A NOT SO QUIET SHIFT part 4

DISCLAIMER as before haven't bought them since I last updated.

Greg looked over at Sara; she seemed even paler now in the bright sunlight.

"Sara….." he began to say.

"Don't.. please." She whispered. "I will be okay honestly. What do you think will happen to us?"

Greg turned to look over the car park at Brass and Grissom. There seemed to be some movement but not much. Whatever was happening was behind the scenes. He could see the SWAT team van at the end of the car park but nothing else.

"I don't know Sara but Brass and Grissom won't let anything happen to us. Look at them; I've never seen them like this. Brass looks like he could fly he's so panicked, whereas Grissom looks, I don't know so frozen cold."

Sara looked at the two men, shocked at the sight. She had never seen either of them like this before. Brass always seemed so cool and calm. Grissom was the one she thought would panic. Her eyes caught his for a moment and she saw his squint slightly. She looked at him and gave him a small smile putting all her feelings into it. Grissom gave a small nod and returned her smile.

"Earth to Sara." Greg said "You were miles away."

"Sorry. They are okay over there, don't worry. How much longer do you think we have?" she asked.

"Another couple of hours I reckon." Came Greg's reply. "Hey they have been very quiet back there. Do you think they are still with us?"

"Would you walk away from a possible $2 million?" answered Sara.

"True. Well I could always hope." Greg chuckled.

They both sat quietly for a while, each lost in their own thoughts. Greg wondering who Sara was with and how the hell no one had noticed anything. Hell they were meant to be the number 2 lab in the country. Sara had changed she was happy, happier than she had been in a long while. He mentally kicked himself, he was her best friend, he should have seen it.

Sara sat watching her friend, knowing what he was thinking. Why hadn't she trusted him, she knew he wouldn't tell anyone. Now if it was Catherine, now that was a different story all together! Sara's eyes moved over to Grissom, taking in every little detail, her mind going over the past, wishing some things were different. Maybe if they had sorted things out earlier. Sara shook her head, no things had happened just when they should of. Neither she nor Grissom were ready for each other before, she had way too much baggage and he well lets not go there. She gave a small chuckle.

Greg looked across at Sara noticing the small beads of sweat forming on her forehead. Wisely he decided not to say anything; he knew that if they did get out of this she would be slapping him. Greg decided to ask a question which had been puzzling him instead.

"Sara, how did Grissom take the news?"

Sara turned sharply to look at him.

"What news Greg?" she asked not sure where the question was going.

"You know, you being married and moving. You did tell him didn't you?"

"Oh yeah, "came the reply. " He said the same as you. He was glad I was happy. Greg if we don't get out of here I want you to know something."

"Sara we are going to get out of here. I AM going to meet your husband so stop talking like this." Greg told her sternly, he wasn't used to this side of Sara. She was starting to look scared as well as ill.

"Yeah I know but I'm still going to say this. You are a great guy, a brilliant lab tech an even better CSI. More importantly the bestest friend I have ever had, you mean as much to me as my husband." Sara's voice started to break, she was close to tears.

"Wow, Sara. Thank you; you're my best friend too, so that means I can tell you something. Sara you are HELL when you don't get coffee!" Greg smiled at Sara, trying to lighten the mood.

Sara gave a small smile in return.

"Thanks… I think."

"Will you two just shut the hell up!" came a shout from the background, the voice was getting agitated.

"Guess they haven't ran away then." Greg whispered to Sara.

"Guess not."

Grissom tore his eyes away from Sara's. He wasn't sure if he could hold it together for much longer, his only reason for living was over there and he couldn't do anything to help her.

"Jim, what's happening?" he asked his friend.

Brass turned to look at him.

"SWAT are in position all around the building, there's only one way in and Sara and Greg are there. We have to go through them and no way on this earth am I giving that order!"

Just then the phone rang, Jim snatched it up.

"Yes?" he answered.

"Two hours and counting. We are very serious; do you really want to see your friends die?"

"We need longer, there's no way we can get that much money this quick. You know that."

"Well best you get your best uniform cleaned then 'cos you'll be going to two funerals."

Jim's face paled as he switched off the phone. He turned to face Grissom.

"They are serious Gil, he's going to kill them." He said quietly.

"No. I won't let that happen." Grissom turned to watch Sara and Greg.

It seemed like slow motion, he saw Sara start to shake and twitch, the next moment she was flat out on the floor.

"SARA!!" he shouted.
