Thanks for all the reviews!! They really make my day! I am going to try my best to update this as frequently as possible, but I am muy busy, so bear with me please! And once again, they don't belong to me!
Brass had been the farthest from the explosion, Sara the closest. All six of them were on the ground.
Nick was the first to speak, Hey, is everyone ok? At that, the others moaned, getting up and trying to assess the damage. They quickly noticed that Sara was still lying on the ground. Grissom, being the closest to her, touched her back.
Sara, hon, are you ok? There was panic in his voice.
she turned over slowly. Yeah, I just got the wind knocked out of me. The ground isn't exactly soft.
Grissom breathed a sigh of relief and helped Sara to her feet. She stumbled a little, but on the whole was steady. The team was then accosted by the paramedics still there and ushered out of the school.
The gang was being cleared by the medics while the bomb experts checked the building for more bombs. Everyone was told they could get back to work, except Sara.
Look miss, I really think that you need to go to the hospital for observation, you took a pretty hard blow.
Look, what's your name? She glanced at his name tag. Jason, I am fine! I am NOT going to the hospital! I have a job to do!
Hearing the commotion, Nick and Grissom walked over to Sara. While still maintaining an air of seriousness, they both had to snicker. That paramedic didn't know who he was dealing with.
Sara, why don't you listen to him? You should go get checked out, Nick pleaded.
With a frown on her face, she said Look guys, I refuse to go to the hospital. Give me the damn AMA and I can get back to working this case.
Knowing they would never convince her, they gave up.
Thankfully, all the bodies had been removed and some of the evidence analyzed before the bomb exploded. With the building cleared by the bomb squad, the CSI's were back to work. Nick and Warrick were trying to salvage and sort through the evidence, while Catherine and Grissom started looking for the gun. Sara and Brass were interviewing the hundreds of witnesses.
Catherine had found the gun. Hey, Gris! I got it!
Grissom walked over to her, pleased. Great. Take it to the lab and see what you can get off of it. Take Nick or Warrick and have them bring the bullet casings they found to be matched. I'll keep looking to make sure there isn't another gun somewhere.
Cath bagged the gun, took of her gloves, grabbed Warrick, and headed for HQ. She was silently praying for something unique to show up on the gun, desperate for answers.
Hey Brass? Sara was on to something. Have you noticed how everyone has said that there was one initial shot and then a few moments before the shooting rampage started?
It was as if a light bulb went off over Brass' head as he nodded.
Well, that means there was a specific target. If we can find out who it was, then we are that much closer to solving this case.
Now that you mention it, a couple of the teachers told me that a teacher was the first to go down. Uh, Cate Fallon, no..Cate Farrell. The one they rushed off in critical condition.
A teacher? Man. Well, she could be the one. With that, she rushed off and got into the Tahoe. She was going to the hospital, after all.
TBC.....
a/n: I know that these chapters are short, but I have the hardest time making them longer (and I do know that I must be a hypocrite when I tell other people to make their chapters longer!) But what can I say?? I'll keep trying to lengthen them!! Ok, now tell me what you think!
