Sara's POV
It's been a week since I found out about Ecklie. I've tried so hard to control my fear, and to my surprise I think I've managed it quite well. I wish I could get back to work, I miss it. Being my supervisor Gil insisted that I didn't return to work until the trial was over, he says I don't need the extra stress. I reach over to the alarm clock on the bedside table, 1:50am, Gil will be home soon. He's been working so hard he's only doing a half shift tonight. I settle back onto the cushions as I hear the door open and close softly. Finally, I was beginning to miss him even more than usual. I listen as he completes his little routine that he goes through every night when he comes home. I love the fact that I know every move he takes. Lock the door, check his kit, kicks of his shoes, hangs up his coat, goes to the bathroom, washes, changes and finally comes to me. I feel him slip into bed behind me and his arms go around my waist. I turn over and find myself face by a strong wall of chest. I close my eyes and bury my face into Gil's shoulder.
'Yeah I missed you to.' He chuckles as he tightens his arms around me. I breath in the familiar scent I've longed for all day, reveal in his warmth. I lift my head slightly so that I can see him.
'Hi there stranger.' I lean in to kiss him.
'How was work? Is everyone doing okay?' My never ending concern for the team seems to amuse him.
'Everyone is fine, Cath is havin some problems with Lindsey, boy trouble you know, and Nick doesn't feel that his girlfriend is taking the relationship seriously but apart from that, everyone couldn't be better.' I smile at him and settle back down to sleep, talking is all well and good, but just lying here with Gil feeling him next to me is not to be disregarded. I hear Gil's breathing even out, the last thing I hear before falling asleep is my love's heart beating in time with mine.

So damn close now, so damn close. If I could just get past this bitches window, who makes coffee at 2:00am? God damn it I need to get in that damn door!!!! Finally, okay I'm in, second floor, apartment number six. This time Sara, this time you are going to be mine, this time no one is going to have you ever again.

Jenny's POV
'I knew there was something strange about him the moment I saw him sneaking around out there. I recognised him when he moved into the light, that man, God what's his name... Ecklie? He raped that nice young woman that's living upstairs now with Mr Grissom.' I'm speaking so fast that I don't know if the young man on the end of the phone can hear me.
'Thank you Ma'am I'll send a squad car out straight away.' I hang up, the knot in my stomach growing as I hear the main entrance door open. I know Mr Grissom is careful he'll have all his doors locked and a gun by his bed, but what about the rest of us. I race to my door, and lock it, God I hope they hurry.

Sara's POV
A soft knocking disrupts me from my dreams. Rubbing my eyes I sit up, Gil's arm falling across my lap. I sit up a little straighter as the noise of footsteps coming down the hall hits my ears. Now I'm fully awake and shaking, oh God Ecklie, what if he's found us, what the hell do I do? I suddenly remember that I'm not alone anymore reaching over I shake Gil's shoulder hard. He groans, opening his eyes he regards me coldly.
'This better be good.' He looks properly at my face, and sits up properly.
'Sara, what is it?'
'I think Ecklie is here.' I whisper. The dark is pressing in from all sides, making me feel claustrophobic. My heart beat and breathing quickens, before either of us has time to react the door handle is turned ever so slowly. We freeze, listening. The handle is shaken someone twists it back and forth, I whimper in fear, I know it's him, I know it. Gil pulls me to him his head resting on mine. I grab a hand full of his shirt and hold on tight. God help us, he's found me.
