Father's Day

~Chapter 11~

'The Attic'. Greg forgot about the Attic entrance in his Parents bedroom. "Jim you said you cleared the place!". Grissom yelled over the radio. "Nick go to the basement door and lock it. Warrick go see if you can see anything out the window". The two man ran past a wide eyed and terrified Greg. "I did clear the place. No one mentioned an Attic. You need to get out of there and now". Brass said over the radio. They heard a loud bang from upstairs. 'That's the Attic door'. Greg was starting to Panic more. "We can't. Sounds like he is coming down. We have to get past him to get out". As the foot steps began coming down the stairs Greg's fear was beginning to take over. 'He's in the House, He's here'. He was looking all over, looking for his hiding spots. He remembered after his father had stabbed him and he was waiting till he could get some energy to run for it that he hid by the water heater. He had been so cold that the heater warmed him up and gave him some energy.

As the foot steps got closer to the bottom of the stairs they began to hear a man's voice. "Gregory. Son, you have come back to me. Come and give your Father a hug. I've missed you". The others were standing in the middle of the room. "No, no, no, no, no". Was all Greg could say as he covered his ears and started to back away from the others. "Greg! Daddy missed you". His father yelled as he made his way through the house. Greg started to hyperventilate. He backed up until he hit the wall, while still covering his ears he sank to the floor bringing his knees to his chest. "No, no, no, no, no, no. He found me…He's going to kill me". Greg rocked back and forth. Catherine ran to him and kneeled in front of him. "Honey, honey look at me". She tried to get him to look up but all he could do is rock back and forth and try to breathe.

Grissom and the others were still in the middle looking around for another way out. Nick went over to Greg. "Greggo, I really need you to calm down". This had no effect on Greg at all. He was stuck in his Panic and Shock. Sarah kneeled in front of Greg. "We are not going to let any one hurt you. We are going to get you out of here and we are going to stop to stop him". Some of what she said got through to him. "I couldn't stop him no one can". He began to cry. Sarah grabbed him up in her arms and held him as he rocked further and cried. They heard the basement door knob being turned. Then banging on the door. Greg got out of Sarah's arms and ran by the old water heater. "Greg, you better open this door. You know my rules! No locked doors in MY HOUSE!". He yelled as the banging got louder and louder. Greg began to rock again. "I made him mad. I'm sorry! I never meant to make him mad". Nick and Warrick drew their guns and readied their stances so as to fire upon him if necessary. They could hear the door giving way.

Greg wanted to find a deeper hole to crawl into. 'He is going to finish it. Years later and I still die in this Basement'. As the door gave way they heard the cops. "LVPD. Put your hands above your head and get on your knees". They all could tell it was Brass and Vartan. "No, I have to bring him with me". They heard his father say. He continued to try to break open the door so they opened fire on him. They heard three shots fired and a body drop. As the others rushed to the top to help secure the scene Greg remained in the corner of the basement. Grissom looked back and saw Greg on the floor by the water heater. "Greg, it's ok now". Greg just shook his head and kept his knees to his chin. "Greg. Do you trust us?". Grissom asked him as he kneeled before him. Greg nodded a yes. "Then now is a good time to use that trust. He is down and can't hurt you". Grissom stretched out his hand and waited for Greg to take it. Greg looked him in the eyes and took his hand.

As they made their way up the stairs Grissom kept a hand on Greg's back. As the rest of the people moved out of the way and David took off the blanket to do his own examination. Greg looked down and grabbed onto Grissom. "Greg what is it?" Grissom asked him as he held onto Greg. "That's not him". Grissom had a look of confusion on his face. "Greg what do you mean?". Grissom asked him. "That's not him. That's not my Father". Greg turned and ran out the front door. He started to look around. He needed some air. 'Another innocent person affected by my Father'. As he started to head back to the Denali he looked up as he saw a group of by standers gathering. He looked back towards the house and all the memories it brought up and the new ones it created as well. That was when he saw him. There was his father standing near the basement window. 'He's been watching the whole time. He's won. He knows his effect on me'. He stood there and made eye contact with him. The smile on his father's face was one of victory. Greg was about to run in and get Grissom when he saw someone walk by his father and he was suddenly gone. Greg looked around and tried to find him. The others came out and saw him looking around. "What happened?". Catherine asked. Greg turned to them "He's here. He was here". He rambled on. "Who's here?". Nick asked. The others were looking around too. "My father. He was watching the whole time". Greg told them as he and the others continued to look around.
