Hey, thanks for all the great news, glad you've all liked it so far.
Thanks again to my beta Sakeaoi. Here's the next chapter...
Brace myself to hear the lies
He never thought he'd see her again, but there she was in the cubical opposite him. She looked terrible, but, still in his eyes, the most beautiful woman to ever walk the earth.
He immediately charged over to the cubical, only to be greeted by another doctor.
"Excuse me sir, but your not allowed into this room, now go back to yours." The doctor spoke harshly.
"No. No you don't understand, I know this woman, her name is Sara."
"Very impressive, your telepathic skills are phenomenal, now wait back in your cubical to be stitched up pl…" The doctor was interrupted by a loud beeping noise radiating from Sara's room. The doctor rushed in, whilst pushing Grissom out of the way.
"Nurse! We need a nurse in here now!" a voice piped up from inside the room. The bed was rushed out towards the O.R ,and Grissom caught another glance at Sara's beaten body. A doctor stitched up his hand, but the frantically worried Grissom was inconsolable, he needed to see her right now.
"I'm sorry, but Miss Sidle is in surgery now." The friendly receptionist said.
"MRS Grissom! And I know she's in surgery, but she's my wife!"
"Miss Sidle isn't married, her file says there is only one man listed as next of kin, but not married."
"And who might that be?"
"Well, his name is Daniel."
"Daniel…" he mulled it over in his head, could Sara really have cheated on him?
Close your eyes Get some sleep
It's too late now
To change anything
Sara came out of surgery, she'd been put into a medically induced coma, according to the doctors. The truth was, she might never wake up. He went and sat by her bed side, and talked things over, but he still didn't get a reply. He called the team, and told them he'd found Sara. They filed into the room and looked at them both together. Sara was in what would look to be just a deep sleep.
"Do any of you guys know someone called Daniel in Sara's life?"
A chorus of no's went around the group and then…
"Why? Do you think, for some reason, Sara was cheating on you?" Catherine spoke up.
"I just need to know who Daniel is."
"You never appreciated Sara properly." Greg mumbled.
"Cool it, man" Nick and Warrick said in unison.
"No I wont! All those years Sara trailed after you, and you never appreciated her did you? And now you're the one who's thinking Sara was untrustworthy?!" Greg said raising his voice.
"I never said that Greg, I just want to know who Daniel is."
The cubical was soon silent. The machine started to beep again the heart monitor began to drop. Beep beep beeeeeep…
"NURSE I NEED A NURSE IN HERE RIGHT NOW!"
The doctors came in, and left the whole team, including Grissom, standing in the waiting room. The doctor came in the room and Grissom shot up off his chair .
"How is she? " Grissom asked.
"Alive."
Nothing ventured nothing said
Seems all the words
drift from my head
They all sat beside her in turn. First Grissom, Nick, Greg and Catherine and Warrick in the corner. Sara was out of the coma, but she still wasn't fully stable. Catherine and Warrick were sat reading a Vogue magazine out loud to Sara. Grissom sat there holding her hand.
"Its not fair." Greg said.
"And for this months fashion no no's-" Catherine was cut short by Sara's reply.
"Nnno…Cath,..you know I hate …this kinda stuff…raid Grissom… he will have some forensic mags" she spoke with an unclear lisp
She dropped off back into a snooze and squeezed Grissom's hand. There were cries, laughter and shock that Grissom actually had a magazine in his bag.
They began to read the magazine to Sara again,
"And in some cases of decomp… Hey Grissom did you lift this from the break room?"
"Catherine, do you know how much these things cost?"
Sara let out a strangle gurgle laugh "Can I speak to Grissom?"
The team left the couple alone to talk things over. Warrick and Nick and Greg hid behind the side curtain.
"um guys you do realise this curtain is see through right?"
"oh yeah" said the boys
They went to buy coffee in the hospital cafeteria.
