--Chapter 14--

Two hours later, Sara woke up.

"Grissom?" she whispered.

Grissom stirred in his sleep, and suddenly he grabbed his shoulder.

"Jeez…" a tear ran over his face, "that hurt…"

Grissom looked around and finally realized that it wasn't a bad dream that he woke up from. "Sara," he whispered with a little panic in his voice.

"I'm here Gil. It's going to be all right…" she tried to calm him down.

"No, it's not going to be alright Sara," he turned his head so that he could see Sara's face. "I lost a lot of blood, and if don't get a blood transfusion soon, I'm not going to make it…"

"Don't!" Sara said harsh, "You're going to make it," she said, determined.

"Sara…" Grissom began, but Sara put her finger on his lips.

"We both have to be strong…Please Gil…" She pleaded.

Grissom put his hand on Sara's and held it. "I will try," he said and put Sara's hand on his chest, "As long as my heart still beats, I will fight this ok?" He looked up and looked into eyes.

A single tear rolled down Sara's cheek. She quickly brushed it away and nodded. She kissed his temple and held him tighter.

"I don't want to lose you…" she whispered in his ear and squeezed his hand.

Back at HQ, the complete dayshift crew, Greg and the Sheriff were waiting in the break room for news.

"This is driving me nuts!" Greg shouted out of frustration. He walked out of the break room. Wendy followed him outside.

"Greg! Wait!" she shouted.

Greg stopped and turned around.

Wendy ran to him and took him in her arms. "Let it out…" she pleaded.

"I can't," he said and pushed her away. Greg disappeared back inside HQ.

Wendy walked back inside and sat down in her lab. She inhaled deeply and started working on some samples that she had to finish.

Nick was talking to Brass, when he heard the sound of a chopper. He looked in the direction of the sound.

"There he is!" he shouted and pointed towards it.

"Finally…" Warrick said and looked to Catherine. She was still in his arms and was sleeping.

Brass contact the pilot and asked of everything was taken care of. The pilot said that the chopper had a transmitter on board, so that they could follow it, without being caught. The money was marked so that they could trace it and the tank was full, they didn't want to give the kidnapper a reason to kill Grissom or Sara or even both of them.

Brass broke the contact, walked over to a couple of officers, and discussed their tactic.

Warrick, Nick and Catherine were sitting next to their car.

"I hope they're going to make it…" Nick said and looked to the chopper.

"They have too" Warrick responded.

At that moment, Catherine woke up and heard the sound of an approaching chopper.

"They're here…" she said sleepily, but immediately was awake when realization hit her.

In the basement, Sara tried to keep Grissom awake.

"Griss, do you hear that?" she asked him.

"Helicopter…" he said and started coughing.

"Grissom, relax…please?" Sara was panicking.

*******

Upstairs Hodges and Hank heard the chopper coming. They both smiled.

"Get the hostages!" He ordered Hank.

Hank nodded and he walked towards the basement.

"Hey Hank!" he said, "If you touch her, I will kill you."

Hank nodded again and went downstairs. He opened the door and walked into the room. He drew his gun and pointed it at both of them.

"We are going to make a little trip" he smiled and looked at them. He walked towards Grissom and removed his IV.

Thinking about what they could do to Sara, Grissom found some extra strength, and raised his hand and hit Hank in the face. Hank didn't expect this, so he released the gun and Grissom grabbed it, and pointed it at Hank.

"Sit down, or I will shoot, and don't try to scream," Grissom hissed.

Sara took the gun out of Grissom's hand and pointed it at Hank. "You can count yourself lucky that I can hold myself back, otherwise I would kill you on the spot!" she threatened Hank. Sara picked up the roll of tape that Hank forgot earlier and threw it towards him. " Tape up your ankles!" she ordered.

Hank did what he was told. After he was finished, Sara gave the gun back to Grissom. "If he moves, pull the trigger!" she said to Grissom while looking at Hank. Grissom nodded.

Sara walked slowly towards Hank, taped up his wrists, and covered his mouth with some tape.

Sara helped Grissom up, but Grissom immediately sunk on his knees. Sara put her hands around his waist and pulled him up again. She never knew she possessed such strength. They stumbled towards the door and suddenly they heard Hodges scream.

"Hank is everything alright!"

Before Sara let go of Grissom, she made sure he could support himself on a wall. When he did, she walked towards Hank, pressed the gun against his temple, and removed the tape.

"Yeah, everything is alright!" he yelled.

Sara pushed the tape back on hank's mouth.

"Good boy!" she said sarcastically and patted him on the shoulder.

She walked back to Grissom and they both stumbled out of the room.
