Chapter Six

Sara and Grissom stared. Dr Mathers had been working on Nick for 20 minutes now, and still there was no news.

"Sara please we need to talk!"

Sara didn't even look at Grissom, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Not now Grissom, anyway I have nothing more to say to you, I thought I had made that clear."

Sara turned her head to face Grissom looked at him coldly, then looked back at Dr Mathers and Nick.

Grissom looked down at his feet.

"Well I had better call the gang, let them know what has happened and get them here pronto."

"You do that."

Grissom looked at Sara.

"I am so sorry Sara I never meant to hurt you."

"Well you have. Please just go."

Grissom turned on his heels and walked away from Sara. Sara was standing in the corridor outside of Nicks room, she could see them trying to resuscitate him. She was counting the number of times Dr Mathers had to use the paddles and each time she saw how they failed. Sara had her eyes fixed on his heart monitor. Dr Mathers turned to Sara, and then looked at the floor. Sara's eyes were welling up again. Dr Mathers walked out of Nicks room leaving his team working on Nick.

"Miss Sidle, Nick isn't responding to our attempts to resuscitate him, we have to let him go."

Sara looked deep into Dr Mathers eyes.

"Please… please don't give up on him, he is a fighter please just keep going."

Sara was pleading with Dr Mathers, she knew that she couldn't let him go. She loved too much for that.

Dr Mathers saw the fear in Sara's eyes.

"Ok Miss Sidle we will carry on in our attempts."

Dr Mathers walked back into Nicks hospital room and carried on.

Sara could see the frustration on Dr Mathers face. It was obvious to her that he wanted Nick to stay with them as much as she did.

Sara lifted her tear stained face to the hospital ceiling. She was silent, but she felt like her thoughts could be heard by the world.

"Please Nick don't leave us, we need you now more than ever."

Sara heard a familiar sound. She looked down to see Nicks heart monitor showing Nicks pulse had returned, stronger than before. Sara started to cry out of sheer relief.

Nick was back.

Sara could see Dr Mathers smiling, he turned to face Sara he smiled at her again, he started to make his way out of Nicks room when he saw Sara collapse.

Sara felt her face go blank, she lost the feeling in her legs and they gave way she felt her head hit the floor. Dr Mathers rushed towards her. Her heart was pounding.

"GET ME A GURNEY!"
