"Grissom, Sara" Catherine was shouting herself hoarse at the entrance where they had been running to when they saw Grissom disappear down the next thing they had heard was him shouting Sara's name then a bang and now nothing.
As the dirt cloud cleared Grissom was laid flat on the floor of the tunnel above Sara dirt and mud causing him to be angled downwards into the pit that had opened up in front of him. But the main cause of him slipping forwards was the weight clinging onto his arm. As the ground gave way Sara had been freed form the dirt that encased her legs and was now hanging above what looked to be a twenty-foot drop.
"Sara I need to pull you up this is giving way" shouted Grissom
"You can't" replied Sara her voice barley there.
"What the hells going on?" shouted Nick frustrated as Warrick got harnessed up.
"I'm going to find out" he replied handing one end of the rope to Greg who wrapped it around a metal pole and got ready to relay Warrick.
"Be careful," instructed Catherine as they saw Brass and several officers approaching them. Warrick made his way into the tunnel in front of him he could just make out a blurred figure in the distance from where he was they looked laid possibly unconscious.
"Cath get a ambulance," shouted Warrick through the opening as he made his way towards them.
"Sara don't' you dare let go" shouted Grissom grabbing her with his other hand trying to get a better grip.
"But"
"No buts don't' let go. I'm not letting you go," he shouted wedging himself against the side with his legs.
"Sara can you get your legs onto the side maybe climb?" asked Grissom as he slipped further towards the edge so his shoulder stuck out over the drop.
Sara reached her legs towards the side causing her to swing and drop slightly from his grip with the second swing she hit the side clambering with her feet at the soil that was falling away.
"After three pull yourself up ok" said Grissom as Sara managed to get one foot stuck to the side.
"Owe, two three."
With all his strength Grissom pushed himself backwards with his elbows. Sara scrambled with her legs at the side as she was lifted pulling her arms painfully at there sockets. The movement had been too much for the old beams and they gave way again this time on top and the supporting sides.
There was a loud crash and a cloud of dirt appeared just right of where Cath Nick and Greg were standing suddenly tension pulled Greg and he had to lean back to prevent the rope pulling him forwards.
"Oh god" Cath and Nick ran towards the cloud as the ground gave way where the cloud had come form. There in a small muddy hole was Warrick lent back against the wall the rope he had been attached to now hooked onto Grissom's belt. In a muddy state on the edge of the collapsing tunnel was Grissom his strong arms wrapped around Sara's body his lips pressed against hers.
"Medic's" shouted Catherine to where the officer sand bras had stopped just short of them. With a little encouragement Grissom released his grip on Sara.
A Medic rushed to Sara's side. Tears were running down her face and she still had one hand gripped onto Grissom's shirt her body seemed unwilling to let go. Pain shot through her as one medic took her raw hands.
"Are you coming with us?" one man asked Grissom as they lifted Sara onto a gurney and covered her with a blanket.
Grissom nodded words having failed him.
"Were going to desert palms if you want to follow" the other medic told Brass who seemed to be the most composed of the group. Catherine had tears running down her face in relief with Warrick's hand placed comfortingly on her shoulder. Greg was gripping onto the rope in his hands unable to let go. While Nick was stood realising what it felt like to be on the other side to watch as your friend was taken away.
"Come on I'll drive" Brass had to practically load everyone into his Tahoe
At the hospital Sara had a couple of stitches put in her forehead and her hands and feet were dressed and wrapped in bandages that seemed to glow white compared to the muddy and ripped clothes she was in. After a lot of argument Sara finally put a gown on. Grissom had been whisked away as a doctor wanted to check him over but he was now allowed into Sara's room. She was sat on the bed her pale skin matching the crisp with bandages on both hands and feet. Although it wasn't hot Sara hadn't put the sheets over her not wanting anything restricting her. She had an IV with fluids going into her right arm.
"How are you doing?" asked Grissom standing awkwardly in the doorway.
"Ok, thanks for finding me," said Sara not too sure what to do as Grissom walked over and sat on one the end of the bed.
There was a moment's silence each just looking at the other not knowing what to do or say until Sara broke the silence
"It's ok" she started looking at him "emotions running high and everything, I understand I wont say anything else about it ok" Sara offered trying to get some sort of reaction out of Grissom who had taken to staring at the floor.
"I don't' want to forget it" he said looking directly into her eyes. "That was one of the best things I've ever done, I don't ever want to forget it……..I want to do it again" he finished leaning in and placing his lips on hers.
"Which room did they say?" asked Greg wrestling with a bunch of flowers they had hastily brought for the gift shop in the hospital entrance.
"This one" Brass froze in the door way
"What?" asked Nick as everyone pushed to look in the small window on the door.
"Oh that's not right," moaned Greg "it should be me" he joked getting hit by Cath
"Come on" she pushed Warrick away from the door
"Hey I thought you wanted to see Sara" he protested
"They've waited six years to do that, I think we can wait five minutes," replied Cath. Greg placed the flowers in the door handle and left with the rest to go get some coffee and come back later. As he went Brass took one more peek through the door. There sat in he bed Grissom and Sara's arms entwined around each other kissing.
