The call ended and Catherine sat, waiting patiently for Doc Robbins.
She didn't need to wait that long. After about 15 minutes she heard the familiar click of Doc Robbins' crutch along the corridor.
He presumed they would be in the break room. When he found Catherine there, his first thought was where Sara was. Then he saw her. This was defiantly not the usual effect of crystal meth. Usually the person would be hyper and excited, unable to keep still. Sara sat motionless, only with a slight sway.
'You were right to call me Catherine. Something isn't right.'
She nodded in reply. 'She won't let me touch her. So I don't know if she'll let you.'
The Doc approached Sara slowly, so as not to frighten her.
'Sara?' Again, she didn't respond. Doc Robbins reached out to her forehead to check for a fever. This time Sara did allow someone to touch her. Her forehead was red hot, which was common in users.
'Are you going to be staying with her until she comes down?'
'I guess so. Is there anything I need to know?' Catherine replied.
'The usual effects of crystal meth is a feeling of euphoria but I don't think that's the case here. She might start having hallucinations, paranoia and she might become aggressive.'
Catherine sighed. 'Lucky me.'
Doc ignored her comment. 'Sadly if this does occur, I can't give her anything to calm her down, it may make things worse.'
'How long will this last, Doc?'
'It all depends on how much she has in her system. That's difficult to determine now. It should all be over in a day.'
'So will I just take her home to bed?'
'I doubt she will sleep. Another effect of 'ice' is that they will stay awake for long periods of time. But yes, take her home. I doubt Ecklie will want one high, unresponsive CSI in his lab.'
Catherine smiled. 'Thanks for all your help Doc.'
'No problem Catherine. If you need any more help, check the internet. It will probably give you more information than I can.' They said their goodbyes and once again Catherine was left alone with Sara.
With a lot of struggling, Catherine finally got Sara to stand up. 'C'mon Sara. I'm taking you home.'
Surprisingly, guided by Catherine, she was able to walk out to the car without trouble. She was still unresponsive though, which worried Catherine greatly. Getting Sara into the car was a bit more difficult, but finally Sara was finally inside the back seat, as Catherine was afraid in case Sara decided to grab the steering wheel or something.
Catherine decided to take her back to her own apartment, as she might get anxious if she was taken somewhere she wasn't familiar with. She had only been to Sara's apartment a couple times so it took a little longer to find than she hoped. Once they arrived, Catherine fished out her keys out of Sara's bag and opened the front door to her apartment building. To get Sara into her apartment was fairly easy and she even seemed to notice her surroundings.
Inside her apartment, Catherine left her sitting on her sofa and went looking for a glass to fill up with water. Give her lots of liquids, Doc Robbins had said. So the glass she found in a cupboard was filled from the tap with cold water and placed on the coffee table in front of Sara.
'Thank you, Mom.' Hearing Sara talk surprised Catherine but having her called mom stunned her.
'Um...' she wasn't sure what to say, 'your welcome.' Sara reached out to the glass and gulped down the water.
So that's the second chapter. I know that these are just short chapters right not. Hopefully the next one will be much longer. Please keep reviewing.
