Here's the sequel :
From smile to tears

“Grissom , you know you can’t tell this to Greg , right ? ” Nick whispered “he’s happy now , I don’t want him to worry , please !”

“He will find out someday , Nick”

The Texan just looked full of hope into his boss’ eyes , pleading him not to tell Greg; obviously he knew that Grissom will listen to him . He won .

“But , Griss , if we’ll catch the bastard , he doesn’t have to know .”

“You know he let a letter at the scene ?”

“Somehow you are going to read this , CSIs , so I just wanted to let you know you must protect that little bastard , because I’m out to get him”

“Oh hell … I didn’t know ‘bout this . Think he’ll comply the promise ?”

“I really wish not , but after what we seen … I’m more than sure he’ll do it . Anyway , we have to protect Greg with all that we have , because I don’t want him to get hurt again by the psycho …”

“Do the girls know about this ?”

“No , I’ll call them and tell them . But you stay here and take care Greg finds out nothing .”



Greg and Gail entered the lab , holding hands . They’ve been dating for three days and Greg wanted to ask her marry him , because he was truly in love . In love with the most amazing girl in the world , in love with an angel . Gail was his world , his universe ; he couldn’t imagine life without her and neither could she . They made a wonderful couple , because the love was making their relationship strong , stronger day by day . Greg even bought a diamond ring . He wanted to propose her the next day ,in front of all lab .

Gail loved him very much too and she was showing him this in the most beautiful ways possible . She knew about everything that happened to him and was helping him to get over it ; he was having some nightmares and she was there to calm him , to listen to him . She considered Greg a hero because he never told her when he was feeling bad , he was going through everything without exteriorizing , which was amazing .

So they were entering the lab ; he opened the door for her and they stepped in , laughing at something . When the techs and CSIs saw Greg laughing like the old times , they felt like smiling too . Everybody changed since the incident .

“Hey guys , watcha doin’ here ?” he asked the boys who were in the break room “another break ?” he laughed .

“Baby , I’m going to change and start to work , okay ?” Gail kissed him and then left .

“Well , how is it going , Casanova ? see you got the girl when are we hearing the bells ?” Warrick asked with his usual humor .

“Dunno … I’ll probably propose to her tomorrow … and the wedding in one week … why ?”

“For nothing … she’s hot man , but you know this , don’t you ?”

“Oh yeah , but she’s my girl , so back off “he joked .



“Hey Cath , Sara” Gail greeted smiling all the time “how are you doing ?”

“We are fine , but I see you’re far more better than me ” Catherine looked at her “so , when is the wedding ?”

“We are dating for THREE weeks !”

“So ? you like each other for months !”

“Well .. he haven’t proposed me yet …”

“Okay , I give up !”

“Of course you do .”

“Anyway , here is my guns and bullets , can you … ?”

“Course , Sara. Anything for you . ”

….

Greg was in his break after solving the case . He entered the lab and saw his girlfriend still working on a gun , probably a 45 .

“Hey , Gail , can you take a break , you don’ look so good .”

“I think I’m a little tired . That’s all ”

She rose to her feet and saw black before her eyes and felt the need to sit back .Greg worries increased watching her .

“You really don’t look good , you should rest ”

“Nah , I’m feeling fine . Probably I’m tired I’ll pass . ”

Her face was white like the coat she was wearing , she was shaking terribly and sweating . clearly she wasn’t okay . She was trying to get up again and this time succeeded .

“I’m fine . ”

“You sure ? you don’t look that fine to me …”

“I feel okay , look Grissom wants to see you . He’s with the guys in the break room”

“K , but I’ll return in a sec . ”



“What , Grissom ? Something wrong ?”

“You solved the case ?”

“Yeah, here’s the file ”

Greg saw Gail stepping out of the lab , obviously coming in their direction . He was still worried about her , and watched her closely . At the middle of the corridor , he saw she starting trembling . She closed her eyes and then he realized she was going to pass out . He jumped over the table and ran to catch her before she’d hit her head on the floor .

He caught her and took her in his arms . What was wrong with his girlfriend ?

….

I really wanted to make a sequel to A sick man’s game . I really hope you’ll like the story line .

Please read and review !
 
It’s Never Over

"Gail? Gail answer me, please! Gail?" Greg asked his girlfriend, worried as hell. "Baby, are you okay?"

"Greg, what happened?" Sara asked.

"I don’t know …Call an ambulance-why are you staying there like that!" He yelled, frustrated. "Come on, Gail, just answer me, please. Gail wake up." He slapped her lightly across the face, but there was no answer. He was trembling and couldn’t take his eyes off her.

They had never seen him like that, like he was crazy. Yelling at them to call for the ambulance again and taking her pulse every second. The ambulance arrived soon and began to load her. Greg looked anxiously at Grissom, pleading silently to go with her. His boss nodded, and he followed her.

