Next chapter as promised. I think you may enjoy this one! (Well at least I hope you do) x
Well this chapter is earlier than expected. I can't be arsed to go to sleep for 2 hours when I have to be up in about 1hour and 15 mins. Who needs sleep anyway?
Chapter 11
Sara and Gil awoke the next morning in each other's arms. Sara was feeling a little better but not allot, so she got up washed and showered and then rang the doctor's surgery and booked an appointment for 10:30am the same day.
Gil left for the lab 20 minutes before Sara had to leave for her doctor's appointment. She had tried to eat dry crackers for breakfast but apparently her stomach didn't approve so another round of vomiting began. Sara actually found herself wondering how it was possible to still being able to be sick. She hadn't eaten for two days but she was being sick as if she had eaten 10 big Macs from McDonalds followed by 10 portions of large fries (my kind of meal lol *joke*).
At 10:00am Sara got into her car armed with a paper bag just in case and made her way to the doctor's surgery. She pulled up at 10:20am and booked herself in. She then grabbed a glass of water from the dispenser and sat as close as possible to the toilets.
Sara was in a world of her own and falling asleep due to the face she had only had about 3 hours sleep that night. She was rudely pulled out of that world when her phone started vibrating. She pulled it out and read the text message.
'I love you. Ring me when you have seen the doctor and let me know how you are. Love you Gil xxx'
Sara smiled at the text message and then heard her name being called over the loud speaker to see Doctor Edwards. Sara put the phone away and grabbed her bag and headed towards corridor 1 and knocked on Dr Edwards's door. 'Come in' called a voice from the other side. Sara let herself in.
"Ahhhhh Miss Sidle, what can I do for you today" Dr Edwards said in a cheery tone of voice. Sara explained how she had been being sick now quite often for the past few days and how nothing seemed to ease it. Dr Edward's looked deep in thought as she told her the symptoms.
"Right" He simply said when Sara had finished her story. "I don't believe that this is linked to the incident..." he grimaced trying to find the right word to describe the rape attack. "... but I have a hunch at what is causing this but I need to ask you a few questions and then run a few tests based on those answers"
Gil was starting to panic now. He had text Sara over 2 hours ago and she still hadn't replied and she wouldn't pick up her phone. He knew her appointment was at 10:30am. It was now 12:45pm and he hadn't heard anything from her.
"Sara sweetheart can you please call me when you get this or just text me to let me know your alright. I will be heading home in about half an hour. I've nearly finished the paperwork and then I will try and find out what is going on with Ecklie" Gil said leaving yet another message on Sara voicemail.
"Hey Gil, you look like hell" Catherine said walking into his office.
"Thanks Catherine you look lovely too" He said in a sweet/sarcastic way.
Catherine chuckled.
"I didn't get allot of sleep last night" Gil continued.
"Oh yeah" Catherine Smiled. Waving her eyebrows up and down. Gil just looked at her.
"Rinse your mind out Catherine, all I meant is Sara is ill and she was up all night being sick, and now to top it all off I am stressed over this paper work, and Sara hasn't text me back after her doctor's appointment" Gil said tiredly and stressed.
"You haven't heard from Sara"? Catherine said shocked
"Not since this morning when I left the house to come here"
Catherine pulled out her phone and dialled Sara's number. It rang but then went to voice mail after two rings, which made it obvious that she had cut her off.
"She cut me off" Catherine said flipping the phone shut and looking at Gil.
"What do you want to do"?
"I'm going to ring my neighbour and ask her check my apartment to see if Sara has gone home and is resting" He said as he started to dial her number.
Catherine listed and waited about 3 minutes before Gil said, 'Okay thank you Rose' and shut the phone.
Gil looked at Catherine. "She's not there" Gil said.
"So now what" Catherine asked.
"Get brass to ring the doctors and to see if she is at the doctors or if she was transferred to hospital. I'm going to try and call her again"
"Okay, I'll be back in a minute" Catherine said as she left the office.
"Sara please you're really scaring me now, please call me. I just need to know your okay. Please Sara I love you." Gil said nearly in tears as he shut the phone and sat down at his desk staring at the bugs on the wall just for something to do.
Catherine came back in just 10 minutes later although it felt like 10 hours.
