Chapter Four

Outside Greg was on his way back to his SUV. With his jacket and shades, now back in his possession after leaving them behind while scanning the perimeter of the crime scene earlier that day.

The silence was eerie; he hated it, so he began singing to himself to break the silence.

As soon as he turned the corner of the building her saw another SUV parked behind his. "Great. I bet Grissom decided to come back after all." He sighed out loud, angry at making himself look like an idiot in front of Grissom.

He was drawn out of the quietness when heard a gun shot coming from inside the warehouse. He immediately crouched to the ground and drew his gun. Reaching for his cell phone he called dispatch for backup. They informed him he had to remain where he was and that under any circumstances not to enter the building, and that backup would be at his location as soon as possible.

He stood and slowly started to approach the other SUV, two more shot's rang out in the silence.

This time he took cover behind the other SUV. He suddenly noticed "Hey, this isn't Grissom's car". Peering in through the passenger side window, he felt as though the wind had been knocked out of him, as he now realized who the SUV belonged to. With his eyes glued to the photo on the ID tag lying on the dashboard, the feeling of dread and panic overwhelmed him. Raising a shaky hand, he laid it against the window, as though he was trying to connect with her. 'I can't wait around out here, I heard the shots. I can't sit here and wait for back up'

He braced himself as he entered the building, 'I've got to do this; I have to do this' with his gun drawn, he shouted "Las Vegas Police Department" he paused, 'why can't I stop shaking.' He passed through the reception area, all clear.

As he passed through to the adjacent room, he notices Sara, lying on the floor surrounded by blood.

Nothing could have ever prepared him for what he saw. The woman who he loves like a sister, lying there covered in blood. Nothing he has ever seen comes close to affecting him as this did. He couldn't move, his legs just refused to move, then all of sudden he lunged forward, spilling the contents of his stomach on the floor. No sooner had his vomit hit the floor he cried "Oh my god SARA!" As he rushed to her side.

Instantly he checked for her pulse, having found it, and releasing the breathe he didn't even know he was holding, he reached for his cell, and dialed dispatch.

Before the operator even opened her mouth, Greg began shouting down the phone "Officer down, I repeat officer down. Need ambulance to my location immediately. This is CSI Saunders; I repeat need medical assistance immediately. She has sustained at least two gunshots, lost a lot of blood. Sara, you need to stay with me." Then he ended the call so he could try and put pressure on the wounds.

As he folded his jacket and laid it over her wounds, and applied pressure; suddenly she opened her eyes, making Greg jump out of his skin. "Sara, it's okay. The ambulance is on its way. I just need you to stay with me"

"Greg" She managed to say, struggling to breathe. She tried to continue, "Gil's mom, I'm so sorry" a tear began falling down her cheek.

Greg reached out his hand and wiped it away with his thumb "Hey, your going to be fine. You're going to be fine" He kept repeating over and over.

"So…cold." She tiredly replied, closing her eyes.

"Stay with me Sara. You can't go to sleep. Please stay with me" Greg was crying now, he didn't know what to do. 'Oh god, do not die on me. Do not die on me Sara'. While in the distance he could just make out the sound of the sirens of the ambulance.

Gil froze, was that Greg? What just happened? Shooting, at their scene? Two gunshots? Did he just say Sara?' He turned towards Sofia, who was still chatting on the phone. "Oh no. Greg…" then it hit him like a bullet. "Sara!"

Sofia turned to Grissom "Gil we'll check when we get back to the lab, I'm sure it's not Sara. Probably Greg messing about" Sofia replied, before continuing with her conversation on the phone.

Just then, his cell phoned started ringing, grabbing it from his belt he answered "Grissom" followed by silence. "Hello. I can't hear you" he shouted into the phone.

"Griss..." Was all Greg could get out, nearly choking on his own tears.

"Greg? Is that you?" Gil paused still in shock.

"She's bad. Griss. I...I don't know what to do? Oh my god there's so much blood" Greg replied, the panic evident in his voice.

Gil felt an ache in his heart. "Greg, you have to apply pressure to stop the bleeding." more silence.

"I'm trying, but it just isn't helping" Greg replied defeatedly.

Checking it was safe to do so, Grissom swerved the SUV to the side of the road and got and run round to the passenger side.

Opening the door, while looking at a confused Sofia "I can't drive….but I need to get back there now!"

Sofia still wasn't moving, she sat there looking at him while still chatting on the phone, "Hold on a sec" she said to the caller.

Turning to Grissom she replied "Gil" reaching out her other hand to rest on his arm "Don't you think you're over reacting, Greg's there. The ambulance is on its way. What good will it do? She'll probably be dead before we get there" and she turned and continued with her conversation on the phone.

Grissom lost his temper and snatched the phone out of her hands and chucked it in the back of the car "Get me back there now, or get out? Your choice?"

Almost silently Grissom replied heartbroken "No, She won't die, she's strong. She's the strongest woman I know." He looked to the ground, then back up at Sofia "Sofia don't be a bitch. Last time I checked I was the boss, and I need to get to her now! Understand?"

Sofia did not reply, just turned and moved across to the driver's seat and turned the SUV around to head back towards Greg and their Crime Scene.

"Greg, you still there?" Grissom shouted down the phone, the only reply he got was silence. "Greg!" he shouted again, "You have to stop the bleeding. You can't let her..." his voice broke and he struggled even say it out loud.

Back at the scene Greg was leaning over Sara still trying to top the bleeding. Which was now seeping into his clothes.

"Come on Sara, stay with me." Greg begged trying to keep her awake, "You have to stay with me. I love you like a sister. Please sis, you have so much to live for, do not give up. I won't let you give up." There was no way Greg was going to loose her, he had to keep her conscious

Unaware to Greg, but Grissom just could not find it in himself to end the call. After hearing, Greg's words he could not hold it in any more and he began to feel the tears start to stream down his face.

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

High up above and down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Light's will guide you home
And ignite your bones
I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I
Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Back at the scene Greg was still struggling to keep her awake.

'It wasn't working' he thought angrily to himself, he cupped her face with his hand.

She began to mumble, still struggling to breathe "Please don't go without me. I love you...so sorry she hurt you."

Greg tried to comfort more by taking her hand "They'll be here soon Sara"

She wasn't listening "Never have let anyone hurt you. I know…Sofia…baby" another tear fell, "but I love…" That was the last thing Greg heard before the darkness closed around her once more.

"Baby? Sofia? Baby?" he replied confused, then looking down at her lifeless body he screamed, fear evident in his voice "SARA!"

Just then the paramedics arrived, Greg was being pushed out of the way, but he refused to let go of her hand.

It was then he looked up and saw Grissom rushing trying to get to her "How is she Greg?" he shouted. The tear stains and emotion so clear on his face.

"I...I don't know, she's lost so much blood. She kept losing consciousness." He paused, how could this have happened? "I tried to keep her awake, but I failed...I let her go, I gave up on her...it's my fault." He collapsed to the floor, in tears, but still never letting go of her hand.

Grissom felt like he had his heart ripped out of his chest when he saw her, surrounded by the paramedics, desperately trying to save her. All he could do was focus on her face, her sweet beautiful face. His eye's never leaving her, all he could do was wait and see if his precious angel would be taken.
