Chapter Nine
Nick and Greg arrived at Sara's room after hearing the muffled screams of panic. There was a window in the door that Nick could see through, he saw Grissom and Sara sat on the floor Grissom behind Sara pinning her to the floor with a scaple to her throat.
"Greg get help quick!"
"Whats going on Nick?"
Nick looked at a worried Greg, he couldnt lie to him.
"Grissoms gone mad, he holding a scaple to Sara neck so please hurry!"
Without anymore thought Greg sprinted back down the corridor towards the security department, leaving Nick to try and get Sara out of there on his own. Nick started to bang on the window, screaming as he did so.
"You let go of her you son of a bitch, let go of her!"
Grissom let go of Sara, Sara lunged at Grissom while he had his back towards he, he simply whacked her accross the face, it looked so simple, so effortless.
"You basterd, if you touch her aain i swear i will KILL you!"
Grissom simply laughed at him.
"You really think i am going let her go after i have put myself through all this? My dear Nicky you are stupider than you look."
Grissom reached for Sara, who was again cradeling her battered face. Nick hadnt seen the extent of the damage Grissom had done to Sara within the time he had been in the room with her, but now he could, Nick could have been physically sick. Her face was swollen, bruised and bleeding. She looked like a women that they had dealt with a week earlier, domestic abuse, the women was so beaten she was hospitalised for several weeks. He couldnt believe what he was seeing, if Grissom said he loved her, then how could he trea Sara this way.
"You son of a bitch, look at what you have done to her, and you say that you love her!"
Nick could make out Sara mouthing something to him, this reduced him to tears. Sara was in pain, she was being abused and there was nothing that he could do to stop it, he felt useless.
Grissom noticed Sara mouthing something to Nick.
"Speak up dear I didn't hear that."
Sara turned to look at Grissom, tears in her eyes.
"You weren't meant to."
Nick had controlled his emotions, he was now calm and collected, he knew now that he had to get Sara out of there.
"Grissom, what can I give you that will mean you will let her go?"
Grissom turned to Nick, then again to Sara.
"What do you think Nick, I want Sara and I will do anything to have here, don't you understand that? Why cant anyone understand that?"
"Because Grissom, you are going about it all the wrong way!"
"Explain!"
Nick cleared his throat.
"If you want to prove to me, to Sara to everyone that knows you, that you a truly in love with Sara and would do anything for her, holding her captive and beating her black and blue, is not the way to go about it."
Grissom turned to Sara, she was cowering behind her bed. Grissom had never seen her so scared in his life and it was all his fault.
Grissom finally realized what he had done to Sara, what he had done to Nick.
"Sara, please forgive me, I never meant to hurt you the way that I have, in fact all I was trying to do was to be with you forever, but I know now that that's not what you want. Well at least not with me I put you and Nicks baby at risk and again I am sorry…Can you forgive me?"
Sara looked at Grissom, she didn't recognize this man from 5 minutes ago, this was the man that she had fallen in love with all those years ago. She knew that what he had done was wrong. She looked at Nick who was looking on anxiously.
"Of course I can forgive you Grissom."
"That's all I needed to hear."
With that Grissom took the scaple in his hand and stabbed himself in the stomach."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Nick looked on in the room, still unable to get in.
"Please Grissom not like this, please not like this."
"Sara…I…love…you."
Sara looked up at Nick, knowing what she wanted to say back to him in his dying moments.
Nick knew aswell, he knodded, giving Sara the answer she needed and wanted."
"Grissom, I love you too."
With that Grissom smiled at Sara and took his last breath, and fade out, he was gone…
