If Heaven: Chapter Six
Author's note: Sorry it's been forever since I updated this. I was at school and thinking of this fic so I wrote this chapter there. Unfortunately I didn't print or email it so It was stuck on a school computer. Then when I did print it on Friday my Teacher saw it. Now that was interesting. So I got detention but finally it's posted. Next week is going to be hectic because I have AIMS testing which are those annoying end of the year standardized tests. oh goodie Rolls eyes. Later- Airforcintraining.

A week later...
Still no sign of Alec. Sara had gotten Emily enrolled at a school nearby and her neighbor watched her until Sara arrived home in the late hours. The neighbor didn't mind because her husband had about the same shift so she was on Vampire hours also. Sara had spent a bit of time with Emily before sending her off to school by walking her to the bus stop. When Sara arrived home she saw her door was unlocked.
'I thought I locked it', she thought but shrugged it off.
She walked in and closed the door locking one of the locks, the simple one, but she didn't care. Sara turned to get some sleep in her room when she saw Alec standing there, and her heart froze.
"Alec," she whispered fearfully when she then saw the baseball bat in his hand.
"Sara," he smirked wickedly.
She remembered that her gun was on the table and hopefully he hadn't.
"Alec don't do this," Sara said.
"I got away with it before," he said. "And now that I can't get arrested for being here, as far as I'm concerned you were the one who started arguing with me when we talked. You threw the first punch and I protected myself."
He lifted the bat and lightly patted it against his other palm.
"Alec," Sara started getting pretty scared remembering all the other beatings he'd set upon her before. "I swear I'll do whatever you want just please don't do this again."
She started to back up but he shook his head making her stop.
"You'll do anything huh?" he said as he walked over to her and she looked down when he stood right in front of her.
He lifted her face and looked her in the eyes.
"Alec please," She whispered as a tear fell.
He stepped back and swung the bat but she went down to the ground ducking beneath the swipe as he instincts kicked in. Sara rolled from the next one and stood.
"You've been learning things then," Alec said and Sara kept her eyes on him as she moved around the area as if she could do it blindfolded.
He threw the bat at her and she side swiped it and then he punched towards her but she dodged it and rammed him sending him over the couch. Sara ran to the door but was whirled around as she reached the lock. The punch landed in her gut and hurt like a bitch but she kneed him in the hip making him howl a little. He was too close meaning she was at risk, she knew that. Sara tried to get away and dodge the next punch to her face, but it got in the spot. She pulled her arm back and decked him straight in the jaw making him stumble back a bit. Sara didn't hesitate as she jumped and kicked him in the face, and as she whirled in the air flipped and kicked him again sending him against the table.
Sara knew the gun was there and a bad feeling settled in her stomach as Alec turned towards her with the gun in his hand. He let the bullet fly. Sara felt it scrape by her stomach slicing it, and she did as Aaron taught. She pretended it hit her in the gut and doubled over before stumbling a little against the pain and falling to the ground. She closed her eyes and slowed her breathing as she meditated. She heard Alec set the gun down then and step around the couch towards her. Sara listened and then he nudged her with his foot, but she didn't even wince.
"Bitch," he muttered.
He lifted his foot and was about to kick her when she caught the foot and pulled it as she turned. He fell hitting his head on the glass coffee table and knocking himself out. The blood started to pour and Sara looked as he didn't move. After a few seconds his breathing looked like it stopped. She slowly went over and checked for a pulse but found none. Sara let out a breath and winced at her stomach. She then grabbed her phone and dialed 911.

Nick and Catherine ran into Sara's apartment, and saw the distruction and the body. Then Nick saw Sara sitting on a bar stool as the paramedic wrapped up her stomach to stop the bleeding from the bullet that skipped against her skin.
"You should be alright," The paramedic said. "Barely even cut deep. Don't stress it and it should heal over in a few days."
Sara nodded and the paramedic left. Catherine and Nick went over there as Sara put the ice on her jaw.
"So what happened?" Nick asked.
Sara looked at him, "What does it look like happened?"
"You did some serious ass whoopin'," Nick said and Sara smiled a little.
"Let's get you out of here," Catherine said helping Sara up.
"I can't. Emily is going to get home from school in a bit," Sara said.
"I'll meet her at the bus stop," Nick said.
"We need to find you a place to sleep for awhile," Catherine said and they led Sara to one of the two cars the two drove here in.
"Where would that be?" Sara asked.
"My place. I got a lot of room you can stay with Emily at until everything is cleared out," Nick said.
"I'll drive her there," Catherine said and Nick nodded.
Catherine and Sara got in her car and started the drive towards Nick's house.
"You scared the ever living crap out of us when we heard the call to your place," Catherine said and Sara let out a dry chuckle.
"That's scary? Try having a baseball bat being swung at your head," Sara said and Catherine sighed.
"Honestly if I were in your position at that time, I'd be the one dead," Catherine said.
"I almost was. I would be if Alec wasn't a crappy shot," Sara said.
"How'd you get him to trip?" Catherine asked.
"Played dead," Sara answered.
"Once again I'd be dead," Catherine said can't believing Sara could do that much damage, "My nerves would be beyond fried."
"I don't think so. We live with enough risk in our lives that if we actually thought about it, we could do whatever," Sara said.
"Guess so," Catherine said and Sara turned on the radio.

A week later Grissom and Sara were on a scene when a guy attacked with a gun. Sara had gotten out of the guys sight and when he was about to shoot Grissom she kicked the guys hand making the gun fly before she kicked him in the gut sending him down. He pulled out another gun and Grissom tackled Sara so neither of them got shot. Sara rolled away from the next shot and stood as she ducked and rammed the guy. He tried to punch her but she caught his arm and slipped under it going behind him an pinning it to his back in a way that if he moved it broke.
"Drop the gun," Sara said and he did.
Grissom got on his cell and re-called Brass and the rest of the cops to the scene. Later that night, Grissom looked at Sara who seemed a little peeved.
"I need a vacation," Sara said.
"Why?" Grissom said.
"Two guys asses I've had to kick in a week who both were tried to kill us, and you," Sara said.
"Well if it means anything, you kick ass too," Grissom said and Sara chuckled as Brass walked over.
"So superwoman, we need a statement," Brass said.
Sara looked at Grissom who sighed, "A long nice vacation."
Brass chuckled.
