Grissom, Catherine and Sara were the first on the scene. It turned out that a famous country singer and his wife had been brutally murdered in their manson about five miles out from Vegas. Both victims had been stabbed multiple times and were left by the side of the pool. They were still in their swim wear indicating that they were either on their way to the pool or had just gotten out when they were attacked.

"Wow, it's been a long time since i've seen a body this mutilated. They must have really pissed someone off." Catherine remarked

"Hmm, well their is a blood trail leading either from or into the pool. Maybe the killer threw the murder weapon in there." Grissom remarked.

Catherine walked over to the edge of the pool and knelt down on the edge, peering into the water.

"I can't see a damn thing, the waters all cloudy."

"Well someone had better go in then."

"Well seeing as you came up with the idea Griss, you can go in." Sara added.

"No that's ok, i'm the boss, one of the perks of the job is i get to chose what to do. Either you or Cath are going in unless the guys get here."

"Oh hell no, i am not going in" Cath stated.

Just at this moment Greg, Warrick and Nick arrived at the scene. At hearing the conversation they all stopped and stood near the back gate on the other side of the yard, trying to not draw attention to themselves.

"Lets wait here until one of them goes in before we let them see us." Whispered Greg.

Catherine and Sara were oblivious to the fact that the guys were there and were still arguing over who would go in while an amused Grissom stood and watched.

"Well i outrank you as well so you are going in." Cath stated walking over to stand next to Grissom.

"Fine" Sara grunted.

She walked over to the edge of the pool, pausing to take off her socks and shoes before sliding into the pool.

"She's going to kill us when she gets out." Catherine Whispered.

"I know, lets move over to that lot so she can't hit us." Grissom said pointing towards the guys.

"Oh my god, They were hiding so they didn't have to go in!"

The two walked over towards the three guys who were stood by the back gate and turned to watch Sara going under the water searching for the knife.

It seemed as if the next few minutes happened in slow motion. One minute Sara came up for some air before going back down again, the next minute the water around where Sara was turned red and she came back up screaming. The rest of the team watched in horror as she was pulled back under water for a few seconds. She then came back up and was slammed against the egde of the pool by what looked like a man wearing dark clothing and a mask over his face.

At this moment the team seemed to come to and screamed to the officers stationed at the front of the house that there was a suspect on location. Greg, Warrick and Nick sprinted towards the pool, diving in and trying to get the guy off Sara. Between Nick and Warrick they managed to get the guy off Sara and pulled him out of the pool, handing him over to the waiting officers. Greg lifted Sara and put her on the side of the pool. Catherine immediatley bent down to check her pulse.

"Someone get an ambulance she's not breathing." Catherine screamed, she then immediately started doing mouth to mouth while Grissom made the call and Nick put pressure on the stab wounds that were covering her body. Greg just stood there not able to move, terrified that she would die while Warrick went over to the suspect and punched him in the face.

It took 5 minutes for the ambulance to arrive, taking Sara to desert Palms hospital. The team handed off the original case to days while they followed the ambulance to the hospital.

The team arrived at the hospital just after Sara and were told to wait in the waiting room until a doctor came and filled them in on her state. After two hours Grissom saw one of the doctors that took Sara into surgery and went over to him asking how she was.

"She is still in surgery at the moment Sir, we will be able to tell you more when she comes out, but that won't be for another couple of hours. Please just be patient i assure you that she is in good hands."

That was the only contact with Sara that they had for another 2 hours. The team just sat in the waiting room occassionally getting up for some coffee or to stretch there legs. Finally the doctor that they had spoken to a few hours previously came over to them.

"Are you all here for Sara Sidle?"

"Yes" Grissom said speaking up for all of them

"Ok, well we have just finished the surgery. She was stabbed a total of six times. Three in her stomach and three times on her back. We have managed to stop the bleeding and stitch them up. She also has a head injury, probably from hitting the side of the pool. She has sprained her left wrist and has a cut going down her leg. We have fixed her up as good as possible but i am afraid that she is in a coma and are not sure if she will pull through-"

The team all gasped at this scared that they may still lose a good friend and colleague.

"-Im also sorry to have to say that she lost the baby, could you please contact the father?"

"B-b-baby?" Greg stuttered.

"Yes, i'd say she was about 10 or 11 weeks along. She will need to be told if or when she comes around. I have to go and see to my other patients now. You may go in and see her if you like. She is in room 12A on level 6."

Everyone turned and looked at Greg who looked like he was about to pass out.

"I can't believe this, m-my baby? She's having my baby?"

"No Greg, she WAS having your baby, she's not now." Catherine said

They all stood there for a few more seconds before Nick said "Maybe we should go see her?"
