--Chapter 4--

Back at Sara's apartment, Nick was processing the bathroom. Suddenly he heard Warrick yell.

Nick ran out of the bathroom and saw Warrick standing in front of the table.

"What is it?" and he looked at place Warrick was pointing to.

"I thought that Sara didn't smoke!" Warrick stated.

"She doesn't!" Nick replied and as Warrick bagged the ashtray.

"Maybe she had company?" Warrick looked to Nick but he knew that Sara didn't have a lot of friends outside the department.

"It's a possibility, but it's now evidence" Nick simply stated.

"I printed the front door but there were no useable prints." Warrick looked to Nick.

""Shit!" Nick muttered "Maybe on the back door?" he was thinking out loud.

"How's the bathroom coming?" Warrick asked Nick.

"A lot of blood, Sara's blood..." Nick looked down. He still couldn't believe it. Someone hurt his Sara. His beautiful Sara.

"Did you find the object that he or she used?" Warrick looked to Nick.

"No, there was nothing in the bathroom that could be used as a cutting object." He replied.

The atmosphere at the HQ was not so good. They couldn't believe Sara got almost killed tonight and on top of that Grissom collapsed.

When Greg walked into the lab, he sensed that something was wrong, terribly wrong.

Greg walked to the break room and saw Brass talking to Catherine. And when he saw Catherine's face he knew something bad had happened.

Catherine saw Greg standing outside the break room. The look on his face said everything. He knew that something was wrong.

Greg walked slowly into the break room.

"What happened?" he asked but was afraid what she would answer.

"Greg, I'm sorry but Sara..." She said to him but couldn't finish her sentence.

"What happened to Sara! Please tell me!" he begged.

"Someone tried to kill her tonight" she told him.

Catherine saw him sway on his legs and before he fell Brass was already next to him to support him.

"Sit down" Brass said gently and walked him the nearest chair.

"Greg, there is something else too" she kneeled in front of him.

"Grissom is also in the hospital. He had an anxiety attack." she told him.

"Oh god. Will they both be alright?" he asked Catherine terrified.

"Yeah, they will" she said and didn't tell him about Grissom heart condition. She thought it would be to much.

"If you want you can go see them" she said. "Someone from days will cover for you."

"Thank you" he whispered.

He walked to his lab and saw the new lab technician from days working on some samples. He walked in and walked towards her.

"Hi, I'm Greg" he said and shook her hand.

"I'm Wendy" she said.

"Thank you for covering me tonight" he smiled.

"No problem Greg!" she smiled.

He thanked her again and left the lab.

********

"I'm looking for Sara Sidle. Could you maybe tell me in which room she is?" Greg asked a nurse.

"Family?" he asked him.

"Yeah, I'm her brother" He lied.

"Room 41" she told Greg.

"Thank you" he said and walked down the hall towards Sara's room.

Standing in front of her room, he was scared to go in. He didn't knew how serious her condition would be. But he overcame his fear and knocked on the door and went in.

"O my god! Sara!" he whispered. A lump formed in this throat. He sat down next to her and took her right hand in his. A tear rolled down his cheek.

"If I find out who did this to you, I will kill him" he said to himself.

********

Back at Sara's apartment, Warrick had lifted a partial print from the back door and a couple of foot prints in the kitchen. In the living room was no disturbance so Warrick had the feeling that the perp came in through to back door.

Nick found some fibers that didn't come from her bathroom or other rooms and of course the blood. There was a little chance that the prep cut himself, so Nick had swabbed the whole bathroom.

After they bagged all the evidence they went back to the lab.

********

"How did Greg take the news!" Warrick asked Catherine when he walked into the break room.

"Not so good" she sadly said. "He is now at the hospital."

"Who's in the lab then?" Nick asked.

"The new lab technician from days" she told him "but go easy on her, ok?"

"Sure, as long as she doesn't screw up my evidence!" Nick harshly said and walked out of the break room in the direction of the lab.

********

"Hi, I'm Nick" he said to the lab technician.

"Hi, I'm Wendy" she said and looked at him.

"I have some samples for you and this has top priority!" he said sternly.

"Ok, give me the samples and I will have the results in... let me see" and she looked at her watch "an hour and a half, ok".

"That's fine. You can page me when you have the results" he said and walked away.
