Grissom
His Mother had always thought him mocking was catching. The familiar pulsing behind his right eye made him vow he would never use the excuse of a migraine to retreat to the darkness of his office ever again.
Thankfully, his shift was just coming to a close when the attack began, so he quickly made his way out to his Denali, after informing Catherine he was leaving a little early tonight.
Climbing inside, he closed the door and just leant his head back against the headrest, trying to get a grip of his whirling thoughts.
Everytime he allowed himself to think of Sara, to explore his feelings for her, he felt so vulnerable. He wasn't used to feeling so strongly for someone.
He wanted so badly, to be with her, but he just couldn't. he worked so ahrd to get where he was in his career, he couldn't bring himself to throw it all away for love. For his happiness.
And that was why he believed she deserved someone better than him.
He groaned and finally turned his key in the ignition, the Denali's engine roaring to life. It purred gently as he navigated it out onto the paved road, feeling rather thankful tonight that he had chosen a house that was only a few moments away from the Lab.
As he drove, his mind wandered back to when Sara was dating Hank. She was doing just what he told her to do, and yet he punished her for it. But he realised exactly why he could never be with Sara. Why would she want him, an old, work obsessed man, when she could have the young, quite handsome and well built, evidently fun-loving EMT.
He will admit, but only in the confines of his own mind, that he was, just for a moment, happy when he heard that their relationship disintegrated. But only for a moment. Then anger set in. How could Hank hurt her like he did? How could he possibly want someone else when he had Sara?
She was perfect. She was the type of girl, that if you got, you held onto and didn't let go.
He sighed as he turned into his driveway, not hesitating in shutting off the engine, locking the jeep and making his way up the driveway.
Only minutes later, he was inside, standing his in bathroom after swallowing his prescribed medication for Migraines, hoping to prevent a full on attack. It was going to make him drowsy, and he would undoubtedly be out for the count for the next few hours.
Quickly brushing his teeth and washing his face, he shed his shirt and trousers, before pulling an old cubs shirt from his drawer and slipping it on before sliding into the comfort of his bed.
It was the softest mattres you could imagine, and he allowed himself to sink into it, before reaching over to the bedside table and switching of the lights. The neon red alram-clock told him it was just approaching 2:04 am.
Sleep screamed his name, and he silently thanked the scientist who invented these tablets.
He turned over, shutting his eyes on the room and the world, and allowed his aching body succumb to sleep.
Little over an hour later, when his home phone, sitting on the locker next to the sleeping body rang. With nobody awake to answer, it went to voicemail.
'Gil Grissom. Sorry I missed your call, leave a message after the beep."
A gruff sigh could be heard from the other end as it switched to recording the voicemail.
Brass' voice was unmistakeable. "Gil, where are you? I've tried your cell three times. It's urgent. Sara was attacked, you need to get down to Desert Palms now, it ah... It isn't looking good."
