Nick looked at Grissom not even trying to conceal his anger. 'What are you talking about Nick?' Grissom tried to push through the door.
Nicks eyes flashed with anger 'don't play dumb Grissom it really doesn't become you.' He spoke a little quieter.
Grissom looked at him 'If this is about Sara Nick I don't have time for this.'
'No but you had time to make your own little accusations.' Nick's voice was barely a whisper.
Grissom looked at Nick his eyebrows raised. 'What did you say Nick?'
Nick crossed his arms defiantly 'You heard me.'
********************************** ********************************************
Sara's cab pulled into the car park at the lab just as Catherine, Warrick and Brass were about to go inside.
'Hey Sara how you doin?' Warrick pulled her in for a quick hug.
'I'm ok.' She offered a small smile as they walked inside. 'So have we heard anything yet?' she looked at Brass hopefully.
'Nothing yet, listen don't take what Gil said to you to heart. You know as well as we do he didn't mean it.' Sara looked at him and nodded as they walked into the lab.
************************************************* ******************************
Alekxandra was jolted into consciousness by a sharp pain in her stomach, she screamed as she felt the blade twist inside her. 'No more please Steven. No more whatever you want I'll do it.' She screamed again as the knife moved.
'You don't get it do you' she heard him muttered as she passed out.
*************************************** ************************************
As Warrick, Catherine, Sara and Brass walked towards the lab Greg came running out towards them.
'Hey Greg what's the hurry?' Catherine asked as the younger man skidded to a stop in front of the group.
'Grissoms office' he panted 'Nick. Yelling.' Greg was so out of breath he couldn't speak.
The group quickly moved towards Grissom's office coming to a halt when they heard yelling.
'You had no right to speak to her like that' Nick yelling coming chest to chest with Grissom.
'I suggest you calm down Nick' Grissom yelled back.
Warrick ran into the office pushing the two men apart before they could exchange blows.
'What the hell do you two think you're doing?' Warrick looked from one man to another.
Sara and Catherine stood at the door their mouths agape, Brass's cell phone had rung and he was across the hall taking a call.
Grissom said nothing and turned to walk back to his desk and Nick just glared at him.
'Well?' said Warrick 'Have you guys finished with your macho little show?'
Before either man could answer Brass called out to them. 'We've had a report of a Tahoe speeding away from a vacant building, description of the guy matches Bateman.'
'What about Alekxandra?' Grissom's voice was barely a whisper.
Brass shook his head 'Guy who called it in says he heard a woman screaming before the car took off. I've got every uniform I can find heading over there as well as the paramedics.'
'What are we waiting for let's do this' Sara spoke and all at once they began to move towards the door.
******************************************** ********************************
Earlier.
Bateman stood looking at Alekxandra's unconscious form tied to the bed, a crimson river flowing from her wounds. He bent down and kissed her forehead and whispered 'Bye now my baby.. I'm sorry it had to be this way. But if I can't have you no one can. Give Jamie a kiss for me.' He stroked her hair one last time before he quickly grabbed the car keys and left.
********************************************** *******************************
When Grissom and the others arrived at the crime scene they quickly moved towards Brass who was speaking to an officer. They looked at the building in front of them saying nothing. Catherine and Warrick grabbed their kits and walked towards the door as the paramedics wheeled a body out on a stretcher.
Grissom felt as if he was moving in slow motion as he tried to make his way to the ambulance, Nick and Sara followed close behind. He felt his knees buckle when he finally saw her lying on the stretcher, Nick grabbed one arm while Sara supported the other. He stared at her unable to speak.
'Where are you taking her?' Nick spoke to the medic who was loading her into the ambulance.
'Desert Palms. Doesn't look very good so we need to move fast' and with that the medic disappeared into the ambulance before it quickly sped off.
Sara looked at Grissom, his face had paled and he looked like he was about to pass out. Nick held fast as he steered Grissom towards the car stopping briefly to let Brass know they were following the ambulance.
Sara led Grissom to the car while Nick spoke to Brass, she gently guided him into the front seat unsure of what to say to him. He sat staring blankly out the windshield. Nick gently squeezed Sara's arm as he made his way to the drivers seat. They drove towards the hospital in silence.
****************************************** **********************************
Catherine and Warrick walked into the building to survey the scene. Warrick stopped when he found a knife on the floor, 'Hey Cath I think I've found what he used to uh...' Warrick trailed off and walked over to where Catherine was standing beside the bed.
