I'm Back

Ok for those of you that have been gaithful in your reviews I decided to post another chapter sooner rather than later. Thank you for your reviews they keep me writing. So if you want more, click the button at the end of this chapter and let me know what you think.

Nancy walked up to Eddie and looked in square in the eye. "Eddie if you can't shut up we will call security and have you escorted out of the hospital."

Eddie had to back up a little to be able to focus on the face in front of him. It took him awhile to realize who was talking to him. "Nancy why didn't someone call me earlier? I should have been called. I'm her damn husband."

"Eddie if you had had your pants on you would have heard the cell phone attached to them ring. They called you 3 times and didn't get answer so they called me. Now are you going to be quiet or not?" Nancy was quickly losing what little patience she had left. "Do you really care how she is or do you just like making a scene?"

"Just tell me if she's gonna live or do I have to take care of Lindsey now?" He said it with a sneer and that just pissed Nancy off even more.

"Yes Eddie she is going to live and she will be able to take care of Lindsey. You can go on disappointing your daughter as you always do by making plans and not following through on them. Don't let the little fact that your wife is in a coma stop you from being the bastard we all know you are." Eddie staggered and fell against the wall. And of course it had nothing to do with what Nancy had just said it was just the amount of alcohol still in his system. "How much have you had to drink tonight Eddie?"

"Not enough, if you say she's going to live I guess I'll just go back to what I was doing."

"Don't you even want to see her?"

"You said she was in a coma so what good would it do to see her? It's not like she's gonna talk to me. Hell she doesn't talk to me when she conscious why would I want to sit by her bed when she unconscious?" His laugh was the laugh of someone who truly felt that he was being wronged and deserved better.

"You know what Eddie? Maybe you should just go back to your little party and your flavor of the month or week or whatever the bimbos are to you lately. Catherine doesn't need or want you near her right now."

Eddie grabbed Nancy and pushed her up against the wall and was so close to her face she could see the bloodshot veins in his eyes. "Listen bitch, a man has needs and if they aren't being met at home you go where you can get it. Your sister is so busy becoming the model citizen she doesn't have time for me anymore." He didn't have the chance to say anything more as the security guards pulled him off Nancy and started to escort him out of the building. "Don't think this is the end, you and that bitch in that room are not rid of me yet." Eddie yelled back and they forcefully removed him from the ICU.

"Nancy are you ok?" Julie had been watching the whole thing and had called security and was ready to jump in if Nancy needed help. As were the other 4 nurses standing behind her.

"Sorry guys, my sister's bastard of a husband decided to make an appearance. I'm going to go talk to Captain Brass a minute and I'll be right back ok?" She left without saying another word. She found the guys as they were before and she went directly up to Brass. "Captain Brass, Eddie was just here and he was a bit belligerent and I'm not sure if he can be trusted. Not that you could before, but this is a bit more than usual."

"Well we've already decided to post a guard on their rooms or room or whatever. Maybe that would be a good reason to put them both in the same room, save on man power." He smirked as he said the last part. "We'll make sure they put him on the list of people to keep away from our girls. Nancy can you tell the nurses in the ICU that there will be an officer there in about an hour if one shows up sooner call me."

"We'll make sure he stays away from them. I never did like that creep. At least Catherine's taste is improving." Nick said with a small smile. He looked around at the amused faces. "Hey I've had time to think about it and it's cool by me. As long as they are happy. Nancy you go worry about those two in there and we will take care of things from this end." He watched her leave and

then turned back to the other guys. "Now we need to figure out how Sara's stalker was able to get Catherine in the first place."

"How was he able to get her into the building? Hey Jim have you checked on the original scene yet?" Warrick stood up as he asked.

"Yeah we found the first responder unconscious and tied up in a closet in one of the back rooms. But Catherine still would not have gone in the house unless she spoke to a cop first. That means he either knocked out our guy after she entered the scene or he was dressed as a cop and was the one to tell her the scene was clear and therefore she felt safe to enter the scene. Catherine never got around to that part in the helicopter because she was too worried about Sara. Damn I wish I had known she was hurting too, I would have done more for her then. She said it was just a bump on the head."

"Don't beat yourself up, you had to take her word for it. She's too stubborn for her own good. There's nothing we can do now except make sure it doesn't happen again." Nick patted him on the back and went to sit down. "Let's figure out how we can lure this guy out. He's going to be on his guard and won't trust any cops or CSI's."

"How are we going to verify the guards are who they say they are when they show up here?"

"Warrick why do you always have to throw a wrench in where it doesn't belong? But I didn't think about that. I guess I will hand pick the team and the nurses will have pictures of them and if someone else shows up they will call me personally and it will be dealt with. Now I'm going to have to leave and maybe you guys should go get some sleep. If things change here I will make sure Nancy gives us a call. I don't think she is going anywhere anytime soon. Go home get some sleep and we can attack this with clear minds on shift later. I will take care of the guards for tonight personally."

"Ok I guess we do need to get some sleep. See ya'll later."

"Hey Nick can I grab a ride back to the office so I can pick up my car?"

"Sure Greg come on let's go. We'll get this creep that's stalking Sara and then we'll throw a party as we string him up."

They all headed out to the parking lot as they were talking and went in their separate ways. None of them saw the man sitting on the bench smoking a cigarette just outside the emergency room door. He smiled a feral smile when he thought about the fact that they think they will catch him. "They didn't catch me in California and they won't catch me here. But this time Sara will not get away from me." He stood up and walked into the hospital and went to the information desk. "Excuse me ma'am I was told my sister Sara Sidle was brought in here. Could you tell me what room she is in?"

"Sure officer just one minute and I'll give you that information."
