Chapter Four: Just For The Record Part 2


After the long day at work Sara felt like she was about to faint. She didn't really care how she looked right now, she just wanted to go home and sleep. Since Grissom wasn't in his office she went home. She didn't even bother to call him, he was probably busy with new evidence and she didn't want to interrupt. She'd barely made it to her car, swung the door open and collapsed in the drivers seat. She leaned her head against the headrest and closed her eyes. Listening to the rhythm of her heartbeat she calmed down. She slowly opened her eyes and put the key in the ignition.

The drive home went by so fast that she couldn't even remember which route she took. When she'd parked her car and locked it with the remote she felt the need to sleep really strong. "Take one for the team, Sidle!" She told herself. She practically ran up the stairs to her apartment. When she closed the door, she dropped her bag and shuffled to her room. She was just about to let herself fall onto the bed when her phone started to ring. With a groan she pulled it out of her back pocket and answered it. "Sidle." She huffed.

"Wow, you don't sound happy!" Catherine's voice cracked.

"Thanks." Sara said deadpanned.

"I am very sorry to call you right now but one of your suspects has been arrested and they need you at the station for the paperwork." Catherine said carefully.

Sara sighed, collapsed onto her bed and immediately got up again. "Dammit!" She whined. Walking over to her bag and picking it up again. "I actually wanted to sleep and then I get this."

Catherine sighed. "I'm sorry, I can call Metcalf to have some coffee ready for you?" She tried.

"Please do, I need caffeine!" She moaned as she opened her door.

Catherine smiled. "Well I hope you at least get a conviction out of it."

A grin appeared on Sara's face. "I think I'll deal." She said as the sun shined on her face.


"I bet that made you pretty angry." Brass said trying to get him to the point.

Faulture looked at Grissom who was just sitting there observing his every move. "Yeah. Well at least on one level I was angry. Most of it I felt sorry for giving her such a hard time. It wasn't like she didn't have anything better to do or worry about." He sighed.

"It got awkward so she moved over to a friends' place. And I'm a hundred percent sure of it that she never told anyone about it not even her best friends, not out of shame but to spare me." A very creepy grin appeared on his face. "One day I thought: Why the heck should I be sorry? Why isn't she the one doing everything to make it up? I still wanted her so bad. When I saw her I couldn't do anything but watch her. I knew she wasn't going to say yes if I asked her out again."

"What did you do?" Grissom asked. A little distracted as he saw Sara walk by with a case file in her hand. He noticed she was wearing the same clothes as last shift. She always changed before pulling another shift.

"I knew she had a physics class that was going to do something on campus, some kind of experiment. I waited until it was over and hid in the bushes she'd pass going back to the dorm. When she passed by I jumped out of the bushes and grabbed her from behind. She completely froze when she saw my face. I snatched some chloroform from the science lab earlier and put it on a piece of cloth. I put it over her mouth for her to lose consciousness." A tear rolled down his cheek. "I still remember her eyes before she dosed off. It was like I ripped out her heart. I dragged her into the bushes and finally got what I wanted. You know, I never had anyone better." He said with a satisfied smile on his face, which disgusted Grissom. "You could still see the scars of the sexual abuse in her childhood. It made her seem weaker than she looked."

Brass opened the file he was holding in is hand, he looked for the victims name to ask further questions but his mouth dropped when he read the name of the victim. He threw the case file on the table in front of Grissom and nodded at him to open it.

Grissom opened the file and searched for the name of the victim. SIDLE, SARA. He closed his eyes to stop his thoughts. He inhaled sharply and opened his eyes again. He looked at Faulture. "What happened after you raped her?" He asked trying to keep his composure. He wanted to jump on the table and attack the guy. He could kill him right here and right now.

"I left her there. The police came to my dorm room to pick me up. I was sentenced for ten years. When I got out I tried to make the best of it. In prison I realised I lost the most important thing in the world to me. My best friend." He stated.

Grissom wanted to know, he wanted to know more. He stood up and left the room. Almost running he walked over to a holding room where a man and an officer walked out of. Through the window he saw Sara picking up a case file. He rushed to the door and stopped her from walking out by grabbing her wrist. He searched for her eyes. "What can you tell me about Daniel Faulture?" He asked firmly.

Sara's expression changed from stunned to angry. She pulled her wrist out of his grasp as her eyes started to well up with tears. The look in her eyes was one he'd never seen before…
