After getting herself settled in a bit and getting a coke she went to get an assignment sheet from Grissom. He had her working a rape/murder with Nick. "Well I'll go get Nick and we'll be out there pronto, see you later" She said cheerfully. Before she left to get Nick she gave Grissom a quick peck on the lips. Her and Nick were then on their way.
"So you and Grissom finally got together?" Nick said "I don't know what I'd call this but, I hope he feels the same way I do. I don't think I can't stand another heart break especially from Grissom. I've felt something for him since the day my eyes settled upon his. This something has just kept growing inside of me." Sara replied. "I always knew there was something between ya'll". When they arrived Hank was there already. He hadn't said much to her and deep inside she knew he had cheated on her. After he told them what they needed to know he went up to Sara and told her he was sorry and still loved her very much. "If you loved me so much why didn't you call me!" Sara cried out "You were seeing someone else on the side. I can tell. I've worked many cases where that's involved so don't think for a moment I didn't notice." "But, Sara I'm sorry. I was just confused". He then waited for her to reply but she didn't say a word. He'd had enough, Hank ran off.
Then Sara's cell rang, it was Catherine. "Hey, Sara. There's been another rape/murder about a mile from where the crime scene you and Nick are working so could you go down there and check on it? Brass is already down there and I will be down there in about an hour.". "Well, that was Catherine and there's another rape/murder victim about a mile from here so you'll be working this one solo." "See you 'round Sara". Sara then rushed over to the new crime scene. "Hello, Brass" "How are you doing, Sara?" "Quite good" "Well I guess I'll go into the house and find out about our dead body." "See you later". Sara quickly walked into the house and looked around a bit before going upstairs. The bathroom was covered in blood but the dead body wasn't there. So she looked around a bit and found it in what appeared to be a guest room. She was a young girl couldn't be much over 24 or 25, a very pretty girl too. "Got any I.D on her yet?" "Yea, Leslie Owens" "Anything else I should know?" "I can't think of anything". After David left she began taking pictures and collecting evidence from the body and surrounding area.
She then focused her attention on what appeared to be then victim's clothing. The shirt was torn down the middle and the pants were ripped but, they were made like that. Sara would know since she used to do modeling. Then it hit her. This girl was a model. Just look at her, tall, thin, plastic. This brought Sara back to one of the darkest times in her life. She loved being a model but the further she got into it and the higher ranked she got the more pressure she was under to stay as thin as possible and to go out and get plastic surgery. She had hit rock bottom her long time boyfriend had walked out on her, she lost most of her real friends and she was about to get fired. Then one night she attempted suicide luckily that was the night her friend was coming back in town. She came in her apartment to find her lying on the bed, lifeless.
It took a couple of months before they let her go back to college. Still she had to go to therapy 5 times a week for 18 months. Soon she came out of her train of thought and a few minutes later she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned around to start filling Catherine in on her findings she soon found out it wasn't her. It was a man and a big man at that. Before she could even get a good look he struck her with a baseball bat and strangled her until she was unconscious. He then picked her up and carried her off to a secret set of stairs and went out a back exit and into a car. He dumped her lifeless body in the backseat and drove off a back way.
After a half hour Sara awoke, she felt dizzy, and also felt unaware of her surroundings. A few minutes after she was kidnapped Catherine finally arrived. "Sorry about that Sara I got caught up in traffic", "Sara?" As she walked around a bit she realized Sara was not there. So she got on the phone and called Nick. "Nick?", "Yea", "Well I arrived at the crime scene and Sara's not here", "She's missing?", "I'm thinking so. Make sure to contact Brass before talking to Grissom". "Sure, Cath.".
"Brass?" "Yes, Nick" "Well we have a problem" "What's that?" "Well Sara is missing" "Oh no. Well I'll put out an alert right away. Oh and do you want to tell Grissom or have me do it" "I'll do it." Nick ran to Grissom's office as soon as possible, nearly knocking Greg down. "Nick, what's the matter?" "Sara!" "What about her?" "She's miss…" "WHAT! This cant be I have got to find her. "She's the only one I feel I can truly open up to and what's more is I have never felt this way about a girl. I think, I love her" "Hey Gris, I'm sorry I will do everything I can to help you find her".
In the meantime Sara's kidnapper drugged her up and took her to his room, after that she couldn't remember a thing. When he left the room she heard his car start and roll away. So she wiggled her wrists and freed them then cut the cloth from around her ankles. As she stood to leave she noticed her clothes were tattered and torn so she carefully took them off and bagged them off along with the cloth and rope. After that she went through his closet and grabbed a robe and some shoes. Walking out the door she realized she had no idea as to where she was so, she called the lab and told them the address she was at told and them to pick her up ASAP. Within 30 minutes Grissom arrived.
"Sara?" "Yes" Sara replied weakly "Are you okay?" "I don't think so" "Well let's get you to a hospital and have some tests run" As soon as Sara heard the words: tests and run she knew what had happened. "Grissom?" "Yes, Sara" "I just want you to know that…" She was then interrupted by Nick and Greg walking up to her.
"You ok?" "No" "Well if there's anything you need just let me know" After they left, Grissom helped Sara into his car and drove her to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital they took Sara to a room and told her that a CSI would be by shortly to take samples. Grissom came in and waited by her side and about thirty minutes later Catherine came in and was shocked at who she saw, though she knew it was going to be Sara, it was still a shock to see her like this. She'd recognized Grissom for sure but she could barely tell that the woman with him was Sara.
"Sara?" "Yes", "Do you mind Grissom being in here during your exam?" "No." "Hey, Cath. Would you do the fingerprinting first?" "Sure thing, Gris". As soon as Catherine finished fingerprinting Grissom held onto Sara's hand. It seemed like the "exam" lasted for hours. Grissom hated every minute of it, he hated the fact someone could do something like this to Sara.
The part he couldn't stand the most was what Sara called the "clock exam". He was hoping his hearing would just go away momentarily because; he could hear her groan in pain. It was then over and, she turned to Catherine who was barely holding it in "Catherine, I just want to thank you for coming down here after you shift was over so I would feel more comfortable" "No problem, Sara, I'd do it anytime for you, you've been such a good friend and I just want to let you know that Lindsey really looks up to you" "Really?" "Yea, she even asked me if she could dye her hair brown and get brown contacts and when I asked her why she told me it was because she wanted to be just like you"
