Ch 7 The rescue
“Hello , Brass , Grissom here.”
“Hey , Gil , any news ? ”
”Yes , I think we found the house and we’re going there now . ”
“Okay , I’ll take a couple of my guys and will go there , I’m near by ”
…..
“Bob , now will be the time to get rid of those bastards forever .”
They knew the CSIs will find out where he was . And he wanted to make them a big surprise , because he was one step in front of them. Then he surrounded Greg’s body with gas , so that fire to be around him , but not to burn him . If he stayed still .
Bobby kicked Greg in his injured leg forcefully , make him scream in agony .
Jonathan and Bobby prepared the things for receiving the CSIs .
….
“Police , open up !” Brass yelled at the door .
“Enter , why do you scream ?” Jonathan spoke .
They opened the door with the guns draw . Once they saw the killer , they pointed the weapons at him .
“Jonathan Wilder , surrender yourself and maybe you won’t receive death penalty !” Brass told him .
“Maybe you should throw the guns on the floor ” he said , moving from his side , letting them see Greg lying on the floor , unconscious . “because if I let this droop on the floor , you’ll see how your friend look burn ” he lighted a lighter .
“You’re not in any position to give order sir ! We’ve outnumbered you !” Brass told him again .
All CSIs were looking at Greg’s lifeless face , hoping a move or something . In the places where the gunshot wounds were they saw bandages , putted there for stopping a little the bleeding . But Greg still wasn’t moving . They were afraid of the worse … what if he was dead ? What if they were to late ?
“Come on , man , let us take Greg , he’s dying !” Nick said .
“No way !” he laugh “now I think you are very scared , aren’t you ? Scared that , even if you found him , he might be dead .”
“Come on , let us check if he’s alive , it’s all I ask you” Catherine said .
“Dear Catherine , you worried for this kid ? ” Bobby said , getting out of the dark .
“You bastard ! You idiot ! You psycho !” Sara yelled .
“Sara , pretty as ever . Hey guys !”
“You bastard !”
“Easy guys and , please do what Jon is telling you to , or you’re gonna see your guy making a bath of fire , you know ?You smell the gasoline that is all over Sanders’s body , don’t you ?”
“And if even a little spark touch that gasoline , someone will burn badly ” he laughed .
Wilder approached the lighter more to Greg’s body .
“Throw the damn gun to the ground or I’ll make your friend burn as a candle !” he yelled .
“Brass , we have to do what he say “ Grissom said .
“I will not surrender my gun , unless not until I know Sanders is still alive ” he replied .
Then they heard a groan and saw Greg moving his hand .
Grissom , followed by Sara , Nick , Warrick , Catherine , Brass and some officers threw their guns on the floor .
“Well , you see how easy is to play with these dumb CSIs ? ” Wilder said , motioning to Bobby to take all the guns .
Bobby took them , putted them on the table and , with one in his hand he approached Catherine .
“You know that I could kill you all right now ?” he said , pointing the gun at her temple .
“Bob , gun down” Wilder yelled .
“No , I’ll love to kill this bitch and you can’t stop me ”
He wanted to pull the trigger , but Jonathan shot him in the back two times with a gun from the table . Dawson fell at Catherine’s feet , dead .
“Such a waste ” the killer said , smiling .”He didn’t listen to me , he deserved to be punished”
The CSIs looked at each other dazed .
“Come on , we surrendered our guns , just let us take Greg and we’ll leave you alone .” Warrick spoke .
“You are so idiots ! I thought you guys are smarter than this , to believe a criminal ” he looked at them with a grin on his face , the lighter still lighted on his hand
He kicked Greg in the leg , where he had been shot . The young guy screamed in agony , he felt a horrible pain and he widened his eyes in shock .
Sara gasped in horror seeing that . Greg was her best friend , her brother . And now he was lying in front of her dying and she couldn’t do anything .She could just stay and watch .
“Well , I want to tell you something : I will not regret that I kidnapped Greg , that I tortured him . I guess you all think I am crazy , well , good guess , I am . And I want to be sure I got my revenge on you for Kenny , he was my best friend , you killed him so now you’re going to pay for it ”
“No , we didn’t kill him , he sentenced himself to death killing all those innocent peoples”
“Well I have four words for you “
“What are those ?”
“See you in hell” Jonathan said , putting the flame on the gasoline trail and after that shooting himself in the head .
