Sara's POV
"What are you doing? Get away from her!" My voice feels like it's being drowned out as I try to get him away from her. He has a gun in one hand and he's hovering above her just about to shoot her. She's frozen in fear and is calling for me to help her. "Catherine!" Just as I get closer to her a wall appears before me. It's a clear wall and I can't get threw. She's crying for me and I still can't get threw! My knuckles are bleeding profoundly and when I finally shatter the wall the trigger was pulled.
"No!" I pull the blankets off me and desperately look for Catherine underneath the covers. "Baby, what's wrong?" She's safe. I can feel the sweat trickle down my neck and back as I look down at her and cup her cheek. "Hunny, what's wrong?" I shake my head and feel my heart pounding a mile a minute. "Your safe." I close my eyes and rest my head on her chest. Her hand gently runs up and down my back in a soothing gesture while asking me what's wrong. "You, trigger was pulled, and I couldn't get to you." I can't speak, nor breath at the moment. I'm shaking in fear as I picture what happened in my mind. Who the hell was he? And why was he after Catherine?
"Shh, baby relax, calm down." Her voice soothes me and so does her touch. She lifts my head up forcing me to look at her. "Nightmare?" I nod my head and she holds me tightly. "I couldn't stop him from pulling the trigger, on you." She looks shocked and I don't realize the tears falling down my cheeks till she wipes them away. "Shh, it was just a dream." Was it? Or is it a glimpse to what could happen in the future? She continues to hold me and I lie their with my face buried in her chest. Her hands gently stroke my hair and it soothes me dramatically. She whispers soothing words to me and I instantly fall back asleep.
I feel gentle tugging on my hair and I bury my head back into the soft "pillow" beneath me. Soft giggles fill my ears and I can't help but smile. "Feeling better?" I nod into her chest and roll onto my back next to her. "It's time to get up baby." What? Time to get up? I don't want to. I throw my arm over my eyes and mumble, "No." The next thing I know I feel soft fingers gently tickling my skin. Without thinking I roll over and fall off the bed. I hear her giggling and pop my head up above the bed and sigh. "Don't forget we have Lindsey's open house to go to tonight." Oh, shit! I completely forgot about that.
"When's it start?" She thinks for a minute before answering. "Six." Shit, I got an appointment at six, well that's getting rescheduled. "What time is it now?" She looks over at the clock and when I look it says twelve thirty. I slept almost the whole day. "Alright, I gotta get something down around here, you said your car was acting up right?" She nods and walk over the dresser for some clean clothes. She walks up behind me and wraps her arms around me. I feel her lips on my back and my tense muscles relax under her touch.
"Your sexy when you work on a car." I grin and turn around in her arms. "Your sexy no matter what, especially when your naked and crying out my name in pleasure." She lightly smacks my forehead before walking out of the room. I smile and change my clothes before walking out to the garage. I walk out towards the car and see Lindsey get off the school bus. "Sara!" What a cute kid that looks exactly like her mother. "Hey kiddo!" She runs up to me and hugs me. "You haven't forgotten about the open house have you?" I smile and pat her on head, "Of course not! I get to see your art projects, and science projects. Afterwards I'll convince your mom to let us have ice cream." She squeals with excitement and runs inside. What a kid. I swear one minute she's calm the next she's running with excitement.
Without warning my cell phone rang and I quickly answered it while praying that it wasn't Grissom. "Sidle." "Yo Sidle." I instantly recognize the voice and sigh. "What do you want this time Chad? Please tell me you don't need money." "No it ain't nothing like that, your pop's out of jail." My dad? He's supposed to be in for life. "What? How'd he get out?" "Yo man calm down, there was a jail break about two days ago, the fuzz still haven't figured out how many convicts are out. Sounds like a lot." Shit! That means there'll be more murders and rape cases, and my father's out of jail which means I gotta watch out. "Alright man thanks." "Yo, you better watch yourself." "Alright man, you stay outta trouble." I toss my phone on the car and rest my head on my hands.
Oh man, could this get any worse? My father's out on the loose, plus their's murder's and rapist's on the loose. "Sara?" I look over my shoulder to Catherine and sigh. Now her and Lindsey might be in danger. "What's wrong?" Should I tell her? Probably should. "We need to talk, when Lindsey's not around." I see the look of fear on her face and gently kiss her. "Don't worry, i'm not breaking up with you or anything like that." With that she calms down a little and wraps her arms around me. "Hey, come on now, you know I'd never do that. Never. I love you and Lindsey too much to do that." She nods and holds me tighter. She gives me a gentle squeeze before letting go and I watch as she walks in the house.
I adjust the collar of my shirt for the hundredth time and sigh heavily as it falls lop sided again. "Stupid collar." I mumble while trying to straiten it again. I feel Catherine come up behind me and straiten it for me. "You just need a woman's touch." It stays strait and I frown before scoffing. I look in the mirror in front of me and smile at the image before me. Catherine next to me. Where she should be. "You look handsome." I grin and look down to make sure it look's alright. Black pants with a white button up shirt and nice black boots. Looks good. When I turn around I see Catherine wearing a black strapless dress that fits her in all the right places. "It's gonna be hard keeping my hands off you." She smiles and slowly walks towards me. "Same here." She runs her hands up my chest before pulling my head down for a chaste kiss. When we break apart we're both out of breath. "Did we really have to dress up like this?" She nods before grabbing her purse. "Have you ever been to an open house? It's like going to an Italian restaurant." "There's gonna be food?" She smiles at me, "Is that all you think about? No there won't be food." I shrug my shoulders before heading downstairs.
Lindsey's sitting on the couch going through her back pack occasionally throwing something across the room. "Where is it?" I hear her mumble. "Where's what?" She looks up at me smiles. "I can't find my permission slip, I just remembered it." Permission slip for what? "What's the slip for?" She looks up at me with a smile on her face. "To the Thomas Edison Museum." Oh, I went there before it was boring, I had to sit on the freaking bench cause my teacher was afraid I'd touch something and break it. I did break the lamp that was sitting next to me though. "Sounds like fun, just make sure you don't touch anything, I mean anything in there." She giggles before searching her back pack again. Catherine comes downstairs and stands next to me. "What's she doing?" She's whispering so Lindsey doesn't hear. "She's looking for a permission slip to a museum." She nods her head and gently kisses my cheek. "Are you ready to go?" She ask's Lindsey while grabbing her coat. Lindsey nods while grabbing her coat. "Alright let's go." I grab my coat and head out towards the car.
