AN: Here comes the trouble. Thank you Very much for the reviews!

Chapter 9 –Threatened

The next morning as Sara was getting ready for school she couldn't stop smiling because not only could she still get the feeling of his arms around her but also she had a dream that he was her husband and they had two beautiful kids with his blue eyes and she hopes one day it will come true.

When she got to school she took a few breaths to compose herself she couldn't be smiling like that out of nowhere or someone will be wondering what's going on with her, she was already getting weird looks by Greg all morning.

She got out of her vehicle and went to her locker to drop off the books she didn't need right away. When she shut the locker and right when she turned around she jumped back, her back hitting the locker, she put her hand up to her racing heart and said.
"Travis you scared me."

He looks at her sheepishly and said. "Sorry Sara."

She looks at him wondering what he wanted, when he didn't speak right away she said. "is there something you want?" he shook his head, then she said. "well I will be seeing you around."

As she was walking past him, he said. "so how was your weekend?"

The way he said that made it sound like he knew something, she stops mid-step, turned around to look at him trying to see if she could tell what he was hiding and since she didn't see anything she said. "It's none of your business but my weekend was fine."

She turned around but before she took a step Travis speaks again. "I wonder what people would think and say of this?" He walks up to her and with her back still to him he moves a picture over her shoulder so she could look at it, she looks at it wide eyed, it was a picture of her and Grissom at his house laying on the couch with his arms wrapped around her, she whispered. "how did you get this?"

He took the picture away from her and said. "That doesn't matter, what matters now is what are you going to do about it?"

She turns to him and raises an eyebrow and said. "what do you mean?"

"Well are you going to save his job and your education or do you want to see him get fired and everybody would be wondering if you deserved the grades you got or did you sleep your way to get them."

She couldn't believe this was happening but decided to play his game and said. "what do I have to do?"

She knew she didn't want to hear that answer and when he did answer her. "it's really simple just be my girlfriend again and you have to make people believe that we're really a couple and you can't tell anybody about this and if I hear that you have, then it will be the end of your precious Mr. Grissom's job or maybe even his career." His smug look got bigger after that.

She didn't like that answer. "why are you doing this?"

He looks at her and said. "Because you were taken from me and I don't like it when my things get stolen and I always win." She has never heard him talk like that and before she could answer he said. "I will give you until lunch time, you better have your answer or you better prepare to say goodbye to him." He smirks and takes a step and said. "oh and just so you know that wasn't the only picture I have, just something to think about." He continues down the hall with a little whistle.

She just watched him looking shocked. she jumped again a few seconds later when a hand landed on her shoulder, the person came in the front of her and Sara said. "Geez Nick you scared me."

"Sorry Sara, are you ok? you look like you seen a ghost."

She swallows and saw that Travis stopped and was looking at her behind Nick's back, she looks at Travis for a second longer then looks at Nick and said. "I'm fine, let's get some breakfast."

"Are you sure?"

Sara gives him a small smile and said. "yeah I am let's go shall we?" He nods and they turn to the direction of the cafeteria and as they were walking Nick kept thinking and wondering if Sara was really alright.

All through breakfast her mind wouldn't stop thinking she couldn't believe that in a span of just a few minutes her day went from happy to one of the worst of her life.

She was also thinking of anyway around this and she didn't want to risk telling someone because of what it might do to Grissom, her friends noticed something off but she kept telling them that she was fine, then when she got tired of them looking at her she left the cafeteria and went to the library, she would have already went to biology class but then she would be tempted to tell Grissom and that was something she wasn't willing to risk.

Finally the bell rung and she got right up from the seat and walked to class.

As she was walking she felt like she was being watched but when she looked around she didn't see anybody staring at her, she shook her head and thought. 'great now you're getting paranoid, just shake it off Sidle.' She sighed and continued to on her way.

She gets to class and saw that Grissom wasn't there yet, so she just goes to her seat and sits down as she was the first person in class like always and that just got her thinking again but not for long because Greg came, sat beside her and said." Sara something is wrong isn't there?"

She turns her head to him and said. "No Greg there isn't."

"Then how come this morning you couldn't stop smiling and 30 minutes later when you get to school you stopped and you seem different."

"Fine you want to see me smile then here." She smiled a fake smile and said."there, can we drop it?" She gets her stuff out of her bag and didn't see him open his mouth to say something but closed it, he shook his head then he looked back at his girlfriend and she shrugged her shoulders, he sighs and turns back to the front and got his stuff ready. She felt bad for snapping at him but at this moment she was in a very bad mood.

Then right when the bell rung Grissom walks in the room and said. "Hi class I hope you all had a good weekend, it's pop quiz time." he heard the kids groan and he said. "I will let you study for 10 minutes. So spend your time wisely."

He watches the kids opened their books and notes then he looks at Sara and she was already looking at her book and notes he had a feeling it wouldn't be to hard for her, Sara felt some one staring but this was a good feeling.

She looked up and saw that everybody was doing their own thing so she looked at Grissom and they gave each other a small smile, and she goes back to looking at her book she knew her answer to Travis's deal.

Even though this has potential to hurt her just as much as him she wasn't thinking about herself it was all for him, she couldn't let Grissom get in trouble and she wasn't going to be the reason he gets fired from his job or his career for that matter. So all through class she was telling herself she was going to do the right thing, she would do anything to protect him.

When the bell rung 55 minutes later everybody got out of the their seats and rushed to their next class, Sara took a bit more time and when she got to the door she looked at him one more time and he was looking down straightening papers. She mentally nods and walks out the room then whispered to herself. 'I'm doing the right thing."

Unfortunately Nick heard her and said. "what are you doing right?"

She looks at Nick and realized her friends were looking at her and she shook her head and said. "I was going over the answers to the pop quiz in my head and I think I put the right answers."

They all nodded, not totally convinced but it's something they are used to hearing from her, she is always talking about tests and quizzes she was second guessing even though she couldn't do anything about it.

Greg said. "I am sure you did."

She smiles at them and says bye so she could get to history class, leaving her friends behind.

Greg looks at his friends and said. "something is off with her, one of you guys needs to find out."

Jim says. "why us?"

"Because I nearly got my head bitten off, so one of you guys ask next time."

They all think about that then Nick said. "ok, maybe sometime during lunch." They all agreed and headed for their second period.

AN: well there you go, he is out to destroy them both will he succeed? Is she really going to protect her man? Please Review and find out! Hope you enjoyed your weekend, thanks for sticking with me.