The fire immediately surrounded them , with no way out and Greg was inside of a wall of fire , far away from them.
“What shall we do now ? ” Sara asked .
“First is to take Greg of there .”
Nick and Warrick took their jackets off and , hitting the fire succeeded to extinguish the fire that surrounded Greg . Checking for a pulse , Nick’s face changed his color .
“His pulse is weak , too weak , man !” he told them .
The fire started to destroy another parts of the house . The roof fall down , trapping Greg , Nick and Warrick .
The firefighters entered and helped Sara , Grissom , Catherine , Brass and the officers to get out .
“We need to help them “ Sara demanded one of the firefighters .
“Who ?”
“Three of our friends are trapped in there , one is badly injured ”
Then they heard an explosion and the house blew up ,with the three CSIs inside…

Ch 8 After the explosion
“Three of our friends are trapped in there , one is badly injured ”
Then their heard an explosion and the house blow up ,with the three CSIs inside…
………
“No ! No , God !” Catherine fell to her knees , crying .Sara hugged Grissom tightly , tears falling from her eyes. They came here to save Greg from dying and now they had three deaths …it was horrible . That bastard had succeeded with his sick plan , that was for sure . He killed half of the team . They remained stunned , looking at the house that became the grave of Nick , Warrick and Greg . No one could survive that explosion . But hope , a little hope was still there in their hearts . The hope to see the three guys again .The fire was extinguished quickly .
The firefighters started digging into the dirt , to find the survivors .
“I found a body !” one of them yelled .
“Dead ?”
“Yeah … help me pull him out .”
Catherine ran there to see if it was one of them . Deep in her heart she wished it wasn’t .Then she saw the dead guy was Wilder . She breathed in relief .
“Who is it ?” Grissom asked .
“Mike , ” she answered “is Mike”
After another hour , one of the fire fighters found the body of Bobby Dawson , burned .
But they didn’t find anyone from the team .Catherine and Sara started to look all over, to find anything that would prove the guys were alive .
They sat on a huge pile of mass , hoping that they will find something , anything .
“Help !” they heard a sound from under them .
“Warrick ?” Sara asked .”help us” she yelled to the fire fighters “we found a survivor ”
After ten minutes of gigging , they finally uncovered the place where the boys were .
“Catherine , thank God ! Come on , you have to get Greg to a hospital quickly , his pulse is almost inexistent ”
“Yeah . You two guys okay ? Nick ?”
“He’s unconscious , he hit his head .”
“How about you ?”
“Fine , minor cuts on the arm , I’m better than those two ”
“I’m so glad , Warrick .”
“Miss , we need to take this guys out , may we ?”
“Of course .”
The first was Greg , who looked horrible . His all body covered in deep cuts , blood , dirt …almost dead . but he was alive .
“May I go with him ?” Catherine asked the EMT .
“Yes , but hurry up , madam , we need to get him to the hospital ASAP”
The ambulance left in a matter of seconds after Catherine climbed in .
“Nick , are you okay ? Nicky ?” Sara asked .
“Come on , man wake up !” Warrick hold his hand .
“Rick ? Sara ? What the hell happened ?” he asked .
“Well , an explosion , you three were trapped inside ” she said .
“Mr. Stokes , we have to get you to the hospital ” a doctor said .
“Yes , of course”
“And Mr. Brown , you will came with us too , those wounds has to be cleaned”
“Okay.”
………..
In Nick’s ambulance
“War ”
“Yes , Nick , what’s wrong ?”
“Greg … is he alive”
“He was alive , barely, when they took him”
“Let’s hope for the best ”
……….
At the hospital , Sara , Catherine , Warrick and Grissom were waiting for someone to tell them something about their guys . Greg just entered in surgery , they made him a lot of transfusions before they operated him .And about Nick no one told them anything .
“I’ll go take a coffee ” Sara said .”you want something ?”
“One coffee for me , black”
“And another one for me , black too”
“Grissom ?”
“What ? A , yes , black”
Sara left to the cafeteria .
“What do you think ?” Catherine broke the silence “about our guys ?”
“Well , Nick is going to be okay , but Greg…he has a few chances to survive , you know ” Grissom answered her .
“No , he will make it , he’s to damn stubborn to give up !” Warrick laugh .”you remember that day , when you took his coffee ?? How nervous he was ?”
“Yeah , that was funny” the memory made them all to laugh .
“Or when you taught them how to print those mummy fingers ?” Catherine said .
