The intensive care unit was like what your saw on movies. Everything looked like it had been sterilised and each room was separate.

"Excuse me were looking for Sara Sidle" Catherine told a passing nurse.

"Yes, I'm actually her nurse follow me" she lead them towards the end of the corridor stopping before a room with the blinds pulled.

"Now before we go in I should tell you what to expect. We've had to intubate Sara because she was having seizures which was causing her throat to constrict but she is still able to breath by herself it is merely a precaution. She also had lots of monitors on her now do not be alarmed by them I will explain each one and finally she had a number of drips. Some are antibiosis and others are just fluids. You ready" she finished. Grissom was not sure he would ever be ready his feet seemed frozen to the spot but with a gentle push from Cath he managed to follow the nurse in.

No matter what he was told nothing could prepare him for this. Sara was laid with more wires and tubes going into her than he could see bare skin. Nick found it hard to look at her and so focussed his attention on what the nurse was saying.

"I'll just go fetch a fresh drip an then I'll come in and explain these machines," she said while punching something into a drip. Tears were falling faster down Cath's checks as she sat on one of the two chairs next to the bed. Grissom reluctantly sat down next to a machine that was constantly beeping making him nervous. Nick was now forced to study Sara. Her right arm lay above the bed sheet showing where two drips joined and went into her arm. There were wires going under the bed sheets he assumed monitoring her heart beat. The most disturbing of all the machinery around her was the ventilator. A tube was going into her mouth and ties with a piece of white material just above her lips and to the machine behind her. Her lips were pale and blended in with her face; marks were visible over most of her body making it look like she had measles.

BEEP Nick shot back into the wall as the machine next to Grissom began beeping angrily. Catherine grabbed onto the bottom of her seat so hard her knuckles turned white. While Grissom froze and stopped breathing.

A nurse ran into the room and looked at the machine she then lifted the sheet and did something to Sara.

"It's ok, wire fell off" she smiled as Grissom released his breath and Cath the death grip on the chair.

"That monitors her heart beat," she said pointing the machine that had been beeping. "That monitors her blood so that we know how effective the antibiotics are," she said while attaching another drip this time into Sara's left arm.

"You can stay for as long as you want there are no visiting restrictions for here" she smiled leaving.

Grissom lent forwards and gently took Sara's arm been careful not to displace the many tubes going in. He just squeezed it gently not knowing what to say.

"Were going to get who did this to you and your going to get better Sara" said Catherine leaning over. "Now this is not a negotiation ok that's the deal," she said tears now streaming down her face.

"Your going to be ok you know not to break a deal with Cath," said Nick as Cath stood up.

"We'll leave you alone for a while, we'll be back later" Cath told Grissom as she left. Once out side Nick embraced her allowing himself to cry as she sobbed into his shoulder.

"I shouted at her," she sobbed as a few tears escaped down Nick's face. "I took it out on her"

"What?" asked Nick looking for a tissue for her.

"Last night I went out got talking to this man. He was just winding me up he called me a old slag" she said wiping at her face so hard her eye's and cheeks burned red.

"I was angry and I took I tout on her. That's why she shouted at me and I just shouted back"

"Cath this is not your fault ok"

"I should have noticed. I did notice I just didn't care"

"You did when it came to it you were there for her and so what you two shout all the time always have argued it's just sometimes things get out of hand. Once she wakes up you can explain" he finished putting an arm round her and walking her away

The whole lab was staring at Warrick as he walked back in carrying the bag containing Sara's clothes.

"Warrick" Hodges held his hand out as he stopped in the door. "No other cases" he stated simply taking the bag from him and getting on with his job.

"Ecklie?" asked Warrick looking around for there leader to appear and start lecturing.

"No" stated Hodges carrying on.

"Us" announced Jackie walking in holding several bags. "Food from the lab fridge. Greg's dusting it I'll run the prints" she said. Warrick was amazed as he stood watching.

"Thanks" he said simply not knowing what to say.

"Anything you need this is our case," said Archie turning around "Sara's our friend to"

"Well not Hodges" smiled Jackie a she glared at her.

"I liked her. She was less annoying than all of you tells it straight" said Hodges continuing to process "are you going to do that blood work or what?" he asked as Warrick suddenly remembered what he was supposed to be doing so he nodded and left.

Greg was sat lifting prints from the break room fridge and the surrounding area he had also done Sara's locker and the surrounding area.

"Jackie I got forty-five prints," he said dropping them next to her.

"Well start by running them through the police one's that should take less time judging by the fact that's whose they should be"

"Hey I got the food from Sara's. Man she has some weird taste" he announced holding up some bags "and she's got ice cream stashed," he added dropping it next to Hodges and starting to process it.

"Hey Brass has been in our fridge" called Greg as his sheet appeared on the computer after identifying his print.

"So far it's all police no one who shouldn't have been in there"

"How do we know it's someone who shouldn't have been in there?" asked Greg causing everyone to look round suspiciously.

"We don't" replied Warrick.
