Pieces
Chapter 1
She pulled into his driveway. A smile played on her lips as she turned the ignition off. She had been waiting for this day for a LONG time. He finally would take a day off, as would she, and they would spend it together. She pushed open her car door and hopped out.
A cold breeze hit her then and she shivered. It was unusually cold for Las Vegas at this time of year. The young female shut the car door and pulled her arms around her, wrapping them tightly around herself. Thoughts of her and Grissom together alone for the day came back to mind then, her joy returned as she sauntered across the driveway and to the front door.
She pulled her hand away from her and knocked on the door. The door creaked open ever so slightly as she hit it with her fist. She knocked only once then pulled her hand away curiously as the door was already open.
Grissom always locks his doors.
A concerned feeling rushed over her ever so slightly, as she placed her hand on the door again, open this time, and pushed it open slowly. No lights were on within the facinity. Her instincts pushed herself forward from there, she slowly stepped into the darkened house that belonged to her boss.
Breathe caught in her throat as her glaze went downward to a particular spot of the carpet. It was tainted blood red. The sudden realization of the liquid on the cream color carpet knocked the breathe out of her. The stain was relatively large, it was kind of like who ever the one bleeding had fallen. She then saw the driplets of blood leading into the house further, starting from the larger spot.
"Grissom?" She croaked, was he there, was he hurt? What was going on?
She pulled out her cell phone, and dialed his cell phone. She jumped slightly at the noise of Grissoms' cell going off somewhere in the house. Sara edged into the house carefully, sticking to the walls slightly, to leave as less of a trace as she could. She had to find the source of the ringing, that would lead her to Gil. He never took off his cell phone, or at least he kept it within eye sight at all times.
Sara approached the bedroom, where the ringing seemed to have originated. She looked into it and for the second time today she had lost her breathe. There was a lateral spray of blood spread on the white wall. Her eyes trailed downwards, expecting to see a body.
She found no body, just a hand. It seemed to have something clutched between its' dead fingers. It was the source of the ringing. It was his cell phone. Grissoms' cell was in this severed hands' fingers. The first thing that came to Saras' mind made her gag, turning away and running out of the house quickly.
As she got outside she fell to her knees, clutching her own cell phone in her hand as the other covered her mouth. Tears ran down her face, at the very thought of that was Gils' hand.