“Or , you guys know how he failed his first proficiency ?”
“I don’t remember really well …” Catherine said .
“He pee in the WC at the crime scene” Sara said , giving them the coffees .
They all laughed like the old times .
“So , you are thinking at the memories we have with Greg , huh ?”
“I have another one ” Catherine said .
“What ?”
“The shower …” Sara blushed
“Grissom..” Sara whispered .
“Well it’s funny , you two showered together …”
“Any one here for Nicholas Stokes ?”
“Yeah , how is he ?”
“Fine , just a mild concussion . ”
“Can we see him ?”
“Not today , he’s resting . Tomorrow ”
“Okay , so Griss , one down , one to go” Warrick said .
………….
After other hours of waiting , they saw Greg’s surgeon approaching them .
“You are here for Greg Sanders , right ?”
“Yes , how is he ?”
“Well ,,let’s see what can say about your guy . Loss of blood caused hypothermia , we made him eleven transfusions . Hundreds of stitches all over his body , he had trails from cuts and whippings , he will have scars , this is for sure .
In his left shoulder a mess … his muscle destroyed , we had to rebuilt it all , but the bullet has gone out easily . In his right thigh the bullet cut the main artery , so here was the place where he lost the most blood . And not mentioning the fact he hadn’t eaten anything for at least four days ….and some burns , 1st degree .”
“So how is he ?”
“I’m sorry , we lost him …..”

Ch 9 Waiting
“I’m sorry ,we lost him…” the doctor spoke .
“What do you mean you lost him ?!” Catherine yelled , before the doctor finished his words .
“Well , because of all his injuries we lost him several times while operating “
“Oh my dear God …” she whispered .”but he’s alive , right ?”
“Yes , barely , we were surprised he even survived that torture” the doctor assured “but he’s not stable , he can … pass away any time , we didn’t manage to stabilize him . Next 48 hours are critical .”
“He’s a fighter , he’ll pull through ”Sara told the doctor .
“Yes , he is” the doctor agreed .”you should go home , you can’t see him in the next hours , neither the other guy”
“Thank you , doctor”
“You’re welcome . Good bye and good luck”
The doctor left to see his others patients , letting them talk . They were so scared when the doctor told them that he lost Greg … that couldn’t be possible , they saved him and brought him to die in a hospital .They breathed , finally when they were told he was alive … in a coma , but he didn’t lost the battle with death , they hoped in their hearts that he will be alright eventually .
“Well , we know he has only 15chances to wake up … ” Warrick spoke .
“No , War , Greg is not going to die ! He can’t ! I don’t allow death to take him , you understand ? And , no matter what will happen , we must not give up on him , because he never stopped believing in us , now is time to do the same thing for him ! ”
“Sara … ” Catherine said .
“What , Catherine ? You have given up now? Already ? How about you Warrick , Grissom ?” she looked at them and they lowered their heads.
“You are a bunch of cowards !” she yelled , ”I can’t believe you guys ! You didn’t give up when you thought that Nick will be killed in that coffin, you didn’t give up when you saw what they were doing to Greg ?! And you give up now ? Now ?” she started to cry “after all we’ve been through?” she said , leaving them and walked down the hallway .
They were all dazed after Sara’s speech .Grissom ran after her and caught her hand.
“No , Sara , I won’t give up .” Grissom said .”Greg will be okay , I know it ! That kid is to crazy to die !” she returned .
“Neither will I !” Catherine shouted “I will miss Greg too much !” she hugged Sara .
“Well , you made us believe again and hope , so , if Sanders get out of the hospital and he will kill us slowly with his damn music , you are guilty for this , okay ? ” he kissed Sara on the cheek .”that guy is , and I say it again , too damn stubborn !”
“We haven’t given up on him yet” Grissom reassured her .
“I knew it ! I knew it !” she smiled .
“And why did you yell at us ?”
“Because I was scared that you all lost the hope and I was the only one that was sane ”
“Yeah , right , I can’t believe you , Sara , you really think you are sane ?” War told her .
All of them laughed at Warrick’s words . She gave him a punch .
After that they started speaking about the welcome back party that they will make for Greg’s and Nick’s return . They weren’t thinking at death anymore .
“Greg’ll love one with loud music and costumes .. don’t you think ?”
“Sara , Greg will but Nick won’t … let’s keep the loud music , but no costumes !” Catherine suggested .
“No , Nick hates his taste in music … let’s use country .” Warrick said .
