Part 6/?
Grissom sat in the lab going over the pictures taken from Sara's apartment, but was more lost in the thought of Sara herself. He became aware of the muffled sounds of someone speaking, and slowly able to make out the voice.
"Your hearing went out again didn't it?" Catherine spoke, hoping he was able to hear her now.
"Yeah." He replied softly.
"Grissom. You should really consider the surgery. It might work."
"Yeah there is a chance it might work, but then it may not work at all. I just don't know."
"Grissom-" She was cut off by Grissom's cell phone ringing.
He pulled it from its clip on his belt, "Hello?"

Once Brandon left, she was able to see a phone through the
opened door. Luckily her feet were not tied and, with much
difficulty, she was able to stagger to her feet with her arms still
bound behind her.
She stood on shaky legs. The nausea returned and she almost
collapsed to the floor, but steadied herself leaning against the
wall.
`Come one Sara you can do this' she coached herself. `Do it for Grissom. Do it for the baby.' She thought.
With tremendous effort, she finally made it to the phone. She dropped to her knees, knocking the phone off the receiver and to the floor. Using her nose, Sara dialed the familiar number. She dropped to the floor and placed her ear to the receiver.
"Hello?" the voice answered.
"Griss?!" She couldn't control her emotions and started crying.
"Sara?!" He answered in shock. "Sara where are you? Are you ok? Has he hurt you?"
"Grissom." she could hardly breath she was sobbing so hard. "I-I-It's Brandon. He's taking me to San Francisco."
"Sara. Where are you?" He asked.
"I don't know Griss. I've been locked up in a room. He went out to do something and accidentally left the door to my room open and I saw the phone. I've been trying to get to it for half an hour."
"Sara. Listen to me sweetie, can you look outside and see anything? Anything that you can tell us that will give us some clue to where you are?"
"I don't know. I'm tied up and I can't get up Griss. It looks like I'm in an abandoned apartment building. I can't hear anything outside. No traffic or anything."
"Sara can you try and somehow get to a window or anything?"
"Hold on. I have to leave the phone." She said starting to roll over to get up.
"Sara. No don't leave the phone." He yelled into the phone,
Catherine watched on in horror as Grissom tried to direct Sara over the phone.
She was at least 3 feet away from the phone when she heard him, and saw it. The front door was open.
"Grissom!" she cried. "I can see the city. I'm just outside of the city."
That's when Grissom heard it - a scream that could only signify excruciating pain.
