--Chapter 17--

The gang walked into Brass's room. Brass was hooked up to a couple of machines.

When Brass heard some noises next to him, he opened his eyes. He tried to say something, but nothing came out. Brass pointed to a glass of water on the cabinet.

Wendy walked towards him and gave it to him. After he gulped down the water, he gave the glass back to Wendy.

"Thanks," he said to her.

"You're welcome," she smiled. "How are you feeling?" She asked carefully.

"Better now..." he said. " How are Sara and Grissom?" he wanted to know.

"Sara is going to be fine. She has some broken ribs and a broken cheekbone. Grissom however..." Nick stopped.

"What's up with Grissom?" Brass feared for his friend's life.

"The operation went well, but he lost a lot of blood. Because of that his condition is still critical." Catherine explained with an unsteady voice.

"But he's going to be alright, isn't he?" he looked at them.

"We hope so..." Warrick whispered.

*********

A nurse checked Grissom's IV, when he started to wake up.

Grissom opened his eyes and didn't know where he was.

"Sara?" He whispered.

"Mr. Grissom? I'm nurse Peggie. You're in a hospital...and Sara is fine," she said to him.

Grissom still couldn't focus.

"I'm gonna get your doctor, ok?" she said and walked out of the room.

A couple of minutes later, Dr. Stapleton walked into the room together with nurse Peggie.

"Hi Mr. Grissom, I'm dr. Andrew Stapleton. I'm your doctor," he told Grissom.

"Sara?" he said again.

"Sara is alright Mr. Grissom," he said to him.

"No, she's not..." he said, "Sara!" he screamed and tried to get up.

"Hold him down!" The doctor said to Peggie. Peggie and Andrew grabbed Grissom's arms and shoulders to hold him down. Andrew pressed the alarm button.

A couple of seconds later two male nurses came running into the room. They held Grissom down while Andrew injected him with a sedative. Not long after he injected it, Grissom calmed down and went back to sleep.

Andrew and nurse Peggie walked out of the room. The gang stood in front of the room.

"How is he? What happened?" Catherine asked worriedly.

"Mr. Grissom woke up, but he panicked, so we gave him a tranquilizer...he needs his rest," he explained to the gang.

"Why did he panic?" Nick wanted to know.

"Sara. He thought she was in some kind of danger. I think he still thinks that they are held hostage," he said to them.

They nodded.

"Thank you doctor...for taking care of him..." Warrick said.

"You're welcome" he smiled and walked away.

After Dr. McNamara had left the room, Sara fell asleep.

Two hours later, she woke up screaming.

"Grissom! Nooooo!" she screamed.

Nurse Chiara ran into the room. "Sara! Wake up!" she carefully touched her shoulder.

Sara woke up. Tears were running down her face. "Grissom..." he whispered.

"He's fine Sara. You had a bad nightmare," she tried to soothe her.

Sara looked at her. She remembered where she was. "Did he wake up?" she asked her.

"Yes he did, an hour ago..." she smiled.

A small smile lingered on Sara's face. "He's fine," she mumbled to herself.

"Yes, he's fine. The doctor gave him something to help him sleep. When he woke up, he said your name," Chiara said to Sara.

"Can I see him?" she begged.

"I will ask your doctor ok?" She answered and walked out of the room.

Dr. McNamara walked into the room and looked at Sara.

"You look a bit better," he said and pointed to nurse Chiara and...a wheelchair.

A smile came on Sara's face.

"Not longer then thirty minutes. You need your rest and so does Mr. Grissom," he said seriously.

Sara nodded. Chiara helped her out of her bed, handed her a bathrobe, and helped her into the wheelchair.

"Thank you," she looked at Dr. McNamara.

He gave her a wink and Chiara pushed her out of her room.
