Chapter Three - Part One

Grissom was in his office, computer on, lights off, however his mind was off the case. He stared blankly at the desk lost in thought. He felt his heart breaking as he replayed watching Nick kiss Sara. She loved her, so much it hurt thinking about her now. He loved the way she smiles, the way she speaks, dresses, smells… Had he really lost her? Had he really lost his opportunity? He placed his cool hand on his cheek and rubbed it as if trying to rub away his thoughts. He glanced back at the computer screen, which read "Photo Upload 60 Complete." He tapped the screen hoping it would hurry up, and to his surprise it shot up 10. He fiddled with his fingers until it was completed.

He opened each picture file, one of the Vics shirt, one of Sara's, one of Nick's. He enlarged the Vics and the one of Nick's; they didn't match not even close. In Nick's picture the sparkles landed on his shoulder and very few on his chest. The one of the Vic's was directly on the chest and the chest only. He enlarged the picture of Sara's and compared it to the Vic's. Perfect match. Grissom smiled.

He looked through the other pictures he took and found one, he felt his heart break all over again, he opened it reluctantly. In the picture Nick leaned over Sara their eyes locked, faces inches apart… Grissom immediately pressed delete, he shut his eyes and felt himself nod off.

There was a loud knock on his office door, it seemed to echo through his head, "Come in." He said warily. The door opened and he opened his eyes to see Sara standing there looking unsure what to say.

"Grissom…" She said slowly, "I—I'm sorry about earlier, I'm worried for Nick, and I guess I was just confused. I turned to him because he was there… I'm so sorry." Tears were streaming down her face, "It must have hurt so badly when you saw us… like it hurt when I saw you and Sofia together…" Her eyes drifted towards the ground as she remembered them together in his office. Grissom walked out from behind his desk, he stepped closer to her and took her hand.

"Its okay, I understand." He said in a gentle tone, "I shouldn't have been jealous the way I was. There was nothing but friendship between me and Sofia trust me." Sara just leaned into him hugging him tightly, Grissom unsure of what to do, wrapped his arms around her comforting.

Seemed to stop my breath
My head on your chest
Waiting to cave in
From the bottom of my...
Hear your voice again
Could we dim the sun
And wonder where we've been
Maybe you and me
So kiss me like you did
My heart stopped beating
Such a softer sin

They stood there a few moments hugging she pulled apart slightly, and stared into his eyes. He felt his heart melt.

(I'm melting, I'm melting)
In your eyes
I lost my place
Could stay a while

And I'm melting
In your eyes
Like my first time
That I caught fire
Just stay with me
Lay with me
Now

He wanted so badly to kiss her, but he couldn't bring himself to it. Sara saw the frustration in his eyes and pulled away, "That's the thing Grissom, I was right I can't wait for you forever. You keep pushing me away. You've lost your chance. You've lost me." He watched her turn quickly and exit the room leaving Grissom standing there, he felt a tear of his own trail down his face. Her words echoed in his head. You've lost me.


Someone tapped Grissom's shoulder but he ignored it, someone pushed him harder and he opened his eyes, sunlight stung his eyes and he blinked. He'd fallen asleep; it was just a dream… just a dream. Or was it? He looked up to see strawberry blonde Catherine standing over him with a worried look. "Grissom." She said panic in her voice.

"What's wrong?" He said rubbing his eyes trying to wake up Catherine just looked at him, "What's wrong?" he repeated.

"Gil—"She started, "Gil its Sara."

Grissom felt fully awake now, you've lost me.

A/N It was really a dream.

Chapter Three- Part Two

Grissom sat up in his hair looking anxious, "What about Sara what happened?" He said almost shouting in panic. Catherine looked at Gil for a few moments then spoke.

"Nick called me he said that Sara was supposed to call him when she got home, but she never called. I told him it was probably nothing and she fell asleep but he insisted I should go over there and check it out. I said that it could probably hold off for a little bit, but he said he tried to call several times and she didn't pick up." She paused, "I decided to trust Nick's instincts to I went over to Sara's apartment, knocked on the door a few times and she didn't answer. So I was about to leave when I noticed her car in the parking lot, I walked over to it and stepped in something. When I looked down I saw blood, and a syringe… Grissom I don't know what happened, she wasn't there she's just… just gone."

Grissom just stared at her in shock for several seconds, "You called the police?" He said business like, Catherine nodded, "And Then we should go investigate." Grissom said getting up hurriedly.

