Chapter 7

At the hospital

"What do you mean Sara's in a coma? I'm sorry, but you have the wrong person. You don't know Sara like I do." Grissom said dismissively.

With that outburst, everyone's heads turned around to look at Grissom. They were in Shock because they had seen something in Grissom that they would hardly see and that was emotions. It was so rare to see this side of him that some people called him the tin man because he has been known to have no heart. They were wrong tonight because he was now showing it

"I have to tell you Gil, you have one tough wife, I give you that." Doctor Stone commented.

"Yeah and bloody stubborn too."

While the doctor opened the door to Sara's room, he looked back at Grissom. "Are you ready to see her now?"

With a nod of Grissom's head, they went in. Grissom walked over to the bed and grasped Sara's hand, only to kiss the centre of the palm. "Hey honey. I don't want you to do that ever again, you got that ok babe?" He brushed her hair back from her face to kiss her forehead.

The doctor moved further into the room. "Gil, I'll just be outside so that I can give you some privacy ok?" But he could see Grissom didn't hear him because his attention was on Sara.

While they were waiting on Grissom to come out with the news on Sara, Brass, Warrick, Nick and Catherine were in the waiting room.

"Man, I hate this waiting. Why can't I... I mean, we, see her?" Nick asked.

"You will." Brass assured. "Gil will be out soon. Then you can see her ok?"

"Yeah, I know." Nick sighed.

They heard footsteps walking towards them. When they looked up they saw Grissom standing there in the doorway, only to have Nick pounce on him.

"Griss, how is she? Is she gonna be ok?" Nick asked hurriedly.

"Yeah," Grissom smiled. "She will be now."

"Can I see her now?" Nick whined.

Grissom shook his head slowly as he reached up and squeezed his shoulder. "Sorry Nicky, maybe later."

"Hey guys, how's Sara holding up?" Greg asked as he entered the waiting room.

Turning around, Grissom narrowed his eyes. "What the are you doing here? You should be in the lab processing the DNA samples that Warrick and Catherine found."

"We did, remember? I told you that Vega was on his way there now to get the asshole who did this to Sara." Brass reminded.

Grissom turned back to Greg and apologised. "I'm sorry Greg. I know how much you care for Sara as much as we do." Looking at everyone. "Look guys, there is no point in staying around when shift starts soon." Grissom suggested. "So why don't you go on home and rest up?" He turned his head towards Catherine. "Catherine, you're in charge tonight. I'll be there once I know Sara's ok."

"Like hell I will." Catherine snapped. Everyone turned to look at her. "No, I'm not doing it so you can get some other slacky to do your work ok.

All eyes went to Grissom. They all noticed the silence in the room until Grissom's raised voice boomed, making them jump. "Catherine, why are you being such a Bitch!"
