Right I've had enough of Sixth form! Anyway, on with the show!


Sara became frantic as she felt the ropes loosen. Just a little bit more. She thought, ignoring the warm liquid that slid down her hands. Her eyes suddenly widened and she shuffled forward as Grissom spun round with his back to Nick, the knife hidden safely out of sight.

James slouched in and watched the group with suspicion. Something on Nick's face made him head towards the man.

"You're hiding something." The man hissed, stepping menacingly towards him, but just as he got Catherine he stumbled to the side.

"You're just looking for an excuse to hit him!" Greg snarled, pulling his leg back into the wall. James steadied himself and glared at Greg while holding his lower ribs. "Well come and try me! I'll do more than that." Greg shouted cockily, pulling at the chains. The CSI team found it intimidating to see the bouncy, jolly lab tech/ future CSI act tough. He played the part well, even if it wasn't him.

"Why you little…" James growled, jumping forwards and pinning Greg's head against the wall. Holding his head just under the chin, he forced Greg's head up and back, so Greg had to look down at the man. "No one threatens me!" he snarled, only to get another knee towards the groin that missed by inches. James gritted his teeth and punched Greg up under the chin, knocking his head back into the wall. Stars flashed in front of Greg, but he still stayed awake.

However he wasn't prepared for the second blow to the bridge of the nose. He felt like the front of his face had exploded and then felt a sharp pain in the back of his head before he fell into the embrace of the darkness.


"Greg!" Sara screamed, turning to face the fight as the chained man's eyes rolled back in their skull and his head slumped to his chest. James laughed before giving him a last punch to the ribs and then walked calmly out of the room.

"Greg?" Sara asked, eyes wide with fear. No answer. "Grissom quick!" she turned her back to him and waited till the older man turned and continued to hold the knife.

Finally the ropes gave way and she felt the blood rush back into place. She quickly untied her feet before turning round to untie Grissom and take back her knife. Grissom quickly undid his feet before he untied Nick behind him.

Sara Rushed up to Greg, her feet stumbling slightly with fatigue. She looked Greg in the face and watched the gradual pour of blood that masked his face. She could see a new cut over the bridge of his nose and spotted the first cut over his eye. She gently held his head back as she felt for a pulse and a breath from him. Having felt both she laid his head back down on his chest and went to look at the chains. Moving her hand from the back of his head she found blood. The back of his head must have split also.

By then Nick was untied and so Warrick. Grissom and Warrick were helping Catherine while Nick tried the shackles around Greg's ankles.

"I can't them open." He hissed as Sara crotched down next to him. She took out her pocketknife and tried to unlock them, but nothing worked.

"What now?" Sara whispered, just as the door to her right creaked open.


Sorry so short…again, but I've hardly any time to do this story, so everything will be short with long time gaps.
