Part 14/?
Brass drove even faster than Grissom had when he heard the news of Sara's kidnapping.
When they arrived, there were ambulance's and police cares everywhere.
He quickly hopped out of the car, almost before it ad stopped, and ran towards the station. Just as he was mere feet from the door, a stretcher was being carried out, with a body on top cover by a white sheet.
He cautiously approached it fearing his love was lying beneath the white sheet.
"Grissom!" He heard a familiar voice call. It was her. Where was she though? He turned and saw her being loaded into the ambulance.
"Grissom!" She cried out again. It was obvious the EMT's were trying to keep her from almost jumping off the stretcher and running towards him.
"Sara!" he cried running towards her.
Her one good hand reached out for his as the EMT's loaded her into the massive white truck.
"Sara, I thought I would never see you again."
"I thought the same about you." A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Sara it's ok, he's gone now. It's all over." He said trying to relax her.
"I know, it's just. I realized how much you really mean to me. I couldn't live without you. And I never want to." She continued to cry.
He gently ran his thumb over hers and stared into her eye's reading them, seeing the fear that was provoked in them.
"Sara, life is not worth living without you. And I never want to live it without you. You give my life meaning, and purpose." He gently tightened his grip.
"I love you Grissom."
"I love you too Sara, and I always will."

They found that Sara's arm was broken in two places, which required surgery to properly heal, she had two broken ribs, and she had suffered from a concussion.
Grissom once again, sat in the waiting room. It was the second time in six weeks. And now with Ecklie gone, and he was sure there would be less hospital visits in the future.
Just then, Warrick, Nick, and Catherine all entered the room. Catherine was the first to spot him.
"Gil how is she? Is she going to be alright?" The sound of panic in her voice, reverberating off the walls
He rose from his chair and moved towards them.
""Its ok. She's going be ok. Just some broken bones, and a concussion." He said it as if it were nothing, but it really wasn't compared to the predicament she was in before.
"Thank goodness. Can we see her?" Nick questioned.
"She's still in surgery. They had to do some repair work on her arm. I just wish they would hurry, or at least tell us how much longer."
"I can help you with that." Nick said cheerfully sounding as if he had the solutions to all the problems of the world.
"Oh really? How so?"
"Well, Warrick I have 'connections'." His grin was from ear to ear.
"I'm not too sure I like the sound of that." Catherine said jokingly.
"Hey! Her name is Heather, and she happens to be a nurse here. Be right back." He took off towards the nurse's station.
"Hey Nick!" She greeted him cheerfully. "What are you doing here? Is everything ok?"
"Hi. Oh. My friend was brought in here a while ago with a concussion, and some broken bones that required surgery. Can you tell me when she is released from the OR? Her name is Sara Sidle."
She smiled at him, and then looked at the computer screen on the workstation in front of her. And with a few clicks of the mouse, and presses of the keys, she had access to what she was looking for.
"Sara was just released from the OR ten minutes ago. I can take you to her if you'd like."
"Sure lead the way." He motioned for her to take the lead, and then to the gang for them to follow.
The gang, including Heather, made their way down the hall. All walking single file accept for Warrick, and Catherine, who were walking so close to each other, any closer and he would be carrying her. Grissom of course did not let it go unnoticed, and made a mental note to harass Catherine about it later.
As they walked into the cold dreary room, Sara laid awake, looking towards the door as if she were expecting them, and she was.
"Hey Sara."
"Hey guys." She said weakly. The anesthesia was still lingering in her system.
Grissom was the first person to make their way to Sara's bedside.
"Hey baby, you feeling ok?" he softly kissed her lips.
"Yeah better no that you're here." She smiled faintly.
Catherine couldn't believe how much Grissom was displaying his emotions. Over the several years they had been friends, never had he ever showed more emotion than an occasional laugh, or smile, much less his affection. Sara had done it, she had unlocked the door to his heart with the key to hers. They were a match made in heaven, and it was about time they were together.
Not only was it Grissom and Sara's time, it was also Catherine's and Warrick's. They had officially been a 'couple' for four weeks, and as heir affection for each other grew, so did the obviousness of their relationship.
Sara motioned for Grissom to lean over so se could whisper something to him.
"I think Warrick and Catherine are an item." She whispered quietly.
"I think you're right." He whispered back.
They both lightly giggled.
"It's not nice to whisper." Catherine said as if she were talking to a child.
"Do you really want to know what we're whispering about?" he teased.
"Yeah." Her and Warrick answer in unison.
"Ya'll are an item aren't you?" Grissom asked.
Catherine and Warrick looked at each other and smiled, then turned and smiled at the other couple across from them.
"I knew it." Both Grissom and Sara said simultaneously.
"So I see I'm the last to know." Nick said disappointedly.
"Aww Nick. You're just a little slow, but we love you anyways."
"Hey! Am not." He disagreed.
Everyone laughed at the joke made, even Nick.
