Chapter One ;

"Hello?" Gil answered as he picked up the phone.

"Gil! You have to help me, please!" Sara said. Gil could tell she was crying.

"Sara, what's wrong?" Grissom asked, he was immediately worried.

"She's coming to kill me, she's coming to get revenge because I told the police what happened." Sara said, her voice was weak and filled with sobs.

"Who?" Gil asked. He heard banging in the background, followed by Sara screaming. Then, a dial tone. Gil ran to his car and sped off to Sara's apartment.

Ten minutes later, Gil arrived at the apartment building. He ran up as fast as he could to Sara's apartment. The door was left open ajar, the blood drained from his face. No, oh, please no. He walked into the apartment cautiously. Sara was on the floor, apparently knocked out. Gil grabbed the phone and call 9-1-1.

Gil rode in the ambulance with Sara, holding her hand. They arrived at the hospital a few minutes later, Gil was told to stay in the waiting room. The more he waited, the more he worried.

Forty minutes later, a nurse came into the waiting room.

"Umm... Gil Grissom?" The nurse called, Gil walked over to her, hoping to hear that Sara was ok.

"Yes?" Gil asked.

"You can see Miss Sidle now, she woke up and asked for you." The nurse explained. Gil nodded and followed her down the hall to Sara's room. He sat down beside the white bed. Sara turned and stared into his worried eyes. They stayed silent for a couple minutes.

"I didn't see who hit me." Sara finally said, breaking the silence.

"It's ok." Gil said, holding her hand. "I'm just glad that you're safe."

"I didn't see who hit me, but I know who did." Sara said quietly. Gil looked at her with a confused look on his face. "It... it was my mom, she was released from jail two weeks ago." Sara said. Gil gazed into her eyes, he couldn't believe what she had said.

"Why?" Gil asked, squeezing her hand tighter.

"At first, she told the police that someone broke into our house and killed my dad. The police talked to me and asked me if anyone broke in, I said no." Sara explained, she paused. "I visited my mom in jail once, I think it was a month later, she asked me why I didn't lie and I told her I didn't want to. She yelled at me and I ran out of the room, I've never gone back." Tears came to Sara's eyes. Gil brushed a loose strand of hair behind her ear.

"It's ok, we'll find her." Gil assured her. A few minutes later, Sara fell asleep and Gil went out into the hall. He got on his cell phone and put Catherine and Nick on the case. After finishing the call, he went back into Sara's room, and watched her sleep.
