Amnesia

"Who are you ?" Greg asked them .

"Greg , there is no time for jokes , okay ?" Nick said .

"Yeah , man , you scared the hell out of us , don't play with us any more , alright ?" Warrick spoke .

"But I don't know you …" he defended himself .

"Are you serious ?" Sara asked "you really don't know who we are ?"

"No ," he answered

"So , you know what's your name ?" Catherine said , sending Nick to get the doctor

"You told me , Greg "

"Yes , but your last name ?"

"I …my name is ..I don't have an idea ."

Nick entered with the doctor .

"Could you step out of the room ? I need to check him now ."

"Sure"

They went on the hallway and sat on the chair in the waiting room . Looking at each other frightened , they were hoping that everything will be okay , no on expected at this .

"Why the hell , guys ? Hasn't he been through a lot already ?" Nick said .

"Yeah , he has . But I can't understand why he has amnesia , the doctor said he will be okay , that there will be nothing like this !" Catherine yelled .

"Slow down there , Cath . If you scream you're not going to help Greg , understand ?"

"Yeah , sorry Gil ..it's just that I hoped everything will be okay and now …"

"We are going to help him remember . At the lab , seeing all those familiar things , he will have his memory back"

"Yeah , I hope so ."

"So , doc , how is our guy ?" Grissom asked .

"Well , we haven't expected at this thing … "

"What was the cause ? The hit in the head ?"

"That's the big problem . The hit wasn't powerful enough to touch the memory core . This amnesia is psychic , caused by the torture ."

"The pain …" Nick whispered .

"Yeah , after those injuries I saw on him , I think his own mind had blocked the memories "

"He will recover ?"

"He has a lot of options : he may remember tomorrow , after a year , a week , ten years , he can have amnesia forever . Nothing is sure ."

"Have you told him about the … accident ?"

"No. And , not to forget , he will have massive headaches when he will remember some of the things . This happen always with this kind of amnesia ."

"Thanks , doc . Can we enter to speak to him ?"

"Yeah , and try to find out what he remember , okay ?"

They opened for the second time in that hour Greg's door . Now they entered slowly and looked at Greg . He saw them and smiled .

"Hey , Greg , we are disturbing you ?"

"No … I … you look familiar , but I just don't … don't know who you are , I'm sorry ."

"No problem .So , what do you remember ?"

"Uh …I feel my mind is empty , I can't remember anything . Please , if you don't mind , tell me who you are ."

"Of course not . My name is Catherine Willows ."

"And I am Nicholas Stokes . Everybody calls me Nick , you too"

"Nice to meet you ,,Catherine , Nick"

"I'm Sara Sidle " the brunette told him .

"Me Warrick , Warrick Brown ."

"And who are you ?"he motioned to Grissom

"Me ? Gilbert Grissom "

"Our boss " Sara said .

"Boss ? Where I am working ?"

"At Las Vegas crime lab . You are an investigator ."

"Really ?" he smiled "cool . Where are you guys working ?"

"We are your colleagues at the crime lab"

"Wow , don't tell me I work with two hot girls …. wow"

"So , you remember your sense of humor . That's good . " they all laughed .

" I have a question … please , can you tell me some things about myself ?"

"Yes , of course .

Your name is Greg Sanders . You work as a CSI at LVPD crime lab , but you were first a

DNA technician , you were working in the lab . You love rock music , your favorite brand of coffee is called Blue Hawaiian , … you have a big apartment in the middle of the town "

"What city is this ?"

"Las Vegas"

"Where did I studied ?"

"B.S. in Chemistry, UC Berkeley"

"Oh , I'm good "

"Yeah , you are"

"Why did I became a CSI ?"

"Well , you loved more field work than lab … but you are great on both . You started to ask for field three years ago , and Grissom here agreed , so you started training hard . You failed your final proficiency the first time , but you were given a second chance and you managed this time .You were very happy . "

"Well , what can you tell me about my family ?"

"Your mother is Norwegian ; your grandparents had to leave the country because your grandma got pregnant before the wedding " Grissom smiled "you are an only child . You were born in San Gabriel . on 5 May 1975"

"I'm thirty ?" he asked ."that old ?!"

"You're the youngest from all the lab ."

"Really ?" Greg asked "nice . so , when I can go out from the hospital ?"

"The doctor told me that tomorrow ."

"Well , let's talk then , okay ? I want to see the lab , maybe I'll remember something , anything about my life . Now I feel very tired , I want to sleep."

……

They got out of Greg's room and started walking to the car .

"So , what do you think ?" Nick asked Sara .

"I just want Greg to remember everything except for the kidnapping …"

"Yeah , that part will be better forgotten " Warrick said "let's hope that . And tomorrow , immediately after will get out of hospital let's brought him at the office , maybe there is here something familiar for him , who knows ? "

"Yeah , you're right , maybe seeing a face .."

….

At the hospital , Greg was lying in the bed thinking . Why the hell he couldn't remember anything ? If those were his friends , why he felt he didn't knew them ?

And the most important question , a thing he didn't think until now , why he was in hospital ? What had happened to him ? He had an accident ? No one told him . But he felt those guys were hiding something from him . They were really his friends ? He hoped so , they knew so much about him . But those things they said about him and his family were true ?

He hoped that the next day he will find out . Closing his eyes , he heard something :

"Well , to make sure he's not going to forget this , I will hit him one time for every one of you five …" he heard someone saying .

The first strike came , the second the second one . The horrid pain . A scream .The blood on draining on his back . Other hits .

And an excruciating pain and then black .

Greg jumped out from his bed . He felt like waking up from a bad dream . He had a massive headache . The young guy just hoped this was not a flashback , it was just a nightmare … but deep inside him he knew all was real.
