Chapter Ten

Catherine walked away, Gil and Sara stood where they were, frozen to the ground. Sara couldn't believe it, Keana was only ten, how could she even think of suicide!

"Sara?" Gil said softly. Sara snapped out of her daydream and nodded. "Let's go to your apartment, we shouldn't be here." He said. Sara nodded again.

They entered Sara's apartment and Sara sat on the couch, she still hadn't said a word.

"Are you ok?" Gil asked. Sara didn't move or say anything. Gil wrapped his arms around her, Sara rested her head on his shoulder.

Gil fell asleep about an hour later. Sara stayed wide awake, she wouldn't be able to sleep, so she didn't bother to try. She could have lied there all night in Grissom's arms. The silence was broken by someone banging at the door. Sara sat up, which woke Grissom up.

"What is it?" Gil asked quietly.

"Someone knocked at the door." Sara said. She got up, she looked through the peephole but couldn't see anything because of the dark. Sara opened the door and was tackled to the ground. She stood up and someone put their arm around her neck and held a knife to her throat. Gil stood up.

"Let her go." Gil said calmly.

"Where is she?" The guy asked.

"Who?" Gil asked, not moving from where he was standing.

"Keana, where is she?" The guys asked again.

"Who is Keana?" Gil asked.

"I know she's here, I saw her come in." The guy said.

"She's not here, she's at the hospital." Gil said.

"Why?" The guy asked.

"She tried to kill herself." Gil said, he thought it was best that he didn't mention the police.

"What hospital?" The guys asked.

"Let her go." Gil said. "And I'll tell you." He added.

"That's not the way it works, you tell me and then I let her go." The guy said.

"The mental hospital on King Street." Gil said. Sara struggled, feeling the cold metal on her neck. The guy threw Sara against the wall and ran out of the apartment. Sara fell to her knees, tears streamed down her face. Grissom closed and locked the door and picked up his cell phone. He dialed Catherine's cell number as fast as he could.

"Hello." Catherine answered.

"Cath, are you still at the hospital?" Grissom asked.

"Yes. Why?" Catherine asked.

"A man came into Sara's apartment looking for Keana. He knows she's at the hospital, we think he may be the guy who's been hurting and threatening her." Gil spoke quickly.

"We'll catch him when he gets here." Catherine said, hanging up her phone. Gil hung up too. He put away his cell phone and walked over to Sara.

"Sara? Are you ok? They're going to catch him." Grissom assured her. Sara nodded, still not saying a word. Grissom put his arm around her, she needed to calm down.

Ten minutes later, Sara finally got up and sat on the couch, Gil joined her. Grissom put his arms around her and held her close. Sara felt safe in his arms, with Gil there she felt protected. When the guy held the knife to her throat, Sara remembered all the times that her father had abused her. She remembered all of the memories again, she put her head down and started sobbing on Grissom's shoulder. The moment was lost when Grissom's phone rang.

"Grissom." He answered.

"Hi Gil, its Catherine... Keana's gone, he has her." Catherine said quickly.
