At the hospital
She checked his pulse. Thank you God, she smiled when she felt it.
"He's alive!" she yelled, then to herself, "he's alive … thank you God!"
Nick and Warrick entered and took Greg out of his cold prison. They sighed in relief when they saw that Greg was alive and with them. They were together now. But the moment they put Greg on the blanket lying on the ground, he screamed in pain. It was then they remembered about the poison.
"The poison… we can't do anything without it …"
On the way to the hospital, the doctor gave him a perfusion with some liquid to replace the water he had lost from sweating. They couldn't give him any other drug, because they had no idea how it would react with the poison that was in his bloodstream.
"Mr. Grissom, we need to leave now, do you want to come?" a paramedic asked.
"Let me go, please " Nick pleaded.
"Yeah, Nick, but hurry! And let us know what will happen, alright?" Grissom spoke, seeing his CSI's worried face .
Grissom knew that Nick cared for Greg like he would his own brother. His young CSI knew what Greg was going through, which was why he was so very scared for the life of their guy.
…..
-In the Ambulance-
Nick sat on a chair, looking at Greg lying with his eyes closed. But Greg wasn't sleeping. He could, however, endure the horrible pain better. When he felt someone taking his hand, he slowly opened his eyes and saw his friend's face. He was safe .
"N-nick?" he asked.
"Yeah, tough guy, it's me. It's okay now, I promise." Nick tried to smile.
"H-hodges… did you c-catch him?" he whispered.
"No, but we are going to, I swear."
"You know ….a-about the poison… he p-poisoned m-me…" the pain was increasing, almost to much to bear. "I don't … I don't know what h-he used…" Greg closed his eyes and bit his lower lip to stop himself from screaming.
Hot tears were falling from Nick's eyes. He couldn't help Greg, he could just sit and look at how he suffered. Greg squeezed his friend's hand harder as the pain became unbearable. His body started to shake, and his eyes widened in shock.
"Fight, Greg, fight, damn it!" Nick yelled .
They arrived at the hospital, and Greg was quickly wheeled to the emergency room. Nick sat on a chair in the waiting room, miserably awaiting any news about his friend. "In the meantime", he decided, "I'll visit Sara."
He opened the door and entered her room. She looked at him and grinned.
"Hey, Sare, how are you?" he asked.
"Fine, Nicky, waiting to be released. Any news on Greg?"
"Yep."
She watched him for a minute, and then frowned.
"Are you going to tell me or what? Do you want me to beg? Pretty pretty pretty please?"
"Okay. "
"Nick!"
"We found him."
"That's great!"
"But…."
"What?" she looked at his face, hoping to see a smile, instead he saw a worried look.
"Hodges… gave him a poison ."
"A poison ? But he is alive, right?"
"He has, " Nick said looking at his watch "less than 30 hours to live."
Sara couldn't say a word. She hoped to hear really good news. Greg dying wasn't what she had in mind. Why couldn't she hear that her best friend was alright? Why?
…
"So, Warrick, you find anything?"
"No, Cath, nothing. Not even a trace from that poison … God, I'm going crazy."
"Yeah, me too. How the hell are we going to get Hodges ?"
"That bastard is not an idiot, that's for sure. He knows how to… Catherine, what is that?" he pointed to a white envelope.
"Let me guess" she said picking it up "another letter ."
She opened the envelope and pulled out the letter, a little piece of paper with only few words.
"So, you found him. I decided to let you see him dying. I'll come to the funeral.
D. Hodges"
"No… " Catherine whispered ."No, we will go to his funeral, not Greg's!" she yelled.
"Catherine, what happened? Why are you crying?" Grissom entered and looked at her.
"Nothing, Gil, it's just that this bastard … Hodges … another letter … read it."
Grissom took the paper from her hand and read it. He looked back straight in her eyes.
"We are not going to let this guy to defeat us, alright? We're going to fight. "
"What? He already won, Grissom, there is no chance to save Greg…"
"Catherine, nothing is lost until you give up, understand? And we are not going to give up.We will find Hodges and will prepare the cure for Greg. I just don't know how-yet. Now, we have to do our job here, right?"
"Yeah." her cell phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cath it's Nick."
"Nick, hey, how is he? "
"He's stable...for now. He has convulsions and his heart could stop any time now. " Nick told her, looking at Greg's sleeping form."And they can't give him any painkiller because they don't know how that is going to react with the chemicals in his system. I hate waiting. Let's make a change-you come here to stay with him and I'll go to the lab, okay?"
"Fine, I'll be there within minutes." she hung up.
She entered the room and took her kit.
"Where are you going?" Grissom asked.
"At the hospital to stay with Greg. Nick will be here soon."
"Okay, keep us informed, okay?"
"Yeah."
….
She drove to the hospital in a hurry, passing two red lights, she just wanted to arrive there soon. To see him. To hold his hand and make him feel safe. To help him fight.
She was there. She climbed out of the car and ran to the room Greg was in. She was very worried. She didn't know what she was going to see.
"Hey, Nicky" she almost whispered .
"Hey Cath, glad you made it soon ."
"Yeah, I was scared. How...how is he ?"
"Like Wendy told us he'd be."
"So he's not doing so good. God, why him?" she whispered.
"I'm going to go now. I bet they need my help. " he smiled and left Greg with Catherine, knowing he was in good hands.
She looked at the young man lying in that bed. The most full of life guy she had ever met, it just didn't seem possible that it was actually him lying almost lifeless on a hospital bed. He opened his beautiful eyes and looked back at her.
"P-please, Cath… take this pain a-away … please …" he whispered.
