AN: sorry it took me so long to update I was ill before my Easter holidays so I have had a lot of work to catch up on. Enjoy, please feel free to leave a review, constructive criticism welcome.

Sara woke up in an unfamiliar bed and looked around for clues as to where she was. The last thing she remembered was the lab exploding, and if she were in the middle of all that then surely she would be in some kind of pain. As she rolled over her eyes met with Greg's, "Hey, I was wondering when you'd wake up." Greg's voice was pained but his relief in seeing Sara conscious was obvious.

"Hey yourself. How long was I out?"

"I'm not sure I've not been awake long myself."

Sara looked up as the door opened and Warrick and Catherine walked in, looked only at Greg and walked straight towards him.

"Hey! You're awake!" Warrick looked exhausted and Catherine's eyes were rimmed with red.

"Yeah and look who else is." Sara smiled at Greg's obvious attempt to get the attention away from him. Unfortunately, it didn't work, their eyes looked straight through Sara.

"Greg? What do you mean? Catherine's voice was laced with concern.

"I mean Sara!" Greg pointed at her as well. This all seemed very funny, 'How can I see her and these guys can't?'

"Greg! That's not funny man!"

"What?"

"Sara's in surgery right now! So don't joke about it, okay?"

Greg's brow creased and he tried to convince himself it was just a dream, which was working until Sara spoke to him.

"What! Why am I in surgery?" Warrick and Catherine didn't hear a word of it, "Ask them!"

"Guys? Why is Sara in surgery?"

"She hit her stomach really hard in the explosion. She was bleeding internally. She's lost a lot of blood."

Greg turned to look at Sara who had hidden her face in her hair and all Greg could do is watch as Sara walked past Warrick and out the open door. As Sara brushed past, Warrick shivered and muttered, "I thought these places were supposed to be warm."

Greg was in shock, 'If Sara is in surgery how come I just saw her?' "Erm, I'm just gonna get some rest, guys."

"Okay that sounds like a good idea." Catherine and Warrick left him to sleep.

Sara looked around the corridor, holding back tears; if this was disturbing for Greg, it was mind-blowing for Sara.

"I cannot be dead! That would be so un-cool! How come Greg could see me but Warrick and Cath couldn't?"

"Wow! You look lost!"

Sara looked down at her waist and saw a little blonde girl, who she guessed was about 4 or 5, looking up at her and smiling kindly.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Ruth, what's your name?"

"I'm Sara. How come you can see me?"
