Thanks for the EXPLOSION of reviews! Here are a few answers to your questions and comments:
Kadyann: Nick owwies! Lol very funny! Hey, I can't help it!
StarESP4Cat: One of my loyal fans! Thanks for the comments! The whole "Nick being a rock star" was my sister's idea. Angst, angst, angst! I love it! Sara protecting Nick….one of those last minute decisions.
Daisyangel: I can see how the "Which SUV was so-and-so in?" could get confusing. This is just a note for everyone: in SUV #1 were Warrick and Nick. In SUV #2, were Sara and Grissom, and in SUV #3, were Lindsay, Greg, and Catherine. So #3 plowed into #1…Get it? When you read the story, it will be much, much clearer.
Mma63: Another loyal fan! YAY! It's more interesting! I was getting a little bored myself. This story was almost down the gutter!
Mudhousejunkie224: Thanks for always reviewing! OMG OMG! Car crash! Car crash! Lol… always expect the worst when it comes to Nick.
Debarie: Ditto for you as well! Thanks for reading. I have 3 words for you: Who cares about Ecklie? Lol… I never thought about him. Gonna HAVE to bring him in! Props to you for the idea!
Sarafan101: I know I HATE reading Dun Dun Dun's but I LOVE writing them!
Thanks to everyone who read and reviewed! I appreciate it and I'm glad you guys liked it! I'm finally over the 10,000 mark for hits thanks to you guys!

Fuzzy and almost inaudible voices awoke Lindsay from her momentary slumber. She felt sleepy and lackadaisical as she looked at everything upside down. She tried to look around the car but her head struck something hard and hairy. She pushed aside and attempted to focus.

The tires were still spinning on the upside town truck. Not one window went unshattered. Not one side of the car went without a dent.
"Call an ambulance," A man on the street yelled as he ran to the cars. The high pitched yell woke Warrick from his daze. He opened his eyes and attempted to breath. The bittersweet taste of blood mixed with sweat found its way to his lips. A bead of sweat rolled off of his brow and into his eye. He lifted his left arm to wipe it away but instead felt a strong pain coming from his abdomen. What he saw shocked him to the point of tears.

Grissom's head laid on the head rest heavily. He picked his head up and an instant headache found its way to his temples and to the back of his neck. He winced as he felt wetness leak from his open lips. He quickly lapped it up and turned his head towards the driver's seat. "Where were they?" Grissom asked himself as he slowly blinked his eyes.

A moan caused Lindsay's head to jerk and the kink in her neck to pop. She took a deep breath as she looked behind her. The blood was rushing to her head and was causing her to lose consciousness. But before she passed out the sound of a man yelling caught her attention. She looked out of the upside down window and saw a small fire forming in the back of the SUV. "We've got a kid back here," A man yelled as he ran over to the car. The kind man's face stuck in Lindsay's mind up until the second she passed out.

Warrick gasped for air as a shutter was felt throughout his body. He moaned as he attempted to remove himself from the car. The movement caused Nick to shuffle in his seat. His face was red from gravity's force. He found it harder and harder to breath. He began to go into an anxiety attack as he looked around the car.
"Oh my God."
The words escaped Nick's lips as he looked at Warrick struggling to breath.

Sara's head lay on the steering wheel, the air bag placing a soft cushion between her face and the leather. Blood ran from ever orifice on her head; her ears being the worst. She coughed as she took in blood with her air. Not bothering to cover her mouth, blood splattered on the dashboard and windshield which was now dented completely in, only inches from Sara's face. She opened her eyes and saw Grissom staring at her with dilated pupils and a slight moan escaping his lips. She lifted her head from the steering wheel and attempted to open her door. It was completely dented in and from what Sara could see, her leg was trapped between the door and the dashboard. Her breathing became erratic as she looked in the rearview mirror at two upside down SUVs, identical to the one she was currently trapped in.

