A/N Thanks to smryczko who's brought it to my attention the lack of updating on my part, I sincerely apologise. I hope I still have some readers left out there. Here is pretty much the second to last chapter of this story as I don't want to drag it on, and hopefully I'll get that up pretty soon, so watch out, oh and for any of you that are reading my other story there is a double update been loaded (don't worry there's still at least another 4/5 chapters left in that one). Thanks for taking the time to read.
Lifting the knife up he stabbed to the right, exactly where his tormentor was standing. He anticipated this move and grabbed Grissom's wrist making Grissom tumble off the bed and onto the floor where they started to struggle. They rolled around until there was a yell as Grissom kicked the guy, but he regained quickly and went scampering for the knife that had been knocked out of Grissom's hand in the struggle, Grissom crawled quickly to the bed where he grabbed the gun lying on the floor and raised it level with his attackers head.
"Don't make me kill you" he requested
I'll save you the trouble, I'll kill you first
His attacker lunged at him with the knife landing a blow to Grissom's torso at the same time Grissom squeezed the trigger aiming at the guy's head the result being them both falling to the floor at the same time. Neither got up and silence enveloped the room
Sara had never been so close to dying before, as she saw that knife coming towards her she didn't know what to do. There was the man she loved about to kill her, she closed her eyes the last thing she wanted to ever see his blue eyes boring into hers as he killed her. Then the weight on her body lifted, was this what it was like to be dead , she slowly opened her eyes she could hear Grissom and their tormentor struggling on the floor. What had happened? She shifted her head to the side she could just see a slice where the knife had landed, Grissom had stabbed the pillow not her, her mind was not put at ease as she saw Grissom had lifted the gun at his attacker where upon the guy jumped at him landing them both on the floor as the gun went off. Get up Griss I need to see you're ok, was all she could think as she willed him to come and rescue her, but nobody got up.
She tested her voice she managed to get a croaky Griss out but it was barely audible, she tried again and again until she managed to sound somewhat normal, but he didn't answer no matter how loud she got. Now if she could just get her body to co-operate. She looked down at her toes and tried to wiggle them, no luck she tried her fingers she managed to move her whole hand, now that was a bit more promising. She looked down and noticed that Grissom's cell phone was near her hand it must of got knocked off when he fell to the floor. She managed to flip it open and turn it on, now how to use his speed dial with just one hand. She pressed button 2 on the speed dial and managed to get the thing onto speaker phone it was ringing, she never thought she would be so happy to hear a phone ring.
"Willows, where the hell are you Grissom, you have us worried sick" Catherine yelled down the phone at her intended target.
"Catherine, help, we're in the killers house I don't know where, I can't see Grissom he's on the floor" Sara started to sob
"Sara, are you ok? Can you hear or see anything that might help us find you?." Catherine asked in a worried tone
"No, it's pretty quiet, the house is sort of run down, you have to hurry Grissom isn't answering me, I think he's hurt and I can't move to help him" Sara pleaded
"Ok just hold on, I'm just pulling back into the lab now I need to see if Warrick and Nick have anything so we can find you, just stay on the line" Catherine requested.
After what seemed like eternity Catherine came back on the line, "We think we have your location Brass is on the way and we'll be hot on his tail, talk to me Sara tell me what happened".
Sara tried to tell Catherine everything but her brain was still quite fuzzy from the drugs, plus she was really worried that Grissom was seriously hurt or worse dead. Suddenly she heard the squealing of tires out the front of the house.
"Sara, Grissom?" Brass yelled down the hallway
" Brass in here, Grissom's hurt and I think the suspect's dead" she didn't want to relay her fears that Grissom was also dead
Brass stepped through the doorway, his face paled at the sight before him, Grissom was on the floor face down with his eyes closed blood was seeping from underneath his body. The killer was also face down with a pool of blood around his head. He looked over at Sara and stepped towards her.
"Help Grissom" she pleaded with tears in her eyes
"The paramedics are right behind me" almost on cue they raced through the door and started to process their patients. Brass picked up a blanket and placed it across Sara's body to try and give her some decency with other people around.
"Is he ok?" she asked the paramedics as they turned Grissom
"Just let us do our job's miss, besides somebody needs to look at you" one of the paramedics replied.
A medic that was dealing with the suspect got up and approached the bed.
"Are you hurting anywhere miss?" the paramedic questioned as knelt down beside her
"No, no I just can't move I think he drugged me" she replied all the time looking over at Grissom as they placed an oxygen mask on his face.
The paramedic moved into her line of view. "Ok we'll get you to the hospital they can check you out there, can you just stay with her while I grab a stretcher" he asked Brass as he turned to move.
"It's going to be ok" Brass reasurred her but there was something in his eyes that betrayed what he really felt
As the paramedic brought back a stretcher, the other team of paramedics wheeled out Grissom and the suspects still forms.
Catherine, Warrick and Nick had all come in the same Tahoe just waiting to hear some news outside the house. Catherine had started pacing back and forth in front of the Tahoe at an accelerated pace
"What's taking them so long" she cried in frustration
They all turned as they heard a noise as the paramedics started to bring out the stretchers. Catherine brought her hand to her mouth as she saw Grissom still pale form on the second stretcher paramedics crowded around, gently bringing him to the back of the ambulances. Warrick held her back as she tried to get to him.
"Cath, they need to get him to a hospital, just let him do their jobs, we'll follow" Warrick firmly held Catherine as she started to sob.
"Where's Sara?" Nick asked as the two of the ambulances sped away in the dark.
"They're bringing her out now" Warrick motioned to the front of the house, watching Brass walking down the steps talking to Sara and trying to keep her calm while the paramedics wheeled her towards the last ambulance.
"I'll see you at the hospital" Brass placed a hand onto Sara's still form before making his way over to the remaining group
Wiping a hand over his tired face, Brass wasn't able to erase the grim look that was clearly displayed.
"So, what's happened?" Nick asked before Catherine could get a word in.
" Honestly, I don't know, Sara's been paralysed with some drug and Grissom was stabbed somehow but managed to get a shot off hitting the perp in the head, look you can't process the scene, days will have to cover, get yourself to the hospital I'll wait for them to arrive". Brass managed to get out
The only response was for the group to mumble a thanks before getting into their Tahoe and driving off leaving Brass standing alone in the midst of chaos
