Chapter 2
Summary: A buried secret comes out about Sara and Greg.
A/N: Not the greatest but I hope you'll still read. Thank you to all the wonderful people who have reviewed.
"Sara, please answer me". Grissom said pleading.
He had called for an ambulance but they were taking so long he considered taking Sara to the hospital himself, but he knew better.
The ambulance arrived and they took Sara away immediately telling Grissom he could meet them at the hospital.
Everything happened so fast he couldn't remember if he called his team to let them know what had happened.
"Sanders"!
"Greg, its Grissom I need you to meet me at Desert Palm immediately and please tell Catherine and the rest to come as well".
"What's up Grissom I'm right in the middle of the Murphy case, you know the one you got on my ass about this morning".
"Greg, you have my permission to put it aside. Please just meet me at the hospital".
"Ok, I'll see you in a few". Greg said hanging up a bit confused.
"Hey Greg, got your page what's up". Catherine asked a little irritated.
Greg looked at her, "Grissom wants all of us at Desert Palm pronto".
"Ok, well all of us are accounted for except Sara". Warrick replied.
"We can try reaching her on the way". Catherine said putting her case files aside for the time being.
Hospital
Grissom paced the hallways waiting for news on Sara.
"Nurse, can you please tell me how Sara Sidle is"?
The nurse looked at him sadly, "Sir, your friend lost a lot of blood and right now it doesn't look very good".
Grissom looked at her, "She tried to commit suicide of course it doesn't look good. I want- - NO I need you to save her because she doesn't realize how many people love and care for her".
"Gil, what the hell happened"? Catherine asked after seeing him covered in blood.
"Sara, she- - she tried to kill herself and I found her after getting a call about loud music and no answer and so they somehow knew to call me". Grissom said rambling a bit.
"No, not Sara"! Greg screamed as he ran towards her room
"Greg, wait". Nick called out.
The nurse walked back into Sara's room.
Catherine started crying, "Oh, god why would she do something like this"?
Grissom handed Catherine the letter that he had found.
"It's addressed to Greg". Grissom responded.
"You read it"? Greg replied angry as he retreated back down the hall after Nick turned him around.
"I'm sorry Greg I didn't know it was for you until I had started reading it".
"Give it to me, NOW"!
Catherine handed him the letter, tears falling from her face.
Dearest Greg,
I'm sorry that I had to go, if I know Grissom he probably found me and got me to the hospital where they've told him that it doesn't look good.
I'm crying like a baby right now, trying to figure out why I could never tell you just how much I loved you. You were the best friend a girl could ask for. You know how many times I went home wishing that I had a girlfriend to call up and tell her about the cute lab rat I worked with? Too many too count. I hope you don't regret our 'encounter' together because I don't.
I will always cherish the time we spent together, even if we couldn't tell anyone and if I acted like I didn't care- I'm sorry because I cared about you a great deal.
Greggo, please take care of Pegasus for me because he loves you just as much as I did. Thank you for helping me get over 'HIM' and realizing there are fish in the sea that have social lives.
Please tell the others that I will miss them-even Grissom.
Love always,
Sara Sidle
"Damn you, damn you Sara"! Greg yelled angrily.
"Greg, what is going on here"? Grissom asked.
"I don't understand, everything was perfect and all of a sudden she felt like no one gave a crap about her? I need to see her, NOW"! Greg said angrily tears falling from his eyes.
"Greg, you need to tell us what the heck she meant by what she said".
"It's personal you're the last person I'd share it with".
"Well, too bad because you have to tell me".
"Says WHO"?
"Gil, Greg's right the letter was addressed to him and you read it but you have no right to the meaning of it all". Catherine replied.
"You want to know? FINE, I'll tell you". Greg said angry.
Grissom sighed, "I'm sorry Greg, I'm sorry you have to go through this".
"Whatever, just listen".
"Alright, we're listening". Catherine said taking Greg's hand gently.
"Sara and I went out on a date, it was perfect she looked so beautiful and well while I wouldn't pass up an opportunity to sleep with a beautiful woman I wasn't about to ruin my friendship with Sara". Greg sighed, "Sara's my best friend, anyways I took her to the Bellagio for dinner but since I couldn't get us a table I got a room and just paid for the night".
Catherine nodded and Grissom looked a Greg like he was going to kill him.
"Gil, stop it and just listen".
Greg eyed Grissom, "You know Grissom you wanted to know and I'll gladly stop telling you and just tell Catherine because she was more of a friend to Sara then you've ever been".
"Alright, go on I'm sorry".
"Anyways, dinner was delivered and we had some wine with dinner and then we sat and talked and found out more about each other. Well, one thing led to another and we slept together".
Grissom sighed, "Where are Warrick and Nick"?
"That's all you can say"? Catherine asked peeved.
"No, I just wanted to know where they went".
"They went to be with Sara, I asked them to sit with her". Catherine replied.
Greg smiled at Catherine squeezing her hand.
"Why didn't you just tell us about your relationship"? Grissom questioned.
"Well, I guess because we aren't or weren't in one at the time".
"You slept with her Greg".
"Grissom, it was a one time thing and to be honest I don't regret it. I love Sara and I always will. I was the one who helped her get over the 'HIM' in her letter".
"The 'HIM' would be"? Grissom questioned.
Catherine looked at him, "The 'HIM' is YOU, I mean you turned her down so many times I give Sara credit for trying as much as she did".
Grissom felt like he had finally been defeated at something and it wasn't a good feeling.
The nurse came out again and everyone joined together as she was about to tell them about Sara.
