Chapter 4
Grissom thought he could hear voices something about a punctured lung and concussion. He thought he could hear a siren to but he couldn't be sure and slipped back into unconsciousness again.
Sara's cell phone was ringing but she didn't feel like answering it the pain medication made her drowsy. "Hello?" She said half awake.
She heard Warrick's voice on the other line. "Sara I got bad news it's about Grissom."
She sat up straight she wasn't drowsy anymore. "What is it?" she asked panic starting to edge her voice.
"He was in an accident. Apparently he called Brass saying someone was following him. Brass couldn't get there and he ran him right into a wall. Sara it's a mess."
Silence.
"Sara you still there?"
"Is he okay?"
"I don't know he's being taken to the hospital right now I won't know much till then."
"The hospital I'm at?" Sara asked.
"Yeah you'll probably get more out of the doctor than I will, look I gotta go. I just wanted to let you know."
"Okay bye Warrick." Sara sounded like she was in some kind of trance.
"Bye." Sara knew it was the same person that had set fire to the lab and she was starting to get scared. When she was in the fire she had sworn to tell Grissom how she felt but then when the danger of not being able to passed she couldn't bring herself to do it. Now that danger was back only this it wasn't her life that was in danger it was Grissom's.
Vaguely she wondered if Grissom had felt this way when she was in the fire. 'Don't be stupid Sara he doesn't think of you that way.' She was chastising herself. 'You'll tell him you love him but don't expect anything in return just get the hell out of there if he doesn't.' 'God please let him be okay.' She thought as a single tear escaped her closed eyes.
That's how the doctor found her when he came to check up on her head laid back one streak of wetness on her right cheek eyes closed.
"Sara what's wrong?" He asked.
She nearly fell out of the bed he scared her so bad. "Dr.Chandler has a patient named Gil Grissom been admitted yet?"
"Yes as a matter of fact I just got through seeing him, why?"
"He's a friend of mine how is he?" she looked like she'd implode if he didn't tell her.
"Sara there was a lot of internal bleeding, he broke some ribs and he has a punctured lung. We lost him on the operating table a few times but we think he's in the clear." he finished.
Sara let out the breath she didn't know she was holding. "Can I go see him?" She asked hopefully.
"Well right now he's being moved to his room but I need to give you a quick check up and by then they should be through and you can see him."
"Thank you doctor."
Warrick had just hung up the phone when Catherine walked up. "Hey Warrick you wanna ride to the hospital?"
"Yeah let's go."
Halfway there and no one had said a word yet. They could both feel the tension.
"Wonder what Nick is thinking." Warrick said he didn't think he could take the silence any more.
"I don't know but it's safe to say he took it pretty hard you heard when he was yelling at Grissom." Catherine replied.
"Yeah no kidding hope he's okay."
More silence.
"Look about the thing at the softball game I." Warrick couldn't finish he couldn't lie to her.
Just yesterday when Nick had made the home run everyone had been so excited and in the heat of the moment they had kissed. It was so short but surprisingly meaningful. They had just stood there staring at each other in disbelief then they had blushed and pretended it hadn't happened. No one else had seen them. He couldn't pretend any more he couldn't ignore his feelings.
"Catherine I really like you a lot and I think we should take this relationship a little farther." Warrick finally managed.
Catherine was stunned for a moment then she said "Me too I...Maybe we should wait a little though with everything that's going on. I don't think it's really appropriate right now. Once this is all over maybe we can go on an official date." She was so happy but she didn't really feel like waiting but she knew it would hurt the relationship if they started under these circumstances.
"I agree let's wait a little while." He said. He was happy too. He had finally told her and he would be with her soon. It would be worth the wait.
"But first..." he leaned over as they stopped at a red light and gave her a kiss that left her breathless and they drove in a comfortable silence the rest of the way.