"Brass said she went into her appointment on time, and left the doctors surgery to go home at 11:15am. She wasn't told to go anywhere but to go home, and the receptionist wouldn't tell us what the doctor said due to patient confidentiality" Catherine said out of breathe as she had clearly ran from Brass' office. "Brass is just trying to call Sara himself"
"It's no good Catherine, if she won't talk to me she sure as hell won't talk to anyone else".
"I heard Sara has gone walkies" Greg said as he appeared at the door.
"Now is not the time for your stupid humour Greg, my girlfriend is missing"
"Sorry" Greg mumbled.
"Why don't you make yourself useful Greg? You and Nick get in separate cars and just go for a ride and see if you can see Sara" said Catherine.
"Okay boss" Greg said. This infuriated Gil a bit as he thought Greg was taking the piss. He was Greg's boss so he thought Greg was trying to be funny as if in a 'hail Hitler' way when saying 'boss'.
"Gil I want you to go home and wait there in case Sara goes to your place. And you can get something to eat and you can get some rest while your there".
"No Cath I want to go out a look for her"
"Well tough Gil" Catherine said sternly. "You are going home in case Sara goes there. You are knackered and you are no good to anyone if you fall asleep at the wheel and wrap yourself around a tree"
"But..." Gil said.
"ZIP IT GIL" Catherine Shouted. I'll take you home myself to make sure you go there and then I'll join the search.
Catherine dropped Gil off at his apartment 15 minutes later before driving off to look for Sara. Gil flopped onto the sofa and cried. He tried to ring Sara around 15 times within the space of 10 minutes with no reply. He texted her and even thought about ringing her friends, before he realised that all her friends worked at the lab and the ones who weren't working on a case were out looking for her. Somewhere in between crying and worrying Gil fell asleep on the sofa. He woke up at 7:00pm to his phone ringing. A wave a relief washed over him when he saw Sara's name pop up on screen.
"Sara honey where are you"
There was no voice on the other end just silence. No cars of birds or wind, no anything, but the faint sobbing of Sara, before the phone went dead.
"Sara" Gil shouted into the phone. He quickly rang Catherine and told him what had happened.
"Are you sure it was Sara"?
"Not 100% no, but it was her phone and I could hear her crying".
"Well no-one has had any sight of her. I'm going to drive around your area again Gil". Catherine said as she put the phone down.
No more that 5 minutes had passed before his phone rang again.
"I've found her Gil. She is just around the corner from your apartment. She looks terrible she crying and she look absolutely freezing. I'm not going to get out, I'm just going to keep an eye on here till she gets in side, but I can definitely say, she is going to want to talk"
"You've found her"
"Yeah, I can see her walking up your path"
"I can hear her putting the key into the lock"
"I'll ring the others and let them know we've got her and not to bother either of you, if you need me just ring me"
"Thank You Catherine" Gil said as he hung up the phone.
At that moment the front door opened and Sara came in looking soaking wet, cold and bloodshot eyes.
"Oh thank God" Gil said walking to her to pull her into a hug.
"Where have you been honey, I have been so worried and you wouldn't answer my calls or texts. Everyone has been looking for you"
Sara burst out into a new fit of sobs and collapsed into Gil arms until they were eventually sitting on the floor.
"Hey, Hey, Hey, its okay Sara everything's okay. What's this about? Is it about Ecklie, or has the doctor said something"? Gil asked concerned while he grabbed the blanket from off the nearby washing basket and wrapping it around her.
"Honey please tell me. You are terrifying me" Gil begged rocking Sara trying to soothe her.
"I O AT IT" Sara mumbled though her hysterical sobs.
"I can't understand you honey. Breathe slowly calm down and tell me. Whatever it is we will deal with it together and I will keep you safe".
Sara managed to calm herself a little in order to be able to speak.
"I don't want it" Sara croaked still crying while clinging to Gil's jacket for dear life.
"You don't want what" Gil asked calmly but confused.
"He had to take everything from me and now I'm stuck with a constant reminder of him"
"Sara you're not making any sense. Has Ecklie managed to get to you somehow through someone else"?
Sara shook her head.
"Then what I don't understand what you're saying Sara, please calm down"
"I'M PREGNANT" Sara screamed and Gil.
OOOOOHHHHHH I had to do it! What do you think? I had to do it. I was amazed at how only one or two of you guessed correctly (Well they may have been more but you didn't review it). News of Ecklie will be in the next chapter. Sara's Pregnant, but there is another storyline starting now. Can anyone guess what it is?
Next Chapter may take a while but you will have a new chapter by next Wednesday
Please review what you think.
