I Do Not Own CSI

"We need the paramedics!" was yelled out from the first officer inside. Maddie was still lying on the floor, her blood pool getting bigger while Jacob's lifeless body lay on the other side of the floor. The bullet to the head killed him instantly.

"Gil, Sara," Jim said, coming in the front door.

"Paramedics, Jim! We needed them here ten minutes ago," Sara said, tears streaking down her face.

"They should be here any second," Jim replied as he looked at Gil who was looking at the lifeless body of Jacob.

"Gil, are you hurt? You ok?"

"I'm- I'm fine," he stuttered out as Jim came to grab his shoulder.

"Come on, Gil, get up, let's get you out of here," Jim said as the paramedics came running through the door.

"Out of the way please, give us room to work," the paramedic ordered.

"Come on you two, step back with us," Jim asked as Gil helped to pull Sara up, bringing her into a tight embrace.

"I want to go home now, please," she muttered into his chest, her tears making his shirt wet.

"Me too, Sara, me too."

"As soon as I get your statements you can go, guys," Jim said, overhearing the conversation.

"Ok, we're ready to transport, let's move!"

"Is she going to be ok," Gil asked.

"She's stable but critical at this point. The doctors at the hospital will be able to tell you more."

"I'm coming with you," Nick yelled, following the paramedics outside. There the team stood anxiously waiting, not knowing what was happening.

"Nick, are you ok," Warrick called.

"Fine," Nick got out before the ambulance's door shut and it sped off.

"Oh, thank god! Gil, Sara, you're ok," Catherine said, letting the breath she had been holding go as the two emerged from the house. Gil's arm was wrapped protectively around Sara who was almost huddled into him.

"Sit," Gil ordered, opening Catherine's Denali and grabbing the water she always carried in her car.

"Drink."

"Gil, I'm fine."

"Honey, you're as white as a ghost. Please, just humour me and drink, ok."

"Ok."

"Guys, what happened," Greg asked.

"Brass, you better have some answers for me. Like why three of my CSI'S and a civilian were almost killed," the sheriff barked as he came out of his car.

"Sheriff, calm down," Jim barked back.

"I want to go home," Sara asked again.

"Soon, honey, soon," Gil said, kissing the top of her head.

"Why don't you start giving us your statements now and then I'll drive you home," Jim said softly, noticing how weary the two looked.

"Ok," Sara mumbled.

"Gil, get Warrick to take your statement. Sheriff, why don't you go with them and hear for yourself. Catherine, we'll stay here and get Sara's. Greg, go in and start processing," Jim ordered.

"You going to be ok," Gil asked Sara.

"Yeah."

"I'll be right back, ok," Gil said as he, Warrick and the sheriff went to the other side of the car to talk.

"Start at the beginning, Sara."

"Gil and I came over to Nick's for dinner."

"What time," Catherine asked.

"About 6:30, I guess."

"Ok, keep going."

"We were just going to sit down to eat when the doorbell went off," Gil said.

"Jacob was at the door, with a gun. He aimed the gun at Nick first, then at Sara."

"What did you do?"

"Gil threatened him, said he'd kill him," Sara said.

"Really," Jim asked.

"Yeah, then Jacob started waving the gun around. Nick asked him to put it down.

Then he smelled the pasta we had cooking, demanded that we all sit down, eat and have a chat. He made Maddie and me serve him food and then clean up afterwards."

"He said that he had been following Maddie for a couple weeks. He saw Nick and her outside the movies having a moment," Gil said.

"We asked him what he was going to do with us. That's when he told us his original plan."

"Which was?"

"To kill Nick, grab Maddie and go. We asked if he was going to kill Sara and me, too. He said he wasn't sure."

"He was going on and on about that if he couldn't have her why should Nick, or why should we have her friendship."

"Where have I heard that one before," Catherine stated.

"When we went into the kitchen to clean up the dishes I realized I had my cell. I was going to call Brass when Jacob walked in the kitchen and took it away from me. He marched Maddie and me into the living room and demanded that we all put our phones on the table."

"Wait, how did you call me then?"

"I told him my cell was in the car, when I really stuffed it in the couch, I signed to Sara to grab it and get into the bathroom."

"And that's when she got a hold of Brass?"

"Yeah."

"When I came out Jacob was acting weird, pacing. He was really nervous and twitchy, like he was about to burst. It was very un-nerving."

"I whispered to Gil that Jim was on his way. Jacob heard whispering and demanded that I tell him what I said. Next thing I know, Maddie is on her feet diving into Jacob, trying to wrestle the gun away from him."

"Nick joined in and so did I, we were all wrestling for the gun. Jacob grabbed a hold of it and shot, that's when Maddie got shot."

"You pulled up as soon as the shot was fired."

"Jacob started pacing. He couldn't believe what he had done."

"We kept telling him that Maddie needed help, he wouldn't listen. Nothing we said was sinking into his head."

"Then the phone rang. I'm guessing that was you, Jim," Sara said as he nodded.

"He muttered to himself, he kept saying 'What have I done', that's when I saw him take the gun to his head. I tried to convince him not to do it but it was too late, he killed himself. Then you came in the door and here we are.

"And here we are," Sara said, taking another sip of water.

"Can we go now, all I want to do is go home and hold my sons," Sara asked.

"I'll see if Gil's done, then I'll take you home. Catherine, why don't you go help Greg."

"On it, stay strong Sara and go hug those babies."

"I will."

"Are you ready to go," Gil asked, coming over.

"More than."

"Oh, thank God you're alright," James said as Gil and Sara came through the door.

"Where are Samuel and Garrett?"

"Upstairs in their cribs," Marie answered as she watched the two climb the stairs. She was going to follow until James held her back.

"Let's give them some time alone."

"We came too close to losing this, Gil," Sara said as she looked into Samuels' crib while Gil looked into Garrett's.

"Let's not think about that, Sara," he said, yawning.

"Would you mind if they slept with us?"

"I couldn't have thought of a better idea myself."