“Country ? It wasn’t enough you believed once Greg was dead ? You want to see him dying ?” Sara laughed .
“Yes , you’re right ” Grissom said .
“Sir , you can go and see Mr. Stokes ” a nurse announced them.
“The night passed already ?” Sara asked “time pass quickly when you are with friends ”
They entered Nick’s room , slowly . He was on a bed , white sheets contrasting with his black hair , like the bandage on his head.
“Hey , Nicky” Warrick said .
“Hey , you guys” he smiled .
“So , how are you feeling this morning ?”
“Pretty fine , my head hurts a little , but this isn’t going to kill me !”
“We’re glad you’re fine ”
“But , guys what happened ?”
“Well , after we extinguished the fire that surrounded Greg , we took him , but the roof collapsed on us before we managed to get out . Meanwhile , Sara , Catherine and Grissom were saved by the fire fighters . I wasn’t hurt badly , but you were hit it the head by something very hard and you were bleeding . You fainted and Greg was … just how found him , just he had some burn marks on his body . He was the only one hit directly by the fire . When I saw the water extinguishing the fire around us , I was happy , but then everybody left , I think , because I didn’t heard a sound . I was checking Greg’s pulse every minute and it was dropping quickly , so I yelled for help and Catherine noticed my screams and they saved us “
“Thank God”
“Yeah , thank Catherine too”
“So , how is Greg ?”
“Well , the doctor made us faint when he said that they lost Greg ”
“What ?” he asked , very worried .
“But he rectified his words , telling us that Greg slipped into a coma , but he’s alive ”
“A coma ? Oh my God ! ”
“Well ,Nick let’s be grateful for the fact he’s alive … after what he has been threw”
“You’re right ”
“And those three idiots over here” Sara said “were giving up on Greg , on our Greg ! They said that he will die … but I made them regained the strength ”
“You guys have given up on Greg ? On our crazy , stubborn and eccentric Greg ? What the hell guys , like you didn’t know him !”
“You’re right , Nicky , Sara here told us the same thing “
“So , have you seen him ?”
“No , we haven’t seen him yet , he’s in the ICU ”
“So , guys let’s wait and hope for the best , we need to do this for him ”
...

They were so scared when the doctor told them that he lost Greg … that couldn’t be possible , they saved him and brought him to die in a hospital .They breathed , finally when they were told he was alive … in a coma , but he didn’t lost the battle with death , they hoped in their hearts that he will be alright eventually .
“Well , we know he has only 15chances to wake up … ” Warrick spoke .
“No , War , Greg is not going to die ! He can’t ! I don’t allow death to take him , you understand ? And , no matter what will happen , we must not give up on him , because he never stopped believing in us , now is time to do the same thing for him ! ”
“Sara … ” Catherine said .
“What , Catherine ? You have given up now? Already ? How about you Warrick , Grissom ?” she looked at them and they lowered their heads.
“You are a bunch of cowards !” she yelled , ”I can’t believe you guys ! You didn’t give up when you thought that Nick will be killed in that coffin, you didn’t give up when you saw what they were doing to Greg ?! And you give up now ? Now ?” she started to cry “after all we’ve been through?” she said , leaving them and walked down the hallway .
They were all dazed after Sara’s speech .Grissom ran after her and caught her hand.
“No , Sara , I won’t give up .” Grissom said .”Greg will be okay , I know it ! That kid is to crazy to die !” she returned .
“Neither will I !” Catherine shouted “I will miss Greg too much !” she hugged Sara .
“Well , you made us believe again and hope , so , if Sanders get out of the hospital and he will kill us slowly with his damn music , you are guilty for this , okay ? ” he kissed Sara on the cheek .”that guy is , and I say it again , too damn stubborn !”
“We haven’t given up on him yet” Grissom reassured her .
“I knew it ! I knew it !” she smiled .
“And why did you yell at us ?”
“Because I was scared that you all lost the hope and I was the only one that was sane ”
“Yeah , right , I can’t believe you , Sara , you really think you are sane ?” War told her .
All of them laughed at Warrick’s words . She gave him a punch .
After that they started speaking about the welcome back party that they will make for Greg’s and Nick’s return . They weren’t thinking at death anymore .
“Greg’ll love one with loud music and costumes .. don’t you think ?”
“Sara , Greg will but Nick won’t … let’s keep the loud music , but no costumes !” Catherine suggested .
