Chapter 4 - Lost Love
Interview Room 1
Brass was walking back towards where Sara was hiding. He bumped into Catherine.
"Hay Jim."
"Oh! Hi."
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah my minds' somewhere else."
"Want to talk about it?"
"Not right now. It's not up to me."
"Has it got to do with Sara hiding in the interview room?"
"How did you know she was there?"
"I left a case file in there and went to get it. I think I made her jump! Dose Gil know she's here?"
"Not yet! He will when he's done doing whatever he's doing."
"Is she ok? She's not herself."
"I let you know after Gil has spoken to her." With that Brass knocked and went in.
Sara looked up. "He's not coming is he?"
"He'll be here in a bit. Are you ready to see him?"
"No. But I don't think I'll ever be ready."
Knock, knock
Brass looked at Sara who nodded. He opened the door a jar, saw Grissom and let him enter. Sara had now moved to a standing position with her back towards the door.
"How can I help you Jim?" Gil asked. At the sound of his voice Sara could feel shivers down her back.
Brass looked at Sara and said. "When you're ready, I'll be outside." With that Brass left them alone.
"How can I help you miss?" Gil said as he sat down. Sara felt a tear roll down her check.
"I'm sorry you're being dragged into this. I don't know what else to do. I wont blame you if you hate me and never want to see me ever again."
With a raised eyebrow he said "Sara?" She slowly turned round. She was holding her sons' teddy bear. Sara sat opposite Gil and started to tell him about the days events. As she got near to the end, she started picking at her nails, and keeping her eyes focused on the floor. She finished telling Gil what had happened to the child.
"I don't know what I can do. Are the parents on their way?" With that Sara looked Gil straight in the eyes and said "The child that got taken. He's mine Gil."
"I'm sorry I didn't know. Jim didn't say anything."
"That's because I told him not to. I wanted to tell you myself. There's something else I need to tell you."
"Ok."
"My son... He's yours!" Sara was now standing again with her back towards Gil. Grissom just sat in his chair taking it all in.
"You hate me don't you? Of course you do! I've kept this a secret from you for 3 years." Grissom put his hands on her shoulders. He felt her jump.
"The past is the past. What matters now is getting our son back." Gil turned Sara around so he could look her in the eyes. He put his hand on her cheek and brushed her tears away.
"I've missed you." Gil said as he put his arms round her.
This was the first time in a long while that Sara felt safe. Grissom could feel her relief.
"Did you bring your letter?"
"Yes. Jim bagged it and put it in my bag."
"Can I have it? I'll get Catherine working on it right away."
"Sure"
"Dose she know anything?"
"Only that I'm back. I was very distant with her."
"That's understandable. Do you want me to tell her the basics to the case?"
"Yeah. I'll tell her the rest when she's free if that's ok with you?"
"Don't worry we'll get him back. And don't worry about the others; they've missed you. We all have missed you." Sara started to cry again. Gil left the room to find Catherine.
