I Know I'll Never Love This Way Again

Sara knew she was in deep trouble. Face it she was in ultra hell. She had promised Grissom she'd come back to Vegas and now she finds out that Ecklie and Jonson has conspired to keep her here in Frisco for the next two years. She knew that she had to get out and that what Oscar & Jonson were doing was illegal.

Sara was not a dumb woman; she had a lot of training and was extremely skilled at a lot of things. Training for CSI also included some self-defense and other forms of martial arts. But she now was being held against her will in Oscar's home.

"Sara get your ass down here now" Oscar yelled up to where his new 'houseguest' was.

Sara flipped him the finger, made a face and walked to the head of the stairs.

"You bellowed"

"Get your ass down here and make me and Charlotte breakfast"

"I don't have to do anything you say Oscar, you are holding me hostage for some godforsaken reason that I don't understand. You are a menace and a creep and I hate you. Now if you don't mind I have to get to work!' she said and headed downstairs to the front door.

Oscar was too fast for her though. He was in charge now. Jonson told him that Sara was not to leave the house because then she'd head back to Vegas and they didn't want that. Jonson and Ecklie had a deal – two years. Sara was theirs for two years and not a second more.

"Charlotte!" Oscar yelled for his wife, who came running quickly. Charlotte was a big strong woman and got to Sara ahead of him. Charlotte head butted Sara, or at least attempted to and Sara moved out of the way, so Charlotte ended up head butting the front door and then collapsing in pain.

"You bitch! What did you do to my wife!" Oscar said, his face now close to hers.

"You have no right to hold me hostage Oscar, I don't know what you Jonson and Ecklie cooked up but it's over you are NOT holding me here any longer I am leaving!"

"No you are not" said a voice. It was Jonson. "Oscar you need to get a hold of yourself, and remember what the plan was." He said.

Oscar looked sheepish. "Ya I know I'm sorry Jonson. I should have stopped her earlier. She hurt my wife"

All through this she couldn't believe what was going on. She had only arrived at the lab a few weeks earlier, but was only out in the field a few times and those times, the other people (not working for her division of the lab) looked at her as if she didn't belong and always questioned her about why she was there and when she had told them why she was there – she was a member of the San Francisco CSI team – Wellington Division, a new division she had to reiterate because no one ever heard of that.

Suddenly it all became clear. It was a ruse to get her to Frisco! Jonson, Oscar and the others at the "lab" were phonies. But where did Conrad Ecklie come into it, was he part of the ruse? Or was he conned just like she was. She knew she had to get out of there right away or someone was going to get hurt
