In the Desert

Saphire then woke up this time, and felt a hot presence she then opened her eyes she then felt heat and saw the sun, she realised she was somewhere where had never been before, but she thought she was in a desert of some kind, she then looked across and saw a barren desert, she then checked her pockets and found a gun with one bullet, a compass and a map and on the map a red circle was in a patch of land. Saphire then knew what she had to do, she looked at the map and saw Las Vegas was north of where she was she turned the camera around and found north, she then tried to get up but couldn't as of her ankle being broken. She then tried to crawl and succeeded and followed the compass northward and then she saw a city she then crawled a bit more and realised her kidnapper had tried to kill her and thought she was dead when she wasn't and so she then made her way to where she thought she'd be safe she. An hour later she was closer to the city when her vision got blurred she tried to rub it off, but it wouldn't go away, she then collapsed as she tried to get up and saw blackness...

While Saphire had been tortured and put in the desert and then collapsed, the CSI team had tracked down her kidnapper who they found dead. The CSI's then wondered if they should give up, but they didn't as Greg knew Saphire was still alive, he felt it. The CSI's then found a clue, a map with a red circle on, they then knew it was the desert and they immediately then figured Saphire would be there, they then put a search party out, not knowing what to expect. While searching, Greg and Finn then saw something. "Pull over there" said Greg to Finn who was driving. Greg and Finn got out of the SUV and they then walked to something in the sand, he then bent down and found a compass. He then looked up and saw a body in the distance that had something pink on her. "Finn over there I think I found her?!" Greg and Finn then ran over to the body and it was Saphire, but she was alive. "Finn radio to Russell we found her get a medic too" Finn then ran to the SUV and radioed Russell and said to call for medics immediately. Greg checked for a pulse and found a weak one, he then said "Saphire can you hear me?" there was no response he then heard a groan and then looked down and saw Saphire was hurt, he then put pressure on the bullet wound with his hand, he then heard sirens and saw Russell and a emergency helicopter, he then felt Saphire's hand move she then said weakly "G-gr-greg?"

"Saphire it's going to be okay, hang on helps here"

"I didn't give up my secret"

"That's okay, but you look bad"

"He tortured me urgh-"

"Saphire hang on"

Greg checked for a pulse he couldn't find on he then checked for a heartbeat and heard a weak one, a really weak one. "Hurry up, we're losing her"

The medics then came and put her on a stretcher and onto the ambulance, Greg and Russell accompanied her in the helicopter, not knowing if the young CSI would make it at all...