Catherine was looking at the crimson stain on the sheets, she felt ill standing there looking at the blood. Alekxandra's blood. She felt Warrick's hands on her shoulders and she realized she was sobbing. 'You don't have to do this' his voice was gentle as he rubbed her shoulders. 'We can call in Ecklie. Don't do this to yourself.'
Catherine turned to look at him, her eyes brimming with tears. Warrick pulled her into his arms 'I don't know what to say Catherine' his voice was shaky.
'Don't say anything' her voice was muffled, as she stood allowing Warrick to hold her, his hands rubbing her back.
Brass walked towards where Warrick and Catherine were standing. 'I've called in Ecklies team, they'll be hear soon. Why don't you head over to the hospital.'
Catherine turned to Brass and nodded as she allowed Warrick to guide her towards the door.
'I'll let you know as soon as we know' Warrick looked at Brass who nodded as they walked back into the night air.
**************************************************** ***************************
When Nick pulled up at the hospital the ambulance had already arrived. They quickly made their way into the emergency room.
As they walked towards the nurse's station they could hear the staff working on Alekxandra. Grissom paused looking through the doors to the room where she was. He couldn't see much, just her face, pale and lifeless as the doctors worked on her. Sara stopped beside him, but she didn't look into the room, she looked at Grissom, searching for what to say.
'Clear' someone in the room yelled as they shocked Alek's chest.
Sara gently touched Grissom's shoulder 'Come and sit down Gris, Nick's talking to the nurse.' He shook his head refusing to move.
'Please. You don't need to see this Gil' his head turned to look at her, Sara had never used his Christian name before. Before he could answer Nick walked over to them.
'It doesn't look good' he looked at Grissom who was still staring intently into the room. 'The knife lacerated her spleen, she's lost a lot of blood, broken arm, concussion.'
Grissom said nothing his eyes fixed on Alek as the doctors hovered around her, he felt like his world was crumbling.
Sara was sobbing as she listened to Nick, he pulled her into his arms, and they stood watching Grissom.
********************************* ********************************************
Warrick and Catherine arrived at the hospital and walked into the ER to find Sara sobbing in Nick's arms, while Grissom was staring into a room.
Warrick spoke first 'What do we know?'
'It's bad..' Nick swallowed 'Ruptured spleen, massive blood loss, broken bones.' he trailed off as Sara began to sob harder.
Catherine looked over at Grissom as Warrick pulled her into his arms. 'How is he doing?' She began to cry again as Warrick comforted her.
Before anyone could speak the doors to the room that held Alek flew open as they wheeled her towards an elevator. Nick stopped the nurse he had spoken to before. 'What's going on?'
'We need to take her upstairs to the OR, her spleen will have to be removed we'll know more after that. Why don't you make your way to the Intensive Care unit, they'll bring her there when they've finished.' she nodded and followed the doctors into the elevator.
They looked over at Grissom who had not moved. 'Someone should talk to him.' Catherine was trying hard to stop crying.
'I will' Sara's voice was muffled by Nick's shirt.
'No honey you don't need.' Nick started to say.
Sara looked at him 'this isn't about what I need Nick' she motioned to Grissom. 'His world is falling apart, why don't you guys head upstairs and let me talk to him.'
Catherine opened her mouth to protest but thought better of it. Sara could be very stubborn at times. She walked towards the lift, Warrick and Nick following her. As the doors closed they saw Sara approach Grissom.
************************************* **************************************
Grissom stood unable to move, it was as if he was stuck, his world having stopped the moment he saw her lying in there. He felt someone touching his shoulder, he turned to face whoever it was.
'Gris..' Sara didn't know what to say, what words could possibly comfort him right now. He looked at her tear stained face unable to speak, her hand still caressing his arm. 'Why don't we go upstairs and wait, they'll know more soon' he nodded and followed her towards the elevator. They stepped inside and the doors slid shut, he turned to face her.
'Sara I.' he searched for the words, but they would not come.
Sara gently pressed her finger to his lips. 'It's not important right now.' She allowed her hand to brush his cheek. He nodded at her as the elevator came to a stop.
****************************************** *************************************
A/N bwahahahahha I am sooo evil this week.. I guess this is what happens when I come home from work pissed off. I will try to write more tomorrow. Please drop me a line and let me know what you think.
