--Chapter 6--

May 13th 1993 at Harvard:

After the lecture, Grissom was packing his stuff, when one of the students approached him. He was too busy to notice her and jumped when she spoke.

"Interesting lecture, Dr. Grissom." she said.

"I'm glad you liked it Sara" he smiled. "I haven't seen you around for a week, were you sick?" he asked concerned.

"No. Do you remember Patrick Quinn?" she said and saw him thinking.

"Oh yeah, I remember. Wasn't he the football team captain?"

"Yep, we got married a week ago" she smiled.

"Congratulations Sara!" he said and kissed her on her cheek.

"Thank you" and they both walked out of the room.

""Hey Sara?" he said when she walked in the opposite direction.

"Yeah?" she turned around.

"If you are still interested in that job as an intern in L.A., I can call them?" he looked at her face and saw her smile.

"If you could do that, I would appreciate it" she smiled.

"Sure, no problem" he answered. "Bye Sara" Grissom said as he walked in the opposite direction.

"Bye Grissom"

November 3rd 1994 in L.A.:

"Excuse me, can you help me?" a voice said behind her back.

Sara smiled when she heard the voice.

"If it isn't Dr. Grissom, the bug man!" she grinned.

"Sara?" he said surprised.

"Yep, the one and only!" she laughed and hugged him. "What are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

"Mr. Munson called me yesterday. He needed some help... So, you work here now?" Grissom asked her.

"Yeah, I do. I know which case you're talking about. It's a really nasty one." The shivers still ran down her spine when she thought about the case. "What did you want to know anyway?" reminding him at this question.

"I'm looking for Mr. Munson's office," he said to her.

"End of the hallway on you left" she said and pointed in that direction.

"Thanks, see you later?" Grissom asked.

"Yeah sure" she responded and went back to work.

At the end of Sara's shift, Grissom walked into the break room. Sara looked up from the book she was reading.

"Do you want to grab some breakfast?" Sara asked Grissom.

"Yeah, why not" he said and Sara grabbed her jacket and they both left.

******

"This is a nice place" Grissom said when he looked around.

"Yes, it is" she smiled.

"Come here often?" he looked at her.

"Yeah" she said sadly.

Grissom noticed the change in her voice. "Sara is something wrong?" he asked concerned.

"No" she said, but Grissom saw in her eyes that she was not telling the truth. He decided not to push, so he dropped the subject.

"Are you still teaching?" she asked him.

"No, I don't have the time anymore, because of my work" he said.

"To bad, you were a good teacher" she thought back at time she was at Harvard and smiled.

"Thanks" he blushed.

The waiter approached their table and served them their breakfast.

"Thank you" they both said and started eating.

After they were finished, they decided to go home.

When they were outside, Grissom gave Sara his phone number. "When you need someone to talk too," he said.

"Thank you Grissom" she said a got in her car and drove away.

He knew there was something wrong, but he couldn't push her. All he could do is give her his phone number and hope she would call if something was up.

"Where were you?" Patrick shouted at Sara.

However, before she could answer he hit her in the face. She felt that she broke something. Maybe her nose? However, Patrick didn't give her much time to think.

"I saw you. You were having dinner with a guy!" he shouted and punched her in her stomach.

"How dare you cheating on me!" he screamed.

Because of the punch, she tripped backwards and fell. She hit her head on the table.

He didn't stop. He punched her in her stomach and his first landed on her face again. Sara passed out.

When he saw that she wasn't moving anymore, he turned around and grabbed his jacket and left.

After a couple of minutes, Sara woke up. She looked around.

What happened? Then it struck her. She needed to get out of here. She went to the bedroom and grabbed a suitcase. She grabbed all her stuff and left.

She didn't know were to go. She parked her car next to the park and got out. It was cold outside and Sara put her hands in her pockets. She felt that she had something in her pocket. She pulled it out and recognized it. Grissom! She walked back to her car and went to the address.

She knocked on the door and waited.

Grissom was reading a book when he heard a knock on his door.

"Who can this be?" he said to himself and opened the door.

"Sara?" he said and looked at her. Then he saw her bruises and some blood. He let her in and closed the door. "Sara what happened?" he asked gently.

Sara started to cry. "Patrick" was all she said could say.

Grissom walked over to her and wanted to comfort her.

"Please don't touch me!" she whispered.

"Sara, just let me look at your head injury, ok?" he asked her but didn't make a move. He didn't want to scare her.

When she nodded, he approached her slowly and examined her head injury. It was still bleeding.

"Sara we need to go to the hospital. You need to get this stitched up." He said to her and backed away.

Sara nodded again and walked to the door. Grissom grabbed his jacket and followed her. They took Grissom car. When they arrived at the hospital Grissom got out of the car. Sara didn't move. He walked to the passenger's site and opened the door. Still no reaction.

"Sara, we're at the hospital" he said and touched her arm.

She jumped and looked at him. All he could see was fear in her eyes.

"Sara, please? I'm not going to hurt you, but you have to get stitches for your head injury" he pleaded.

Sara slowly climbed out of the car and walked to the entrance. She sat down on one of the chairs in the waiting area.

A nurse walked by and saw Sara's injuries. Grissom walked towards her and whispered something to her. The nurse nodded and carefully approached Sara.

"Sara?" the nurse said. Sara looked up and looked then to Grissom.

"I'm here to help you. If you want, we can take a look at your injuries," she gently told her.

"Just you?" she looked at her.

"I'm not a doctor, I will ask Julia if she can help us, ok"

Sara nodded but didn't move.

The nurse went into a small room next to the waiting area. The door opened again and the nurse came back.

Doctor Julia McCall kneeled in front of Sara.

"Sara, I'm Julia and if you want to, I will can help you" she said.

Sara looked at her and nodded. Julia and the nurse helped her out of the chair and took her to examining room 3.

The nurse came back and took Grissom to the nurse's room. Grissom sat down and looked into 'space'. The nurse grabbed two mugs and filled them with coffee. She returned to the table, put the mug in front of Grissom, and sat down next to him.

"Call you tell me what happened?" she asked Grissom.

Grissom didn't answer.

The nurse touched his arm and Grissom snapped out of his trance.

"I'm sorry" he apologized.

"It's ok. Can you tell me what happened?" she repeated.

"Her husband, he..." he stopped there. He couldn't continue.

The nurse nodded. "I understand" she spoke softly.

When Grissom walked out of the nurse's room he bumped into someone.

"Patrick!" he shouted.
