Re: CSI LV fic "A sick man's game" Greg centered drama/suspe
Ch 15 It’s all coming back to me now
Greg entered Hodges’s lab , Grissom asked him to go there to take the evidence for the latest case , with a rapist that killed his victims after abusing them .
“Hey , what do you have for me ?” Greg asked , smiling slightly .
“Well , Greg , the DNA in your case wasn’t a match to the suspect , but I have some alleles in common . I think it was a brother or a son . ”
“Thank you , David .”
“You’re welcome .”
Greg left the lab and headed to Grissom’s office , but no one was there , so he went to the break room . There he saw Grissom and Sara kissing .
“Hey , guys . Here your evidence Griss.” He handed the paper to Grissom , after he broke the kiss .”We have no evidence that can place this guy to the scene , but …”
“But … what ?”
“Epithelial on the murder weapon … a brother or a son .”
“That’s good .
“Yeah , but what do we know about the victim ?”
“Greg , you look like you remembered how to work in the lab . You know the procedure , the DNA analysis …”
“Yes , I think I remembered , I don’t know when , but I just woke up I knew how to do it . I think it’s a good sign , isn’t it . ”
“But you remember us ?”
“I don’t know it’s foggy , I can’t … I think I remembered but I just don’t see any memories with you from my past … sorry .”
“It’s okay , Greg , it’s okay .” Nick put his hand on his shoulder “you are going to remember , I’m sure of it ”
“I hope so” Greg said disappointed .”I want so much to remember the things with you …”
They saw Ecklie entering the lab .
“Sanders , I need to talk to you !”
“Of course , sir” he said and after Ecklie left , he asked them “who the hell is he ?”
“He’s our supervisor . C’mon , I’m coming with you” Grissom said .
“Thanks”
They left together and entered Grissom’s office , where Ecklie was standing on a chair and looking at a tarantula . Grissom took the animal from his hand .
“So ,Sanders , I understand you don’t know who you are ?”
“No , sir , I suffer from amnesia ”
“A , that’s right , I forgot . So , let’s talk about what do you remember . I understood that you don’t know who are your colleagues .”
“No ,sir , I know who my colleagues are , I just don’t have memories with them .”
“Alright , then . But what do you remember ?”
“What I remember ? ”
“Yeah”
“Well , I know why I am amnesiac , I was kidnapped” he put his hand on his head “whipped , stabbed , shot , beaten ” the pain became more intense “and almost burned alive ” he tried to approach a chair and Grissom helped him .
“Greg , are you okay ?” the boss asked , very worried .
“Yeah , the headache again .” Greg spoke with his voice trembling like hell .
“So , what else do you remember ?” Ecklie asked , indifferent from what had just happened .
“Leave him alone , Conrad , for God’s sake , he is going to pass out here and all you care is those fuckin memories !”
“I….I’m okay Grissom , really , I’m fine . ”
“So ,please answer my question !”
“What else I remember … yeah , I remembered Hodges , and I have some flashbacks with Bobby … ”
“So , because you don’t know anything about this lab or the work , I suggest you to leave ”
“What ?1” Grissom yelled “this is his last chance to have his memories back and you fire him ? How can you be such a bastard ?”
“Calm down , Gil , or you are leaving with him .”
“What , you’ll fire me too ? What is this lab going to do without us ? And I want you to know that Greg remembered perfectly how to work in the lab and in the field ”
Greg closed his eyes , feeling very dizzy . The room was spinning around him , so he putted his head in his hands . He felt sick , but he couldn’t stand up . He started shaking violently , his eyes widened in shock and he remembered something .
“Congratulations Sanders” Ecklie said .
Grissom and Greg shake hands.
” Thank you.” Greg remembered that he said .
In the doorway, Catherine holds up a bottle of champagne while the others hold
their glasses. They’re waiting for Greg.
Greg goes to join them. He rushes over and they hand him his glass.
”Cheers. To you.”
“G-grissom … I r-remembered y-you …” Greg spoke , after other flashbacks came into his mind .
“What ?”
“I remembered you all … and the … my … proficiency ….” He started trembling .
“Greg , are you okay ?” Grissom became worried .
“Yeah , I-I know about you guys … ” he smiled “part of my memories came back”
“What happened to him ?” Ecklie asked , worried for the first time .
“This happen always when he remembers something ”
Greg was trembling uncontrollably and felt the need to pass out .
“Greg , talk to me , okay ?” Grissom said .”are you okay ?”
“Yeah … I know you … I remembered all of you…. ” his voice was trembling too .
“You know me ?”
“Yeah …. You are 50 years old , you are forensic entomologist …. You suffer from otosclerosis … your mother was deaf …am I right ?” he asked .
“Yeah , Greg , oh my God , you remembered ….” Grissom smiled .”tell me what you remember about the others , if you’re up to ”
“I am feeling fine . About who do you want to tell you ?”
“Let’s go in the break room .Come on Conrad .”
They entered the break room , where all the team was talking . Greg looked at them smiling . He sat on a chair followed by Grissom and the supervisor .
“Good news and bad news.” Greg spoke
“What ?” Nick asked .
“Well , I know about you , guys , my memories are back… ”
“When ?”
“Minutes ago .”
“You’ve got to be kidding me … in a few minutes you remembered all about us ?”
“Let’s not exaggerate …. I know some things about your life … and my life in the lab .. ”
“Well , let’s try you . What do you know about me ?” Catherine asked .
“Cat , you hate to be called like that , I know – God , I feel good when I say I know – you have a daughter born in ’92 , your husband , ex husband is dead – car accident – your dad is Sam Braun , casino owner “
“Well , I see you remembered . What about myself ?” Nick asked .
“You are born in … Texas , right ?” Nick nodded “you have five sisters and a brother ?”
“Yeah . Go on .”
“You had a stalker … Crane … I don’t remember his first name ”
“Nigel Crane ”
“Yeah , that’s right . And you were kidnapped and buried alive by Gordon..”
“Walter Gordon.”
“So , you know us all , Greg , is good to have you back . But what’s the bad news ?”
“Well … you can’t play with me anymore , I know you now ….” He laughed .
“So Ecklie ,when do you want me and Greg to leave ?? ”
“What ?!” Nick yelled .
“What leaving ? I didn’t say anything about someone leaving ” Ecklie said , and went out , leaving them to enjoy the new day .
….
But someone was not pleased that Greg remembered .
“This can’t be possible . That bastard can’t remember … if he will recognize me as the one who tortured him ? Is good that he knows that Jon played with him , but for how long ? Because , if he will say anything about me , I will kill him … I can’t be caught .,. I’ll do anything to get revenge on this idiots who don’t even look at me …they will pay .. ” he thought and laughed in the shadow .
