Part 7
Later that night Sara retired to the bedroom, leaving Grissom to sleep on the couch. This night was quite similar to the previous one. She was haunted once again by the horrible dream, accept this time it continued. This time, her mystery attacker was taking her somewhere. Her hands were bound in ductape and rope, and she was in the trunk of an SUV. She tried yelling for help but nothing came out.
Finally, she was awoken by Grissom who had heard her scream. Her cry for help may not have registered in her dream but it definitely did out of her dream.
"Sara wakeup. You're having another nightmare." He said as he gently shook her awake.
As she opened her big brown eyes, Grissom found them full of tears. He feared for her. He knew that these dreams scared her, and he wished he could do something for her, and he wished he could make it go away.
Sara didn't say anything all she did was cry with her head in her hands curled up in a ball, until Grissom pulled her to him for a hug. She wished she could stay in his arms forever. To her it was the safest feeling place in the world.
She stayed in his arms for half the night until she fell asleep, but even after she had he still stayed there until he was sure she was alright. But, the feeling of tiredness set in and he fell asleep right there. ~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:
The next morning, Grissom awoke to find Sara rustling around the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" he asked groggily.
"Good morning sleepyhead. I'm cooking breakfast. I hope you like waffles. The coffee is ready would you like a cup?"
"Yeah that would be great." He said as he walked toward the kitchen giving a large stretch with his arms, and a yawn.
As he poured the cup of coffee, he watched Sara with great interest. He studied her like one of his bugs. He watched her every movement with interest, and Sara took note of this.
"What?"
"Huh?" Grissom said as he came out of the trance that her movements had put him in.
"You're looking at me like one of your bugs."
"Oh. Sorry." He said as he took a sip of his coffee.
"Well, its ready I hope you're hungry." She said as she placed the plates onto the table.
"Yes, Very." He said as he sat down and they both began to eat.
"Sara, this is very good." He was shocked; Sara was never really good at cooking. ' I guess those cooking lessons from me are paying off.' He thought to himself.
"Thanks I'm glad you like it." She said as she exchanged a smile with him.
No words were spoken throughout the rest of breakfast, or during their dishwashing, but once again, body language was their words.

"I don't want to go back to work." Exclaimed Sara who was now allowed to return back to work that evening. She did not want to return to work knowing that Grissom wouldn't be there to protect her, and she felt bad knowing that it was her fault that he couldn't be there for her.
"I know you don't.
"Grissom I cant do this not yet. I didn't think that this whole thing would affect me this much, but it has! You don't know what its like to not know who is out there after you. It's scary; I mean it could be anybody! That anybody tried to kill me." At this point tears began to flood her eyes, and just like waterfalls they rapidly began to fall. He took his hand and placed it under her chin, and lifted her head up so he could look into her eyes, and said, "I will protect you," and then he kissed her, and wiped away her tears from her cheeks. She gave him the biggest smile he had seen in days. Then they both burst into giggles, and Sara lunged forward for a hug and another kiss.
