Meanwhile in the crime lab Gil and Brass called Greg into the office. Greg stuck his hands his pockets "uh oh I'm in trouble.
Judging by the expressions on their faces it was something serious. Greg took a seat and Gil started to explain that they had just received a photograph by email. It was of Sara and it wasn't good.
"But she's at home in bed" Greg whimpered.
"We have already sent a patrol car to check and Nick and Ronnie are processing the scene. There looks to have been a struggle in the bedroom and the back door was jimmied open" Brass said in as delicate a tone as he could manage. This was all too much for Greg to comprehend and he demanded to see the picture
Gil and Brass looked at each other first before Brass said he had a right to see it. Gil turned his laptop around to show Greg a picture of Sara lying on a filthy mattress and cover in blood. One side of her face was swollen and bruised and Greg's t-shirt (the one she wears to bed when he's not home) was clung to her from blood and sweat.
Seeing the love of his life Greg freaked out and ran from the office towards the locker room almost mowing down Hodges on the way. Nick saw this happen and went after him "what the hell is wrong Greggo?" "Someone has got Sara" Greg barely managed to stutter. Nick was left standing in confusion as their pagers went off and Greg left the room in tears.
Gil had called a staff meeting. The two guys walked to the meeting room and Greg stood numbly at the back while Brass addressed the team. They all turned to look at Greg who didn't notice, he was too busy ringing Sara's phone in the hope that maybe the picture was wrong. He felt Catherine's arms around him and he succumbed to the embrace, he needed it and Catherine was almost like a mother to him and he felt lost right now.
He pulled away and left the room when the details were being discussed. A sure sign of denial and went to Archie to see if he had any lead on the email address but typically he didn't. Gil called Greg out and told him to take the night off but he refused he wasn't going to stop working until Sara was beside him.
