Thanks for the reviews. As you can see my spelling and editing needs some work.

"Lindsey", she tried to run over but Warrick held her back. Instead she clung to him crying as he led her away from the scene. He watched, as Lindsey was loaded in to an ambulance. After about 5minutes he asked almost cautiously, "Hey Cath, do you want to go see her?"

She composed herself, "Yeah, Warrick"

"I'll drive", came the response.

Lindsey had been having a great time. She and her best friend Renee had been laughing and joking around when the rain had started. it was just a drizzle but, suddenly the bus slid going round a corner and everyone screamed. Then they were rolling and everything went black.

##########

Warrick was on the phone, "Grissom, yeah its Warrick, look me and Cath are on our way to the hospital, yeah it was Lindsey's camp bus, yep, ok, see you there."

##########

Lindsey was watching all this. She saw the people pull her from the bus. Saw her mum in tears with Warrick holding her. A person speaking beside her made her jump. "Is that your Mother".

"Yes, but why am I here? I'm not dead am I?"

"No, you're not yet but nearly, when the bus rolled you lost a lot of blood, you're in a coma, their not sure if you'll come out of it".

##########

"Ms Willows?"

She and Warrick were waiting for news on Lindsey's condition. She jumped and held on to Warrick hand for support.

"Yes".

"Your daughter has suffered massive blood loss which has caused her to lapse in to a deep coma, swelling of the brain, a puncture lung as well as numerous broken ribs. She is in intensive care at the moment on life support and a respirator, tonight will be a touch and go." At this point Grissom arrived and Catherine broke down completely on to his shoulder. He held her to him and stroked her hair, whispering words of comfort to her. All sorts of thoughts were reeling through her mind. Why had she let Lindsey go on the camp? She answered her own question, 'because if I didn't she'd be the only kid not going and I'd look like an over protective mother'.

They made their way to Lindsey's room. Catherine sat down beside her bed. "Hold on baby, I've lost a husband to death, I don't plan to lose my daughter".

Grissom watched this from the doorway. After a while he moved out of earshot and made a call.

"Stokes"

"Hey Nick, Grissom, listen Lindsey has been involved in a bus accident. I want you and Sara to see if there is any evidence of tapering or any thing else suspicious."

"Yeah man, will do."

Grissom went back and found that Warrick had left and he cautiously went into the room. He sat beside her and held her hand in his. She leaned back against him and slept. They sat there, the two of them, with the metallic beep in the background. After a few hours she stirred. He was still with her and she realized then what a great friend he was.

His cell phone rang, polluting the calm. He left the room to answer.

"Grissom"

"It's Nick. I think you should come and check this out. Looks like the brake cables have either been tightened so tight that they snapped when to much pressure is applied or been cut, there is also some thing about the road. You know those markers that show corners?"

"Yeah, what about them?"

" You won't believe this, they've been moved!"

"So the driver wouldn't have known about the corner until it was to late and if he tried to break the cable snapped."

"You got it in one."

"Thanks Nick."

He re entered the room. "Cath", he said cautiously, "I think you should go home. There is no thing you can do here, they'll call you if anything happens" A few minutes passed.

"Ok."

 He began to move towards the door but stopped when he realized that she wasn't following him. He turned. She was holding Lindsey's hand.

"Bye Baby, Mummy will be back soon," she whispered, "Be good" as tears once again began to stream down her face.
