Chapter 6: Tell me it's over

''Now tell me where your boyfriend is'' The Man demanded as he slipped his hand from Megan's mouth and onto her neck.

''I don't know''

The Man squeezed her neck and asked her again

''Where is he? ''

''I told you I don't know, I just woke up''

'' Well that makes it that much easier for me than. I'll just make it look like you never woke up at all. You know a died in your sleep thing because the only people that know that you're awake are you and I'' The Man

The Man brought his mouth close to Megan's ear.

''How scared were you back at the apartment? I can see it in your eyes now, you were terrified. Don't worry it will all be over soon. You won't be alone either, that boyfriend of yours will be joining you shortly''

''This isn't going to work. My colleagues will know that you had a part in this'' Megan told him

''I know, but I won't care. When you two are out of the way I'll be gone with no one to know where I might be and no more worries''

Keeping his hand on Megan's neck he grabbed the pillow her head lay on.

''Goodbye CSI'' He said and shoved the pillow over Megan's face and used his other arm to hold hers down. Megan fought frantically to breath and somehow get the pillow off her face, but with no luck. The Man watched in glee as Megan's efforts slowly died down and eventually stopped altogether. He removed the pillow and looked down at her. Her eyes were still open and he closed them. Her monitor wasn't reading anything and he knew that his job was done.

''What a pity'' He said looking down at her ''She actually was kinda cute''

He put the pillow back under her head and walked out of the room. He was going to go looking for Greg when he saw Greg coming down the hallway back towards the room. Greg was on crutches and was coming back from physiotherapy that was helping to get him back on his feet again.

''Do you need any help Mr. Sanders? ''

'' No thanks, I'm going to have to get used to these so…'' Greg explained

''Well I insist'' The nurse said and Greg felt something jabbed into his side. Greg looked down to see a gun pointed at his side and he knew right away who this was.

''I'm sure you do'' Greg said and swung around his other free arm with the crutch and hit The Man right over the head. The Man went down and Greg tried to get away as fast as he could, but before he knew it he was shoved hard into the wall and now had the gun pointed at his left temple.

''Neat trick'' The Man acknowledged ''Stupid, but neat. At least you put up a fight not like your girlfriend''

''What do you mean? ''

''Like I said she didn't put up a fight. She didn't try to do anything before I was through with her''

''NO! '' Greg shouted as he tried to get free, but with no luck.

The Man turned Greg around to find him crying

''Those aren't tears of fear, they're tears of pain. You really did love that girl didn't you? I know she loved you too. Her first concern after waking up was making sure that you were okay. I'm sure that her last thoughts were of you too''

''You son of a bitch. I swear you are going to pay for what you did to her''

''Now how are you going to seek revenge when you're dead? ''

''Not me, them''

The Man turned to look at what Greg was talking about and found a bunch of guns pointing at him. The rest of the CSI nightshift had arrived as well as the guards from the hospital.

''Let him go Mike'' Nick ordered

''So you finally figured it out huh. I was wondering when you would'' He removed Greg from the wall and brought him into the middle of the hall keeping Greg in front of him at all times.

''You already have one of your CSI's murders to examine, want to go for two? ''

''What do you mean already have one? '' Grissom asked

''Grissom, he says he killed Megan'' Greg said

The rest of the CSI nightshifts eyes open wide, they couldn't believe what they were hearing.

''Lets make this even more painful shall we? I know that you are all so close, like a family, now how do you react when you see one member of that family in pain? '' Mike said and punched Greg hard in the stomach right on his wound. Greg groaned loudly in pain. Blood soaked through his hospital gown his head drooping down as he fought to stay conscious beside the pain.

''I'm not going to say it again let him go'' Nick ordered

''Now what are you going to do if I don't? Please try to shoot me and you'll get him. Now I'm going to walk out of here with him. I'll let him go as soon as I'm out try to stop me and he dies just like the other one did''

''We can't just let you walk out'' Warrick told him

''Well that's your choice isn't it and I'm sorry to say that it was the wrong one'' Mike clicked his gun about to shot Greg when another shot rang out. Mike looked down at his shirt and saw blood coming from where he had been shot in the heart. He turned around to find Megan standing there with her gun pointed at him and he collapsed. Everyone ran over to Mike and Greg. Catherine checked for a pulse and Warrick pulled Greg away. Megan came beside Catherine as she went over to see Greg.

''Please, tell me it's over''

Catherine looked up at her ''It's over''

Megan nodded and put her gun down near Catherine and ran over to Greg who was nodding out into unconsciousness.

''Hey Handsome''

Greg looked up at her with the happiest smile she had ever seen on his face.

''Beautiful'' Was all he had time to say when he went unconscious

A few doctors and nurses came and put Greg on a gurney.

''It's probably nothing he's just out from the pain. We'll probably just have to change the bandages and clean the wound'' The doctor assured them as they were about to wheel off with him Megan following closely

''Not you Miss you have to get yourself checked out as well. If this man thinks he killed you I want to make sure that everything is alright'' The Doctor told Megan

Megan understood and walked back to her room with a nurse. Grissom, Catherine and Warrick went off to see Greg and Nick and Sara went to see Megan.

''I got to ask Meg, how did this guy think he killed you and than here you are? '' Sara asked

''He held the pillow over my face for about 20 seconds'' Megan started to explain '' you know very well that I can hold my breath for way longer than that. Well after that time I just stopped fighting and held my breath''

''Wouldn't your monitor here have said that your heart was still beating? ''Nick asked

''He didn't notice that I slipped that thing that they put on your finger off, no reading, I'm not breathing, he thinks I'm dead''

''Well its things like this that make you realize how short life can be'' Sara said

'' But it also makes you realize how important it is to have someone to share that life with you'' Nick said

Megan nodded and looked at the pair at stood beside her. She couldn't believe how they were smiling at each other when she noticed they were holding hands.

''Are you two? ''

The smiles that were on their faces said it all. Megan smiled happy that her uncle had finally gotten up the courage to make a move and that Sara had done the same

At that moment Greg came in on his crutches with Grissom beside him and Catherine and Warrick following behind them.

''Greg! '' Megan shot out of bed and went over to him

''Megan! '' Greg said handing the crutches over to Grissom so he could hold Megan with both arms. They drew close and kissed each other (like the kiss from titanic between Rose and Jack after she jumps off the lifeboat)

''You don't you how happy I am to see your face'' Greg told her

''Likewise''

''I love you'' He whispered

''I love you too''

Well that's chapter five, but it isn't the last chapter. I'm going to write one more just to let it all ends on a really nice note. I hope that the final won't take too long. Please review this chapter
