Ok on with the Chapter..
Sara lay on the table tears on her face made icy patches when the gentle breeze caught them. The feeling was coming back into her arm. The pain burned all the way through. Robert had gone back to his kit and was stood admiring his work.
"Now it's time for my reward" he said grinning. Sara knew what was coming and began with some unknown strength to battle with the restraints her arms and legs stung every time she moved them yet she kept struggling.
"This is gong to be fun" Robert grinned he held her right arm down poking where he had just sewn up he undid her restraint.
"I've got to give you a fighting chance" he said undoing her feet. Sara's feet were now free and she sat up kicking at him as she did.
"Now, now" he said going round the outside to avoid being caught. Her right arm was undone and Sara leapt from the table she pulled at her other arm getting it free. Sara could barely stand yet still when he grabbed her arm she fought back. Kicking and scratching at him. Robert dug his nails into her open wound causing Sara to buckle to the floor. After a struggle he now had his knees pinning her to the floor he was holding her right arm down and pulling at her trousers. Sara flung at him with her left arm he grabbed it and forced it down so hard Sara heard it crack before the pain shot through.
"NO, NO" Sara screamed. Then he stopped Sara could hear something so she shouted again. This time she knew what it was voices. Robert punched Sara in the stomach so she was winded and couldn't call out.
"I see them" Called Grissom pointing to the huts.
"Three" Catherine shouted back "Nick, you Greg and Brass on the left…." Catherine didn't finish her orders, as they got closer, they heard screaming. Grissom was away gun drawn closely followed by Brass. The shouting was coming from the third hut. Nick, Greg and a police officer headed round the side.
Grissom didn't even think about what could be inside instead he ran full pelt at the door kicking it as he did. A pain shot through his leg as the door bounded open but the adrenaline hid it well. There lying on the floor was Sara. Her trousers were at her knees blood covered most of her left hand side.
"Sara it's ok" Sara smiled weakly at Grissom before passing out.
"Oh God, Medic now" Cath shouted into her radio, the sight of Sara laying unconscious covered in blood was horrible, but it was the arrangement of her clothes that scared Cath the most. Grissom held Sara pulled her so her head rest against his middle, stroking her side.
Robert had made a run for it out the back the second her heard the second he knew they were there. After hitting Sara he ran out the back door and headed into the next hut. This one was much bigger than the last, an old warehouse with abandoned machinery. Robert ran skirting round the outside of the room. He made his way to stairs leading to a platform containing packing crates. He heard shouting from the next room. He slid in between two crates. Voices were getting nearer then the door swung open. Robert watched the light reflecting on the opposite wall spread across the room and dance on the metal gleaming on the side of the machinery.
"ROBERT" a cry came from below "ROBERT POWELL" it came again. They knew his name, he had been so careful but they must have been quicker than he thought, maybe he didn't post the letter far enough away. He hadn't had time to go back and clean the car, normally he would have done it before he raped them, but he couldn't wait with Sara. He should have cleaned the car first so it was ready to drive to the field near his house hidden in the woods. He always left his car out of sight, it looked abandoned and no body ever bother with it. He would leave the victims car and take his own back so there was no way to trace him. How had they found him here, her she must have told them somehow.
"ROBERT" the shout was below him now. Nick and Greg were stood back towards the door as Brass and two police officers went in. one was now stood directly under the platform. Robert shifted his weight slightly causing dust to fall below.
"UP" shouted Brass as he and the two police officers went up the stairs guns drawn.
Robert saw a fire exit if he could make it there. He ran the movement of his feet causing loud echo's to erupt. All Brass and the officers could see was a shadow moving along the back wall until there was a crash. The floor had given way. Greg and Nick saw metal fall from below followed by a scream and the crack of a head making contact with the floor. Robert laid motionless blood pooling round his head. Brass and the other officers careful made their way back down stairs calling for assistance.
"Brass he's dead" called Nick his hand covered in blood from where he had felt for a pulse. This man had inflicted pain and death on so many women, it almost didn't seem right he had gone in a matter of seconds, probably little pain only just realising what was happening, not like the women he had tortured for days before finally killing.
Nick, Greg and Warrick sat in seats outside Sara's room. Grissom paced the hallway.
"No sexual assault" Catherine let a small smile creep across her lips.
"What did the doctor say?" asked Nick.
"She has a broken arm, several broken ribs….two cuts going the length of her left leg and right arm, also across her middle" finished Catherine, "she's awake kind of disoriented but that's to be…." Cath stopped as beeping erupted from Sara's room. Doctors rushed by. Shouting was heard and Sara was wheeled out by them, a nurse was performing CPR on her, as she was lead away.
"What happened" Grissom stammered.
"We believe she has some internal bleeding were taking her to surgery" with that he left.
Two hours later everyone was sat in silence as the doctor appeared through the doors.
"We managed to stop the bleeding, however she will be sedated for some time".
"Yes" Nick surprise everyone by making a fist and waving his hand. Catherine hugged Grissom and whispered, "Now would be a good time to tell her".
Sara winced as she opened her eye's. bright sunlight hurt them. Her body felt strange as if she were floating, she then remembered Grissom, she opened her eye's an dwas surprised to see a woman stood in a nurses uniform.
"your in hospital love" the nurse sad cheerful. Sar afelt relieved but also upset, Grissom had gone.
"I'm going to be in trouble because eof you" the nurse said still in a cheery tone as sh efidled ith the drip going into Sara right arm. Sara then noticed her left was in a blue cast.
"why?" asked Sara.
"your friend Gil Grissom he's being here the past two days I convince him to go get something to eat and ou wake up" she said.
"Gil was here" Sara's voice lit up.
"he still is he should be back any minute, how's the pain?" she asked.
"not bad" Sara lifted the blanket a bit to see the entire length of her left leg was bandaged similar to her left arm.
"SARA" Grissom nearly dropped the drink he was carring placing it on the side as he ran in. he did something Sara would have never expected he hugged her.
"I was worrid about your" he said sitting on the seat next to her.
"I'm sorry" he said not making eye contact. Sara knew what he meant, he felt guilty for leaving her.
"did you get him?" She asked
"he died trying to escape" there was a long silence eventually broken by Grissom.
"I promise I will never leave you again" he said taking her hand.
"Don't make promises you can't keep" said Sara
"Sara I don't break promises to the people I love". Sara felt for sure that she must have been on some powerful drugs because she could swear Grissom just said he loved her.
"Love?" Sara stammered. Grissom squeezed her hand and looked nervously around the room.
"I have a problem with words, I guess sometimes I need a jolt to say what I feel," he explained.
"What will I have to do to get you to propose" smiled Sara, then a eerie silence filled the room. "I have a problem with words to, I use to many" smiled Sara.
"Then I guess we make a good team" Grissom smiled back.
"Ecklie wont agree" laughed Sara.
"Oh, good" said Grissom as he lent in and kissed her.
