Shannon

"I'll catch that bastard no matter what"

Greg said those words calmly , but anyone who knew him understood the rage behind them . He had to catch that guy who hurt Shannon . She was an innocent girl who came here to forget her memories about the abusive boyfriend and now she will return home with some more painful . How could a normal human being to do something like that to a girl so sweet like Shannon .

Greg started collecting evidence . He searched for every little piece of DNA , anything that would help them identify the attacker .

He took a magnifying glass to look for drops of blood And he found two types . One from Shannon and the other … he hoped it was from the guy .

"Look , I found two types of blood , I'll swab them and send them to DNA . What did you guys found ?" he asked Warrick .

"Hair , some fibers … and I think those are epithelial cells " Warrick told him , swabbing something found on the ground .

"Greg , you should go to the hospital , Shannon is sleeping , you may want to be there when she wakes up . And give Brass details about the girl , please , he's there too ."

"Alright , thanks Grissom."

Greg took his kit and walked fast to his car . He climbed in and started the engine and left to see his best friend .

"My sweetie " he thought "how could that bastard do this to you ?If you'll find out how much I love you … you probably hate me right now , I know , is my fault . I should have taken you from the airport , I'm so sorry . That bastard … I will catch him , I swear to you ." he let a tear fall down his cheek "I love you , Shannon , but I don't deserve your love , because I am an idiot . You got hurt because of me …"

He arrived at the hospital and parked his car . Entering Shannon's room , he saw her sleeping peaceful on the white sheets of the bed .

Greg took a chair and sat beside the bed , just looking at his poor friend . Brass came in the room.

"Greg , while she's sleeping , if you don't mind , tell me something about her , okay ?"

"Yeah , sure ." they went on the hallway .

"So what's her name ?"

"Shannon Christina Hudson."

"DoB?"

"24 March 1980"

"You and her where in the same high school ?"

"Yeah , but just an year ."

"Her parents names ?"

"Michael Hudson."

"Her mother ?"

"She was adopted by Mr. Hudson when she was eleven months , so she haven't had a mother , because Mike was not married .But he loved her very much . "

"Where is Mr. Hudson now ?"

"He died eight years ago .Car accident . "

"So she's an orphan ?"

"Her name is Shannon and she's a big girl now ."

"Yeah , you're right . So she had anyone that could revenge on her ? Any enemies ?"

"Yes , her ex . He threatened her because she didn't want to sleep with him . He tried to rape her ." Greg answered .

"Oh , poor girl …"

"Can I go now ? I think she's waking up "

"Of course ."

Greg opened her door and sat again in the chair . She opened her blue eyes and looked at him ."Greg…" she whispered .

"Hey , sweetie , how are you ?"

"Hurts …it hurts …"

"I know Shan , I know . "

"I was so scared Greg … I can still feel the pain … " she started to cry .

He took her in his arms and let her cry on his shoulder . He hugged her , putting his hands on her back and she leaned her head with blonde curls on his chest .And she cried so much … for all the pain she endured .

Greg looked at her . God , even with her red eyed , the bruises on her face she was beautiful . Her soft hair , curly and long was still shinny . Her blue eyes , so innocents and pure were looking at nothing .That hurt him so much . The idea of this angel being attacked . This was … the horrible thing that could ever happen to a girl .

"Shannon , we will catch the bastard , I promise ."

"Thank you … I knew you'll say that … "

"Try to get some rest , Shan"

"I don't know … every time I fall asleep I …. Have nightmares … with the guy .. "

"Shannon , have you seen his face ?"

"I … I remember seeing something , but I can't … I can't remember his face … I just can't !"

"Shhh , sweetheart , calm down , please ." he hugged her tightly ."It's okay ,it's okay ."

He sat with her , they talk about the high school , friends , jobs , lovers , like the old times . She fall asleep , so Greg left , going to the lab to help the boys with the case .

"Hey , Warrick , found something ?"

"Bad news . No match on DNA . Our guy is not in the system "

"Shit "

"What should us do now ? No place to start …"

"No , we have one place . Roger Clayton ."

"Who's this Roger ?" Warrick asked .

"He is her ex boyfriend ."

Greg took a place at the computer and started to search for this guy . He would do anything to catch this bastard , the bastard who destroyed Shannon's life forever . The bastard who took her innocence . He will \fight with all his strength for her .

He worked all night , just searching for the last places where Clayton lived . He hoped he was right , he hoped Roger was the one . He wanted to stop him before raping another young girls like his Shannon .

Greg felt so guilty about all of this … he must've taken time off to bring his friend from the airport to his home . He didn't and now she was suffering the consequences . She . She was not guilty at all about what happened .

He was in love with this Shannon . He invited her here to tell this , but now it was no use . He promised to himself that he'll never sleep , eat again until the bastard will not be caught .
