Emma ()- posting faster"Griss" shouted Nick hanging onto the door handle for dear life as Grissom speeded down the intersection.
"Were going to crash," said Catherine covering her eyes with her hands every time they came near another car.
"Or get pulled over" added Greg who seemed to quite enjoy the ride. In any other situation he would be enjoying it, especially seeing Grissom blatantly breaking the speed limit and driving like a mad man.
"We will do neither. Brass has called patrol, no one is to stop us"
"That doesn't stop you from killing us all" screamed Catherine bracing herself by grabbing her seatbelt as they turned violently to the right. "Gris Sara needs us alive" she shouted her eyes still shut tight.
"Yes and we need her alive" everyone shut up hearing this comment from Grissom. They all knew why he was riving so fast. They had worked out they had little over two and a half hours to get to Sara and the drive itself was nearly two, add that to the time to find Sara and they were in trouble. The problem was they weren't even sure if they were going to the right place, if the algae was from there or if Sara was still there, but no one was willing to voice this for fear saying it would somehow make it true.
"DANIEL" Liam practically screamed at him as they drove down the road. "What the hell about John" he shouted Grabbing the wheel so they skidded across from lane to lane, blaring car horns sounded at them.
"He was the one with the answers. He was the one stupid enough to get caught," he shouted punching Liam so he realised the wheel.
"We are not leaving him" Liam punched Daniel in the face causing him to slam on the brakes and stop.
"Fine you want to get caught you get out. The plan didn't work and it's to late," said Daniel angrily slamming on the gas pedal again.
"They probably don't even know it's you I'm the one who they have a warrant out for. He's your brother man turn round!" Liam was getting out of hand now.
"No he's not. Not by blood"
"Oh so bloods thicker than water then. What the hell was your great plan anyway. Piss off all of CSI by killing one of them, well good plan it worked"
"It did"
"WHAT?" screamed Liam. Now Daniel slammed on the brakes of his own accord.
"If we stayed and didn't do anything, the whole of the gang would be after us. This way they leave us alone and the police are to busy looking for there CSI to notice us leave" he started moving again as another punch connected with his face.
"You never intended to help him did you"
"NO. He was going to let me go down. They pulled me in interrogation on the Watson job". Liam looked confused for a minute.
"You weren't in on that job"
"No but John left my jacket with the body along with my parking pass. He set me up. If it weren't for a hooker I would be exactly where he is. Now are you coming or not"
"NOT" Liam punched Daniel so hard the car swerved of the road and into a ditch. Liam hit Daniel again knocking him unconscious.
"Now you will join him," he said getting out the car. Another car had already pulled up so Liam started to run luckily for him there were a lot of bushes that he was able to hid in as he watched a woman call a ambulance for his brother.
"Sweet dreams," he whispered before continuing off in the direction theyhad come from.
Greg was sat by a computer in the lab, he had up a geographical picture of lake Mead and was waiting for Mia to give him the results. He hated just sitting in what used to be his lab. Normally he would be the one standing around having everyone wait for what he was about to say. Mia had to physical force him to stop interfering with her work.
"Mia" he called impatiently.
"No. I can't go faster than the machines," she said dropping a small blob of clear liquid onto a card and inserting it into a large machine. Greg watched the screen eagle eyed as it flicked through a series of images eventually coming to halt as the printer started. Greg practically knocked Hodges over in order to get there first.
"Watch it" shouted Hodges angrily. He didn't really care that Greg ran into him, he knew why he wanted to be there first but he had to shout otherwise people might think he'd gone soft. Greg almost ripped the paper from the printer hastily reading it and scanning the computer screen.
"Well?" asked Mia standing behind him.
"It's shallow growing, how do I get it up" said Greg slamming the mouse down unable to fully concentrate.
"Here" Mia took the mouse from him and got a map up of all shallow growing algae at lake Mead.
"Thanks" said Greg dialling on his phone.
The shrill of ringing broke the silence that had fallen over the car.
