Ch8: Who Are You?
Sara and Ray walked inside the hospital, and made it just as Nick's doctor came out of surgery.
"You must be the CSIs... I'm Doctor Green" he shook both their hands.
"I'm CSI Langston this is CSI Sidle, how is he?"
"Broken eye socket, broken jaw, and two GSWs he should be fine"
"I hear a but coming"
"He has a few skull fractures that have caused a little brain swelling, brain swelling is tricky" they followed the doctor into a recovery, where Nick was. His face was covered in bandages almost like a mummy, his jaw was wired shut. Sara looked at him, studying him "we had to wire his jaw shut to properly set it in place we are taking them off tomorrow... He put up one hell of a fight" Ray and Sara photographed Nick unaware that it was him. Nick was an unconscious, but he looked peaceful. They finished up processing him, the doctor handed Ray Nick's belongings. Ray didn't even look at them if he had he would have recognized that it was Nick's things. "I hope you catch who did this, no man should have to suffer like this for trying to protect his family"
"Family?" Sara asked
"The woman is pregnant I would say 4-6 weeks at least... I'll take you to see her she has a concussion but besides being a little loopy she's alright... I'll take you to see her last I heard she was asleep" as they left Sara did a double take on the mysterious man, before joining the other men. They arrived at a triage room the doctor stopped and looked at his beeper. "Sorry I have to go... We are keeping her overnight for observations" the doctor left, Sara looked in and wasn't able to see the woman's face. The woman, Wendy, was facing the other direction asleep holding her stomach. Sara placed her hand on the door, but didn't open the door.
"What's wrong?" Ray asked
"She been through enough let's just go through John Doe's stuff and wait for her to wake up"
"Ok, after you..."
Crime Scene... Catherine took photos of Nick and Wendy's blood pool she photographed the table knocked over. Greg dusted the register he photographed a print, he stepped back and tripped. He noticed a wallet in the corner covered in blood, he photographed it and reached for it. Greg opened it and saw Nick's driver's license, his jaw dropped and he felt sick to his stomach.
"Catherine!" Greg said, Catherine continues to work.
"Hold on Greg"
"Catherine, look!" Greg ran over and showed Catherine.
"Oh my god... Where did you find this?"
"Over in the corner"
"I'm going to go to the hospital keep processing" Catherine left as everyone stopped in shock, Brass tried to comfort Greg to keep him focus on his work.
Hospital... Sara looked hard at John Doe's rings; she studies the one very intently.
"This ring looks so familiar..." Sara said as Ray looked at another.
"What college did Nick go to?"
"Texas A&M... Nick... Nick! Oh my god, it's Nick!" Sara said running out of the work area they were in. She ran towards Nick's and saw Catherine she looked very uneasy.
"Sara... Have you talked to John Doe?"
"No... Is it..." Sara asked as her eyes became very glassy.
"I don't know..." Catherine said she looked in Nick's room "oh my god... Have you talked to Jane Doe?"
"No she is asleep, Catherine she's pregnant" Sara said, Catherine looked shocked. They walked towards her room, she was still asleep as they walked in and caught a glimpse of her face. "Wendy?" Sara said shocked, Wendy fluttered eyes open Catherine gently held her hand.
"Wendy, can you hear me?" Catherine said, Wendy had a bruise on her forehead. She shot up scared, she held her up trying to protect herself and cried.
"Please..." Wendy cried, Catherine came over trying to comfort.
"Wendy your safe, shhhhh, Wendy your safe" Catherine said, Wendy opened her eyes and started to calm down "Wendy you were attacked earlier today, who were you with?"
"At the bodega" Wendy said
"Yes who was with you?" Catherine said, Wendy's eyes became extremely glassy.
"It was Nick... Is he..." she started to cry.
"No..."
"I'm going to call Ecklie and Brass" Sara whispered and left.
"Wendy, the doctor told us you're pregnant. Did you know?" Catherine asked.
"Yes... is my baby alright?"
"Yes, does Nick know?" Catherine asked, Wendy's eyes shot wide.
"No... How is he?" Wendy said crying.
"He's stable" Catherine said
"I take it he told you about us..."
"Yea... He told me from the beginning"
"Can I see him please?" Wendy said wiping her tears "I have to see him... Please" Catherine looked away, it wasn't a good idea major damage control needed to be done. Wendy sat up trying to get out of her bed crying desperately needing to see Nick.
"Wendy I don't know..."
"Catherine I don't care how it will look! I need to see him, please!" Wendy sobbed into Catherine's shoulder and then them when she stopped crying they looked at each other, she took a deep breath and looked at Catherine "I am going to see him!" Wendy pushed past Catherine bringing her IV stand with her. Catherine realized that Nick and Wendy weren't a little fling 'friends with benefits' kind of deal that they truly cared for each other.
"I'll take you to see him" Catherine said softly.
