Chapter 4

At the hospital

"What the hell is taking so long!?"

"I don't know Gil." While Brass tried to calm him down, he put his hand on his shoulder. "But I will find out for you."

Brass left the waiting room in search of a nurse. Finding the same nurse from earlier, he stopped her. "Nurse, any news on Sara's condition yet?"

"Sorry Mr. Brass, but the doctors will be out as soon as they can."

"Thank you..." Brass fished for her name, not seeing her nametag.

She smiled. "...Cindy and you're welcome sir."

Brass made his way back to the waiting room to find Warrick just entering.

"Hey guys, any news on Sara yet?"

"No man, she's still in the ER." Nick told his colleague and friend.

"Any one want a drink?" Warrick asked.

"No thanks Warrick." Brass replied.

"Griss, Nicky?"

Nick shook his head. "No, but thanks anyway."

Warrick nodded and glanced at Grissom. "Sure, no worries."

Catherine entered the room as Warrick was leaving and sat beside Grissom. "Gil, how you holding up?"

"How do you think I'm doing Catherine!?"

She leaned back, raising her hands in surrender.

"Ease up there Gil, she's only asking how your doing." Brass said softly.

"Look Gil, we all care about Sara, alright?" She stops talking when she notices something. "Gil," She points. "What's that on your hands?"

When he looks down, he sees dried blood coating his hands. As he thinks about it, he says in a quite voice. "It's Sara's blood. I tried to stop it, but it wouldn't." He looked up with a far away look on his face.

"She will be ok Gil, have some faith." Catherine tells him gently, touching his arm.

Brass notices a man in scrubs walking towards them. "Look Gil, here comes a doctor."

"Mr. Grissom? I'm Matt Stone. I was the one that did the surgery on your wife." Everyone turned and looked at Grissom. "I'm afraid that I have good news and bad news about your wife's condition." Pausing a moment, he looked around at the pale faces. "She's lost an awful amount of blood, but we were able to stop the bleeding." Moving further into the room, he continued. "The good news is, we were able to save the lung that the bullet went through."

"Is she gonna be all right?" Nick asks as Warrick walked back into the room.

Doctor Stone looked at the young man. "That's the bad news. I'm afraid we will know more in the next 24 hours."

Grissom stood and turned to Brass, grabbing his jacket. "You find the son of a bitch who did this her and I mean now!"

"Come on Griss, this is not helping Sara." Nick attempted to separate them.

Grissom pulled away and turned to the doctor. "Can we see her?"

"I'm sorry Mr. Grissom, only one or two at a time at this stage-"

"Oh come on Doc, we're her family for Christ Sakes!" Nick spoke up.

Doctor Stone nodded. "Alright, but only for a few minutes. The nurse will take you in once she's settled."

"Thank you" Catherine smiled and shook the doctors hand.

"I will need to bring in her supplies from home." Grissom said almost to himself. "But I don't want to leave her, not yet anyway."

Catherine looked at him. "How long has this been going on Gil."

Grissom didn't like the accusation in her tone. "That is not any of your goddamned business Catherine, and if I were you I would back off right now."

A nurse walked into the room. "You may see Sara now if you'd like. I'll take you to the recovery ward."

"Thank you." Grissom sighed.

Upon opening the door of the recovery room, they saw Sara lying still, in bed with hooks and monitors to help her breathing. It was really hard for Grissom to see the love of his life there in that crucial state. He walked over to the bed and pick Sara's hand up, only to have all hell break loose.
