Author's Note: This chapter is a little short, sorry but, I've got a lot more coming. The next chapter will be up around Saturday or Sunday.
It was then time for her shift. No news of Grissom, still. So she went out to her apartment with Greg.
"Thanks for taking me Greg."
"No problem."
"Uh, Greg"
"Yes"
"You're getting a little too close. Do you mind scooting over a bit?"
"But I'm better looking than Grissom"
"I wouldn't cheat on him for the world"
"Well that's good to know" Greg said disappointedly.
They then went in and the police were already there looking all around for signs of a struggle.
"What's this?"
"Well we're looking for signs of struggle"
"Struggle, of what, this was a break in"
"Well Grissom was kidnapped and they left this note" Sara then ran off crying, Greg followed.
"Hey, Sara they'll find him. I promise. I have an idea how about I take you back to the lab and I'll come back here with Catherine and Warrick and leave you with Nick."
"Ok just get me out of here all I want to do is find my Grissom."
Greg then drove her back to the lab.
"Nick, I'm dropping Sara off here and getting Catherine and Warrick." Greg said to Nick who was eating a sandwich
"Why are you dropping her off ya'll just left?" Nick asked in his cute Texan accent.
"Well we need some one to stay with Sara and, Grissom is missing so I don't think it'd be good for her to be on this case"
"Alright man hope you find him".
"Sara" Nick said.
"Yea Nick"
"How've you been doing?"
"Well until now things have been good."
"We think we got the guy who, you know, assaulted and kidnapped you. It's actually a team of guys but I think we can nail them."
"Good. I don't want him to get away with this. That was something I was supposed to keep 'till I got married." Sara said as her eyes glazed over with tears.
"I'm sorry Sara. I'm sure Grissom, of all people, will understand" Nick said giving Sara a hug and a tissue.
"So you know about me and Grissom too?"
"Well it's very obvious. He really likes you a lot but, the good thing is he can separate work and private life. I hope we find him. I think we will though."
"It was more than likely my attacker. He probably sent in the tip and decided to hurt anyone close to me."
Not wanting to remind her it was something she said that had them thinking to go back to her apartment he decided to direct questioning away from the "tip".
"How did he know it'd be someone close to you?"
"I don't know. Maybe he knows someone close to me here would search day and night for this person and that'd be his chance. All I know is I want Grissom back"
"I really do hope we find him." Nick then reached over to Sara and wiped away the cold streaming tears from her face.
"Thank you." Sara whispered.
A few moments later her cell phone started ringing.
"Hello"
"Well we've got a lead, Sara, but, we need your help", Catherine said.
"Well you know I'd do anything to find him"
"I need to know the address where you were taken to"
"613 Timber Street"
"Thanks".
"Who was that?" Nick said when she got off the phone.
"It was Catherine; she wanted to know the address I was taken to when I was kidnapped",
"Oh" Nick said.
Just then Greg came running in.
"Sara! Sara!"
"What Greg?"
"We found him. He's bruised and a few cuts but he's going to be okay."
"Thank you so much Greg". Sara then ran over to him and gave him a big hug, which she knew would make his day, then quickly ran to her car to go to the hospital where she knew they'd take him.
"Where's Gil Grissom?" She asked.
"He's on floor 3 room number 342"
"Thank you."
She ran to the elevator and quickly pressed "3". She quickly darted, as if he would soon disappear, down to his room and opened the door.
"Grissom, you okay?"
"I am now that you're here."
She embraced him gently so she wouldn't hurt him but, just enough to let him know she cared. She sat by his side holding his hand and talking. It was the most comforting thing in the world to him. He felt so at ease and it was like he pain had drifted away the second he saw her face.
"I'm glad you're okay"
"Me too, if I wasn't I wouldn't get to see your beautiful face."
A few tears streamed down Sara's face she was glad he was okay but, at the same time, angry that someone could do this to him. Just as she had gotten the right words in her head to say a nurse walked in.
"Ma'am are you family?" the nurse asked implying she'd have to leave if she wasn't.
"I'm the wife." She said calmly as if it really were the truth.
"Alright, you can stay. We just needed to change out the dressings on his wounds and run a few tests."
Sara gave a quick wink to Grissom who was not at all surprised by what she'd said. Deep down inside he wished it were true. When he stood up for the nurse to treat the wound his leg she nearly fainted.
Now as a crime scene investigator she was used to seeing wounds like this a lot of time wounds worse than this but, this was different. It was a 3 inch deep and about 6 inches long. He had, had a knife drug down his leg.
"Ma'am, are you okay?" "Ma'am?"
"Uh, yea I'll be okay if he is" Sara barely whispered rubbing her head.
"Sara, are you sure?"
He leaned down to look for himself then helped her get back to her feet. She then went to sit down in one of the chairs for visitors while the nurse treated his wounds.
"Would you like me to get you a bag of ice for your head?" the nurse said before leaving.
"No, I'll be fine. Thank you anyway."
It was now just her and Grissom. The silence was near awkward; he just stared at her, unable to take his eyes away from the spot she sat in. She knew what she wanted to say but, the right words had left her like a butterfly; they fluttered about and finally vanished.
"Sara, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yea, yea I'll be fine".
She then remembered the bases of what she was going to say.
"Grissom, there's something I really need to tell you." She then paused for a moment before continuing.
