Chapter 36
Grissom finds his way to room 115 just as the orderlies are leaving.
"Hey there, how ya doing?"
"Ok. I'd like to see Catherine."
"Good, the nurse is getting her ready to come see you as we speak. We all thought it would be easier for her to come to you."
"How does she look?"
"She's bruised up pretty bad, mostly on her body. Her arm is in a big cast and she's been on some pain killer. She looks good considering. Warrick just left to go pick up Lindsay and tell her, then they'll be back here."
"Tell Lindsay what? She doesn't know Catherine's in the hospital? I'm surprised Eddie didn't find some way to get to her."
Grissom's face drops as he realizes Sara has no idea about Eddie. Sara notices.
"What's wrong Gris? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Sara, uh, Eddie, he, uh,
"He died Sara" Catherine said as the nurse pushes her to Sara's side. In a state of confusion, Sara tries to sit up, forgetting about her own injuries. Quickly remembering them, she winces out in pain and Gris helps her lay back down.
"Take it easy Sara."
Catherine takes Sara's hand in hers, "He overdosed that night in your apartment. He died there." Catherine started to cry and Gris steps up behind her, wrapping his arms around hers.
"Oh Cath," Sara whimpers. "I'm so sorry. I didn't know."
"It's ok Sara. Really. It's all going to be ok. How are you feeling?"
"Uh, ok I guess. How are you? Look at your arm." "I'm ok Sara. I'm more worried about you and Lindsay. You took quite a beating in there. Oh Sara, I'm so sorry I got you into this. I never should have called."
"I'm glad you did. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Never apologize for needing help and asking for it."
The pain killers start wearing off and Catherine's arm begins to throb.
"Ok Cath, I'm going to take you back to your room and get the nurse to give you more pain meds. You can come back later. Ok?"
"Yea, ok." Before Grissom could pull her from Sara's side, Catherine leans up and kisses Sara on the cheek, "You're my angel Sara. You helped me when I needed it the most. I will never forget that."
Sara takes Catherine's hand, "You're welcome." She says as she kisses her hand. "Go get some rest. I'll see you later."
"I'll be back soon Sara." Grissom says as he kisses her on top of the head.
