1 Chapter 16
Sara woke up again, this time she was alone; she smiled. Joe; how nice it was to see him again. Perhaps he was right, she should try and get a life. Well, one that doesn't revolve the lab. She could never get over him, but at least she had his permission to try.
'Since when do I ask his permission?' Sara asked herself.
"Ah, sleeping beauty rises to greet the world," Dr. Mahon said, coming into the room.
"Why am I here?" she asked him, although she already knew the answer. In fact, she remembered everything, her amnesia had worn off.
"You, my dear, were nearly killed," he said.
"I did die, didn't I," Sara said.
"I won't lie to you," Dr. Mahon said.
"That's a relief," Sara said.
"Yes, clinically you were dead. But we were able to recessitate you," Dr. Mahon said, ignoring her comment. "Ah, and here come your friends. They rarely leave you alone."
The entire team, including Brass, came in. Dr. Mahon gave them a disapproving glance.
"I will let you slide this time, but don't make a habit of it. You are way past the two visitors at a time quota.
"Thank you Dr. Mahon," Sara said.
"Remember, I know nothing about you being here," he said, walking out.
"I like him," Brass said.
"So do I," everyone said together.
"Wonderful to see you Sara," Catherine said, trying to be cheerful. It was hard considering she had been in the room when Sara flat-lined.
"Don't hide it," Sara ordered.
"Hide what?" Catherine asked.
"The fact that I died. I know I did," Sara said.
"And how do you know that?" Catherine asked.
"I spoke with Joe," Sara said matter-of-factly.
"Who?" Catherine asked, Sara didn't hear her.
"He said I should get on with my life and it wasn't my time to die," Sara said.
"And where were you when all of this happened?" Catherine asked, being polite but thinking Sara was crazy.
"In the bright tunnel," Sara said.
"And Joe is?" Catherine asked.
"My fiancee," Sara said. She turned her head away so know one would see her tears.
"Is he dead?" Catherine asked Grissom.
"Yes," he answered. "You might want to change the subject."
He raised his voice. "Sara, how are you?"
"Fine, but I don't think Dr. Mahon will release me any time soon," she said.
"You got that right," Dr. Mahon said, sticking his head into the room and moving on.
"That was ironic," Nick said.
Grissom patted Sara's hand, "take as much time as needed to get better."
"Grissom, get this guy before I do," Sara said.
"Why?" Grissom asked.
"Figure it out," Sara said.
Before Grissom could ask what she meant she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep. The team took the hint and left.
"I don't want her to touch this case," Grissom told the others.
"Why?" Nick asked. "Shouldn't she know everything?"
"Not now," Grissom said. "I think that she will kill this man, given the opportunity. Even if it is in cold blood."
"I agree with Grissom," Catherine said.
The others all agreed.
"Did you find anything on Christine?" Grissom asked Warrick.
"Yup, I printed it out for you. It's at the lab," Warrick answered.
"Good," Grissom said, spotting Dr. Mahon. "Dr. Mahon?"
"Yes?" he asked, turning around.
"When will she be released?" Grissom asked.
"Anywhere from tomorrow to two weeks, why?" he asked.
"Keep her as long as you'd like," he said.
"Will do," the Dr. said, he walked into a patient's room.
Grissom raised his eyebrow and turned to his team (minus Sara).
"We'd better go back to the lab and finish processing the evidence," he said, bored.
The team silently agreed and headed out the door.
"Hey! Grissom!" Greg called as they walked into the lab. He jogged up to them.
"What is it Greg?" Grissom asked.
"I processed the hair from Sara's car, it's the same from the kidnap/murder scene."
Sara woke up again, this time she was alone; she smiled. Joe; how nice it was to see him again. Perhaps he was right, she should try and get a life. Well, one that doesn't revolve the lab. She could never get over him, but at least she had his permission to try.
