Author's Note: This chapter is really short and so are the next few but, coming up shortly they'll start to get long. This one isn't very emotional and it's mostly about how Sara is taking to the idea of Grissom being the hospital. The next chapter will be up soon; could be as soon as tonight or as late as tomorrow morning.

Before she had the chance to continue he grabbed her hand and gently kissed it. She then looked up the man she saw lying there; he seemed so different from the man she'd met several years ago. He was vulnerable, he was, for once, helpless but, she knew the second he got out of the hospital that he'd be the strong man he is. He'd go right back to trying to get this guy, if Catherine allowed him to keep working on this case. She knew she had to say; what she'd been wanting to say before it was too late.

"Grissom, I just wanted you to know that I care for you, I care for you deeply, and you mean the world to me. And I wanted to give you this."

She then took out a small silk handkerchief and inside was a beautiful silver chain with a locket on it.

"It was something I made when I was younger. My dad enrolled me in a jewelry making class because I'd always been fascinated by the necklaces my mom had. During the last week we made lockets and put a picture in there of ourselves to give to someone special later on and I've found who I want to give it to."

She reached out and took his hand and placed the locket inside. He held it tightly, as if someone was trying to steal it from him.

"T-th-thanks" Grissom barely managed to say as he fought the emotion he felt.

She helped him put it on and then before leaving whispered "It'll all be okay. I'll see you tomorrow" and with that she left.

"Sara Sidle."

"How'd it go with Grissom?" Greg asked impatiently

"Good, you here to pick me up?"

"Yea, I've been here."

"Why didn't you come in?"

"I thought you'd want to be alone with him"

"Nah, it's not a big deal. I'll be down in about 3 minutes" .

She quickly headed for the elevator and went down to the parking area where Greg was.

"Thanks for waiting Greg"

"You owe me, big time." He then puckered his lip and stuck out one cheek towards her and pointed to it, as if, to say kiss it.

"No Greg; remember?"

"I so should have asked you out earlier."

"I wouldn't have said yes. Your cute, well okay hot but, don't let it go to your head, but that doesn't mean I like you or would have even gone out with you."

"Well at least I'm hot".

She almost wished she hadn't of said that. He was now even more of egomaniac. The rest of the day he went around chanting about how hot he is.

"Sara, what's up with Greg?" Catherine asked

"He told me I owed him and wanted me to kiss him and I asked him if he remember that I don't cheat and he said "I so should have asked you out earlier" and I didn't want to hurt his feelings too bad so I just told him that while he is hot I wouldn't have gone out with him"

"He still likes you?"

"A while back he kept asking me if you ever talking about him or hinted at liking him or if I thought that you'd go out with him."

"He can get annoying at times don't you think?"

"Yea, but he's good at what he does, plus that just Greg's way of doing things. I find it very funny. Trust me your not the only one who thinks Greg is attractive. When I brought my little girl up here a couple of days ago she told me and the way home that she thought the "guy who doesn't look like he brushes his hair" is hot."

"Aww, that's too cute. Does Greg know?"

"She made me promise not to tell, so you don't know anything." Catherine said with a wink.

Just then Greg walked in.

"Hey ladies I got a match for you. It looks like the guy that dug his nails into Grissom was indeed Sara's attacker."

"Thanks Greg" Catherine and Sara both said.

"It looks like this guy is after more than just you." Greg said, walking back to the lab.

After hearing that she ran off to the locker room where she dug out a picture of her and Grissom.

"That's a nice picture, Sara" Nick said seeing how upset she was.

"I just don't know"

"What don't you know?"

"How this is going to turn out. It's obvious this guy who attacked me is after more than just me."

"I'm sorry Sara."

"On top of that I don't have anywhere to go home to. My apartment is a crime scene and I don't have the keys to Grissom's house."

"You could stay with Catherine. I'm sure she won't mind."

"True"

"I just don't think it'd look too good if you came over to my house and stayed considering I only have one bed" Nick said then left after giving her a gentle caring hug.

Sara then stood up and wiped away her tears with a Kleenex from the box she always kept in her locker.

"Hey, Catherine, can I ask you a favor?"

"Sure"

"Well since my apartment is a crime scene and I don't have the keys to Grissom's townhouse can I stay at your place?"

"No problem, I'm sure Lindsey would love that."

"Thank you so much."

"What's that in your hand?"

"It's a picture from a while back of me and Grissom. I was going to put it in that picture frame I have in my office."

"That's a good picture. You two look so happy together."

She then walked off to her office and took the beautiful silver picture frame which had been detailed with little flowers and pink crystals.

"I now have something to put in here" She whispered to herself.

Though she had always had the picture she hadn't felt secure about showing it off until now, now she knew he cared. Carefully she slipped the picture into the frame and slowly sat it on her desk taking time to admire its beauty. After she'd stood there for a while, by now, daydreaming, she heard a knock on the door.
