotion coming through the phone. Shouts of fear and panic. Instructions being yelled through the lab to find her location.
"Gil...Gil listen to me. I need you...I need you to understand exactly how much I love you. How much you mean to me. How so unbelievably happy I've been with you..."
"Honey, don't. Please don't." he cries. "You bastard...let her go. Please let her go. Take me instead." he screams down the phone so to be heard loud and clear by her attacker. Every word breaking Sara's heart.
"Gil, put me on speaker, let me speak to all of you."
"I love you Sara, with all of my heart. You'll never know how much..." he trails off.
"I understand, I do. I love you so much it hurts. Never forget Gil. Please never forget." cries Sara.
"I promise." he whispers so quietly, she wasn't sure he'd said anything. "You're on speaker honey."
"Sara..." comes the frantic voices of everyone she loves.
"I love all of you guys, very much. I need you to do something for me..." she whimpers as the barrel of the gun is pressed harder against her head and the click of the safety catch rings through her ears. "No...No...please let me finish." screams Sara at her attacker.
"Hurry up." he growl back at her, whilst hitting her over the head with the gun causing her to cry out and stumble forwards. Gaining cries from through the phone. She hears her name being called and she pulls herself together, knowing that she has to finish this.
"Guys, please look after Gil for me. Remind him every day how much he's cared for and how much I loved him. Please don't let him close up and block you all out. He's going to need you more than ever. Look after each other and know that I loved all of you. You're my family...my best friends."
Sara can hear more cries and shouts coming from the lab but she can't process what's being said. Her breathing is shattered and her tears are falling thick and fast and...she know her time is almost up.
"I love you Gil." she cries, one final time.
BANG...
