I don't own anything, I just have a huge love for CSI. Warning very dark content as the story goes on. You have been warned.
It seemed just like any other day. I had been called in on my day off, actually both of us had been called in on our night off. I had planned to take her out to dinner at a small restaurant a few miles out of town but that was cut short with the never
ceasing beeping of my pager followed by that all too familiar ring of my cell phone, I heard hers ring from the bed room as soon as I flipped mine shut. I followed the sound of her voice to our bedroom. "I'll be in as soon as I can Cath, give me a
half hour" she looked up and rolled her eyes at me at she said goodbye to our colleague. "Well I guess I'm working tonight" Sara said flatly, throwing her cell phone on our unmade bed. She took her blouse off to get into some work appropriate attire.
She discarded it on the floor and flopped down on the bed. I giggledsoftly at her before gently resting myself beside her on the bed. "Well I guess that makes two of us" I say softly against her skin making a path of kisses down her bare arm. "We
don't have time for that now, bug man" Sara said as she began to sit up. As she sat on the edge of the bed I ranmy fingers down the small of her back. It was one of my favorite things about her, so slender and was wearing jeans and a rather revealing
black lacebra that left little to the imagination. "We can make time, who cares if we are a little late? We aren't even supposed to be going in at all". She turned to face me giving me that beaming gap tooth smile that made my heart skip a beat. Sara
shook her head and stood up from our bed walking to her drawer to retrieve a work appropriate shirt. "Catherine said Brass is waiting at the lab to give us a rundown on our case, we can't keep the good caption waiting, now can we...people might start
to get suspicious if were both late". She pulled the black V-neck t-shirt over her head as I stood up from the bed meeting her face to face. I pulled her into a passionate kiss. When we parted I caught that all too familiar passion gleamingfrom her
beautiful browneyes. "If I can't have you now then I'll just have you later, so you better prepare yourself" As I turned to exit the room I heard her giggling under her breath before calling out " Oh I think I can handle whatever comes my way Doctor"
I smile to myself as I grab my car keys out of their designated bowl on the kitchen island."I'll meet you at the lab my dear". I heard her rummaging around the bedroom trying to get ready in a quick fashion before I hear her respond back to me " I'm
right behind you, I'll see you there" with that I opened the front door and left.
Iwas snapping some overalls of the crime seen. A double homicide at a secluded cabin near lake Mead. It was about 2am. It had taken awhile for Brass to give us the rundown and then reach our destination out near the secluded was pitch black, I'm
so used to working at night but when you're in the city everythingis lit up by the strip you sometimes forget what true darkness feel like. I look up to a see the slender chocolate eyed brunette that I had become so accustomed to working with inspecting
some bushes on the far side of the cabin. I had crouched down to snap a shot of a mysteriously pool of blood that seemed extremely out of place whenI heardher call my name. "Griss, do you have any extra batteries? My flashlight's giving out" I smirked
at the thought of the extremely thorough Sara Sidle forgetting to have extra batteries in her usually stocked kit. "Oh, you didn't bring any of yourown" I shouted back to her seeing the glare she was now giving me "You know ...technically we are supposed
to restock ourfield kits before every case" I said sarcastically. The look she gave me could have killed me if it had been a deadly weapon. Her scold turned into a smile as she responded "Well technically I'm not even supposed to be here tonight,
I actually had a date I had to miss for this." She rattled off back to me. "Bummer, I'm sure he's very disappointed" giving her a slight smirk.I stood up after being satisfied with my shots of the blood pool."I've got some in my field kit, it's on
the counter in the kitchen." I watched Sara walk her way into the cabin with her flickering flashlight light and noted how cute she was when she was concentrating on a case. I don't know why I left my field kit in the cabin, in all honestly I should
of had it with me ...then maybe things would have been different...but I can't change that now. I scannedthe wooded area taking pictures of the towering oak treesand shrubs that surrounded the cabin. You'd really have to be looking for this
place to find it. It was small, only one story, but it was well maintained and had a stone walkway toward the entrance. That's when I heard it. If It hadn'tbeen so quit out in the woods I wouldn't have even heard her. A muffled scream. I stood up
and called for her. "Sara"...no answer. I walked slowly up to the cabin door which she had left open , as soon as I entered through the large oak doorway I heard that all too familiar sound. "Click" with that I felt cold metal against my right temple.
"Don't say a word or I'll blow your brains all over this place " I heard adeep voice grumble from the side of the main enterance. I stopped dead in my tracks. Every instinct I ever had told me to reach for my gun. Maybe I should have ,then maybe
I could have stopped all this from happening. "I'm not a cop, I'm a scientist" I blurted out suprised that I could even form a complete laugh came from the man who held my fatein his hands"I know exactly who
you are old man , now drop your gun on the ground" I guess I stood still for a few seconds too long because the next thing I heard his deep voice mutter are words I'll never forget. "Put the gun on the ground or I'll blowthat pretty girl over
there's face off" my eyes immediately darted around the room looking for Sara. Out of the shadows steps another large figure , he had to be atleast 6 feet tall,his face was covered by a black ski mask. In his arms he held the most precious thing I
had ever known and he had a gun to her head. My eyes meet hers and to be honest I don't think I've ever seen her so scared in her life, whether she was more scared for me or herself I'm not sure. The man holding Sara tightened his grip around her
waist and pulled her as close to him as he possibly could, he nuzzled his covered face into her brown hair and inhaled deeply. I watched As she squeezed her eyes shut and heard the slightest gasp escape hermouth. I took a step toward her not
thinking of the other man holding his gun to my head. "let her go" I screamed, that's when I felt it...the hard metal barrelof a handgun came crashing down into my skull...after that everything went black.
Well there is chapter 1! Hope you enjoy, please review and let me know what you think and if I should continue. Things only get darker from here. Much love to my CSI family everywhere.- Ali
