Thank you for all the information very interesting to read ; ) (please forgive if anything's a little of as I have only a small understanding of microbiology and posions)
Grissom strode of down the corridor looking for Sara instead someone else called out his name
"Grissom" shouted Mia sticking her head out the lab. Grissom reluctantly gave up his search and went in.
"You'll love this. The head injury had a second unidentified donor," she said showing him a printout.
"So he head butted someone," replied Grissom as Mia took the sheet back.
"Yes but no one from his family, so the fathers out for that" she finished as yet another voice called Grissom. Great Ecklie.
"I need a word with you"
Grissom unhappily followed Ecklie out the lab and to his office.
Sara came back down the corridor and seeing Ecklie decided to wait until he went so she could get the DNA results. Once she saw him leave she went in and sat on a stool while Mia waited for the results.
"So did the DNA match?" she asked as Mia retrieved a print out.
"No match" she said apologetically showing Sara the piece of paper.
"Thanks" said Sara turning to leave. A sudden wave of dizziness passed over her and she lost her balance grabbing onto the desk to balance herself she knocked off two test tubes.
"Sara" Mia quickly came round and took her arm and helped her to a stool.
"Oh sorry" Sara apologised once the world came back into focus. She went to get up to pick up the broken glass.
"No sit" Mia told her placing hands on her shoulders.
"I'm fine," insisted Sara getting up and leaving the room before Mia could speak. She bent down and began picking the glass up.
"Accident?" said Catherine walking in.
"Sort of. Is Sara ok"? She asked putting the glass in the bin.
"Why?" asked Catherine not really answering.
"Well I though she was going to pass out a minute ago. Colour drained from her like a cartoon she knocked these off then disappeared" explained Mia.
"I'll go check on her" Catherine turned and left also.
"That's fine I'll clean up," said Mia receiving a stare from a passing Greg.
Sara had bolted out the room and headed for the locker room. She sat on the bench and hung her head in her hands. Her headache was coming back and she couldn't take any more aspirin yet.
"You ok" Nick's voice woke her up
"I'm fine," she announced getting up.
"Well you can help me go through the stuff from Albert's house then"
"Ok I'll be there in a minute"
Assuming she wanted to change or something Nick smiled and headed off. Sara sat for a minute regaining her composure when she heard Cath's voice down the corridor.
"Have you seen Sara?" great she was looking for her, Sara decided to scoot out before Cath found her and started questioning so she headed out hiding by walking in line with Hodges as he passed and then disappearing down the corridor by the morgue and towards the warehouse.
Sara went into the warehouse where Nick had already begun searching through the ten boxes they had retrieved.
Sara was stood dusting for prints when Cath came in and started talking to Nick. She had been dusting the same piece for nearly five minutes. Her stomach had a horrible nauseous feeling in the bottom of it and was causing her pain.
"Sara are you ok?" asked Catherine coming round "only Mia said some thing about going dizzy" Catherine knew not to push Sara or she would just close up. Sara was about to protest when a wave of nausea passed over her. She clutched with one hand at her stomach.
"Actually I don't feel that well," she admitted steadying her self with one hand.
"Sara" both Catherine and Nick were surprised by her actually admitting this and quickly came to her side. They lead her over to a seat.
"You've felt pretty crappy all day" said Cath smiling at her.
"Yer" she mumbled still clutching at her stomach.
"Why didn't you tell us?" asked Nick, Sara didn't have an answer for this. Catherine put a hand to her forehead, despite the fact her and Sara argued she could tell Sara was in real pain and wasn't about to go off and leave her.
"Your burning up" she exclaimed turning her hand so her palm was against her check.
"Nick go wet some paper towels" Sara lent back in the chair arms wrapped around her stomach.
"I'm going to be sick" Sara managed to get out all at once while pushing past Cath and knocking Nick out the way of the sink before being sick.
"Ok" Catherine came over and pulled her hair back while gentle rubbing her back. Another wave of dizziness mixed with nausea washed over Sara and her knees buckled. If it weren't for Cath supporting her she would have fallen to the floor.
"Nick bring that bucket," said Cath pointing with her free hand. Catherine led Sara back to the seat.
"Urgh" Sara shoved a hand to her mouth as she felt the need to retch again.
"Here" Cath grabbed the bucket of Nick and placed it in front just in time. Nick hated this; he wasn't very good with sick people especially sick friends. Sara began retching again.
"Nick go get Doc Robbins's"
Nick nodded and quickly left the room. He sprinted down the corridor and burst into the morgue surprising David and causing him to drop his stuff.
"Nick I assume you want something bursting in here" said the Doc putting down the scalpel he was using.
"Sara's sick, really sick," he said quickly.
"Right" the Doc managed a fast pace keeping up with Nick. When they re-entered the room Sara was lent against Catherine as if all the strength from her body was gone. Catherine had the look of a rabbit caught in the headlights on her face.
"Sara" Al bent down next to her, he noticed her hands were shaking; beads of sweet were running down her fore head.
The Doc placed a hand against her forehead and immediately withdrew it. He looked at her back as she lent over and vomited again. Pulling her top up he noticed there was a small bruise like mark.
"Nick pass me something glass quick" Robbins had a sense of urgency in his voice that Nick had never heard before.
"It's ok Sara" Catherine reassured her rubbing her arm as she sat next to her. Robbins placed the glass against her skin only the mark didn't disappear he pulled up her top at the back slightly more revealing more marks.
"Nick call a ambulance now tell them it's suspected meningitis," barked Robbins getting up and wetting several tissues.
"It hurts," moaned Sara almost breaking Catherine's heart. She felt awful for shouting at Sara earlier because she wasn't going fast enough. She knew something was off but didn't bother asking. The Doc came back and pressed the wet tissues against the back of Sara's neck. All of a sudden Cath felt Sara's muscles tighten as she sat up like she had been shot. Then she fell ridged of the seat and began convulsing on the floor. Nick was talking frantically to the operator on the phone while watching the scene play out.
"Take your coat off," demanded Robbin's grabbing it from Catherine and placing it under Sara's head.
"Hold her arms crossed" he shouted at Catherine who was on autopilot. Her brain was in a complete panic yet she managed to cross Sara's arms and hold them against her shoulders as she shuck violently against her. Al made sure her head wasn't hitting anything and that she didn't swallow her tongue as they died down.
"SARA" he called loudly as the seizures stopped. Sara was in a barley conscious state as the ambulance arrived.
"I'm going with her," said Catherine as she was moved out the way while EMT's worked on Sara inserting IV's.
"Me two" Nick leapt up as Catherine took Sara's hand.
"It's ok," reassured Cath as an oxygen mask was placed on Sara's face.
"Tell Grissom and the others" Shouted Catherine as the doors shut behind her and Nick.
Grissom and Warrick were in the lab talking to Mia. Greg was talking to Brass when the doc spotted them walking down the corridor.
"I need to speak to you follow me" he said walking by them both and into the lab.
"Gil" he said making his presence known.
"Yes"-replied Grissom turning round.
"Sara's being taking to hospital, I believe she has some form of meningitis, Cath and Nick have gone with her" he whole lab fell silent. Hodges suddenly shouted as he had held his flash paper to long and it had gone up. Grissom just stood his brain had frozen then suddenly his mind started racing with questions.
"Desert palms?" asked Grissom
"Yes" and with that Warrick, Grissom and Greg were gone.
Sara was ill really ill and he hadn't done anything. Now it was really too late. No it wasn't not yet he could still tell her he could try.
