The votes are in the final score is Sara 10 and Catherine 2 so I guess that decides it right there.

Ok well it has been less than 2 weeks now but I cant help but write the conclusion for this story because I had so many wonderful reviews! Thank you all who reviewed and voted.

Disclaimer: if you didn't see it in chapter 1 I don't own CSI and never will happy now? The story idea is mine however

Previously on the shot: As they looked in the living room and started up the stairs they heard a gun go off in the direction of the kitchen. Then a second shot followed seconds later.

Sprinting in the direction of the shots Brass and Grissom arrived only to find the perp on the floor with a gunshot wound to his leg and his wife sobbing beside him. Then they turned and Grissom's heart leapt into his throat.

Lying on the floor with a gunshot wound to her stomach lay…

Presently on the shot: Lying on the floor with a gunshot wound to her stomach lay Sara her dark hair splayed out behind her, gasping for breath as if each breath was painful.

Catherine was crouched beside her gun drawn and looking pale and shaken.

Grissom suddenly snapping out of his shock quickly getting down on his knees to check and see how bad her wound was.

"Grissom I..I didn't see him behind the door" gasped Sara as she tried to explain what happened to her boss

"Shh it's alright" said Grissom soothingly as he was trying to stop the bleeding.

Brass having already radioed for an ambulance cuffed Mr. Lawrence and growled softly in his ear "If she dies I will personally make sure that they will lock you up for so long that you will never see the light of day again"

Leading the current Mrs. Lawrence to the living room Catherine sat her down to calm her down for the poor woman was hysterical with everything that had happened.

When Brass came back into the kitchen he saw that Grissom had Sara in his lap cradling her head as he was trying to stop the bleeding.

Hearing sirens he went out to the driveway to show them which house it was.

The two paramedics came into the kitchen and had to practically pry Sara out of Grissom's grasp he was holding her that tightly.

"Gil if you don't let them work she's not going to make it." said Brass as he laid his hand on Grissom's shoulder

Finally pulling back in a daze Grissom watched silently as the put pressure on her abdomen to help keep the bleeding to a minimum as they loaded Sara on the gurney and then started to wheel her outside

After they had loaded the paler than usual Sara into the ambulance the medics started to close the doors only to have Grissom climb into the back of the ambulance with Sara

"I'm sorry sir are you a family member?" asked one of the medics

"You might say that." Said Grissom as he sat there looking at the man as if to say "come on hurry up let's go a woman's life is on the line."

Shrugging his shoulders the medic climbed up and shut the door and they headed for the hospital.

Sitting there in the ambulance Grissom was lost in thought and feeling just a little lost as he looked at Sara on the gurney.

Feeling a hand grab his and squeeze Grissom looked down to see Sara squeezing his hand tightly enough that his knuckles were turning white.

Figuring that this was mild compared to what she was going through Grissom didn't say anything only squeezing her hand in reply to reassure her.

Brass and Catherine arrived about fifteen minutes after the ambulance had arrived.

They found Grissom sitting in the waiting room with his shirt covered in Sara's blood staring off into space.

"Have the doctors said anything yet Gris?" said Catherine softly as she sat next to him

"No but she has lost an awful lot of blood" said Grissom almost to quiet to be heard

They sat there silently for a while.

Catherine was curled up on the couch sound asleep, Brass was sleeping with his head lolling to one side as he sat in his chair, but Grissom was sitting there deep in thought

Flashback: "what's this?" Grissom asked as he pulled the form off of his desk.

"It's a request for a leave of absence." said Sara quietly as she looked at him

"Is this about that meat thing because I.. "Grissom started to say

"no Grissom this isn't just because of that meat thing as you put it."Said Sara shaking her head

End flashback

The doctor came into the waiting room shaking Grissom from his thoughts.

Waking up when the doctor came in Catherine and Brass stood up and stretched.

"Well Doctor how is she?" asked Grissom as he stood up

the doctor looked at them all for a second and then began to speak

"Well she is…

Ok I know im bad another cliffhanger but I cant help it.

Ok the polls are open again will she make or wont she it's up to you the readers (again) to decide also tell me if I should do an alternate ending with Catherine the one being shot just to be fair.

Thank you all for reviewing my first chapter and I hope you will be as kind with the second.
