Love Can Find A Way
Chapter 3
Conrad was upset to say the least, he was sure that Gil was throwing his life away, but if that was what he was going to do then there was nothing Ecklie could do about it.
The rest of the team was happy for Gil and Sara. They all knew just how deeply they loved each other and they knew that neither Gil nor Sara would be happy with anyone else.
Gil had gone to the powers that be and arranged for Sara to be back on shift with him, he wanted his whole team together. "After all," Gil had said, "We are family and family functions better together."
Nick laughed. "Not always," he said, remembering some sibling rivalry he had encountered growing up.
That night after shift Gil sat at his desk filling out the application for the job in the rain forest, Sara was busy making wedding plans.
Sara stopped when she heard Gil sigh, "You ok?"
"Fine," was all he said.
The way Gil had said "Fine" had Sara concerned, she knew him to well.
Sara walked behind Gil and kissed the top of his head, "Are you sure?"
Gil leaned back against her, "Yes." But his "Yes" was no more convincing then his "Fine" was.
Sara was convinced that Gil was having second thoughts, not about getting married, but about the whole rain forest thing.
"We don't have to do this you know," Sara said, spinning his chair around so he was facing her.
Gil put his arms around her and rested his head on her chest, "Not marry the girl of my dream? I would be crazy."
Sara kissed the top of his head, "That is not want I was talking about."
Gil didn't say anything, he just put his hands under her top and gently cupped her breasts. Sara moaned. "I love you," Gil whispered, as he took off Sara's tee-shirt.
Gil pulled a nipple into his mouth and after flicking it with his tongue, sucked it tenderly.
He released her nipple and found her lips, tongues danced around each other as he removed her sleeping shorts.
Gil's mouth found her nipple again and while sucking her he inserted two fingers into her folds.
Soft moans turned to deep groans and squeals of desire.
Sara was getting so close, his mouth finding the sensitive flesh of her neck he kissed and nippled as he continued to pump his fingers.
Sara screamed his name her climax was so intense that she almost fell.
Gil cradled her in his arms and carried her to the couch. Easing her down he removed his boxers and sat as Sara straddle his lap facing him, he entered her.
Sara loved being this way. It was intimate and erotic, all at the same time.
Gil kissed her as he used his hands underneath Sara's buttocks so he could quicken his pace.
Sara's hips moved with him, matching his rhythm with her own, they became as one.
Gil pulled her down close to him as he released himself.
"I love you," he whispered as she fell forward, resting her head on his shoulder, "Never doubt that."
Sara smiled, "Never." "The paper work can wait," Gil said as he took her hand and went to the bedroom, "I want you in my arms."
Sara lay cuddled in his arms as she slept. Gil lay awake, staring at the ceiling.
He had concerns, a lot of them, but he didn't dare let Sara know. He wanted her, he wanted to be with her, of that he was sure, he was just not sure of the rest of it.
Gil had finally fell asleep but it did not last long, the phone ringing woke him.
"Gil," the voice on the other end said, "I need you in the park - right away." "What is it?" Gil asked Jim. "I'll explain when you get here, make it quick."
The phone woke Sara also, Gil told her about Jim's phone call as he dressed.
"I'll go with you," Sara said, throwing on some clothing.
The tone of Jim's voice alarmed Gil, "Well hurry."
In the car Sara said something about it being bugs.
In the park Gil could see Jim, a paramedic, David and Catherine. Gil walked toward them, "Bugs?"
"No," Jim said. He moved to one side, laying on the ground was a man covered in blood, sitting next to him was a small boy.
Gil looked at Jim, "The boy is signing."
Gil knelt next to the boy, within minutes Gil had an idea of what happened.
"His name is Keith, the DB is his father - Larry Black. A man, about as tall as his father wearing a blue shirt and black pants and gray sneakers, came up behind his father - shot him, grabbed his mother and took off that way." Gil pointed toward the river.
"Why was the boy not hurt?" Catherine asked. "Keith said that the man acted like he was not even there," Gil said.
Gil stayed with the boy as the others headed the way Gil pointed. "Grissom," Jim yelled. Gil walked toward the others, "His mother?"
"No," Jim said, "Another body." This body was full of bugs.
"Sara and I will take this one," Gil said," Catherine, call Nick and you two stay with Jim on the Black case." Catherine nodded and followed Jim as she called Nick on her phone.
Gil quickly busied himself with the bugs and Sara with the surrounding area.
Gil and Sara were at the lab processing their evidence when Gil's phone rang. After taking the call he turned to Sara, "I need to go to the hospital, they found the mother."
Sara nodded as Gil walked out the door.
Gil went to Mrs. Black's room, sitting next to her bed was Keith. After talking with her Gil touched her hand and went to Jim. "There was two of them, one raped her in the back seat of a car while the other drove. When he was finished the men traded places, after the second man was finished he pushed her out the door and sped away.
Gil and Sara's bug filled body turned out to be an elderly gentleman who had wandered away from his daughters house and got lost. The gentleman had died from a heart attack.
Gil and Sara notified the daughter. "Thank you," she said, "I have been so worried."
"I'm sorry for your loss," Sara said. "Thank you," the lady said, "But, thanks to you, at least I know where he is and just what happened to him."
Gil turned his focus to the Black case.
The next morning the attackers were found and arrested, later that day Gil and Sara were on their way out the door when Judy called to him. "Dr. Grissom, you have a visitor." Gil looked to where Judy pointed, Mrs. Black and Keith were standing by the door.
Gil and Mrs. Black signed back and forth for a while, as Gil was ready to leave Keith tugged at Gil's trousers, he signed something to Gil and then handed him a small stuffed toy. Tears fell from Gil's eyes, as Mrs. Black hugged Gil and walked away.
Sara went to him. "I told her we caught the man," Gil said, holding the small stuffed toy, "Keith gave me this. He said it is his favorite toy, he wanted me to have it as a way of saying thank you for helping."
That night Gil stood looking out the window, Sara came up behind him and put her arms around him. She lay her head on his back, "I tore up the papers." Gil turned to her, "What?"
"You can't leave, I seen it in yours eyes," Sara said.
"I don't want to lose you," Gil said, finally voicing his fear. Sara smiled, "You are my life. I'm not going anywhere."
Gil pulled her close to him and kissed her.
One more to sort of pull everything together and I think this one will be wrapped up.
