I Do Not Own CSI


"What do you mean Sara went missing from her scene? CSI's just don't go missing, Sara just doesn't go missisng, Jim," Gil said somewhere between worried and anger.

"I know, come on, let's go find her. Catherine, I want your help. Call the boys, tell them this is there only case at the moment."

"You got it, Jim."

"What happened?"

"Greg got knocked unconscious when he went into the kitchen to process. All he says he remembers is waking up and finding Sara gone," Jim said as they reached his car.


"Wakie, wakie, Miss Sidle, or is it Mrs. Grissom yet," Bryan Gage said as Sara's eyes fluttered open from her seated position on a steel chair.

"Can you talk or are you mute," he said, giving her a slap across the face.

"Who are you?"

"That's for me to know, but I think you have seen my handy work. I believe it was three bullet holes."

"Gil," Sara whispered.

"So you have seen it. Well, what did ya think?"

"You almost killed him."

"Well, the plan was to kill him. I still can't believe he survived that.

But then, when I find out he's alive, I find him with this tall legged brunette by his side, nursing him back to health. Then I think to myself, what better way to get revenge on a person than by making them feel the same pain I feel."

"What did he do to you," Sara asked, receiving another slap across the face, leaving a mark that time.

"He killed my father."

"Gil wouldn't kill anybody."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Positive," she said as a punch was thrown into her side, knocking the wind out of her lungs.

"My father was executed because of Gil Grissom. He was an innocent man, he didn't kill those women!"

"Gil wasn't the one who sent your father to death row," Sara chocked out.

"Well you see, that answer is going to cost you," he said just before he grabbed her wrist and twisted.

"Ahhhhh," Sara screamed.


"Greg, do you remember anything else," Gil said as he got out of the car as fast as he could.

"Just waking up"

"You don't remember what the attacker looked like, build, where he came from," Catherine asked as she and the boys came over.

"No, he came up from the side. I turned and he was there, like he was lying in wait almost."

"Nick, Warrick, I want you in the kitchen processing, any prints you get take back to the lab ASAP and find who they belong to," Jim ordered.

"Anything else, Greg," Gil asked.

"No, no, I don't remember much. Wait, he said something to me, I heard it just before the world went dark. I think he said 'revenge'. Revenge for what or for whom, I don't get it," he said as Gil's face started to go white.

"Revenge on me," he muttered.

"What"

"I was starting to remember a little more of what happened the night of my shooting. My shooter said this was revenge."

"For what," Catherine asked.

"I don't know, that night is still a blur."

"So you're thinking that because your shooter didn't kill you, he's gone after Sara," Jim asked.

"Yeah, makes sense"

"Ok then, I want you and Catherine back at the lab. Catherine, pull Gil's file, see what dayshift has. See if we can jog Gil's memory a bit."

"Jim, I want to stay here."

"You know the rules, Gil, you can't touch this scene, you're too involved. Go with Catherine, please Gil."

"Keep me updated, Jim, I mean it!"

"Promise, Gil"

"Greg, are you ok," he asked.

"I'm just feeling a little dizzy with a bit of a headache. But right now I feel responsible for what's happening."

"Don't, that officer over there should be," Jim said, leaving to go have a talk with the officer in charge.


"What are you going to do with me," Sara asked.

"Not sure yet, but I think, no, I know, that one way or another you're going to die."

"I can't talk you out of this can I?"

"Nope, but you may be able to talk your way into some more time."

"How's that?"

"Well, I was thinking I would bring on the pain some, so how about I break your fingers on the same hand where I broke your wrist," Bryan said with an eerie smile, taking her thumb and twisting.


"I got one print that I can't explain," Nick said, coming into the room.

"Whose it from"

"A Bryan Gage, got it from a work card for one of the casinos."

"Does he have a wrap sheet," Jim asked.

"No, pretty clean cut guy, but..." Warrick said,

"But"

"His father was executed almost two months ago, was convicted of killing three girls, very brutally, too."

"This is revenge."

"Revenge for what?"

"For sending my father to death row"

"Gil, you with us," Catherine asked, snapping her fingers.

"That's who we're looking for. If you read the trial transcript, it was the evidence I presented that sealed the case shut. Bryan blames me for taking away the one person he loved, now he's doing the same thing to me."

"Do we have an address on this guy? I want any and all addresses."

"I'm on it," Nick said as Greg and Warrick followed him out.

"We'll get her, Gil," Jim said.

"He's out for revenge, Jim, it may already be too late."

And the drama begins, what will happen, who will live, who will die?? what's going to happen.

Stay tuned to find out!