"Grissom, I know I'm not your supervisor but I don't think you should." Catherine said concerned, "I don't think I can do this myself but…"

"But you are anyway aren't you? So, so will I." He said cutting her off, "Did you tell Nick?"

She nodded, "Yes he's already over there, he seemed so, scared. Gil I'm thinking this is Nigel's doing, he probably thought they were—"

"He didn't think, he knew. He knew Nick and Sara were seeing each other." Grissom said he avoided Catherine's eyes.

"Oh Gil…" She said, "I'm so sorry, I know you—"

"Let's go." He said cutting her off again. Sigh sighed and followed him through the hallway. As they were about to step out the door the secretary stopped them.

"Mr. Grissom, I believe this is for you." She handed him a package. Grissom just looked at it; it read 'The Evidence Doesn't Lie.' He looked at the door then back at the package. He turned around quickly, and jogged back to his office where he swung the door back open and sat at his desk. He practically ripped open the package. Soon in his hand he held a black tape.

Catherine stood leaning against the door, "Well stop staring at it already and play the tape." Grissom just looked at her annoyed, he furrowed his brows. Getting up he walked across the room to a small TV, he placed the tape it.

The TV turned on and he pressed play. A picture of Sara and Nick on the couch in the break room popped up. Nick was holding Sara's hand as she talked, but Grissom nor Catherine could make out what she was saying. Before Grissom knew it Sara had leaned over and kissed Nick, he watched the scene, anger in his eyes. He watched Nick take off her shirt and toss it on the ground, he watched everything. Catherine looked from the TV to Grissom, "Griss—" She said, but the image on the TV changed, Sara was laying on a bed peacefully, her shirt was off and they could barely make out a bandage on the side of her stomach. A voice in the background became clearer, "See, Grissom the evidence doesn't lie." And the tape went off.

Grissom had sent the tape to the video and audio lab, hopping Archie could find anything to tell them where she was. Catherine and Grissom went to the scene to gather evidence, but besides the syringe and blood there was nothing.

Catherine was pacing the lab hoping something quickly, she couldn't deal with this, and the blood on the ground was Sara's. Sara's blood. It hit Catherine harder then ever, seeing it just laying there in a puddle. She'd seen this stuff almost every day, but she never made it personal, but this was Sara. It made her sick. "Catherine?" Warrick said Catherine looked up; she didn't even realize he was there, or for that matter talking to her, "Catherine, are you okay?" Catherine avoided the question, obviously she was not okay.

"Yeah," She said, "What do yah got?"

"The syringe found, it contained Pentothal, it's used in lethal injection as a way to put person to sleep. It can be lethal but this syringe isn't big enough for a lethal dose. But that doesn't explain the blood."

"I can explain that, video we sent to the A/V lab, showed Sara, lying on a bed bandaged up, it looked as if she was stabbed." Catherine said, she stopped and realized they could be too late, was Sara already dead?

Warrick put an arm on her shoulder, and looked into her eyes, she stared back suddenly realizes how strange a color they were, green, or blue? She wasn't sure. "Catherine," He said gently, "We'll find her, I promise." Catherine just looked away and nodded.

Stars twinkled above Sara; it was almost as if they were laughing at her. Sara stood on her toes and reached her arms up as if to grab a star, but she tripped forward; someone caught her by the arm. She looked up to see Grissom holding her, "For once you have fallen low. Let us see in the future how high you can rise." Sara smiled, "Shakespeare?" she questioned him.

"Not even close," He returned the smile, "Sherlock Holmes. Hold on Sara, don't fall any lower, keep your eyes opened." She looked at him puzzled and he let go of her arm, she again fell forward, falling, and falling. She remembered what Grissom said, Keep your eyes open. She smiled, and her eyes flickered open. Her smile vanished as she realized she was laying on a bed, and the pain in her side grew stronger. Where was she?

A/N Okay not my best, but the next chapters going to be better promise, again its already done I'm just keeping you in suspence.

Teaser: "Torture?" He questioned, "It's a possibility. I was thinking of killing you, cutting you up and displaying you in public. How would you like that sound Sara Sidle? Wouldn't you like being a human display? People would take pictures of you as they passed by. Oh and Grissom, I bet he wouldn't even care, not after you yelled at him like that." His words stung Sara, she closed her eyes feeling them water up.
