Retribution

Chapter: 15

CRASH!!! The door to the room flew off the hinges, wood splintering everywhere. Sara jumped out of her skin as did Grissom. Bobby swung around to come face to face with 4 swat officers and Brass. Guns drawn.
“Down, down, everybody down!!”
Brass saw Grissom and then Sara, he couldn’t believe what horror he was looking at. Bobby tried to run, but Brass tackled him with the assistance of two swat officers. Brass held him down hard. “You bastard!” He screamed as Bobby struggled to get free.
Catherine entered the room. The first thing her eyes came across was Sara.
“Oh god,” escaped her lips. She quickly removed her jacket and went to cover Sara. Trying to save her at least a little dignity. Sara looked over at Grissom. Catherine’s eyes followed hers. She saw her lifelong friend, bloody, bruised, battered. A look of slight relief had washed over Sara’s face as Grissom gave her a faint smile. But then his face dropped and he instantly paled. Sara looked on confused.
Grissom felt the knife sharply enter his side, then twist and disappear. In all the commotion the unconscious Kate had been forgotten, but she had woken. She pushed the knife into him hard, twisting it before pulling it out, to cause as much damage as possible. To kill him! He crumbled to his knee’s, his eyes never leaving Sara’s until he fell forward. Landing face down on the floor. Sara screamed as Kate was taken down and cuffed. Catherine began to untie Sara as Brass ran to Grissom. He knelt beside him and turned him over. The blood poured heavily from the wound. “Get them the hell out of here!” Brass shouted “And get the paramedics in here now!”
Grissom’s eyes were dazed and faint, he struggled to keep his eyes open. Brass put pressure on the wound but the blood just seeped through his fingers. “Where are the god damn paramedic’s,” he hollered again. “Come on Gil, buddy, please hang on.”
The paramedics ran in finally, just as Sara became free. She tried to run over to Grissom but Catherine grabbed her. Sara struggled blocking out the pain running through her body.
“Sara please…let them help him!” Catherine begged.
Grissom coughed and blood trickled from his mouth. The paramedics looked at each other then at Brass.
“We’ve got to get him out of here now!”
They quickly attached an I.V, strapped the wound and loaded Grissom onto a stretcher. As they quickly left the room Sara tried to follow. She was hysterical. Catherine grabbed her again. “I need to go with him, he needs me,” she whimpered.
“Let them go Sara please, we will follow I promise you. We need to get you looked at too,” she looked into Sara’s eyes.
Sara sobbed and without warning her legs gave way and she collapsed into Catherine.
Catherine was quick to act, grabbing her with lightenng speed but they both ended up on the floor.
“I need a paramedic!!” She shouted noticing Sara had passed out. She gasped loudly noticing her hands were now covered in blood. She saw Sara’s back and almost fainted herself, as the ambulance carrying Grissom sped off into the distance.
