The Distance

Rating: PG

Pairing: Warrick/Sara

Notes: For the LiveJournal CSI100 Bon Jovi title challenge.

 

Warrick knows the geography of Las Vegas, knows how far away they are from Desert Palm Hospital.

 

He could be there in minutes, but he's frozen in place, kneeling beside Sara, cradling her in his arms, one of her hands in his. Her eyes are wide and scared, her face growing ever paler as the dark stain on her shirt grows.

 

"You're going to be fine," he tells her, and she grimaces..

 

"No I'm not," she whispers, and he knows she's right. 

 

The distance between here and Desert Palm isn't even five miles.

 

It might as well be five hundred.