"What wrong with her?" he asked the paramedic, but he didn’t get an answer. Everyone was quiet, and they climbed in the ambulance. The doctor took her pulse, and yelled to her assistant to give her something, but Greg couldn’t hear anything, he was in another world.

"Is she going to die? Please tell me she isn’t going to die." he asked, scared and shaking.

"I don’t know, Mr. . All that I’m trying to do here is to bring her at the hospital alive, do you understand? I can’t promise you anything, but she’ll probably be okay."



The CSIs were left standing there dazed and looking at each other with frightened eyes.

"What was wrong with Gail?" Nick broke the silence, as usual.

"I don’t know … but I have a suspicion." Sara replied.

"Oh God, hopefully it’s just that. " Catherine breathed.

"I was thinking of something more different, more diabolical." Warrick looked around.

"What Warrick, what are you thinking?"

"Well … Hodges is out of jail, right? What if, if, well he promised he’ll get his revenge on Greg, didn’t he?"

"Oh my God, Warrick, I really hope your wrong, you know, this can’t be real … let’s go to the hospital to see what’s wrong with Gail, if Grissom agrees, of course." Catherine said quietly.

"Of course he would. He’s not that heartless!" Sara spoke with confidence. "Griss? Can we go to the hospital to see Gail?" She looked at him pleadingly.

"What?" He looked like he just woke up from a nightmare. "Ah, of course, go on. Maybe I’ll come later, I don’t know."

"Alright, let’s go guys. See ya later, Gil."

….

"Mr. Sanders, you’re here for Ms. Carter?"

"Yes. Please, how is she?"

"You’re her boyfriend or lover or fiancé?" The doctor took a deep breath before talking, seeing Greg nod.

"Her fiancé." The CSI spoke with obvious pride in his voice.

"She suffered a toxic intoxication with an unknown chemical."

"What? How?"

"We surely have no idea … What do you think, where is she working?"

"At LVPD, the crime lab. She’s a firearm technician. She has no interaction with the chemicals from the lab."

"But there is the side effect of the intoxication …"

"Side effect?"

"Yes, I’m sorry Mr. Sanders, but.."



"Hey Greg," Nick greeted his friend. "Greg, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing, nothing at all! "The young CSI yelled. "Everything is just fine, can’t you see how happy I am?" He was definitely angry.

"Don’t yell at me, Greg, okay?"

"Sorry … it’s just …. "

"No problem, bro, but yell me-us what happened, what’s wrong with Gail?"

"She … suffered an intoxication with a chemical!" He said. "How is this possible?"

"She doesn’t have anything to do with Trace or DNA. Yeah, how the hell did this happen? I hate it when I don’t know the answer!"

"Everybody does, Warrick, everybody does."

They remained quiet seeing the worry on Greg’s face. They were all thinking the same thing-would the poisoning Gail suffered bring back his memories? They all hoped not.

"So, when can we see her?"

"Now."

"Well, let’s go."

"Okay." He stood and followed them to the room she was in, although it looked to the rest of the team like Greg didn’t know anything.

"Hey, Gail…" Catherine whispered." How are you feeling, sweetie?"

"Hey, guys … Greg." She smiled. "I’m fine, thank you."

After five minutes, seeing that Greg wanted to talk to Gail alone, they left with the excuse that there were cases to solve. But Gail knew better.

"So...now we’re alone."

"Yeah, finally." Gail replied with a soft smile on her lips.

"I...I really want to tell you something...but I really don’t know how..."

"Simple and clear, baby."

"Okay." He kneeled before her. "My pretty Gail Carter, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"What?" She looked into his eyes. "You want to marry me?"

"Yes, what do you say? Will you? Only if you want, of course."

"I think I could maybe manage to live with you." She whispered. "But you’ll have to get used to having crazy me around, you know."

"Absolutely! But your answer?"

"Yes, I love you with all my heart. I will marry you, of course, I love you!" She pulled him to the bed and kissed him.

"I love you too, more than you can ever imagine."

"I have a feeling I’ll find out..."

…….

"You’re happy, aren’t you? After all that you’re happy...I’ll make you even happier...you found a girl who likes you, I never thought someone could like you. But I know all the things you’re afraid of, and I will make your life a living hell, just like you did to me. I’ll make you regret with all of your being that you testified against me at the tria . I’ll make you wish you would have died because of the blood you lost. Believe me, Sanders, you’ll pay with every second of your fucking life all that you did to me, you and all the others...Warrick who killed her, Catherine, Grissom, Nick who had the guts to laugh about me all the time and Sara … your sufferance will be my revenge, your torture will be my satisfaction, your lives will be my prize...and I am not in any hurry for the prize. I’ll hit you in the most sensible parts of your beings, to make you see that you shouldn’t have messed with me, with David Hodges...I’m not the idiot you said I am, I’ll be your punishment, your angel of death...take great care, CSIs, take great care..."

… Dark, wasn’t it? hope you enjoyed...Please R&R!
