CSI: HAWAIIAN VACATION
Chapter 17
"Exactly how long ago did you leave her in there?" Grissom asked, his voice rising a bit as worry took over.
"I don't know, fifteen....twenty minutes ago. She said she'd be right out." Catherine replied....pushing her way through the crowd, leading Grissom towards the Women's restrooms.
"I thought the whole point to you two going to the restroom together was so you wouldn't be left alone to be harmed?"
"I know that.....I just....I don't know Grissom."
When they reached the door, Grissom almost barged through, but Catherine grabbed his shoulder, pulling him back.
"If she's okay in there, and you just walk in, she might get angry at you."
"I really could care less what she thought, I'm worried about her and I'll tell her so if I do find her all right in there as I hope I will."
Grissom shrugged her hand off his arm and pushed the door open, meekly calling out her name as he entered.
He felt the room suddenly shift to cold and shivered as he took a step around the corner and let his eyes look around.
When his eyes looked to the floor he almost lost his balance and fell backwards.
Before he could move forwarda Catherine was running over to Sara and kneeling to the floor, checking for a pulse.
Grissom stood frozen to the spot, trying to make himself move, and finally when Catherine smiled lightly as she brushed the hair back from Sara's bruised and bloodied face did he jump forward and kneel down next to her.
"Oh God, Grissom this is all my fault." Catherine said as a tear streaked down her cheek as she tried to look over Sara for any broken bones.
"Don't worry about that now, go get the car. We need to get her to the hospital now!" Grissom said, his voice gruff and loud.
"Yeah." Catherine yelled, running out of the bathroom.
Grissom reached down and touched Sara's arm trying to wake her. She murmured and then winced in pain. Grissom felt tears come to his eyes as he saw tears pour down her cheeks from her blackened closed eyes.
"It's going to be okay Sara. I promise." Grissom said quietly, slowly reaching down and picking her up carefully in his arms.
"Ohh!" she murmured in pain as he lifted her up in his arms.
~Oh God, this hurts.~ Sara thought, wishing he'd just lie her back down and leave her alone.
Grissom slowly started out of the room, but picked up his pace as he neared the back doors.
As he stepped outside, the Volvo pulled up and Nick opened the door and ran over to him, helping him carry Sara to the car.
Nick opened the back door and Grissom softly set her in Nick's arms as he slid it, then motioned for Nick to softly slide her in next to him.
By the time Nick shut the door, Sara was in a sitting position, leaning up against Grissom. Her head leaning on his shoulder and her body starting to slip out underneath her.
"No Sara." Grissom said as she tried to lie down. He pulled her closer to him and brought his arm down her other side and held her close.
Defeated and tired she let her head fall back against his shoulder again and he reached over and took her left hand.
"Owww!" she cried as he closed his hand over hers. He quickly reared back as new tears ran down her bloodied cheeks.
"I'm so sorry.....it's going to be okay honey." Grissom said quietly, whispering into her hear, so the loudness wouldn't scare her.
Grissom then looked up as Catherine took off up the on-ramp and he suddenly notcied he was breathing quickly.
"Where's your pulse at now?" rang through his ears as he looked ahead trying not to think about it. He found himself slowly smiling at the memory of how much it had surprised him when she reached out and touched him. No one had ever touched him so gently before.
He missed the way they were before and as they drove quickly to the hospital he again made up his mind that he would make things go back to the way they were before...and then make them better.

"....Her left wrist is broken and she has a slight concussion. Lots of bruising on her face and some down her body. In a few weeks time the bruises will clear up and she should look as normal as before. But as you already know she will be in a substantial amount of pain for the next week or two. The rest of this week I want her strictly in bed, no walking around other than using the restroom. Her medication will make her a bit drowsy and she be a little more emotional than usual...."
Grissom sighed as the doctor went on tuning his voice out trying to think of how all of this would work.
~Should we go home? No....Sara wouldn't want that...she would feel bad. But Sara's hurt, it wouldn't matter. I don't care how much she'd be mad at me I think I should take her home. I'll have to talk it over with the others.~
Grissom then looked around the room at the group. There're eyes trained on the doctor and drinking in every word nodding their heads every so often.
"Mr. Grissom?"
Grissom looked up to see the doctor looking at him.
"Yes....I'm sorry...I was thinking."
"You've given a report to a officer I hope?"
Grissom nodded his head. "Yes I have."
"Good...I was hoping you would, whomever did this to her deserves to be thrown in jail. It pains me to see young women being beaten in clubs or anywhere for that matter. I hope they catch the guy."
"Thank you doctor. I hope they will to."
Grissom smiled lightly as the doctor walked off and then turned back to the group as they talked over things.
"Okay....two of us at a time. Who wants to go see her first?" Nick said quietly, looking from face to face.
Catherine sat back and looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry...I don't think I can right now. I feel terrible...I don't think I could take walking in and seeing her right now."
Warrick brought his arm around the back of her chair and squeezed her shoulder. "It's okay hon. You don't have to see her right now. We can go in later."
Catherine nodded, still not bringing her eyes up from the floor.
Grissom sat back and watched as Nick and Greg exchanged glances, slowly shaking their heads at eachother then turning to look at him.
"No one wants to go in?" Grissom asked.....afriad to be the first, but also anxious to go see her.
"We can't Gris....not right now. Why don't you go?" Nick said quietly, rubbing his hands together.
Grissom looked one last time around the group and decided he should.
"Are you all sure you don't want to go first?" Grissom asked hesitantly. Now hoping that he would be the only one.
"Yeah....you go ahead." Greg said, suddenly speaking up.
"Okay." Grissom said quietly, slowly standing and turning around.
Chapter 18 coming soon!
Sorry guys for this chapter taking so long. I had it typed up on Thursday night and was almost done, but I closed MicrosoftWord for a moment and forgot to save and deleted everything. I WAS SO MAD. Anyways....I'll make sure I never do anything so dumb again. I think I'll prob have Chapter 18 written by tonight. Thanks for being so patient, I know how much I hate waiting for a new chappie and I am so sorry for the long wait. Thanks for reading!