“No , Nick hates his taste in music … let’s use country .” Warrick said .
“Country ? It wasn’t enough you believed once Greg was dead ? You want to see him dying ?” Sara laughed .
“Yes , you’re right ” Grissom said .
“Sir , you can go and see Mr. Stokes ” a nurse announced them.
“The night passed already ?” Sara asked “time pass quickly when you are with friends ”
They entered Nick’s room , slowly . He was on a bed , white sheets contrasting with his black hair , like the bandage on his head.
“Hey , Nicky” Warrick said .
“Hey , you guys” he smiled .
“So , how are you feeling this morning ?”
“Pretty fine , my head hurts a little , but this isn’t going to kill me !”
“We’re glad you’re fine ”
“But , guys what happened ?”
“Well , after we extinguished the fire that surrounded Greg , we took him , but the roof collapsed on us before we managed to get out . Meanwhile , Sara , Catherine and Grissom were saved by the fire fighters . I wasn’t hurt badly , but you were hit it the head by something very hard and you were bleeding . You fainted and Greg was … just how found him , just he had some burn marks on his body . He was the only one hit directly by the fire . When I saw the water extinguishing the fire around us , I was happy , but then everybody left , I think , because I didn’t heard a sound . I was checking Greg’s pulse every minute and it was dropping quickly , so I yelled for help and Catherine noticed my screams and they saved us “
“Thank God”
“Yeah , thank Catherine too”
“So , how is Greg ?”
“Well , the doctor made us faint when he said that they lost Greg ”
“What ?” he asked , very worried .
“But he rectified his words , telling us that Greg slipped into a coma , but he’s alive ”
“A coma ? Oh my God ! ”
“Well ,Nick let’s be grateful for the fact he’s alive … after what he has been threw”
“You’re right ”
“And those three idiots over here” Sara said “were giving up on Greg , on our Greg ! They said that he will die … but I made them regained the strength ”
“You guys have given up on Greg ? On our crazy , stubborn and eccentric Greg ? What the hell guys , like you didn’t know him !”
“You’re right , Nicky , Sara here told us the same thing “
“So , have you seen him ?”
“No , we haven’t seen him yet , he’s in the ICU ”
“So , guys let’s wait and hope for the best , we need to do this for him ”
...
Okay , see ? I didn't let you at a major cliffhanger ... please r&r

Ch 10 Hope
There are twenty four hours until Sara , Catherine and the others will be allowed to see their buddy . Damn ! So much time ….anything can happen .
Those words were in the every CSI mind .
“So , Nick , we were thinking at a party for yours and Greg’s return . What do you think ?” Catherine said .
“Wow , this will be wonderful , amazing .. I think he’ll love this as much as I do ” he answered .
“Yeah … but we haven’t decided about the music yet … you two guys have opposite tastes in music ”
“I can’t stand that morbid thing he calls music ”
“And he hate your country . So what shall we chose ?”
“Something that will combine our both tastes …. Dance ”
“Yeah , you’re right . And we need to order a cake … what’s your favorite flavor ?”
“Mine ? Vanilla”
“And Greg loves chocolate so much … A double cake , one part vanilla cream , the other chocolate , is this okay ?” Sara asked .
“Yeah , is fine . I just want out from hospital …” Nick said .
“You’ll leave in two days , I talked to your doctor”
“Thank you Grissom ”
“Twenty three hours” Warrick spoke , looking at his watch .
“Yeah …I hope everything will be alright ” Nick said .
“Everything will be just fine , trust me , I know Greg very well ” Grissom told them “he’s a fighter , a real one”
“Yes , we have our own hero at the lab …. ” Catherine let a tear fall down her cheek .”I just hope there will be no scars from the torture ”
“Yeah me too “
“When I saw him … so badly injured .. this was the first time when I understood how much I’ll miss him” Sara said .”he’s just like Tony.. ”
“Your brother name is Tony , right ?”
“Yeah , Michael Anthony . Tony for short . I’ve never seen him since I left San Francisco …”
“Wow .. five years …I haven’t seen my sisters for ten years , I think . ”
“Wow , Nick , so much time ?”
“Yeah .. too busy with work .”
“I’ll give you a vacation to go and see them ” Grissom said .
“Thanks , man I owe you .”
“Have you talked with Brass ?” Sara asked .
