Chapter 29- Judgement Day

Gil pulled up outside The Lab 10minutes later. He and Sara were the only ones from The Lab in court and he wanted to let Brass and Catherine know what was happening. Gil entered the station and saw Brass and Catherine talking at the front desk, Catherine looked over Brass' shoulder and saw Gil enter, 'what's happening at the court?' she asked. Brass turned around to see who she was speaking to and smiled when he realised it was Gil. 'The jury have gone home for the night,' Gil replied.

'How's Sara coping?' Brass asked.

'Yeah, she's OK. The defence are playing the self-defence card, of course,'

'Let's just hope the jury see though it,' Catherine said.

'So do I. For Sara's sake if nothing else, I don't know how she'll react if Hank does get off,'

'By this time tomorrow, you'll know the outcome,' Brass said optimistically.

Gil smiled weakly, 'I'd better be off,' he replied.

'We'll see you tomorrow Gil,' Catherine called after him.

'Yeah Ok,' Gil called back as he left the station.

Gil got back into his car and drove off, pulling up outside a Chinese takeaway 5minutes later. He got his and Sara's dinner and got back into his car. He pulled up outside his and Sara's house a few minutes later. He opened the door of the house and stepped inside, locking the door behind him. Gil looked up and saw Sara stood at the top of the stairs, wearing one of his work shirts and a black lacy underwear set. 'Dinner's here,' Gil said as he put the bag containing the takeaway beside the phone.

Sara smiled seductively at him as she began to descend the staircase. Gil smiled back at her as he stood at the foot of the stairs. 'You like?' Sara asked as she stopped a couple of steps from the bottom.

'No, I don't like,' Gil replied and watched Sara's face fall. 'I love it.'

Sara smiled at him once again, 'come here gorgeous,' Gil said.

Sara wrapped her arms around Gil's neck and he lifted her up so that Sara's legs were wrapped around his waist. Gil rested his head against Sara's, 'let's eat,' he said.

About half an hour later, Sara and Gil had finished their Chinese and he was in the living room. Sara came through a few minutes later and straddled Gil's lap. He leant forwards and kissed Sara softly on the lips and began to stroke her thigh. Gil pulled away slightly, 'you are so sexy Sara,' he whispered as he trailed kisses down Sara's neck.

'You've only just noticed?' Sara asked.

'No I haven't baby. Believe me, I noticed on your first day. You were sexy then Sara, but I think you're sexier now,'

Gil kissed her once more and began to undo the buttons on the shirt that Sara was wearing. She in return, undid the buttons on his shirt and ran her hands down his muscular chest. 'Let's take this upstairs,' Gil said.

Sara nodded as she wrapped her legs around Gil's waist and he carried her upstairs

2hours later, Sara rested her head on Gil's chest and gazed into his eyes. 'I love you Gil,' she whispered.

'I love you too baby,' Gil smiled as he gently stroked Sara's arm.

'What do you reckons going to happen tomorrow?'

'With Hank?' Sara nodded. 'Well, I hope that he'll get what's coming to him. That way, he'll be behind bars and then we can forget he ever existed. I've got you Sara and that's all that matters to me, with you, I think I'd be able to face anything,'

Sara smiled, she leant upwards and kissed Gil softly on the lips before snuggling back down against his chest and fell asleep.

Gil watched for a few seconds, he wrapped his arms around Sara before falling asleep himself

Sara woke up at about 6 the next morning. The sun was already shining through the small crack in the curtain. She looked up and saw that Gil was still asleep. She smiled as she watched him sleeping, thinking about everything that had happened over the last few months which ultimately resulted in bringing her and Gil together.

Sara's POV

If someone had come up to me this time last year and told me that I'd be with Gil, I would never have believed them. Saying that, I could never have anticipated the chain of events that had bought me and Gil together. I love Gil, more than anyone else in the world. More than my job, that's something I never thought I'd say. I've said it now and it's probably the first time that saying those three small words hasn't been a mistake. I don't think there's been a time where I've meant those words more than I do when I say them to Gil.

Gil began to stir and stopped Sara's train of thought. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled at Sara as she leant downwards and kissed him, 'morning babe,' she said as she rested her head back against his chest.

'Morning,' Gil replied as she gently ran his fingers through Sara's hair. 'Today's the day.'

'Yep it is,'

'If the jury has any sense Sara, they'll find him guilty and put him away for a long time,'

Sara nodded, 'I hope so Gil,' she said.

Sara and Gil were up about an hour and a bit later and were ready to head off to the court at about 8:30. 'You ready for this?' he asked as him and Sara were about to leave.

Sara nodded, 'let's get it over with,' she said as Gil gently kissed her forehead.

Sara and Gil pulled up outside the court 15minutes later and went inside. They came face to face with Brass and Catherine, 'what are you doing here?' Sara asked, unable to contain her surprise.

'We thought we'd come and offer you some moral support,' Catherine replied.

'Thanks Catherine,' Sara said.

They all sat down outside the courtroom, waiting for the jury to arrive. The members of the jury began to file into a room at about 9o'clock. After about an hour, Brass decided to go and find out what was happening. He came back a few minutes later, Sara stood up as soon as he approached, 'what's happening?' she asked.

'The jury are on their way back in,' Brass replied, nodding towards the members of the jury who were filing into the courtroom one by one.

Sara took a deep breath as Gil stood up beside her, taking her hand in his. Sara, Gil, Catherine and Brass made their way into the courtroom and took their places in the gallery…
