Ch. 7

Catherine comes to lead Grissom back to the chairs. He is shaking and unable to stand any longer, He collapses into the chair thinking "Sara.......please don't die."

The world moved in slow motion for the next twenty minutes. The surgeon came back out. Grissom stood again; too afraid to ask the question.

Surg: "We almost lost her. Her heart stopped beating, but we were able to bring her back.

Griss: "Can..........I see her?"

Surg: "Briefly, she needs to rest."

Griss: "Thanks"

The surgeon leads Grissom to Sara's room. He sees her for the first time all hooked up to machines and monitors. It hardly looked like Sara.

The surgeon puts a hand on his shoulder and suggests "Talk to her. She can hear you. It may help."

Grissom walks over and takes her hand. He sits in the chair and puts his head close to hers. He whispers to her.

Griss: "Sara..........Sara"

She stirs and opens her eyes. She is unable to speak because she has a breathing tube down her throat. grissom strokes her hair.

Griss: "Shhhh.......just rest. I love you. I'll be right here with you."

Surg: "We'll know more in the next twelve hours. It all depends on her liver. She had servere truama to her liver, that's where all the bleeding came from. If her liver continues to function, she should make it."

Griss: "Thank you. Is it alright if I stay, I don't want her to wake up alone."

Surg: "Yes, just let her rest."

Griss: "Thanks"
