Kegel- oh I see your point about the coat, I'll just pretend he was wearing two or that it was magic : ) (thanks for the criticism I'm always welcome of it as long as it's helpful. I'm after my beta Amy because she's disappeared since I discovered she's as bad at spelling as me!)
angry penguin- thanks, I will : )
Greg had to be pulled of Sara as the man began checking her.
"Got a weak pulse" he called over the radio "she's going to need tubing and plenty of heat blankets"
She had a pulse she was alive, this bit of information registered in Greg's brain and he broke down into sobs his hands shaking.
"Were going to get her up first then you" the man told him.
"I need you to lift her head on three" Greg took her head and lifted her onto the stretcher as a blanket was put round her and she was strapped in.
"I'm, coming back for you" Greg nodded weakly.
"Ok go" he called over the radio as Sara was lifted up into the helicopter.
Greg watched as the man came back down for him.
"Hold on to me" the man called as Greg automatically lifted his feet while a harness was strapped on. He didn't even realise he was off the ground until a hand grabbed him and pulled him into the helicopter. His brain was barely functioning; he was given blankets that were wrapped around him while he sat watching them work on Sara.
"Tube now" called the medic as he began intubating Sara.
"Bag her" he called as another man began pumping air into her lungs. Greg watched as her chest started to go up and down. More foil blankets were laid over her as the pilot radioed to base. He remembered him saying to have a trauma team ready but he was busy staring at the heart monitor attached to Sara.
"It's too slow" Greg didn't mean to say this out loud as he watched the line slowly dip and rise.
"That's normal, she's lucky" Greg didn't see how you could call this lucky.
"Because of the extreme cold her organs slowed down including her heart which stopped blood been pumped out her leg so she didn't haemorrhage" Greg watched as a bright orange splint was placed round her leg and winced as he saw blood ooze out.
"Hold on" the man called pointing to the bar behind Greg which he took hold of while they landed. A team of people grabbed Sara and lifted her onto a gurney and whisked her away.
"Sara" he called weakly as the man now took him and guided him down. The wind swept around him from the rotor blades like it had done when he found Sara.
"It's ok you'll be with her in a minute" he said as Greg was lead down a white and green corridor until he saw a pair of glass doors and Sara laid on a gurney. He was taken in and sat on a bed opposite.
"Someone will take a look at you in a minute" Greg just sat starring
"Thank you" he called after him as he left, he suddenly felt the desperate need to be polite.
"Good breath sounds on the right, down on the left" called one doctor as he listened to Sara's chest. She had now been put on a machine that was breathing for her.
"We need x-ray down here" called the second doctor as he lifted the gauze on her leg.
"Get a suture kit and ten of proline," ordered the first doctor as he examined Sara's stomach wound. Greg sat and watched helplessly as doctors ran around and ordered varies tests for her.
"SAT's are dropping."
"She's haemorrhaging from somewhere," shouted the man as he began checking her over.
"I think we've got a internal bleed get me a ultrasound" Greg watched as machines began beeping insanely and people ran round.
Warrick was sat with Catherine while she got her wrist put in plaster. Her head had been stitched and her ankle bandaged. She was to be kept in over night for observations. She sat with blankets wrapped round her on the edge of the bed. She had barley spoke since she regained consciousness expect to ask about Lindsey and Sara. Lindsey was safe at home with Cath's mum while Warrick had the unpleasant job of telling her they hadn't found Sara.
"Finished" smiled the nurse helping Cath on with a sling. Just then the medic from the helicopter appeared at the door.
"We found her. She's in the emergency room now" he smiled at them
"Is she ok?" spoke Cath quickly.
"She's in good hands" he replied.
"I need to see her"
"Woah" Warrick stopped Catherine from getting of the bed.
"Please I need to see her" Cath looked pleadingly at the nurse.
"Ten minutes and you keep the blankets" the nurse said sternly as Warrick helped Cath reluctantly into a wheelchair and then wrapped a foil and cotton blanket around her. Catherine was now wearing a hospital gown that dropped at the shoulders showing scratches that stood out across her pale skin. A nurse had washed her after she arrived wiping Sara's blood from her hands. Tears silently ran down Cath's face as Warrick wheeled her back to the emergency room where she had first arrived. They stopped outside the doors seeing Greg wrapped in a blanket looking terrified starring away from them. Then they saw what he was looking at.
"We got a bleed in the chest get me a drain now" Greg watched in horror as the man cut into Sara then inserted a tube.
"SAT'S coming back up" called a nurse. "Pulse is improving"
"Right I want a CT scan as soon as x-ray are done," said the doctor taking off his gloves and dropping them on the floor and walking over to Greg.
"Is she ok?" he croaked quietly
"She's doing well. She broke a rib which caused a bleed this stopped her lungs from being able to expand properly making it difficult for her to breath" Greg barley took a word in as he began prodding him.
"Good pulse, you need to get dried and keep warm. Sara's going to x-ray now you can wait down here for her" Greg watched as her pale form was once again taken from him. Catherine grabbed Warrick's arm as they wheeled Sara by them.
"Your friends are outside" Greg turned to see Warrick starring at him. He leapt of the bed and ran outside to them.
"I thought she was gong to die," he sobbed as Warrick put an arm round him.
"Catherine your ok. She said you'd gone up the hill but I didn't know…"
"It's ok Greg. She's a fighter" he patted him gently. Greg followed them back to Catherine's room where he sat in the chair while Warrick paced by the door. Cath lay on the bed her eye's shut reliving what she could have done, if she stayed with Sara, if she kept going and didn't stop.
"Hey their here" Nick's voice startled everyone as he; Brass and Grissom appeared in the doorway.
"Catherine how are you?" asked Grissom coming in and sitting on a chair at the end of the bed.
"Sore" she replied weakly.
"Greg you ok man" asked Nick noticing how distant he looked.
"Hum" he asked suddenly realising that everyone was starring at him. "How long is it?" he asked looking at Warrick
"She'll be back soon" he reassured him "Sara's been taken for some scans" he explained to everyone.
"Well that's good" spoke up Brass mostly convincing himself.
"She wasn't breathing by herself," whispered Greg.
"Yer but the doctor said she should once the chest drain and shock wear off," said Warrick walking round and firmly gripping his shoulder
"More visitors, we'll have to start a queue soon" smiled the doctor walking in between Nick and the door.
"I have some news regarding Miss Sidle, since she has no next of kin I'm able to tell you her status." He paused while he flipped open the chart he was carrying. The silence felt like it went on forever.
"She regained consciousness momentarily, however we are still keeping her intubated until her oxygen saturation improves. She however showed good motor functions and the CT shows only minor damage. However there had been serious damage to the nerve and blood supply to her left leg and she has been taken to emergency surgery"
"SURGERY" Greg jumped out his chair like he had been shot
"Will she lose it?" asked Nick.
"I can't say at this minute. I will however let you know when she is in recovery and allow one of you to see her" he finished before leaving.
"Surgery's not good," said Greg panicked.
"It's fine. They can do lots now, she'll be fine" Warrick practically pushed Greg back down into his seat.
"We just have to wait" he said and began pacing again. After ten minutes Catherine had fallen asleep. After eighteen Nick and Grissom had slumped down in their chairs. After twenty Warrick went outside and fell asleep on a chair just outside the room. After forty-five minutes Greg's body finally gave in and he drifted to sleep.
Warrick woke suddenly with the sound of footsteps. The doctor returned as he got up and followed him into the room. Everyone woke suddenly having trouble adjusting to the light.
"I have some news regarding her condition"
