--Chapter 23--

Gil and Jim were waiting for the nurses to pick them up. Gil was happy that he could go home. He wanted to see Sara. He missed her. After five minutes Peggie came in and two EMTs. They brought Grissom downstairs. When they pushed him into the ambulance, he saw Jim was pushed into another ambulance.

After three hours they were back home. When Grissom was settled in his room, he heard a knock on the door. He thought is was the gang but...

"Mother?" he was surprised.

She walked towards his bed and sat next to him and hugged him.

*What happened* she signed.

*Long story* he signed back.

*Tell me* she really wanted to know what happened to her son.

When he explained the whole story, she wanted to meet Sara.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Nick, Warrick and Greg walked into the room.

Grissom's mother rose out of her chair and approached the men. He looked at them.

"You must be Warrick, Gil told me a lot about you," she said and shook his hand. "I'm Kristina Grissom," she explained when she saw Warrick surprised face.

She looked at Nick and gave him a hand. "Nick, I'm I right?"

Nick nodded and smiled.

"You must be Greg," she said to him smiling.

Greg could hear how she spoke, that she was deaf.

*Yes I'm Greg, Nice to meet you Mrs. Grissom* he signed to her.

Everybody looked at Greg.

"What?" he said. "My sister is deaf..."

Greg smiled to Mrs. Grissom and then walked to Grissom.

"How are you?" he asked him.

"Better now that I'm back home," he smiled.

"Is Catherine still with Sara?" he wanted to know.

Warrick and Nick nodded.

"Do you have an address?" Mrs. Grissom wanted to know.

"No, but I can ask," Nick replied.

*Mother, what are you planning to do* he signed to her suspiciously.

*I just want to talk to her* she signed back to him.

"Oh God," Grissom said.

"What is it?" Warrick looked at him.

A smile came on Gil's face and he had to laugh. Warrick and Nick looked at him. Then they looked at Greg.

Greg knew what Grissom meant and laughed too.

*Mother where are you staying* he signed when he stopped laughing.

*I have booked a hotel room but* she signed back but stopped when she saw his face when she mentioned hotel room.

*My place* he signed back.

Grissom looked up to Greg, and he immediately understand what he wanted from him.

*I can take you to Grissom's house if you want too* Greg signed to Mrs. Grissom.

*Would be great Greg* she signed back.

She turned back to Gil and kissed him on the cheek. *Get well soon* she signed and walked out of the room with Greg.

"You look like her," Warrick stated.

The only thing Grissom could do was smile. Every time his mother was near him, he had to smile. He love her very much.

"And now I know were you leaned to sign," he smiled.

"Yeah," Grissom said and looked at both of them.

"Did anything happen at work while I was gone?" he looked at Nick.

"Not much, only that Ecklie beat the shit out of Hank," he looked at Grissom.

"Ecklie did what?" he could believe that Ecklie lost it with Hank.

"Ecklie came out of the room and Hank called him an asshole, so Ecklie went back inside and punched him hard in his face," Nick said with a smirk on his face. "Wendy and Greg had to drag Warrick out of there or otherwise Hank would be in the hospital right now," he added.

"Wendy?" Grissom didn't recognised that name.

"Wendy Williams is the new lab technician from days," Nick explained, "She was the one who found out where you guys were."

"How?" now Grissom was curious.

"We found some dirt and she analysed it. She found some traces of what could be lava, and in Yucca Mountain there are." Warrick said but Grissom interrupted him.

"Two volcanic cinder cones," he finished Warrick's sentence.

"Yep," Warrick said.

When Greg and Mrs. Grissom were at Grissom place, Greg immediately called Catherine.

Greg explained to her what was happening and that Mrs. Grissom wanted to see Sara.

"Don't tell her anything," he said, "it has to be a surprise."

"I don't know if this is a good idea Greg," Catherine was sceptical.

"Mrs. Grissom wants to see her. Maybe she can convince Sara to come home," he said hopefully.

"Well, we can give it try," she sighed.

After giving Greg the address she hung up.

Greg gave Mrs. Grissom the piece for paper and wanted to leave, but Mrs. Grissom grabbed his arm.

*Could you bring me to her?* she signed.

*Sure I can, but I have to call my work first* he signed back and walked to the phone.

"Wendy, this is Greg. Can you do me a favour," he asked.

"Sure, what is it?" she asked curiously.

"Well, Mrs. Grissom is here and I need to take her somewhere. Can you take over my shift," he asked hopefully.

"Yeah, no problem bye," she said and hung up the phone.

Greg put down the phone and looked at Mrs. Grissom. *I can bring you to Sara* he signed.

A smile appeared on Mrs. Grissom's face.

It didn't take Greg long to find the address that Catherine had given him.

He dropped of Mrs. Grissom and went back to go to work.

Mrs. Grissom walked to the front door and knocked.

Sara opened the door.

"What can I do for you", Sara asked friendly.

"You must be Sara," she said, "I'm Kristina Grissom, Gil's mother."

Sara was shocked.

"Can I come in?" she asked gently.

"Sure..." Sara said and let her in.