“Yeah , they took the bodies of Jonathan Wilder and Bobby Dawson ”
“I never thought at Bobby like a criminal , really , he was a good person”
“No , he looked like one . He was a murderer , a bastard . He was a bastard who tried to kill us , Greg , just for an idiot revenge .”
“Yeah , but let put the bad things behind and think at the future ”
“May we enter ?” someone asked at the door .
“Yes , of course , Archie , Wendy , come in” Sara said them .
“Hey , Nick , how are you doing ?”
“Fine , thanks Archie .”
“So , how is Greg ?” Wendy asked .
“He looks terrible I guess , the doctors lost him several times , but know he’s in a coma . ”
“But he’s going to wake up , isn’t he ?” the DNA lab tech asked .
“Yeah , he’s too crazy to die , he’ll scare even the death .” they laughed .
…………………
“There are two more hours until ..” Warrick said .
They were all thinking at how Greg will look … they saw him bleeding and covered in dirt , but they couldn’t realize very well how bad were really the injuries .
The two hours passed quickly . They were looking at the watch , hoping that in any minute a
Doctor will come and tell them to go see their friend .
“Guys , you can go in to see Greg Sanders ” a nurse told them .
A smile was on everybody’s face . They entered slowly in Greg’s room . They were afraid of what they could see .
After they opened the door , they looked at the bed where Greg’s body was lying . The view was horrible .
Greg looked very bad . His had was wrapped in a bandage , like almost all his body . The perfusions , there were three in his right hand , because the left one was hurt and putted in a cast. They remembered how . The gunshot .
They looked further on his body . His face was a mess , many cuts , not deep but probably painful were let to heal without bandages Bruises all over. He had no shirt .
In his mouth there were tubes that kept him alive and helped him breath . The biggest part of his chest was bandaged and the part let free showed bruising from the beat they gave him . The stabbings and whippings . All the memories were returning . All they saw on that tape , all the sounds were real . And now they knew that .
“Sweetie …” Catherine whispered .
They approached his bed . They saw his heart beatings on the monitor . They could hear his breathing , the beeping on the machines .
Sara took his hand in hers and hold it tightly . She never wanted to let him go . Never again . Catherine hugged Warrick . Grissom took Nick to see Greg .
“Oh my God , poor guy !” Nick said , seeing Greg’s lifeless face .
They just sat there and looked at their crazy and full of life friend , who was now lying in a hospital bed , into a coma with a possibility to never wake up .
But they prayed every moment when they waited that God let him live , never giving up , hoping , because hope was the only thing left .
Greg , the most innocent guy in all crime lab has been kidnapped , the person who was always laughing , who told them so many jokes , who was like a little brother for them the crazy sweet and cute Greg, had been whipped , stabbed , shot , blown up , beaten ,almost killed , and all of this because of a man’s wish for revenge . A sick man’s game .
And now this guy’s life was in the hands of a very cruel thing ; that thing was call faith .

Ch 11 Waking up
They’ve been five days since the moment they saw Greg after the rescue . That image remained in their mind forever .
Seeing Greg like that was a big hit for them ; the only time he had been injured was in that lab explosion , and then he only had bandages on his back and neck . But now … now all his body was wrapped in bandages , he was connected to machines that kept him alive .. he depended on those thing , what was weird , because he had never depend on anybody . Sara , Nick and the others felt awful .
At the hospital was always one of them , the others were at the lab working the new cases and they were calling him at every five minutes to see if there were any news on Greg . But every time they were disappointed , because his condition haven’t improved at all . The only thing that has changed was the fact that Greg’s condition was now stable . He wasn’t critical any more . That meant that the chances to never wake up has increased , which were the best news they got in the last days .
Today Catherine was at the hospital . In Greg’s room was very quiet , the only things that anyone could heard were the machines and Catherine walking all over the room .
She sat on the chair near his bed and took his good hand in hers . Then she whispered
“Come on , Greg , please , wake up soon , I’m begging you , we miss you so much every day . Everybody ask about you , they want to know how are you , they want to laugh at your jokes … the lab is not the same without you , is so sad … ” tears started to fall down her cheeks . ”We need you so much , sweetheart , we miss you so much … I want to see your pretty eyes soon , please , I want to hear your voice , to see you wearing those crazy shirts , your hair …even Hodges asked how are you , so you’d better wake up , okay ?”
No answer from Greg .
“Miss , if you don’t mind , I need to see how Mr. Sanders is doing , could you step out for a few minutes ?”
“Of course , take your time” and she left .
