Hope
There are twenty four hours until Sara , Catherine and the others will be allowed to see their buddy . Damn ! So much time ….anything can happen .
Those words were in the every CSI mind .
"So , Nick , we were thinking at a party for yours and Greg's return . What do you think ?" Catherine said .
"Wow , this will be wonderful , amazing .. I think he'll love this as much as I do " he answered .
"Yeah … but we haven't decided about the music yet … you two guys have opposite tastes in music "
"I can't stand that morbid thing he calls music "
"And he hate your country . So what shall we chose ?"
"Something that will combine our both tastes …. Dance "
"Yeah , you're right . And we need to order a cake … what's your favorite flavor ?"
"Mine ? Vanilla"
"And Greg loves chocolate so much … A double cake , one part vanilla cream , the other chocolate , is this okay ?" Sara asked .
"Yeah , is fine . I just want out from hospital …" Nick said .
"You'll leave in two days , I talked to your doctor"
"Thank you Grissom "
"Twenty three hours" Warrick spoke , looking at his watch .
"Yeah …I hope everything will be alright " Nick said .
"Everything will be just fine , trust me , I know Greg very well " Grissom told them "he's a fighter , a real one"
"Yes , we have our own hero at the lab …. " Catherine let a tear fall down her cheek ."I just hope there will be no scars from the torture "
"Yeah me too "
"When I saw him … so badly injured .. this was the first time when I understood how much I'll miss him" Sara said ."he's just like Tony.. "
"Your brother name is Tony , right ?"
"Yeah , Michael Anthony . Tony for short . I've never seen him since I left San Francisco …"
"Wow .. five years …I haven't seen my sisters for ten years , I think . "
"Wow , Nick , so much time ?"
"Yeah .. too busy with work ."
"I'll give you a vacation to go and see them " Grissom said .
"Thanks , man I owe you ."
"Have you talked with Brass ?" Sara asked .
"Yeah , they took the bodies of Jonathan Wilder and Bobby Dawson "
"I never thought at Bobby like a criminal , really , he was a good person"
"No , he looked like one . He was a murderer , a bastard . He was a bastard who tried to kill us , Greg , just for an idiot revenge ."
"Yeah , but let put the bad things behind and think at the future "
"May we enter ?" someone asked at the door .
"Yes , of course , Archie , Wendy , come in" Sara said them .
"Hey , Nick , how are you doing ?"
"Fine , thanks Archie ."
"So , how is Greg ?" Wendy asked .
"He looks terrible I guess , the doctors lost him several times , but know he's in a coma . "
"But he's going to wake up , isn't he ?" the DNA lab tech asked .
"Yeah , he's too crazy to die , he'll scare even the death ." they laughed .
…………………
"There are two more hours until .." Warrick said .
They were all thinking at how Greg will look … they saw him bleeding and covered in dirt , but they couldn't realize very well how bad were really the injuries .
The two hours passed quickly . They were looking at the watch , hoping that in any minute a
Doctor will come and tell them to go see their friend .
"Guys , you can go in to see Greg Sanders " a nurse told them .
A smile was on everybody's face . They entered slowly in Greg's room . They were afraid of what they could see .
After they opened the door , they looked at the bed where Greg's body was lying . The view was horrible .
Greg looked very bad . His had was wrapped in a bandage , like almost all his body . The perfusions , there were three in his right hand , because the left one was hurt and putted in a cast. They remembered how . The gunshot .
They looked further on his body . His face was a mess , many cuts , not deep but probably painful were let to heal without bandages Bruises all over. He had no shirt .
In his mouth there were tubes that kept him alive and helped him breath . The biggest part of his chest was bandaged and the part let free showed bruising from the beat they gave him . The stabbings and whippings . All the memories were returning . All they saw on that tape , all the sounds were real . And now they knew that .
"Sweetie …" Catherine whispered .
They approached his bed . They saw his heart beatings on the monitor . They could hear his breathing , the beeping on the machines .
Sara took his hand in hers and hold it tightly . She never wanted to let him go . Never again . Catherine hugged Warrick . Grissom took Nick to see Greg .
"Oh my God , poor guy !" Nick said , seeing Greg's lifeless face .
They just sat there and looked at their crazy and full of life friend , who was now lying in a hospital bed , into a coma with a possibility to never wake up .
But they prayed every moment when they waited that God let him live , never giving up , hoping , because hope was the only thing left .
Greg , the most innocent guy in all crime lab has been kidnapped , the person who was always laughing , who told them so many jokes , who was like a little brother for them the crazy sweet and cute Greg, had been whipped , stabbed , shot , blown up , beaten ,almost killed , and all of this because of a man's wish for revenge . A sick man's game .
And now this guy's life was in the hands of a very cruel thing ; that thing was call faith .
