Disclaimer: I'M BACK! I haven't had internet for at least 3 months so that's why I haven't been able to post for so long. Thanks for being so patient and everything! I love ya'll!

"It's been 5 days since he woke up and he's unconscious again. I feel so…..helpless. I mean, I finally get back on the field and here he is, in a hospital, giving me no guidance whatsoever. I feel lost. I don't know what to do." Sara said, burying her head in her hands, tiredness washing over her.

"You'll just have to be independent for a while. It can't be that hard. Besides, we found the person killing all these innocent girls. That has to count for something. All we need now is to get him to tell us how to get Catherine back." Nick said, biting into a sandwich.

It was a beautiful Saturday, just days after Grissom tried waking up. Warrick was improving but Catherine was still out. Sara was let out of the hospital, and her and Nick were having lunch together.

"It's just so hard with Grissom not being there. I mean, he's always there." Sara said, dropping her sandwich onto the plate, loosing all pretense of hunger.

"I know, I know. Well, I have to go back and work on my case. You be good to yourself, okay? Don't worry, we'll bring them back." Nick said, getting up and giving a reassuring smile to Sara as he walked out of the café.

"Might as well question Kevin….and to think I trusted that scum…."Sara said, paying for her bill and left, leaving for CSI.

In the dark room, he sat, an arrogant smile playing at his lips. Sara walked in, disgust written on her face.

"Sara, remember our last talk? You were telling me how much you loved me. Do you still feel that way?" Kevin asked, his smile growing as Sara flinched.

"I'm going to be the one asking the questions. Were you the one that put this 'syndrome' on Catherine and the other three girls?" Sara asked, determination in her eyes and voice.

"You'd like that, right? To be all high and mighty and find the killer. I didn't do it, no. But I know who did. I helped, yes. I'm the one who tampered with the evidence. I'm the one who's been watching you and Catherine for 2 years. I'm the one who gave the killer all the information he needed to kill everyone he did. I was the one who wrote the notes. I was the one that sent the cards to Grissom. I was the one who did everything except the murders and the locked-in syndrome. Bet you'd like to know who it is, wouldn't you?" Kevin said, sneering at Sara.

"Would you like to tell me?" Sara said, knowing the answer already.

"I'll tell you if you give me a kiss, Sara." Kevin said, smiling.

"I'll pass. We'll find out on our own." Sara said, disgusted.

"You know, since you're so understanding, I'll tell you anyway. He's an retired surgeon and a police officer. His name is John McConnor. Tall, probably 5'10", 189 lbs., could break you in half easily. Short brown hair, and golden eyes. They sparkle so you can't miss them. What do you think, Sara? Am I the man that you've always wanted? The man that made your heart skip a beat? The one that made you warm all over?" Kevin said, getting up and walking slowly towards Sara.

"Get away from me." She whispered venomously.

"Oh, come on, Sara. Just a few weeks ago, this is what you wanted. You begged me to kiss you. What's wrong, Sara? I've been watching you. In your house, your bedroom, at work, even when you're taking a shower." He whispered in her ear.

"Get away from me!" she yelled as Brass came in.

"Kevin get away from her. NOW! Put your hands in the air now." Brass yelled, pulling out his gun.

"Fine." Kevin said, looking at Sara one last time before Brass took him away.

"Are you okay?" Brass asked, putting his gun away.

"I'm fine. Just fine. Can you look something up for me?" Sara asked, turning to Brass, still breathing fast.

"Sure what is it?" Brass asked.

"Can you look a police officer that's a retired surgeon? His name is John McConnor. Here's a description of what he looks like. I'm going to go see Grissom." Sara said, giving Brass the description.

"Sure. See you later." Brass said as Sara left.

Nick walked into Warrick's room, seeing him stir slightly. Nick's heart skipped a beat at the thought of Warrick being awake. But it was just a flutter. Just a insignificant response. He had thousands of those for the week he had been asleep. Nick was giving up hope of Warrick ever waking up. He talked to Warrick about work, how Catherine was doing, Sara, Grissom. The usual stuff.

"Well, I'll see you Warrick. Wake up, you hear me? Please wake up." Nick said, walking over to the door and leaving.

Sara first visited Catherine before Grissom when she came to the hospital. Walking into her room, she saw the terrified figure of her partner and friend. She couldn't stand it. She had to leave. She couldn't' look at Catherine like this. Not anymore. Never again. She silently left the room and headed for Grissom's room. Walking in, she saw him sleeping peacefully. Walking over to his sleeping figure, she talked to him.

"Hey Grissom. We almost have him. We almost have the killer. I love you so much. Please wake up." She said, her voice shaking. Then suddenly, he started moving, moaning. "Oh my God. Doctor! Doctor! He's waking up! Come on Grissom. Don't fall back again. Wake up. Oh my God!" Sara yelled, seeing Grissom's eyes open and then close. The doctor's rushed in and told Sara to wait outside. Sara leaving his room, heard screaming coming from Catherine's room. "Oh no." she said, running to Catherine's room. Catherine waking up also. More doctors came in and smiles broke out on their faces.

"It worked. The treatment worked. She's waking up. She'll be fine." The doctors said, taking her blood pressure and her pulse as it spiked.

"What treatment?" Sara asked, totally stunned.

"Remember that doctor we told you about? The one who knew the cure to locked-in syndrome? He set her up on this treatment to cure her. And it worked. She's waking up." The doctor said, smiling.

Sara's face broke out in a smile as she saw Catherine sit straight up and call for her.

"Sara! Oh my God! Sara! I was so scared!" Catherine screamed, tears streaming down her face. Sara joined her as they both cried and hugged and talked.

"We found him, Cath. We finally found him. The one who did this to you. We found him." Sara said, as Catherine's face broke out in a smile.

To be continued……

Okay, I know I haven't post to this in who knows how long but I've had a writer's block for a long time. So I've finally got some inspiration back so here I am posting. There's going to at least 3 more chapters till I finish it up. I also wanted to put a positive spin on this chapter since the others were so...not positive. It's really stupid, it's a terrible chapter. I know. I'm just too lazy to fix it. Anyway, thanks for being so patient. Love ya'll and please R&R! THANKS!
