Sara seemed to be in a trance the entire way to the hospital. It seemed like the past few months had been nothing but a traumatic roller coaster that never ended. The look in Devin's eyes seemed so cold that the scene that had been played out only moments before was still playing in her head like a movie.
Brass was watching Sara the entire ride behind the ambulance and he noticed that she wasn't even blinking. He knew about the night Sara and Gil had shared together. When he had woken up and Sara wasn't there he had called Brass and he could practically hear the sound of the blood seeping from the tears in Gil's heart. His only thoughts now were the prayers for his friend only feet in front of him fighting for his life.
When they pulled into the hospital parking lot he saw Sara grip the door handle. "Sara, just wait they won't let you near him right now. Let me park and then we will get in there." She still didn't let loose of the door handle, but she sat back and let new tears fall.
"I can't loose him Jim, I love him so much. If he dies I will die with him."
He helped her quickly out of the car as they made their way into the hospital. "He's going to make it Sara. He loves you too much to leave you."
1 Hour Later
Sara had been going nuts. No one would tell her anything. Now everyone from the lab seemed to be pacing the hospital hallways and waiting rooms.
Brass noticed a change in Sara's posture, looking up he saw a Dr. walking towards them.
"Is the family of Gil Grissom here?" Sara shot up and ran to the Dr. "Yes, we're here. Is he ok?"
The Dr. looked as saw how many people were in the waiting room and said," Could you all please sit?" Everyone sat down and Sara thought only the worst. 'He's telling us to sit because he didn't make it. Oh my God Grissom is gone.'
"Mr. Grissom sustained a gunshot to the chest which lodged very close to his heart, When he came in he had went into Cardiac Arrest. We had to do surgery, in which he lost a lot of blood. We had to insert a chest tube, which is keeping the fluids and blood out of his lungs."
Sara could feel her heart sinking even lower than it already was. "What are his chances?"
The Dr. let out a sigh and said," If he makes it through the night…forty percent. I hate having to tell you this but; if there is any other family that is close to him now would be the time to call them." The Dr. then silently stood and left the waiting room.
Sara fell apart and once again started to cry. "If I never would have told him I loved him, this wouldn't have happened. It's my entire fault. I killed him."
Nick pulled Sara to him and tried to calm her down. " Sar this is not your fault, you didn't pull the trigger. Devin did."
Catherine stood up and said," I'm going to call Gil's mom."
The dark storm clouds made their way over the Vegas city, and the rain started. The only thing is, when it starts to rain in Vegas it seems to never stop, and only get worse by the minute.
TBC? I'm sorry I know this is short, but I have been really busy. My Uncle was just in a motorcycle accident, and I'm at my grandparents all day so I don't really have time to write. But I am trying to update for everyone. Feedback please.