"Lindsay," a voice said from the front of the vehicle.
When no response was heard, the voice became more and more frantic.
"Lindsay!" The voice yelled before the sight of flashing red and blue lights could be seen.
"Greg!" Catherine yelled as she pressed on her seat belt eject button.
Again, no response was heard. What was happening, where was Lindsay in Greg?
Catherine yanked on her seat belt as she became more and more agitated.
"Miss, please sit still. We're trying to get you out of here," A calming voice wearing a yellow jumpsuit declared.
"Where's my daughter? I need my daughter!" Catherine yelled into the fireman's face.
"She's in that ambulance over there. Miss, are you feeling any pain?" The man asked before he cut the seatbelt.
"No, I just need my daughter," Catherine stated as she also began gasping for air.
"We need a mask over here," The fireman yelled out side the car.
Catherine's breathing became labored as she continued pulling on the seat belt, her oxygen source quickly depleting with each tug.
"Lind…," Was the last syllable Catherine uttered before passing out.

"Help!" Nick yelled as he banged on the passenger window. "We need help!" Nick yelled as his hands became bloody from the shards of glass.
"Sir, please stay still," A man yelled through the windshield. "We're going to come in. Please cover you eyes as we…." The man said before being cut off by Nick's urgency.
"Warrick! You need to help him! Help him!" Nick yelled as he pointed in Warrick's direction.
As soon as the words left Nick's mouth, the paramedics rushed to Warrick's side of the vehicle. His door was easy to open. As they opened the door and knelt down to take care of Warrick, a sudden wind picked up. Nobody really noticed it since the accident before them took their breath away. The sudden breeze cooled the sweat on Nick's brow as his rescuers came to save his life.

Sara was startled by the bright yellow jumpsuits the men were wearing. She shaded the sun from her eyes as the Las Vegas horizon slowly faded to oranges and pinks of various shades. Two more men greeted Grissom on the right side of the vehicle.
"What happened?" Sara asked as she grabbed onto the man's sleeve.
"You were in a car accident. Please stay clam as we attempt to free your foot," The man said in a robotic tone, not showing emotion.
"I am calm. I just need to know what happened. Where's Catherine? Where's Greg? What happened? Stop ignoring me!" Sara yelled as the man pulled her leg from the dented metal. She looked down to her ankle which was now soaked with blood with few pieces of meat dangling from the bone. She began to whimper as the pain became more and more intense. She looked into the passenger side of the vehicle and saw an empty seat. She was quickly escorted from the vehicle by two men who helped her onto the stretcher. A mask was placed to her lips as she laid down. Her eyes searched the street for a sign of life. A sign that someone beside Grissom and herself made it out alive. She felt her weight being lifted from the ground as they placed her in the ambulance. She felt the stretcher next to her and opened her brown eyes. She looked at Grissom who was now staring at her. They exchanged glances and quick grips of the hands. Sara suddenly felt the urge to doze off again and closed her eyes, the sounds of the machine humming her to sleep.

Catherine's hair blew in the breeze as two firefighters pulled her out of the wreckage. Her face was pale with a steady crimson red trail of blood flowing from her scalp. The paramedics sprouted off random numbers as she wheeled her from the wrecked car to the ambulance. Catherine slowly opened her eyes from the quick sleep. Her eyes focused on the two cars in the distance. One was upside down and the other almost cut in half on size. Her breaths became unsteady again as they strapped her down and asked her questions. But instead of answers, they received a single tear which streamed down her face and joined the small puddle of crimson blood forming on her dimple. The sight of the cars left as she was loaded into the ambulance next to a man. A man she hadn't noticed before. She began studying his face and just as she realized who it was, the monitor began to flat line.

Nick was now free from the wreckage, completely intact. He had cuts and scraps on his face and chest but nothing serious. Warrick, however, was another story.
Warrick was on the mask, which was no longer helping because of his collapsed lung. They were going to have to cut Warrick out of the car. A pole, 5 feet long and 3 inches wide stuck out of Warrick's left hand and abdomen. There was no way that Warrick was going to be able to be removed from the car without permanent damage to his vital organs. He could become a vegetable, a paraplegic, or even die if the slightest movement occurred.
He gritted his teeth as the fireman began their work. Warrick stared at the window and saw Nick being wheeled into the ambulance. He said a silent prayer for his friend and for the other people involved in the accident. Warrick could keep his eyes open no longer. The loss of blood began to shut down his organs. Warrick took one more breath.
Was this the beginning of the end?

Sorry Sarafan101!
Another cliffhanger! Sorry guys, I wrote this while doing my Current Event. If anything is unclear, send me a review and I'll clear it up. I know this is a short 1800 word one but expect the next on to be at least 3000. Thanks again for the support! Review if you can!
