Tradegy hits full force

Chapter 22

Tradegy hits full force

A shrill sound filled the room, and we were both unwilling to move. The sound went on and on until Catherine moved and crawled over me and hit the alarm clock. We both sighed when the sound suddenly stopped.

“Sara, we have to get up.” Catherine mumbled her voice raw from the sleep.

“I know, don’t want to….” I mumbled back.

“Miss Sidle, do you really want me to believe you don’t want to catch bad guys today?”

“Yes, I rather stay in bed with you until the others catch the bad guy.”

“Oh please Sara don’t make me drag you to work, not today. Lindsey tries that routine on me every once in a while. You can ask her, it’s never worked. I always get her to school someway even if it means the rough way…” Catherine added with a evil twinkle in her eye. We both broke down in laughter.

“Oh Catherine, maybe I’ll just stay in bed and wait until you let that rough routine loose on me…” I replied while I pulled thenketnket over my body and turned on my side before I snuggled down and acted as if I wanted to go back to sleep again.

“Sara c’mon’, I can’t do this alone, it’s too hard.” She said softly before she broke down in tears.

I was stunned; I had no idea what was going on. I never made her cry, not like this. I turned around and watched her; she seemed so small and fragile. I pulled her into a hug.

“What’s wrong babe, please talk to me.” I pleaded to her.

Catherine pulled me closer, as she pushed her head into my shoulder. I stroked her hair and waited until she calmed down while I softly whispered soothing words to her. Minutes later her soft sobs subsided and she was able to talk.

“I’m scared of losing you, I want to hold you through the night. Just wrap my arms around you, I want to know that you’re beside me. But on the other hand I’m scared that anyone might see us and that we’ll be the next victims. Sara, I’m so scared of losing you, all day while you slept I saw visions of you attacked by this guy every time I closed my eyes I could see it happen in different ways but the outcome was the same every time.” She was crying again. “It was like last year, I was so scared. And every time I woke up again I had to reassure myself that you were still next to me and that you were breathing.”

“I can’t do this alone. Everything came back to me, the fears that I had when we found you in those bushes beside the road. I was so afraid that I would lose you right there on that spot. And that was when we weren’t together, just imagine how I feel right now.”

“Cath, believe me, I know what it feels like… I do know what you mean. Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere.”

We both realized that we had to get going if we wanted to make it into work on time. We couldn’t afford to be late, because Grissom would send out a search team if we didn’t make it in time.
