A/N Thank you to Missy-Jane and Barb for the reviews I'd kinda hit a dead
end but I'm working through it..

Grissom stood under the spray of the shower, the hot water flowing over him. He dried himself and walked into his room. He lay down on his bed and stared at the ceiling, he shifted onto his side trying to get comfortable. He closed his eyes but was tormented by visions of Alekxandra battered and bruised lying in the hospital bed. He pulled the pillow into his arms sighing as he inhaled her scent. He closed his eyes again trying to find sleep.
After tossing and turning for an hour Grissom got up, grabbing his cell phone and keys he headed out the door towards the police station.

Catherine, Warrick and Nick stood behind the glass window watching as Ecklie and Brass questioned Steven Bateman who sat smirking at both men.
'Mr Bateman, would you mind telling us your whereabouts in the last 48 hours?' Brass spoke barely concealing his anger.
'Yes Mr Brass I would' he looked defiantly at the detective.
'Listen creep we know what you did' Brass stood and walked away from the table.
'Oh really Mr Brass' Bateman snarled.
'Yes and we have the evidence to prove it' Brass looked at the mirror knowing that the other CSI's were standing behind it.
'I didn't do anything' Bateman crossed his arms.
'No?' Brass snarled 'I'll tell you what you did, you abducted a CSI, beat her, raped her, broke her arm and put her in intensive care. That's what you did.' By the end Brass was yelling. Bateman just smirked.
'Well don't worry we've got the evidence to speak for you' Ecklie spoke looking at Brass. 'We're wasting our time here. Let's go.'
They stood and walked out of the room meeting the others in the hall.
'I can't believe him' Catherine was fuming 'he act's like he's done nothing wrong.'
'He's a psycho Catherine, we know that' Warrick touched her shoulder.
Brass walked over to where they stood talking. 'They're taking him back to the holding cells, no judge is gonna give him bail.'
Two guards walked out of the interrogation room with Bateman, as Grissom came round the corner. Seeing Bateman Grissom moved quickly towards him. 'You son of a bitch!' he grabbed Bateman by the shirt before Brass could stop him. 'If she dies I swear I'll ki..' before Grissom could finish his threat Brass and Ecklie dragged him off. 'Get a hold of yourself Gil he's not worth it.' Nick pulled Grissom away as Brass and Ecklie pushed the guards towards the door.
'You heard him he threatened me' Bateman shouted.
'I didn't hear shit' Brass snarled. 'Get him out of here.'
Warrick and Nick had Grissom by the arms as Catherine watched shocked. In the fifteen years she had known Grissom she had never seen him go off like that. Brass and Ecklie walked back over. 'What the hell were you thinking Gil' Brass was fuming.
Nick and Warrick released Grissom's arms feeling the tension leave him. 'You have no idea what this is like Jim, Ally is lying in that hospital beaten half to death and that bastard put her there.' Grissom's tone was hard and cold, he turned and walked away.
'Leave him' Catherine whispered as Nick and Warrick went to follow him. 'Let him calm down a bit first. He's going through hell right now.'
'Hell or not I want him nowhere near the lab' Ecklie spoke looking at the three CSI's and Brass. 'I know this is hard for him but I won't have my case thrown out because he can't control himself. I'll speak with Carvallo he's on leave immediately' with that Ecklie nodded at them and walked off.
'Who get's to tell Grissom?' Nick asked looking at the others.
'We'll have to find him first' Warrick spoke as they headed down the hall towards the front doors. As they walked out into the car park they realized they wouldn't have to look far. Grissom was sitting in his Tahoe, his head in his hands. 'Looks like we don't have to look far' Catherine spoke quietly.
Catherine walked over and tapped on the window. 'Hey' she said softly as he rolled the window down. 'You know that can't happen again don't you Gil?' Catherine spoke softly.
'I saw him and I just lost it Cath' She could see Grissom was shaking.
'You've gotta keep your head. Ecklie's mad as a wet hen over this, you're on leave, and he's speaking with Carvallo now.' Catherine pulled the car door open, expecting Grissom to jump out fuming about what Ecklie had said.
'He's right' Grissom looked at her sadly 'I wanted to kill him Cath, I wanted to grab him and choke the life out of him for what he did to her.'
'I know Gil but you've got to keep it together. For Ally ok?' Catherine looked at his tired eyes. 'You didn't sleep did you.'
Grissom shook his head 'Every time I closed my eyes all I could see was her.'

After spending the past two hours telling Sara about Alekxandra's childhood, Sara and Jayne sat in silence the beeping of the monitors the only sound. Jayne stood and stretched. 'I'm going to find a cup of tea Sara can I get you something?'
'Coffee would be great' Sara smiled 'I can go get it if you like.'
'No it's alright, it'll give you two time for some girl talk' Jayne smiled sadly as she moved towards the door.
Sara picked up Alekxandra's hand 'You're mum is great Ally, you're so lucky. You've got so much to live for.' Sara felt a slight squeeze on her hand, and her eyes flew to the other womans face. Slowly her eyes opened. 'Hey' Sara reached up and gently brushed the hair from Alekxandra's face. 'Don't try to talk there's a tube down your throat. You're mum is here she's just gone to get some coffee.' Alekxandra's eyes closed again and slowly opened. 'Catherine dragged Grissom home for a while. He sat here all night.' Ally's eyes closed again before slowly reopening. 'He said to tell you that he loves you.' Ally's eyes closed again and her hand went slack. 'No Ally you need to stay with me' Sara looked at her face as the monitors began to beep and alarms sounded. 'I need some help in here' she yelled as a doctor and three nurses burst through the door.
'You'll have to wait outside miss.' They pushed her out the door.
Jayne came running down the hall seeing Sara outside the room. 'What happened Sara? What's going on?'
Sara stood her face pale tears running down her cheeks staring through the door. 'She was awake.. I.. I told her Grissom loved her and then...' Sara began to sob putting her arm around the other woman as they watched the doctors work.
A/N yes I am a totally evil bitch... or so I'm told... send me a review and tell me...
