Chapter 2

At Crime Scene

"I thought you said this scene was secure!" Brass yelled.

The rookie shrank back. "I didn't know about another door."

Getting in the rookies face, Brass said. "When you stake out a crime scene, you go everywhere." Looking back at Sara, Jim starts to worry. "Gil, she's losing a lot of blood. Hold the presser down on the wound."

Grissom didn't even look up as he put more pressure on Sara's chest to stop the blood flow. "What do you think I'm doing Jim."

While everything else was happening, Sara was coming and going from consciousness. "Griss, I'm scared."

"I know honey. Help is on it's way." He smoothed her hair down and applied more pressure on her chest.

"If I don't make it-" She said breathlessly.

"You will make it." He told her. "Honey, trust me alright. You're gonna be fine."

"The ambulance is here Gil." Brass informed him.

Grissom sighed. "Yeah, I know. I can hear it." Moving slightly to sit up, he rubbed her cheek. "Sara, honey, wake up."

Two men ran into the warehouse and dropped down next to then. One went to take Sara from Grissom, saying. "Mr. Grissom, please move away from her. We need to take her to the hospital."

"Go with her Gil. I'll go back to the lab and tell the others. We need to bring them here anyway. They need to process the crime scene." Brass touched his friends shoulder.

"Yeah." Grissom nodded and took Sara's hand as she was lifted onto the gurney. "Honey..." He leaned down and kissed her forehead. "I love you..." He whispered into her ear.

"PLEASE MOVE AWAY FROM HER NOW!" The paramedic shouted, trying to get moving.

Grissom's head snapped up. "You're him aren't you? You're Hank." Barely able to think straight, he watched the young man nod. "Then don't let her die." He hissed.

Hank gulped. "Ok I'll try."

That wasn't enough for the worried Grissom. "You won't try, you do it or you'll answer to me you got that!?"

At the hospital

"Sir, you can't go in there." The nurse shouted out.

Grissom turned quickly. "Why not for Christ Sakes!?"

The nurse looked at him coolly. "Because she's in theatre. Maybe you could sign these forms." She held out a clipboards and pen. "Are you family, the next of kin?"

"No, I'm not."

Placing the clipboard on the desk, she looked at him. "Then, I'm sorry. We can't give you any information on Ms. Sidle."

Grissom stepped up to the nurses desk. "What the hell do you mean by that!?"

Looking stunned by his shouting and his actions, she leaned back. "I'm sorry sir, it's all to do with the privacy act."

While Grissom was trying hard to get information on Sara, Brass and Nick arrived.

The nurse continued, starting to fear for her safety. "I sorry sir, I can't tell you."

"Look here, I'm Gil Grissom for the Las Vegas Crime lab."

Brass stopped by his side and touched his shoulder to get his attention. "Hey, Gil, what's wrong here?"

Grissom jerked his hand off and moved away, pointing at the nurse. "This, woman, won't tell me about Sara."

"And why not?" Brass asked, turning to the nurse.

She sighed. "Because of the privacy act, that's why."

Nick moved forward. "You will tell me about Sara, now!"

"And you are?" The nurse asked, moving physically away from all three men.

"Nick Stokes. I'm with the crime lab. We work together."

Brass rubbed his face tiredly. "Come on Nicky, this isn't helping Sara."

Nick nodded. "I know that, but... but what if we loss her? Then what?"

"Come on Nicky, this is Sara here. She's strong stuff, remember." Brass reassured him.

"Yeah, I know." Nick walked away.

"How about you getting us some coffee and cool down while you are at it." Brass suggested.

"Listen Gil, the doctors will be out shortly. They will tell you about Sara."

"Yeah." Grissom sighed. "I know."

Brass winked at him and leaned into him, making sure the nurse was still listening. "You'll get the information about your wife, trust me."

Grissom picked up on this straight away and nodded with a small smile. "Thanks."

The nurse's eyes were burning as she stepped forward. "Your wife? Why didn't you say that in beginning? The doctor will be with you shortly."

"Thank you."
