Summary: The virus breaks out in Las Vegas and the team are forced to believe in what is being said in the news. It's not long before Grissom starts his own experiment to see if he can cure the virus once and for all but not before all hell breaks loose.

Disclaimer: I don't own CSI or the 28 days later series, I never will and it makes me sad to keep saying it D: I do not have a Beta all mistakes are mine unfortunately! Thank You to everyone who has kept interest, reviewed and favourited this story, It really does means a lot.

"Hank! Get off her now!" The muzzle of his gun was practically at the EMT's temple but Hank made no attempt to move.

"Grissom! Do something!" Hank was still staring at her, his eyes dark and bloodshot like Catherine had described before. Grissom was on the verge of tears and he couldn't bring himself to pull the trigger. "HURRY!!!" He clenched his eyes tightly and bit his lip as his finger slowly squeezed the trigger. If Sara wasn't so afraid she could have sworn the bullet leaving Hank's skull made an ear piercing pop.

His lifeless body dropped to the side of Sara and she quickly jumped up and embraced Grissom tightly. "Now he knows exactly what it's like to be an obstacle in my way." He tried to shed some light on the ordeal but she didn't stir. Instead he pulled her closer and kissed the top of her head.

"We've got to block the door up." He didn't want to release his grip on her but they couldn't risk another attack like that. They pushed one of the large cabinets in front of the already damaged door and peaked out the blinds at the DNA lab opposite. "Everyone looks okay over there." Making small talk didn't seem to be on Sara's to-do-list, she just stood there silent.

Grissom pulled out his cell and rang Catherine. She answered almost quickly and was relieved at the sound of Grissom's voice.

"Cath? You guys alright?"

"Yeah, we managed to hold them off. Brass, Nick and Warrick shot most of them. Where are you and Sara?"

"In my office. I'm not sure if it's safe to come out yet so we'll wait in here for a little while. Ring if you need any help. Has Greg got anywhere new?"

"I think we were a little busy trying to hold off the infected to be honest. I'll call you in a bit. Greg's now going to start profiling the blood." She closed the phone and wandered over beside Greg at the microscope. "Please say you know what to do."

"Nope, this is way to new for me. It's too advanced." He rubbed his eyes and sighed. "I don't even know where to start." Anger began to pleasantly take over his emotions.

Back in Grissom's office, they were propped up against the back wall. Sara's head was buried in his chest as he tried to keep himself awake, the nap clearly didn't serve him as well as he wished it did. "If we live through this, will you give me another chance?"

"You can keep telling me no and trying to push me away but when you finally sort out your feelings out and decide you want to take this further, you'll always have another chance. As much as I want to turn away I can't."

"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve you but I'm not sure I could live without you anymore." She lifted her head and looked him straight in the eyes.

"I want to be with you, regardless of the consequences. Nothing will change that." He bent down and kissed her on the lips, this time with no interruptions. It was a long passionate kiss and the desire for air grew as the seconds went on.

She broke the contact and began to talk, a small smile present on her face.

"We should stop and try to figure out a game plan before we get a little physical. It's hardly the right place or time." The both gave out a small laugh and stood. "Do you think it's safe to get into the lab now?"

"I haven't heard anything, I'll go take a look." He stood and walked back over to the blinds and looked out. The others across the hall looked bored and agitated but no signs of the 'zombies' were present. Once again he pulled out his phone, this time to call Brass.

"Brass."

"Jim, its Gil. I need you to look around to see if the infected are still out there. I want to try and get myself and Sara in there."

"I don't think that would be possible, the lab is a right mess. Have you got any room in that office of yours?"

"Yeah but we need the equipment."

"I'll get everyone to grab the things you need and we'll get over there ASAP."

"Alright, I'll wait outside and wave you over when it's all clear."

"Give us five minutes."

Jim closed his cell and told the others to take the equipment that they would need to Grissom's office. "Greg! You know what he needs makes sure you get everything. We're going over there"

"Ai ai Captain!" Nick and Greg laughed but no one else seemed to be amused.

Each member had hold of as much equipment as they could carry and began to make their way across to Grissom's office. There was no sign of the 'zombies' as most of them lay dead on the floor around the hallway. Once all of them were safely inside, Greg started to set up the electronic equipment and the rest of team shoved as much stuff in front of the door as possible.

Nick took a look at the body lying on the floor and instantly recognised his face. "Sara? Isn't that Hank Peddigrew?"

"Uhuh." Her reply wasn't very loud but it was still audible by the rest of the team. As each of them looked up at Grissom, he had offered them a 'Don't ask any more questions' look. Afraid of his current mood, no one did.

"Everything is set up. No one comes near this, only me and Grissom kay?" Greg offered.

"Whatever man." Warrick replied, clearly not in the mood for any more crap.

"This is fucked up! What are we supposed to do? We're locked in your fucking office for crying out loud!" Catherine began to cry and Warrick offered her a hug. "I don't even know if Lindsey's alright!"

"I got a couple of uniforms to pick her up from school and protect her until this is over with. I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier." Brass said feeling incredibly guilty for not telling her before.

Catherine was too upset to shout at Jim for his ignorance, it was obvious he had forgotten because of the attack they had just sustained. She turned to Warrick and he held her in his arms.

The team's agitation was growing and everyone was pretty sure that if there wasn't some solution to the 'Rage' anytime soon then they'd all be shredding each other to death. Grissom ran through every possibility of overcoming the virus and in the end there was only one option.

'I need to get out of here. I have to save my friends, even if does mean putting my life in danger.'

He stood, releasing Sara's hand and he knew that this is what had to be done.

"I'm going out, I have an idea. All of you need to stay here and keep your phones ready." Everyone just stood staring, mouth agape. All apart from Sara who had tear tracks marking her cheeks.

'He's going to leave me again.'