"Hello" Catherine grabbed the phone before Grissom was able to not wanting him to drive, panic and have a phone conversation.
"East side" Catherine shouted sot he whole car could hear. Putting the phone down she explained.
"It's shallow growing, only found on the east side of lake Mead"
"Well that's nearer then" added Nick happily.
The phone rang again.
"Brass?" questioned Cath answering it. After coming of the phone she had a solemn look on her face.
"They have Daniel. He's unconscious they found him in a car crash. No sign of Liam or Sara"
"So we think Liam's with her?" asked Nick.
"Don't know. Apparently looks like Daniels been in a fight" said Catherine trying to gage Grissom reaction. He was still dead set on the road ahead she doubted he was even listening after she told him where Sara might be.
They were only moments away now as Grissom steeped on the gas. By Catherine's calculations they had less than ten minutes to find her. On pulling into a parking lot just near the lake everyone abandoned the car. Grissom nearly hung himself on his seatbelt in his rush to get out forgetting to undo it. No body needed to say what had to be done they all followed the same steps down so they were looking over the lake. It was very picturesque right new. The sun had just begun to rise and everything had a golden glow. Nick and Warrick stopped half way down the steeps both heading of in different directions into the tree's in the surrounding area. Catherine was first to reach the beach. She began hastily running along the sand looking in bushes or for any sort of clue. Grissom was last down the steeps. He stood on the sand. He could see the others hurrying around him. To be honest he didn't know what to do, what to look for. Instead he stood staring over the lake. Then he noticed something. Air bubbles were bursting on the lake just a bit out. He ran full pelt towards the water. It was cold and momentarily froze his entire body. He wadded out until it got too deep and he dived under. The water was murky and he could barley see. Then a large black mass came into view. He could make out air bubbles rising from it. He swam up to the container banging on the side.
Sara was neck deep in water when she heard and felt vibrations on the side of the container at first she thought it was a fish or her imagination but they were to consistent. She used all her energy to bang back. Grissom felt the banging back on his hand. He pulled at the door but found it padlocked. Sara began to panic as the banging stopped. Grissom swam straight up gasping for breath.
"NICK" he shouted seeing Nick running down the steeps. He had seen Grissom dive into the water.
"Nick we need something to open a container" he indicated with his hands. Nick frantically looked around grabbing a discarded piece of metal piping before running straight into the water after Grissom. Catharine and Warrick had seen what was happening and were racing towards that point on the beach. Nick reached Grissom in record time, his muscles burning from the adrenaline pumping through them. He took a deep breath dived under with Grissom. Wrenching the bar between the door and metal lock he pulled on it but with no successes. Grissom grabbed hold and the door began to give way. Suddenly Nick flew backwards as the door realised. Sara's nose and ears were suddenly filled with water and she felt someone tug on her. Next thing she was gasping for breath at the surface.
"OH GOD" Catherine shouted her fingers barley holding onto the phone as she called for help. Nick and Grissom dragged Sara to the edge.
"Sara" Grissom lay at the waters edge Sara laid on him.
"Thank you" she sobbed into his chest.
"Sara I love you" he said tears threatening to fall.
"I love you too" she said cling onto him.
"When did that happen?" asked Nick standing up out the water. Catherine just grinned at him tears streaming down her face.
"Ages ago. Where have you been?" she said rushing to Sara's side.
"Sara…. i love you to" she said throwing her arms around her.
"Thanks" coughed Sara.
"She's taken," added Grissom wiping at his eyes.
"I mean I'm sorry," she said pulling away as Warrick gently took her shoulder.
"Now would be a good time to stop talking," he said pulling her away. Sirens filled the air as the group stood on the beach all breathless and stunned. Catherine's phone broke the moment.
"GREG" she shouted before answering it and moving away.
Sara was loaded into a ambulance along with Grissom and Nick who were been taken to be cheeked out.
"We'll pick Greg up and meet you at the hospital" said Catherine as they shut the doors.
