Alekxandra woke to cold water being poured over her face. 'Rise and shine' Bateman sneered as he slapped her cheek. She opened her eyes the room was still dark and her head was throbbing.

'Why' she whispered 'Why are you doing this Steven?'

He grabbed her arm, twisting it until she felt a bone snap.

Alekxandra screamed out in pain. 'Stop. please stop.' She was sobbing now.

'Stop?' Batemans face was again above hers. 'So you can go back to him again? Where's your little bugman now huh?' He reached forward and grabbed her face.

'Please. Please stop this Steven.' The pain in her head was nothing compared to the pain in her arm as she felt it swelling.

'By the time I'm finished with you no one is ever going to want you again' He leered at her as picked up a knife from somewhere near the bed.

Nick and Sara drove towards her house in silence, they pulled into the driveway. 'Sara. Sara honey we're home' Nick gently caressed her cheek. Sara nodded and moved silently towards the front door with Nick following close behind. She stood at the door staring as if she didn't know what to do. Nick reached into her pocket and pulled out her keys opening the door. Sara walked inside and sat down on the couch her hands in her lap staring blankly ahead.

Nick knew she was probably in shock. He pulled a bottle of water from her fridge and moved over to where she was sitting still blankly staring ahead. He knelt down on the floor in front of her. 'Here' he offered her the bottle of water. Sara did not move. Nick put the bottle of water down and pulled her hands into his. 'Sara..' he started.

'I couldn't stop him Nicky' Sara's voice was void of emotion and she continued to stare ahead.

Nick sat down on the couch and pulled Sara into his arms. 'It's okay Sara..'

Sara began to cry again, tears streaming down her face. 'It's not okay Nicky. It's not okay at all. It's my fault. I couldn't stop him.'

'Look at me Sara' Nick tried to make Sara turn her head towards him. 'Look at me damnit.' Sara's head turned sharply towards Nick. 'Listen to me Sara Sidle this is not your fault.'

'You heard Grissom.' Sara sobbed harder. 'He thinks it's my fault Nicky. I couldn't stop him.' Nick pulled her closer his hands rubbing her back.

'Shhh.. No one blames you.' He whispered into her hair as her breathing began to slow, her crying subsiding. 'It's alright baby. It's going to be alright'

*************************************************** *************************

Catherine looked at Grissom. 'Go home Gil.. You're not doing this.' She looked over at Warrick and then Jim.

Grissom ignored her and went to move inside the house but Warrick and Brass blocked the doorway. 'Move' he growled through clenched teeth.

Brass shook his head. 'I won't let you do this to yourself Gil. Go home.. You're too close.'

'I said move' he tried to push through.

Catherine put her hand on his arm pulling him away. 'If you don't want to go home then go back to the lab. But you're not touching this.'

'Come on Gil I'll drive you back' Brass grabbed his elbow and steered him towards his car.

Catherine and Warrick watched as they drove away. 'Alright let's do this' Catherine muttered as they walked into the house.

*********************************** **********************************

Nick held Sara sleeping in his arms, he looked down at her, and even in sleep she looked tense. He sighed as he picked her up and walked down the hall to the bedroom. Nick laid Sara gently onto her bed gently brushing her hair behind her ear. He kissed her forehead 'I love you Sara' he whispered. He found her cell phone in her jacket pocket and placed it on the bed beside her. 'I'll be back soon.' He murmured as he walked out the door.

**************************************** **********************************

Grissom and Brass drove back to the lab in silence, as they pulled into the parking lot Brass turned and looked at him. 'Why don't you go home Gil. We can call you as soon as we know something. We've got everyone looking for her.'

Grissom's jaw clenched but he said nothing as he got out of the car and strode into the lab not stopping until he reached his office slamming the door shut.

Brass sighed as the turned the car around and headed back to Alison Davis's house.

******************************************** ********************************

Alekxandra gasped when she saw the blade in his hand. 'Please don't do this Steven' she whispered as he used the knife to cut her shirt open.

'I love it when you beg' he began to cut her shorts.

Tears were streaming down Alekxandra's face as he moved over her. She closed her eyes and tried to block out the pain as she felt him inside her. 'Stop Steven please.. It's not too late.' She screamed as she felt him push harder, his laughter ringing in her ears as her world again faded to black.

************************************* *************************************

Warrick and Catherine were processing the scene when her cell phone rang. 'Willows' she answered.

'Hey Cath it's Nick'

'Nick.. Is Sara ok?' Catherine asked her voice showing concern.

'I don't know Cath she's pretty upset. She's sleeping now though.'

'You know he didn't mean it Nick. He was just upset.' Catherine rubbed her eyes she could feel a headache coming on.

'Where is he now?' Nick asked his anger showing.

'He's at the lab Nick. Warrick and I are just about finished here we'll be back there in about half an hour.' She answered.

'Have they heard anything about Alekxandra?'

'Not yet Nick, but I'm sure we will. Just give it time.'

'I'll see you at the lab Cath' before she could answer Nick ended the call.

Warrick looked over. 'Is Sara ok?'

'She's sleeping now. Let's get this stuff back to the lab' Catherine began picking up the evidence bags. Warrick walked over and put his hands on her shoulders.

'How are you doing Catherine?' he asked his hands rubbing her shoulders.

'I don't know Warrick. I've never seen him like this' she stopped collecting the evidence and turned to face him. He brushed her cheek with his thumb, as he pulled her into his arms. They stood for a moment neither speaking, only pulling apart when they heard Brass walking into the house.

'Alright let's get this evidence back to the lab' Warrick began to gather the evidence bags.

Catherine looked at Brass who just shook his head. 'Nothing yet huh' she sighed as she packed her kit up. 'Where's Grissom?'

'In his office last I heard' Brass replied as they walked towards his car.

********************************************** *******************************

Sara woke up about an hour after Nick had left, seeing her cell phone on the bed beside her she guessed he had gone back to the lab. She washed her face as she dialed a Taxi to take her to the lab.

********************************************** *****************************

Nick strode through the lab. 'Hey Nick.. I heard about..' Greg looked at him concerned. 'Is Sara ok?' Nick looked at Greg, he knew how much the young lab tech cared about her.

'She'll be fine Greg. Have you seen Grissom?' Nick looked at Greg again.

'He's in his office, but I wouldn't.' Greg watched as Nick strode off in the direction of his boss's office 'go in there.'

****************************************** *************************

Grissom sat at his desk, his head was throbbing and the Amerge he had taken earlier had done nothing to help. He felt useless, Catherine had all but banned him from helping with the case. I can't just sit here. he thought as he pulled his keys out of his pocket. One more set of eyes looking won't hurt he thought as he went to open his door as Nick burst through.

'What the hell do you think you were playing at Grissom?' Nick all but yelled as he came face to face with his boss.
