Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters, although if Greg, Grissom, Nick or Warrick are on sale then I am there.

A/N I was going to post this story as a whole but it is taking me too long so here is chapter 1 for now.

"Sara, watch out," she heard Grissom shout but before she had a chance to respond she heard a gunshot. She turned instantly to find Grissom standing in front of her, blocking her body. He fell onto his knees clutching his shoulder. Before Sara realised what she was doing she had shot the shooter as he ran away. She watched him fall before kneeling next to Grissom and taking hold of his hand. The tears were already filling up in her eyes. She looked at the blood pouring from his wound, she put her hand over it and with the other hand phoned the paramedics and Brass, she knew if the other guy was still alive he would need to be arrested.

"Griss I need to go and check on the shooter, give me two seconds," she told him lifting her hand off his wound and running over to the body lying motionless. She took the gun from his hand and placed it in an evidence bag.

When she returned to Grissom a pool of blood had surrounded his body. She took his hand once again.

"Griss it's okay I'm here," she told him.

"Sara I need to tell you something," he managed to say.

"No, you are not saying goodbye, you're going to be fine, I won't let you go," she told him as she began to cry uncontrollably.

"Sara, I.. l.." His words trailed off as his eyes closed. Sara leaned over him touching his face and pleading with him to open his eyes again.

"Griss come on, don't do this, I love you and I need you to know that I love you, please."

She was in floods of tears, when the paramedics arrived. They put Grissom on a stretcher and hurried him out of the building. She followed them out and saw Catherine and Nick arriving with Brass.

Nick ran straight over to Sara, who collapsed into his arms. Catherine ran over to the paramedics as Grissom was being loaded into the back of the ambulance. She could hardly look at him, he had blood all over him and an oxygen mask was covering his face.

"Where are you taking him?" She shouted to them. They looked at her strangely wondering who she was. She held up her badge to them.

"Mount Carmel hospital," the young paramedic shouted before closing the door.

She walked back over to Nick and Sara, she could see how destroyed Sara was, she was covered in blood and her eyes were red and swollen where she had been crying.

"Their taking him to Mount Carmel hospital," Catherine told them as they helped Sara into the car.

"Sara sweetie, we'll take you home and then we'll go the hospital," Nick told her as he sat in the driver's seat.

"No, I want to see Grissom," she said.

Catherine was sitting next to her, she took hold of her hand "Sara, you need to go home and get some rest."

"I need to be with Grissom, I won't be able to rest," she said as the tears began to flow from her eyes again.

Catherine wanted to cry aswell after seeing Grissom on the stretcher, but she was trying to stay strong for Sara.

"Sara what happened?" Catherine asked.

"I don't know all I remember was Grissom shouting me, then there was a gun shot and I turned to find Grissom standing in front of me, blocking my body, he...he saved my life," she told them.

"Well what happened to the guy who shot him?" Nick asked as they stopped at an intersection.

"What do you mean? He's been arrested hasn't he?" Sara asked Nick

"He's dead," Nick told her.

Sara's eyes grew wider.

"You didn't know he was dead?" Catherine asked noticing the shock on Sara's face.

Sara shook her head.

"Well what happened to him after he shot Grissom?" Nick asked as he drove into the hospital car park.

"I shot him, I just held my gun up and fired, the least I hoped to do was get him in the leg so he couldn't run anymore, I can't believe I killed him."

"Yeh well he deserved it" Nick said angrily as he parked the car.

They all climbed out of the car and entered the hospital in silence.

Nick had his arm around Sara, trying his best to comfort her.

They approached the nurse at the front desk.

"Excuse me, a man just came in with a gun shot wound, do you know where he is?" Catherine asked the older nurse.

"Oh yes dear, he was taken to surgery, third floor"

"Thankyou" Catherine said. Nick and Sara followed her to the elevator, they rode up in silence.

There was a nurses station right in front of the elevator on the third floor.

"Can I help you?" The young nurse asked as they approached the desk.

"Yes we're with the man who was just brought in with a gun shot wound, Gil Grissom" Catherine told her.

"Are you family? Only family are allowed to wait"

"Yes I'm his sister, this is my husband" She said pointing at Nick.

"And this is his wife" Nick added holding on to Sara.

"Okay, well if you follow me I can take you to the family waiting room"

"Thanks, is there a phone around here?" Catherine asked.

"Yes there is one just outside the waiting room aswell as a coffee machine" The nurse told her.

They were led to a room which was completely white with five chairs and a small table in the middle of the room.

"A doctor will come and speak to you as soon as possible," she told them before leaving.

"Okay I'm going to go and phone the sherriff and Warrick, he needs to get the evidence off Brass."

"I'll go and get us some coffees, will you be alright by yourself Sar?" Nick asked her, she was rolled up in a chair, staring at her shirt which was covered in Grissom's blood. She nodded.

They both left.

Almost instantly the doctor entered the waiting room. He noticed Sara curled up on the chair.

"Excuse me are you with Mr Grissom?" He asked her.

"Yes how is he?" She asked, hoping the doctor would tell her some good news.

"Well he was very badly injured, he lost a lot of blood..."

"Pease doc just tell me, will he make it?"

A/N Okay I thought I would leave it with that cliffhanger. Will he be okay?

Next chapter is already done so I'll post it soon.
