Thurs. evening March 7, 2006
Grissom walked into the hospital and up to the front desk, nurse looked up ad smiled.
"Can i help you sir?" she asked Grissom slapped on his best smile.
"Yes I'm here to a patient under the name Nick Stokes." He relied she typed on the key board her long nail making a clacking sound that annoyed Grissom to no end. Finally she stopped and looked up at him the smile all but gone.
"His doctor has put a note here that you are to see him first before you visit." she explained Grissom nodded.
"Is the doctor avialible right now?"He asked.
"I think so let me call up there and let him know your waiting."She picked up the receiver and dialing a number waited.
"Yes Dr. Jacobs Nicks uncle is here to see him..Yes i told him he would like to see you now if he could..okay i will send him up there then." she hung and looked at Grissom again.
"You can go on u third door on the right second floor." she instructed Grissom nodded and hurried up the stairs and to the doctor office, he was worried about Nick and wanted to get to him and fast as possible.
"Aw Mr. Grissom please have a seat." The 'good' doctor greeted him, Grissom already didn't like him, he was short fat and his brown was thinning, he wore thick glasses that slide to the end of his nose frequently, and he sneered as if some one a put some thing foul under his nose.
"Well it seems Nick had quite the time his morning my the orderlies had to sedate him and put him in restraints which he is still in at this moment, i will let you in the talk to him only for the purpose of calming him down he's been very up set the last few hours since he woke up." The doctor explained, Grissom nodded a bit surprised they must have given a softer sedative then he had first thought if nick had been awake for a few hours.
"Mr.Grissom?"Grissom looked up at the doctor aware for the first that he had been asked a question.
"Sorry lost in thought what did you say?" Grissom asked.
"Are you ready to see your nephew?" the doctor repeated and, judging by the tone of voice he chose to use, was none to happy about it.
Grissom followed the doctor out of his office and through a heavy steel door that led to a long corridor lined with several doors along both walls, from here they went through another door only to end in another hall and then finally Grissom jumped as he heard a familer voice scream.
"GET THAT AWAY FROM ME I DON'T WANT ANYMORE DRUGS I DON'T NEED TO SLEEP ANYMORE!"Nicks screams could be heard all the way down the halls, Grissom sped up instinctively wanting to get to his man fast. He made the door to Nicks room and stopped dead in his tracks, what he saw made his stop in cheat and his blood run cold.
Nick had been straining against the straps that held him confined to the bed on which he lay, read an panting the effort, he eyes were blood shot,he skin pale, and his face stained from tears. Grissom sucked in a sharp breath an his eyes turned cold as ice.
"Nicky!" Grissom yelped causing the struggling man to freeze and look over at him Look on Nicks face sent Grissom heart into a tailspin.
"Gris man tell them no more drugs please." Nicks begged, tears making more tracks on his face. 'oh god Nicky what have we done to you?' Grissom thought.
" Stop don't give that i want to talk with him first alone please?" Grissom pleaded with the doctor.
Very well we'll wait outside." all the orderlies left and doctor closed the door behind them.
nick lay back and left out a deep sigh filled with relief, Grissom continued to watch the man as he lay relaxed and breathing slowly.
"God Nicky,What happened?" Grissom asked Nick moved his head trying to get a look at his boss from his pron position with no luck, Grissom seeing this moved to stand next to the bed and covered nick left had with his own.
"They drugged me not five minutes after i got here and again this morning this morning, they were just now trying to give me more,"Nicky explained, Gris remained silent.
"The doctor seems to think I'll okay in a few weeks if i continue to progress the way i am,but i haven't got any info just yet I've been locked up tight for 12 hours at the least."Nick finished.
"Are you okay do to this i get you out if you want." Grissom asked Nick closed his eyes as if in thought.
"Nah I'm alright just play acting." Nick smiled
"Wow you had me going there for a minute Nicky, thought for a minute you might be losing it." Grissom smiled backing
"Nah, I'm cool so did you tell every one hats going on?" Nick asked his smile growing as Grissom proceeded to tell about the meeting the morning and the daggers Warricks eyes threw at him.
"I figured Warrick would be ticked." nick said now almost laughing, Grissom was glad to see this it made him feel better.
" So you on the fast track to recover eh? The others will be glad to hear that. ' Grissom spoke at a normal volume instead the whisper soft voice he had been using.
"Yeah Doc says I'll right as rain in a few weeks at least." played along willing to bet that Grissom a spied some one listening through the door.
"Your sister sara is worried sick about you and so is you aunt Catherine." Grissom reported this also let nick ow who to expect in the next week.
"Promised 'Rick he'd get to see you soon guy's been a real help around the house comforting every one he's good friend, you've known what was it 13 years now?" Grissom asked looking down at nick a look passing between them.
Yeah he's a good pal, real cool in stressful situations." Nick put in tamping a smile down an clearing throat to cover a laugh that threatened to escape, Grissom smiled down at him.
"I'll be sure an tell him you said so." Grissom dead panned as the door swung open to admit Dr. Jacobs or as Nick would prefer Dr. Jackarse.
"Well I see you managed to calm him down suficeintly Mr Grissim." He slithered over to Nicks bed and looked down at him only to be met with a look that melt ice bergs. Nick tried to lunge at him only to be stopped by the restraints.
"I would suggest behaving or I will call Brian back with that sedative." The doctor told him a note of warning in his voice, nick just rolled his eyes and lay back in the bed.
"Well I should get back my wife, ' at that point started coughing to hid what sounded to Grissom like laughter.' will be worried about me." he continued giving Nicks hands squeeze he smiled.
"Give aunt Cath a hug for me and sis too." Nick smiled. Grissom had the distinct impression that Nick was enjoying this a little to much.
"I'll send your love, get better we miss you around the lace it''s not the same." and with that Grissom showed himself the door. The doctor, however, did not move an inch. Nick ignored him and laying his head back closed his eyes fully intending to go to sleep.
"well i suppose i could just let you rest.."The 'good' doctor said a hint of something dangerous to his tone. Nick felt his stomach tighten into an uncomfortable knot and opening his eyes, looked over at the doctor, his eyes betraying the fear he tried to hide.
"I think you'll be next line for my little project poor Charlie just didn't have the strength for it I'm afraid he had to go." Nick looked around as the door open and in stepped Brian and his little buddy, sedative nick yanked on the straps as Brian came over and swabbing his arm shoved the needle home nick flinched and dropped back down on the bed his senses reeling the room spun on its end.
"What the hell?" He slurred then he felt a hand on his forehead he was cold and he moved his head trying to dislodge it to no avail.
"Just relax the symptoms should be gone by the time you wake up." doctor Jackarse soothed his voice silky and nauseating. Nick didn't have chance for rebuttal as his world wet black.
Here's the next chapter hope you enjoy. Oh and to eliminate any confusion in the earlier chapters, nick wants to tell Warrick, Cath, Sara and Greg about the plan, Grissom and Brass already know they helped make the plan.
