Summary: Something is wrong with Greg but no one knows what it is. What happens when Sara finds out and informs the rest of the group? Read and find out. (Summary may change)
Greg felt like he had been smacked with a metal pole. "Wow…Sara. If this were a year ago, I'd say yes. But after everything that has happened…I'm not ready…and I don't know when I will. "
Feeling her heart break slightly at his words, she nodded. It's what she expected. "Okay."
Feeling slightly deflated, he just shook his head. "I'm sorry."
"No Greg it's okay. We need to find Melanie and get you better anyway."
"Sara…" The need to make sure she's okay overwhelming him.
"It's fine. Look I'm gonna head into the lab and see if they have any news. Will you be okay here alone?"
"Yeah…I'm alright."
"You have my cell, don't hesitate to call." Sara stuttered, as she checked her pockets for her watch, wallet and keys.
"I won't…now go." Greg chuckled, his mood slightly lifted as he turned to the T.V. in front of him.
Feeling slightly depressed Sara stumbled into the lab, the exhaustion of the past few weeks wearing on her. Bypassing Judy, she cut to the break room. Pouring herself a much needed cup of coffee, she sighed, leaning against the counter.
"What are you doing here?" Catherine asked, stepping into the break room.
"I had to get out of there…" Trying to shake off her stupidity, she added. "He rejected me. Said he couldn't do it now. God I'm so stupid."
"You're not stupid Sara…he's just going through a lot right now."
And once again the terror and anguish in Greg's eyes, flashed in her mind making her shake her head. "I'm so stupid."
"You're not."
Catherine was about to add more to comfort the brunette when their boss stepped into the room.
"What the hell are you doing here?"
"I…uhh came in to check on Greg's case." 'And to get away from Greg and her stupidity.' She added in her head.
"Well you need to get back there now."
"Gil, what's going on?" The strawberry blonde spoke up before Sara could.
Letting out a sigh of frustration, Grissom grunted. "I got a call from Brass. He got an anonymous tip about an hour ago. Melanie is in the area and she's out for revenge."
"But…but she doesn't know where I live…" Shaking her head, Sara heart pounded in her ears. "…she couldn't."
"Well let's head over there then…"
Nodding in agreement at Catherine's words, the supervisor picked up his phone. "I'll call Brass and have him meet us there."
Sara was in a whirlwind, just hearing the words around her made her heart lurch in her chest. There's no way Melanie knew where she lived. She couldn't have.
Shutting his phone, Grissom nodded toward the door. "Let's go."
Brass' men cleared her home within seconds of their arrival. The room where Greg lay was empty. The comforter on the bed lay half on the floor and the younger man was nowhere to be found. A call to his cell phone confirmed all their worst fears. Melanie had taken Greg.
"Good morning sweetie."
The sound of that light voice, sent a cold shiver down Greg's spine as he slowly opened his eyes. The once red-head, now blonde Melanie Ceff stood before him, a menacing smile at her lips.
"Oh how I missed you Gregory."
Seeing her sinister smirk made him nauseous, the bile rising in his throat. It was only then that he took in his surroundings.
The whole of the room lay dark and barren with an exception of a light in the far corner of the room. He lay naked on a bed in the center of the room, his arms and legs tied to the posts of a wooden bed frame. "So this is it huh?...you're gonna…" His throat suddenly felt dry, he hoped this day would never come. "…you're gonna kill me?"
Seeing the tears in his eyes made her snicker. "Oh Gregory that wasn't the plan..." She snarled, pulling out her favorite leather belt and snapping it a few times, causing his eyes to bulge in fear. "…until you got your little friends involved." Easing the belt onto his bare thigh, she let it teasingly dance across his naked body. Laughing at his sudden flinch, she pulled it back adding. "Oh and Greg….my names not really Melanie."
Hearing that, Greg closed his eyes, the realization that he played pawn in her little game hitting him full force. "Do it." He whispered, turning away from her, surrendering to her as she pulled the belt back once more to start his punishment.
"Good boy." She sneered, letting the belt come forward and give him his first lashing.
His screams of agony echoed through the room, the only response besides the woman's heinous guffaw and the ominous flashing light in the corner of the room.
