Chapter Two
The Unknown Party Begins
( Las Vegas National Airport )
It was four hours ago that she had received the call from her four friends that they would all be there along with the teams they had been working with for a very long time. Though what she didn't know well talking with them was that they were all going to be arriving on the same charter flight except for Calleigh's group who were coming from Miami. She had gotten three limos for each group and they were all waiting out at the south side entrance she was going to head back to the lab with Calleigh's group because she wanted to speak with her about a few things. At first, when she headed out to the airport she was going to bring Warrick along with her, but thought it was better that he stayed behind and fill their team in a bit about what was going on if he could. So with that all going on she had made it to their gate just as she saw Calleigh come out with who she believed to be Horatio Caine, Eric Delko, Alexx Wood, Ryan Wolfe, Natalia Boa Vista, Dan Cooper, Maxine Valera and Frank Tripp. Not long after she saw the other two groups following behind who she noticed was Stella Bonasera, Mac Taylor, Danny Messer, Lindsay Monroe, Sheldon Hawkes, Donald Flack, Adam Ross, Sid Hammerback, and Peyton Driscoll. Right behind them was Olivia Benson with Elliot Stabler, Fin Tutuola, John Munch, Don Cragon, and Casey Novak.
"Hey everybody, I'm so happy you could all come," Sara said, quickly hugging Calleigh, Olivia, and Stella a little bit surprised to see that they had brought everybody they worked with when they got closer and she knew that she had thought right about who they were.
She knew that Calleigh, Olivia and Stella were coming and was able to get rooms saved on the business expense for them. Who knew that she would have to use her accounts from her parents that no one knew about besides her and Warrick. At least she could finally start using the money for something that wasn't for them. So this was making her a happy person that it wouldn't all go to waste and at the same time she didn't think she would need to save it for her own kids. If she was really alive she would start putting money on the side for her right away.
"So are we," Calleigh answered, for everybody, "Plus I do hope that it's okay that we brought the rest of our team?"
"Yeah I have no problem with it… also before we introduce everybody, I think we should go to the diner for some lunch," Sara replied, leading everybody outside, "Also my team will be meeting us there and during that time I will set up some more rooms for everyone."
( Diner )
While Sara went to pick up her friends the team decided to head over to the diner they would normally eat during break times or even for an early breakfast. It took them a while to get a table that would site every one or at least have them all near each other, which was really unusual for this time of day. At least for Sara and her crew could usually get a table very quickly. They would always get the same table at the same time, so much so that the table was always reserved for them in just the time slot around dinner. The rest of the Las Vegas team was already sitting at their table, where there were a few extra seats. It had been a while since Sara had seen Calleigh, Olivia, and Stella. The last time she remembered seeing all three of them was, about a year ago. She was really happy that she was finally able to see them once again. Though she wished it was under some much better circumstances all around, especially with finally meeting everybody her friends worked with over the years. Just like how she considered everyone she worked with was a family to her instead of as a colleague. She had also heard the same from these people in how they felt about the ones they worked with closely.
"So who is everybody?" Sara asked no one in particular after everyone put in their order.
"Why don't you start?" Calleigh replied taking a long sip from her ice water.
"All right here starting from my right is, Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Nick Stokes, Greg Sanders, Jim Brass, Mia Dickerson, Mandy Webster, Wendy Simms and Sofia Curtis," Sara said even more surprised that she saw Mia, Mandy and Wendy there as well, "Your turn up next Calleigh."
"At the table right behind us to the right you have clockwise, Horatio Caine, Eric Delko, Alexx Wood, Ryan Wolfe, Natalia Boa Vista, Dan Cooper, Maxine Valera and Frank Tripp" Calleigh replied,
"How about you Olivia?"
"Well starting with my partner you have Elliot Stabler, Fin Tutuola, John Munch, Don Cragon, and Casey Novak at the table to the left of theirs," Olivia said, "Now next up is Stella."
"Well at the table to the right you have here is Mac Taylor, Danny Messer, Lindsay Monroe, Sheldon Hawkes, Donald Flack, Adam Ross, Sid Hammerback, and last but not least Peyton Driscoll" Stella replied, with a little bit of attitude when she said Peyton's name.
( Las Vegas Crime Lab )
She laughed when she thought about it, at the same time in which everybody else started to laugh. Then just before all of their meals arrived they started to get to know each other and Sara caught up with the girls. There food didn't take long to come after they thought and once they finished talking they started to eat. So they quietly ate without talking so they could get straight to business, then once everyone was finished they headed towards the crime lab. It was only about ten minutes away which made it easier since they could walk there and back. Once they got in, they all headed towards the Video/Visual lab.
Finally reaching the room it turned out that Archie Johnson was there already and was looking over all the video feeds that all four females got. On the screen, in front of him, there was a link for them to click on. Not wanting everyone to see and because they couldn't all fit, Sara had everyone but Warrick, Calleigh, Olivia and Stella stay with her. Once everyone else was in the break room she went and took Archie's seat. The other four moved and stood around her. She really didn't want to turn it on, but she knew she had to. What they saw next surprised them all.
" Hello everybody… I see you all came to Las Vegas and it is so good seeing you all together, " a voice said and they could tell that it was a male, " What … you think I can't see… well surprise I can. Sara, Calleigh, Olivia, Stella, and Warrick you all should know who this might be. "
With that, the view changed to a twenty-year-old girl. She had a lot of dark and light bruises along her face and neck with a few scratches that had a bit of blood coming from a few deeper ones. There was also what looked like a rubber bar, going lengthwise in her mouth. Along her neck going in different directions and different lengths were shallow and deep cuts bleeding a bit. Some of the deeper ones that was closer to her neckline were bleeding heavier to the point where it ran down freely to her chest. Though they couldn't see what was on the rest of her body, because of the outfit she was wearing. Her hands were chained above her head and she also had bruises and cuts on her arms. Her feet were hanging in the air about an ½ inch to an inch off the ground. This made everybody feel sick to their stomach. Everybody that the guy mentioned, thought really hard, but they couldn't figure out who she was or who she could possibly be.
" Let me guess no one knows, or can think of who it is, well let me give you a hint, all five of you were at her birth… twenty years ago, " The man said, from behind the camera they all guessed.
"No it can't be, we were told that she was dead... that she died half an hour after I birthed her because of weak lungs," Sara said jumping up off of the chair and putting her hands over both of her eyes.
Warrick put both of his hands on each shoulder holding her close. Everyone was stock still and didn't notice that the two ended up walking into the hallway. He quickly made sure she was okay and continued holding her until everyone else started moving again. After a while, everyone from her team turned towards her and Warrick with shocked looks on their faces. They had walked up to the window to make sure everything was okay still when that last fact was told.
" Well, do you guys know who her parents are? It shouldn't take you guys this long, " The voice said.
"This guy is driving me insane," Greg said, who had heard everything being said from the break room like the rest of the group, "Does anybody have, any idea who she is?"
"She's our daughter," Sara replied, leaning on Warrick.
Boy was everybody definitely surprise by that statement. No one had any idea that Sara had a child let alone was seeing Warrick. The only people who did know were Warrick, Calleigh, Olivia and Stella; they were all just as shocked but on a different level. All five of them really thought that Sara's and Warrick's daughter was dead.
"Before I go I would like to recite to you this," The man said, "I gave you her blood, now look everywhere it leads you, and you might find her... but look fast, or you might find her dead."
That's it for now. It should be getting longer real soon. Hopefully in the next few chapters or so, they will be to your liking in length. Well hope you guys liked it. Please review, good or bad.
