Chapter 47
[Is this what you've been waiting for? lol Well, here's the beginning of the confrontation I teased you with last chapter.]
Jake looked up from opening a can of larger. The sound of the banging cut through the silence. Someone was at the door. Standing, he grabbed Sara's arm and pulled out a knife to point it at her. "Do Not Move." He whispered harshly.
Gavin stood and held Kate's shoulder. "Open the door, but don't say anything." He said more gently than Jake would have.
Kate nodded and walked towards the door with Gavin. He held her hand as he stood behind the door.
"Good evening. Sorry to disturb you, but there's been a robbery down the road and we're checking all the local houses in case the perpetrator fled for shelter. You wouldn't have seen anything, would you?" The policeman asked as she opened the door slightly.
Kate shook her head and swallowed hard. She cast a look behind her quickly before returning her frightened eyes to the policeman. Seeing him take a step forward, she pushed on the door a little.
"Is something wrong? Are you ok?" He asked her.
She nodded uncertainly, dropping her eyes to the ground. "I'm sorry, but no one has come by this way, except for you."
The policemen smiled kindly. "Ok, well, give me a call on this number, if you do see anything." He held out a card, but caught sight of movement.
~*^*^*~
Sara elbowed Jake in the stomach as Kate went to shut the door. Jake had began to take advantage of backs being turned and had dragged the knife down her front, over her breasts.
"Bitch." He whispered harshly, jerking her back and throwing her to the couch.
"Something wrong officer?" Gavin asked as he moved to stand behind Kate.
Hogan stared at him for a few silent minutes before shaking his head and giving a small tired smile. "It's been a long day, sorry to bother you. Goodnight."
Gavin nodded and closed the door. "Go sit down Kate." He said gently, moving to grab Jake's arm as he raised it. "What the hell are you doing?" He argued, pushing his brother back a few steps.
Jake raised another beer to his lips and smirked with a shrug.
Staring at him with angered eyes, he turned to Sara. She was bleeding slightly from her shirt. He whirled around to Jake and pushed a fist to his chest. "You hurt her Jake. The cops won't go easy on us if you harm them."
Snorting, Jake turned away and stalked over to the covered window.
Sara looked down at her chest and winced slightly. Kate reached up to check, but Sara stopped her, taking her hand lightly in hers and offering a small smile. "I'm fine honey, don't worry. It's just a scratch."
Kate nodded and turned to lean into her side, wrapping her mother's arms around her for security and warmth.
Gavin watched them briefly and made another promise that he wouldn't leave the room so Jake was alone with either of them. He knew Jake was ill, but didn't think it was going to be like this. He still had trouble believing his big brother shot Grissom.
When they were kids, he held his brother so high in the respect category, like most little brothers do. But after hearing that he had been sent to prison for attempted murder, it shook his heart and his thoughts about his only remaining family member.
~*^*^*~
Hogan waited at his car as he called in on his radio to give the impression of giving information about the robbery, just in case they were being watched. Being completely dark now, Andy, the deputy, couldn't be seen too well in his dark uniform. He climbed into the car and handed the sheriff his notebook. Hogan read the notes and nodded before starting the car and pulling away from the house. He drove down the road a few hundred yards before stopping again.
"This is good. It's just the two and it's easy access from all sides. This shouldn't take long." Hogan mused, dialling a number into his cell.
Andy agreed as he looked over his shoulder to see the beach house lights. "Gonna be hard to not spook them though."
Hogan sighed as he waited for an answer. "True, it's too open." Turning his attention to the caller, he filled them in as he read from Andy's notebook. "Two suspects, two hostages. Suspect 1 is carrying a firearm and a knife, but is also drinking. Could be lethal if he drinks too much. Suspect 2 is hovering over the hostages. Suggest backup and negotiation team."
Silence filled the car briefly as information was relayed back to Hogan.
~*^*^*~
Grissom climbed out of the car and looked at the lights down the road. He was so close, yet so far. All he could think of was Kate and what Jake was telling her. He needed to get them back.
Catherine stayed with him in case he decided to go it alone. She had to place her hand on his good arm a few times to get his attention as the sheriff filled them in on what was going to happen.
"The special unit will be here in 2 minutes. They will pull up in front of the house and contact the suspects. There are different scenarios to these kinds of situations and we need for all of you to stay back." Hogan looked at each CSI, waiting for understanding.
Nick turned from the group to watch the special unit van drive by them in a reasonable hurry. "It's time." He muttered, sending Grissom a sad sigh.
Grissom reached out and placed his hand on Nick's shoulder as they walked a few feet away from the group to see around the few trees. It was only a matter of time before the unit would contact Jake and ask for demands, but Grissom knew what Jake's demands will be and they didn't have it, he already had everything he wanted.
~*^*^*~
Gavin shifted his eyes from Jake to the front window when he saw a flashing blue light. "Cops are back." He told Jake's larger filled brain. Jake hadn't stopped the drinking and was eyeing Sara dangerously. Kate was practically hiding in her mother's side, trying to protect her the only way she thought how, to stay with her.
Jake's body swayed as he turned. He dropped his half empty can in the trash can and leaned against the wall beside the window. He pulled the curtain back slightly to get a better look. "Fuck!"
Sara opened her eyes and stared at the window. Kate shifted her arms tighter around her mother's ribcage and squeezed. "Daddy's coming to get us, isn't he?"
Jake whirled around before Sara could answer. "Grissom is dead and he's NOT your DAD!"
Kate stared at Jake with tear filled eyes. Sara covered her daughters ears with trembling hands and pulled her head to her chest, holding her tight. She glared at Jake and seethed. "You Asshole! Wha-"
"Shut Up Sara!" Jake shouted. "You've known all along that he's not for you. Why the hell would I let him live to break up our family again!?"
"We are not your family! We have nothing you want and we don't want you anywhere near us! AND Grissom ISNT Dead!" Her voice cracked in many places as she yelled back at him.
Jake stomped over to her and grabbed Kate's Arm. "Get Up!"
Sara tried to stop him by scratching his hand. "Get Away From Her!"
"Ow, Fucking Whore!" He growled, back handing her across the face and yanking Kate to her feet. He held her arms forcefully. "Grissom is dead. Don't listen to that bitch. She's known that since the beginning. He won't pull this family apart again. I'm your DAD! You are mine!"
Kate was sobbing and crying out for him to let her go as he shook her. She struggled and kicked to get free, but his grip on her was too strong. She did what Sara did and scratched him, but on the face this time, right in his eye and over his eyebrow. Leaving a red bloody mark.
"Fuck!" He threw her to the floor and hovered over her to hit her.
Kate hide under her arm, but the beating never came. She shook as she looked up and breathed a very small sigh of relief when she saw Gavin holding Jake back and yelling at him.
"What the FUCK did I say Jake!? You deaf or WHAT!?" He pushed his big brother away and turned to Kate.
Jake pulled out the gun and raised it above his head. Just as he was bringing it down, Sara shouted out to Gavin, but was too late. Jake had hit Gavin over the back of his head, knocking him out cold.
"Stay There! I haven't finished with you." Jake pointed the gun at Sara before staring at Kate. Whatever was going through Jake's head, came to a halt by the sound of static, then a loud voice coming from out side.
"Mr. Andrews! This is the SFPSD and Special Unit!"