She waited almost twenty minutes until the doctor came out of Greg’s room .
“Ms . Willows ? ” the doctor said
“Something wrong ?” she asked , worried
“Au contraire , much better than expected ”
“Really ?” she asked smiling hopefully .
“Yeah , we’ll get him out of machines .”
“What ? He’s breathing on his own ?”
“Yes his condition has improved in the last days , we are amazed ” the doctor smiled .
“So , he’s going to wake up soon ?”
“Yes , I think so . Anytime in the next four days .”
“Thank you . Thank you so much …”
She took out her cell phone and quickly called Grissom . She told him all about Greg . After she hang up , the others entered the lab and saw Grissom smiling happy .
“Hey , Griss , what happened ?” Warrick asked .
“News”
“Good or bad ?” Sara said .
“Take a guess ”
“Looking at our luck those days ….when he will wake up ?” Nick demanded .
“In the next four days .”
“Oh my God , this is wonderful !” Sara yelled and hugged Nick .
They were happy . Their prayer became true .
“Let’s go to the hospital ” Grissom said .
“But the case …”
“Let the dead rest in peace , we need to see the living ones !”
They went to the hospital with Grissom’s car . Nick drove carefully , even if his mind was at Greg . Everyone was thinking at Greg . What will he say when he’ll wake up ? Who will be with him when he’ll open his eyes ? There will be scares from the torture ?
All of them asked himself those questions , not knowing what the answer is .They hoped that everything will be fine , Greg will return quickly to work and they will forget that those horrible things have even happened .
But Greg wasn’t awake yet .
“Catherine , how is he ?” they asked seeing her out of the hospital .
“I was waiting for you guys , they moved him in another room now ”
“I want to see him” Sara spoke .
“Let’s enter ”
…………..
Grissom opened the door and the girls went first . They breathed in relief because there was no machine that should keep Greg alive .
Then CSI team just sat on the bed near Greg’s and looked at him . The bandage on his head was gone , like some that were on his hand and chest . The bruises were looking better now , but his face was still so lifeless .
His eyes closed , no machines to help him live , he looked like dead . But he wasn’t and he wasn’t going to die .
….
They stayed there all the night wanted to see Greg waking up . This was their powerful wish , the one who kept them sane .
Warrick was now in the room , the others were down to take a breakfast . He turned his eyes from Greg’s form to look into the mirror and after that he saw something that make him rise on his feet . Greg moved his hand .
“Greg ?” he asked .
The young man moved his hand more , he tried to open his eyes . Warrick wasn’t sure if it was real or he was dreaming . He heard a little groan from his friend , so he run out of the room .
“A doctor ! I need a doctor !” he yelled on the hallway .
All the hospital heard him . Two nurses and a doctor rushed in Greg Sanders’ room , closing the door behind them , letting Warrick to wait outside .
The others heard Warrick’s voice and hurried to Greg’s room . But they weren’t let to enter and they saw the black man on a chair in the waiting room .
“Rick , what happened ?” Sara asked .
“He’s waking …” he said” he’s waking up ” he answered , a little dazed .
“What ? Oh my God …”
This was the best news they received . They could think now at the welcome back party , at the cake , the music. Greg was okay , so everything bad passed . They just waited to be told that Greg can go home and he is alright .
The doctor went out .
“Hey , doc , how is Greg ?” Nick asked .
“He’s waking up ” he answered “I need that you’ll be the first he see , you are his friends , I don’t want him to scare or something like that ”
“Of course …”
When they get in , Greg had just opened his eyes . He saw them but he didn’t smile .
“Hey , Greg , how are you doing ?” Catherine asked .
“Yeah , glad you woke up , G , we missed you ” Nick said .
Greg was looking at them in a very strange way . They started to worry . He was angry on them ? He was happy ? They couldn’t tell .
“Greg , what’s wrong ?”
He looked dazed and he opened his mouth to talk
“Who are you ?” he asked .

Then CSI team just sat on the bed near Greg’s and looked at him . The bandage on his head was gone , like some that were on his hand and chest . The bruises were looking better now , but his face was still so lifeless .

“Yeah , glad you woke up , G , we missed you ” Nick said .
Greg was looking at them in a very strange way . They started to worry . He was angry on them ? He was happy ? They couldn’t tell .
“Greg , what’s wrong ?”
He looked dazed and he opened his mouth to talk
“Who are you ?” he asked .
