Touch Me, Touch Me Not!
Chapter 3: Touch Me, Touch Me Not!
Sara’s voice was small as she laughed out loud. She sighed as she reached over and grabbed another swab. She wiped it across a larger tattoo that was situated on her left hipbone. It looked like a pair of swords in a cross formation with a small amount of blood dripping off the blades.
Nick grabbed a few more swabs and silently asked the naked woman where he should swab. Sara started pointing to different spots on her body as Catherine grabbed some more swabs and held them up to Nick as he ran out.
Dr. Robbins just sat back and waited. He knew that Sara was wary of people right now and was content to wait until he was needed. He also knew Sara was putting off the physical exam until last. He just sat back and relaxed, because he knew that with the way Sara was reacting to anyone other than Nick Stokes the physical would be a harrowing experience for them all.
“Sara,” Catherine said quietly as to not scare the frightened woman any more. Sara looked up at her. Catherine held a pointed stick and an envelope.
“May I get under your nails?” She asked. Sara seemed to toss the idea of touching someone else around in her mind before staring balefully at Catherine for a moment. She slowly gave Catherine her left hand but kept her right one tucked up to her chest.
Catherine sighed and quickly cleaned under Sara’s nails before asking, “Sara, may I have your other hand?” Sara trembled and tucked her hand tighter to her chest and whimpering before gathering her courage and placing her right hand in Catherine’s gloved one.
“Please, don’t hurt me.” She whispered. Sara’s right hand was missing 2 fingernails completely and the 3 remaining nails were broken off really short. Catherine stared at the mangled hand and shuddered at the thought of how hard Sara must have fought to mangle herself that bad. She exchanged the stick for some swabs and gently wiped each finger.
“I think that’s about all we can do right now, Baby. We’ll have to let the good Dr. Robbins finish up. But before we let him finish we want you to know that we’ll be right here and we’re not going anywhere. Okay.” Nick said as he kept his eyes locked with Sara’s.
Sara glanced at Dr. Robbins and shivered. He placed his crutch next to him and gimped over and placed his gloved hand out to her.
“Sara, come over her please and let’s get you up on this bed.” He said. “The sooner this is done the sooner you can shower.” Sara’s head snapped over to look at the disabled doctor and walked confidently over to him and sat on the exam table. She looked entreatingly up at Nick and Catherine and held out her hands to them.
Nick and Catherine exchanged a glance before they walked over to her. They each took a hand, Catherine the left and Nick the injured right. She smiled hesitantly up at the 2 of them as the Dr. finished up his exam. Sara twitched in pain every now and them and clutched her friend’s hands hard.
“Okay, Sara. I’m finished. I have a few medications for you. Some STD preventatives, a morning after pill, something to help with the pain you are no doubtedly feeling and some antivirals in case he had H.I.V. or Aids.” Al stated before taking a deep breath and continuing. “You will need to get another blood test done in 6 months, 1 year, and 18 months to rule out the case of you contracting the disease. Now I don’t think I need to tell you how to protect yourself or any prospective partners you may have do I?”
Sara shook her head before letting Catherine’s hand and used Nick to help her to her feet. Catherine grabbed a jumpsuit and held it out to Sara.
Nick helped Sara into the jumpsuit and Sara tugged on his arm pulling him towards the locker room and the showers.
“Sara, wait. Let me get Cath and she can help you shower.” Nick said quickly when he realised where they were headed.
Sara shook her head and trembled. “No.” She stuttered. “I-I d-d-d-don’t want h-h-her t-t-to t-t-t-touch me. I-I-I d-d-d-don’t t-t-t-t-t-trust her t-t-t-to t-t-t-t-touch me.”
“Does that mean you trust me to touch you?” Nick asked in confusion.
Sara bit her lip and nodded. Nick felt flattered.
“Why? Why me? Why not Warrick or Grissom or Catherine?” He asked.
“I was brought here to investigate Warrick and while he is now a friend I still distanced myself from him. He doesn’t trust me as much as if I hadn’t been brought here to get him fired. Catherine and I don’t always see eye to eye. It seems to me that she’s always checking up on me as if I didn’t know how to do my job. Damn it I’ve been a CSI just as long as she has. Gris, well he’s hurt me before. I trust him with my life but not my body.” Sara stated softly. “With you there are no preconceived notions from either of us from before or now. If you did not realise it I hold you in high regard. You have never hurt me. Not once, ever, and the others have. And that is the deciding factor here. Now are you going to be able to help me shower?”
“Ah, um.” Nick stumbled over his words and his feet. His pants getting tighter than they had been after seeing his friend naked. And his pants did tighten while he undressed her, but after surveying the damage he wasn’t thinking like that anymore. He wasn’t certain that it was a good idea. He knew that a vulnerable Sara wasn’t thinking correctly.
“Sara, I don’t think that is a good idea.” He said. Sara just shook her head.
“There’s nothing like that going through my mind. I can’t move very well and I need help getting THEM, off of me.” Sara said with a huff. “Typical man, thinking with the wrong head.”
“Wait a moment.” Nick squealed in indignation. Sara laughed, it was a pure happy sound.
Sara’s voice was small as she laughed out loud. She sighed as she reached over and grabbed another swab. She wiped it across a larger tattoo that was situated on her left hipbone. It looked like a pair of swords in a cross formation with a small amount of blood dripping off the blades.
