--Chapter 22--
After six hours of sleep Sara woke up. When she came out of the bedroom, she saw Catherine asleep on the couch. She walked towards her and covered her up with a blanket that was lying on end of the couch.
Sara walked into the kitchen and made herself a cup of coffee. She walked out of the house towards the lake and sat down. She took a sip of her coffee and looked over the lake. It was beautiful this time of day.
Sara was focused on the lake that she didn't hear Catherine approach. Sara jumped when she said her name.
"Sorry, I didn't meant to scare you," she said.
"It's ok," Sara replied and looked at her.
"How do you feel?" Catherine asked her and sat down next to her.
"Fine," she said and looked back to the lake.
"We were worried when Ecklie told us that you where gone," Catherine softly said but didn't look at her.
"Ecklie?" Sara asked surprised.
"Yeah, Grissom called Ecklie when he found out that you where missing. He thought that maybe one of us knew where you were," she explained to her.
"Does anyone else know that you are here?" she didn't want to face them. She needed some time for herself.
"No, I didn't tell them, and I wasn't sure that I would find you here," Catherine rose up from the ground and walked to the lake. She discarded her shoes and walked into the lake.
Sara looked at her. She rose up the ground and walked up to her. When she was standing next to her, she looked at Catherine.
"Was he really worried?" she asked.
"Yeah, he was. Ecklie had to calm him down, because of this heart, you know..." she said.
Sara looked at her. "He is alright, isn't he?" Sara started to panic a little.
"He's fine. But I think he would be completely happy if you came home," Catherine looked at her.
"I...I can't," she turned around and walked back to the cabin.
Catherine walked out of the water and grabbed her shoes. She followed Sara into the house.
"Why?" she wanted to know.
"I...I have to deal with this alone," She said quietly.
"Sara, you don't have too. Your friends are at home. We love you and we care a lot about you," she walked to her and hugged her.
"But what about Grissom?" she whispered.
"He loves you. I'm sure of it," she said and let her go.
A little smile came on Sara's face.
"You can work this out," she smiled back.
"Thank you," Sara whispered.

Back in Vegas the gang was worried sick about Sara. When Warrick's phone rang, they jumped.
"Warrick"
"Hey Warrick, it's Cath. I found her and she is ok"
"Thank god"
"She needs some time for herself"
"I understand. Thanks for calling"
"Ok, see you"
"Bye"
Warrick closed his phone and looked at Nick. "Catherine found her, she's ok."
Nick nodded at let out a sigh.

Greg stopped his car in front of Wendy's house. He opened his door and got out of his car. He walked up the stairs to the door and knocked. No one answered.
When he turned around he heard her voice.
"Greg?" Wendy said quietly.
Greg immediately turned around and looked at her. She looked awful, her hear was tousled and her eyes were red from crying.
"I'm so sorry..." he whispered and took a step forward. Wendy immediately stepped back.
"What do you want?" she didn't look at him.
"I...I want to apologise," he said quietly. "I shouldn't have grabbed you like that, I'm so sorry."
"Please, leave. I don't want to hear your apology," she said and turned around.
Greg was standing there, he didn't know what to do. He didn't want to lose her, he loved her. That was something he knew for sure.
When she disappeared inside, he turned around and sat down on the stairs. He didn't want to leave. He needed to see her, to comfort her.

Grissom was asleep when Peggie came into his room. She checked the monitors and looked at him. She woke him up.
"Gil, they found Sara and she is ok..." she smiled at him.
"Where is she?" he wanted to know.
"Turns out that Sara has a cabin at Lake Mead," Peggie explained to him. "Catherine is there, she just called."
Grissom took a deep breath.
"I have some other news, tomorrow morning you and Mr. Brass are going to be transported to the hospital in Las Vegas. Your not well enough to go home, but this way you can be near you friends and family." She turned around and left the room.
"His family..." he said aloud. He grabbed the phone and called Angie.
"Hey Angie, it's Gil"
"Hi Gil, How are you?"
"Could have been better, how is my mother doing?"
"She's fine, she is worried about you. She tried to call you several times these past few days, but you weren't there"
"I know. I'm in the hospital"
"What happened?"
"Long story. Tell my mother that everything is alright and that I will visit her as soon as possible"
"Ok, thanks for calling. Hope you get better soon"
"Bye"
After the phone call he felt a little better. He was going home, that was the important thing.
*******
The next day Greg woke up and he had a terrible headache. When he opened his eyes completely he saw that he wasn't home. He still sat on Wendy's porch. He must have fallen asleep. He heard some noise behind his back. He turned around and saw Wendy standing in the door opening with two cups of coffee. She slowly walked to him and sat down next to him. She didn't say anything and handed him the cup of coffee. They drank in silence.
"Why did you stay?" she asked him.
"I...uhm...I had too," Greg didn't know what to say. He didn't want to scare her off.
"Why?" she wanted to know. She wanted to know if he felt the same as what she was feeling.
"I...like you," he stammered.
Wendy had to smile. He was very cute when he was shy.
"Can you forgive me, please?" he begged.
Wendy faced him and looked at him. "If you want to do this right then don't push me," she said, "I like you too, but what you did...Just give it time," she looked at him and hoped he would understand.
Greg nodded and took another sip of his coffee.
"I'll give all the time of the world," he smiled, "I don't want to lose you."

Back at HQ, Warrick and Nick had to go to a crime scene. They were glad that they could do something to keep their minds busy.
After three hours of gathering evidence, they went back to HQ.
Nick went immediately to Greg's lab.
"Hey Greggo, I have something for you," he said and gave him the evidence.
"Thanks," he said and started to process them.
"What happened to you, you look like shit," Nick looked at him.
"Rough night," he said and went back to work.
Nick left the lab and went looking for Warrick. When he found him, he heard that the suspect had confessed.
"Well, that was fast," Nick wondered.
"Found his wife with bloody cloths on, turned out he cheated on her," Warrick said to Nick.
Nick nodded and got him a cup of coffee. "You want some," he asked Warrick.
"No thanks, I still have," he pointed to his cup.
"Have you seen Sanders today," Nick looked at Warrick.
"No, why?"
"He looks like shit," Nick said with a little concern in his voice.
"I heard from Ecklie that he had a fight with Wendy and he went to see her last night," Warrick said.
"Ecklie?" Nick was surprised.
"Yeah, Greg didn't have an address or phone number so he asked Ecklie," he explained to him.
"I think they had a long talk last night, because the way he looked, he didn't have much sleep," Nick stated.
"Maybe," Warrick replied.
Nick phone rang.
"Stokes"
"That's great"
"Sure"
"Bye"
He put the phone down and smiled. "Griss and Brass are coming home," he said.
"Isn't that a little soon?" Warrick said concerned.
"They are transported to the hospital here," Nick said.
"I have to call Catherine," Warrick reached for his phone and dialled Catherine's number. After the conversation he looked at Nick.
"Sara is going to stay there," he told him, "but she will come back."
