Chapter Five:
"He knows I'm here... he's coming... he's coming to find me." Keana stuttered. Sara looked at the little girl quickly. Keana was crying, her hands were shaking and she was staring at the door.
"It's ok, he can't find you." Sara said.
"He already knows where I am." Keana said, more tears rolled down her cheeks. "He's going to hurt me before he kills me."
Sara pushed Keana's dark brown hair away from her eyes.
"Keana..." Sara paused. "How do you know this?" Keana's deep innocent eyes stared at her.
"He told me." Keana said. Sara looked down at Keana's emotion-less face.
"How did he tell you?" Sara asked, she was worried.
"He's here." Keana said.
"No, he's not." Sara said, trying to calm her down. "Stay here, ok?" Keana nodded. Sara picked up the phone and dialed Grissom's cell number.
"Grissom." He answered.
"It's Sara, where did you go?" Sara asked, her tone told Grissom that she was worried about something.
"I went to my house to change and have a shower." Grissom answered. "Why? What's wrong?" Sara took a deep breath before answering.
"It's Keana, she's... she said that he is talking to her. She won't calm down." Sara said quickly.
"Sara, you need to calm down. I'm on my way over." Grissom said worriedly.
"Grissom, that's not all." Sara said, Grissom heart stopped.
"What else?" Grissom asked, scared at what the answer might be.
"Keana said that he was going to... he was going to hurt her before he killed her." Sara said. Grissom thought quickly.
"See if he's said anything else to her, I'll be there in five minutes." Grissom said. Sara hung up the phone, and walked over to comfort Keana.
"Everything's going to be alright." Sara said to Keana, but she also said it to herself.
---
Grissom was at her apartment in less that five minutes, Sara tried everything to calm Keana down.
"Sorry, it's just... I didn't know what else to do." Sara apologized.
"You don't have to apologize." Grissom said. "I'm glad to help." Sara let him in. Keana was sitting on the couch, still shaking. Fresh tears fell down her cheeks.
"Keana." Grissom said, Keana jumped up from the couch and ran to hug Grissom.
"He's coming... he's coming to kill me." Keana said.
"You're safe, he won't find you." Grissom said.
"He already knows where I am." Keana said. Sara paced back and forth, she was still worried. "He's coming closer." Keana said, she was in a gaze, listening to the person who was coming after her, even though he wasn't there.
"Where is he? Keana?" Grissom asked. Keana stared at Gil, her blue eyes were more scared than ever.
"He's outside the door." Keana whispered. Grissom looked at Sara, who was two steps away from the door. She hesitated, then looked out through the peephole.
Nothing.
Sara took a deep breath, turned back to Grissom and shook her head. She started to walk away from the door, when someone banged on it. Keana and Sara both screamed. Grissom got up and looked through the peephole cautiously.
"It's just Catherine." Grissom said. Sara relaxed, Keana was still tense. Grissom opened the door and let the redhead in.
"I heard screaming." Catherine said, walking into the apartment.
"You... scared us, that's all." Grissom said quickly. Catherine sat down on the couch with Keana. Catherine looked at the little girl, Keana's cheeks were wet with tears, and her eyes were red and scared. Keana stared at Catherine, it didn't matter that Keana knew her, she was still scared.
"He's going to hurt me before he kills me." Keana said, more tears fell down her cheeks.
"We won't let anything happen to you, Keana." Sara said, trying to make the girl calm down.
"You can't stop him, he'll just kill you too." Keana said.
"Sara. Grissom. Can I talk to you two in the kitchen?" Catherine asked, already walking towards the kitchen. Sara and Grissom joined her.
"What is it, Catherine?" Grissom asked.
"We looked into Keana's family records." Catherine paused.
"And?" Sara asked.
"Her father died when she was six." Catherine said. Sara looked at Grissom, she couldn't believe what Catherine had just said.
