Chapter Three
Lady Heather was taken by ambulance to Desert palm and whisked into a room. Doctors and nurses tended to her and soon she opened her eyes. Grissom was sitting in the chair beside her holding her hand.
"What are you doing here? I thought you had a plane to catch" she said.
"I delayed my flight because I was worried about you. Has your ex Jerome been notified?"
Heather shrugged. "I haven't seen him since our last argument about Alison"
After Gil had spoken to Jerome almost two years before and introduced her to her grand daughter the two of them had been more or less on speaking terms but a few weeks ago Jerome and Heather had a major fight about Heather's new club and how it would affect Alison in the future. Jerome threatened her to close down the club or never see her grand daughter again. Heather was in the middle of some deals to possibly sell off her club when the incident happened and then she was injured.
"Was he involved in your attack Heather?"
"I don't know" she said and tears flowed. "Grissom, don't go, don't leave me"
Grissom's shoulders sagged. This is why I want to leave Vegas. I don't want to be around her anymore. I think Heather is a great gal, but I want my Sara.
"Heather, I can't stay. I made arrangements for Catherine Willows and Nick Stokes to take over for me. I am leaving Las Vegas on the first flight to San Francisco. I already delayed it too long…"
"It's Sara isn't it. You are leaving for her"
"It is a choice I have been grappling with for a very long time Heather. This latest incident with you and your club pushed it over the edge. I have to leave. "
Heather turned away from him. "I hope you two will be very happy together Grissom. You two deserve each other"
Gil sighed. He didn't want to leave like this. He didn't want to leave with Heather angry at him. He got up and headed to the door. "I am sorry I can't stay longer Heather. I am getting burnt out and If I don't go away I don't know what will happen to me."
Heather was silent, tears streamed down her cheeks as Gil Grissom left the room.
