Chapter 2: Little Hero

The SUV's had driven on past, just like that; the trauma had lasted mere seconds. People began to slowly and shakily get up off the floor or out from under tables where they had taken cover. Some were crying, some trying to comfort each other and a few were moaning in pain which definitely wasn't good.

Greg lifted his head slowly as he had hung it over Oscar, still holding the little boy tight to his chest. He looked over to see Nick had thrown himself over Morgan to shield her; he was relieved they both seemed ok. He eventually dared himself to look Oscar over. Greg let out a great sigh of relief when he saw his son was alright too.

"Daddy?" Oscar said in a shaky whisper when he saw the sad look on his father's face, he didn't like it when people we're sad. The little boy himself was close to tears and scared as he wasn't sure what happened.

"It's ok Oscar" Greg said stroking his son's hair and kissing him on top of his head trying to comfort him "It's ok."

"Greg!" Nick called "Are you guys alright?"

"Yeah we're good" Greg called back and shakily got out from under the table. He fully took in the scene of chaos around him.

There was glass everywhere and some tables and chairs had been destroyed. Some people still sat on the floor in shock whilst others ran from the diner eager to get away. Some people were injured and Greg knew he had to help.

"We gotta call for some medics and some cops" Nick said as he and Morgan came over to the other CSI and his son.

"Alright I'll come help. Oscar I need you to stay with your Auntie Morgan Ok?" Greg said handing him over to the blonde woman. He wanted to get his son and Morgan away from here as quickly as possible in case danger came back, he knew Nick wouldn't leave.

"No, daddy!" the little boy started to sob; he was still scared and didn't want to leave Greg's side.

"Everything's going to be ok kiddo" Greg said, the sight of his son so upset always broke his heart "Daddy needs to go and help some people, ok?" Oscar nodded.

"I'll take good care of you" Morgan said cuddling the little boy and taking him outside to help calm him down.

"Alright everyone we're CSI!" Greg called to everyone else in the diner whilst Nick called for backup. "This is now a crime scene, so please don't touch anything. Medics are on the way!" he reassured the injured people.

There was a waiter who had a bullet in his arm, a woman with one in her leg and another man who had glass stuck in his shoulder blade from the smashed window. Greg went to assist the man whilst Nick instructed a waitress to keep pressure on the waiters wound and he did the same for the woman, but thankfully they were flesh wounds and would hopefully prove not fatal.

"Your little boy?" the man Greg was assisting asked quietly, he sounded like he was in a lot of pain "Is he ok?"

"Yes, he's fine thank you for asking" Greg said politely he was doing his best to clean the blood on the man's shoulder and tried to remove some of the bigger pieces of glass without causing the man too much pain.

"He's two, right?" the man asked with a small smile.

"Yeah, how'd you know?" Greg asked with a smile, he decided it was best to keep the man talking until the ambulances arrived to distract him from the pain.

"I have a grandson, he's four now, but I remember him being that age" the man replied "His name's Felix. Good age isn't it; they're so fascinated by everything and are finally discovering the world. "

"Yeah he's a little monster when it comes to exploring" Greg replied with a slight laugh "He's crazy, just like his daddy."

The man laughed "What's his name?"

"Oscar"

"That's a nice name" the man replied.

The sounds of sirens from outside made Greg look out the window and he was relieved to see the familiar flashing lights of police cars and ambulances fast approaching. Medics and police officers ran into the diner only moments later followed by Russell and Sara.

"I better go and help my friends process" Greg said to the old man "the medics will look after you now"

"What's your name son?" the man asked.

"Greg, Greg Sanders"

"Well thank you Greg Sanders, you did a good job of taking care of me and that little boy is lucky to have a caring and protective father like you" the man said with a genuine smile.

"Thank you sir" the young CSI smiled back and left the medics to work whilst he went to talk to the others.

"Thank God you guys are alright!" Sara exclaimed giving Greg a hug after she'd given one to Nick. She'd been so worried on the ride over and couldn't bear the thought of losing any of her surrogate family, which now included Oscar and Morgan as well.

"Finn's outside with Oscar and Morgan" Russell explained not wanting Greg to worry, he too was deeply relieved everyone was alright "I think they're ok"

"Thanks but I better go and see them anyway" Greg said and quickly dashed from the diner wanting to check on his son and Morgan for himself.

"Daddy!" the little boy called as soon as he saw Greg step through the door, he nearly leapt from Morgan's grasp as he just wanted a hug from his father.

"Oscar" Greg said quietly taking his child from Morgan and holding him tight.

He couldn't believe how close he could have been to losing his son and that still made him feel scared. If anything had happened to Oscar…well Greg didn't know what he'd have done but whoever was involved in the drive by would have not lived another day.

How many times? Greg thought how many times am I going to have to get frightened about losing him? Greg didn't realise how wet his eyes were until a tear fell down his cheek and Finn put an arm around his shoulder as his body was lightly shaking.

"Greg, he's ok" Finn reminded him quietly, he needed the reminder "Oscar's ok"

"Daddy, no sad" Oscar said when he saw the tears; he didn't want his father to cry.

