Disclaimer I Still Don't Own CSI, And It's really Depressing Me.
"Oh god Brass, we need to help her!" Catherine looked over to the flipped over car. Tears threatened to fall down her sleepless face, but she held back.
"We can't Catherine, she's as good as dead." Brass was now holding Catherine in a hug.
"To hell we can't." Catherine pulled herself away and ran over to the side of the car. She looked and saw that the car wasn't on fire, nor was there any gas leaking from the car. She looked in the driver side window and took the hand of the woman pinned there. "It's going to be okay, I swear I'm going to get you out of there, I will, I promise you. Hold on, okay Sara." She never let go of Sara's hand she jus sat there, comforting her. "Listen, I know you can barely move but I'm going to need you to try okay. Can you try and do that for me Sara?" This time she got a head shake from Sara, Obviously she was still upset about earlier. "Listen Sara, about earlier, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you, I never want to hurt you, I never have wanted to hurt you. I love you Sara, and when you get back on your feet, which you will, I want to go have dinner with you okay." This time Sara nodded her head. "Now, will you try and move?" Another nod. "Okay Sara, I need you to suck in your stomach and chest as much as you can. Then I'm going to pull this out." She pointed to a piece of a broken off dash board, the piece that had the steering wheel attached. "Then you will drop down, but I'm going to slide in so you will land on me, and I can get you out from there." Sara nodded and looked at Catherine. "Ready, one, two, three." Sara sucked in and Catherine could see the pain on her face, but she kept going. She yanked the dash out slowly so that she could replace the dash board with her own body. The dash ripped out after one final pull, and Sara fell on top of Catherine. "It's okay Sara, you're okay now." She pulled Sara out of the car and lifted her up so that she draped over both of Catherine's arms.
"Catherine, you got her out?" Jim rushed over and took Sara in his arms. "How did you get her out? I mean, not even the paramedics could get her out."
"Well Jim, lets just say, I know my stuff. Now, someone needs to get her to a hospital." She looked at Sara who was now unconscious in Jim's arms.
"I guess I can take her." He looked down at Sara and sighed. "I still can't believe you saved her."
"Okay Jim, get her to a hospital." She smiled as she watched Jim carry Sara to his car.
Catherine pulled up the hospital the next day. She walked in and started looking for Kid 5 Room 507. When she spotted the room, she looked in. No one but Sara occupied the room. She picked up the chart from the door and looked at the injuries. Broken arm, broken ankle, collapsed lung, concussion, 4 broken ribs. Catherine was surprised she made it through the night. She put the chart back on the door and walked in. She took the chair beside Sara's bed. It was a grey color and looked like it had never been sat in. She sat down and took Sara's hand in her own, it was obvious that she was very drugged up and she was waking any time soon. She rubbed Sara's hand with her thumb. She brushed the hair off Sara's face and smiled at her. She could see she was pretty cut up and such, she hadn't noticed the cuts and bruises last night, but she also wasn't really looking. "I'm so sorry about everything Sara, I really am." A small mumble came from Sara, along with the fact that her hand was now being held in a death grip. "Oh god, Sara, shh it's okay."
"Catherine?" Sara's eyes opened a sliver, and then shut again. "Ow." She proceeded to do this over and over until her eyes were fully open. "Catherine, what are you doing here?" She hadn't noticed that she was still holding Catherine's hand.
"Well, I'm here because I wanted to see how you are doing, and it's apparent that you are doing okay." She smiled at Sara.
"If you call this doing okay, then I guess I am." She smiled back at Catherine and then spoke again. "Can you ask a nurse when I can be discharged?"
"Of course, on one condition though."
"And that condition would be?" She raised an eyebrow and smiled.
"That you stay with me until you are all better, you are in no shape to be living alone. I'll be happy to look after you, and there is a bonus, my kid is away for 3 weeks at camp, so there is no kid to try and kill you." She smiled as big as she could.
"Catherine, I don't want t intrude." She was about to continue when she was cut off.
"Sara that's nonsense, now 'm going to ask when you are discharged, I will be back in a second, don't go anywhere." She turned and started walking to the end of the room.
"Like I could!" She yelled after Catherine. As Catherine walked out the door she smiled as Sara's comment.
Catherine walked back in the room waving a load of prescription papers. "You can leave now if you want."
"Can you get my stuff?"