"Sorry Kiddo" Greg said smiling at the little boy "It's just, I love you so much"

"Love you daddy" the little boy replied warping his arms around his father's neck. They stayed hugging for a while, Greg needing the comfort from his little boy.

"Oscar, why don't we go back to the lab and you can see Hodges and Archie?" Finn suggested after as they all know they had a job to do. She also knew the two lab rats always made the little boy laugh.

"Ok" Oscar relied and even though Greg was a little reluctant to let his son go at first he knew he needed to stay at the diner and help, and he knew that Finn would take care of Oscar. "Bye daddy, bye Any Morg, I love you" the little boy waved from Finn's arms.

"Bye sweetie" Morgan said waving at the child and Greg gave him a quick kiss on the forehead and gave Finn the keys to his car so she could take Oscar in his car seat. Greg continued to wave as the little boy sleepily rested his head on Finns shoulder as they walked away.

"Oh my God, I'm so sorry Morgan, are you ok?" Greg asked after Finn left with Oscar. He felt bad for not asking sooner.

"Yeah I'm fine, Nick made sure of that" she said with a smile. "I'm just glad Oscar's ok" she added and Greg gave her a hug to show how glad he was she was alright.

"We better go help" Greg said, Morgan nodded and they walked inside.

"You kids alright?" Russell asked when the two youngest CSI's approached him, Sara and Nick.

"Yeah we're good" Morgan said looking at Greg. "And Nick, thank you for protecting me the way you did, it was so good of you."

"Well if there's one thing you should know, I take good care of my younger siblings" he said indicating to Sara and Greg and they had to nod in agreement. "As far as I'm concerned you're my kid sister Morgan"

"Thanks Nick" the younger woman said flinging her arms around the Texan's neck as she was overcome with emotion. She'd never expect him to say something like that after they'd only known each other several months "that means a lot"

"Ok guys did any of you actually see the cars?" Russell asked. Now he was convinced everyone was alright he was determined to get to work.

"Actually it was Oscar who spotted them first" Greg said proudly "if he hadn't had asked about them we probably wouldn't have noticed and had time to duck out of the way".

"He's a little hero" Sara said with a smile.

"He certainly is" Russell agreed "Greg, did you actually see the cars in detail?"

"Yeah I did, have a licence plate for one of them too I think"

"Ok good, I want you to take the CCTV footage from outside the diner back to the lab and look at it, Finn can help. See if we can get a clear image of the vans or the people in it, then we can get cops out searching. Sara and I will stay and process here. Nick and Morgan I want you guys to go to the hospital and process our wounded victims."

"Yes sir" All four younger CSI's said with a salute and they couldn't help but laugh as Russell rolled his eyes. It was something Finn had told them to do as she knew it use to really get on his nerves.

Greg was happy to go back to the lab as it meant he could see Oscar again, what he was going to do with Oscar he wasn't sure, but he was sure Finn would be willing to cover for him if need be. He collected the CCTV footage and drove back to the lab in Finn's car as they had swapped keys.

He found it hard to concentrate on the road as all he could think about was if Oscar hadn't seen the cars, then they could all be dead. If something had happened to his little boy or one of his friends….there would have been hell to pay. Greg was suddenly aware of how hard he was gripping the steering wheel as his anger was boiling over; he exhaled deeply in an attempt to calm himself down.

Greg didn't care what happened to him just as long as he kept Oscar safe. When Oscar was first born his psychopathic baby sitter had tried to kidnap him and nearly jumped off the roof of a building with Greg's then four month old boy in her arms. Of course, he, Catherine, Nick and Sara didn't rest until Oscar was safe and sound and back in Greg's arms.

On that day Greg had vowed he would never let anything bad happen to his son ever again, Oscar would always came first. Besides, after the incident Greg had made Nick and Sara Oscar's godparents and he knew they would take good care of his little boy if anything were to happen to Greg.

As soon as he arrived at the lab Greg quickly parked the car and ran through the doors eager to find his son.

"Daddy!" he turned around to be met by the little boy running towards him with a big grin on his face, Greg gave an equally big grin.

"There's my little monster!" he said squatting down and Oscar ran into his arms. Greg stood up and spun his son around, Oscar giggled in excitement.

"Faster, daddy, faster!" he laughed.

"Wow that looks fun; I hope I get a turn next!" Finn said approaching the two boys and she gave Greg a wink. "He's been an angel" she said ruffling the little boy's hair.

"I a good boy!" Oscar said happily and Greg kissed the top of his head.

"You totally are" Greg said touching his nose against his little boys who giggled. "If you hadn't had spotted those cars, daddy probably won't have been able to hide us from the bad people" he looked into the small child's deep brown eyes, the eyes he was pleased to say Oscar had inherited from him. "I'm so proud of you"

Oscar wasn't sure what that meant "Good?" he asked, assuming it was since his father was smiling.

"Yes, very, very good" Greg said giving his son a kiss on the head once more; he didn't want to ever let him go.

"Cookie den?" the little boy asked hopefully. Greg and Finn laughed and Oscar frowned wondering what they found so funny, he was being serious.

"Yes I think that can be arranged" Greg said taking his son off into the break room.
