I've come in early tonight, because I want to go through the reports from last night. Two cases, one still open, but that will only be a matter of time. As soon as the last lab results are back and they support the theory that Warrick and Sara have, it will be a closed case as well.
So far it looks like it will be a slow night in Vegas. Only one new case has come in so far. It's probably for the best as well. There's still so much paperwork waiting for me, so much that needs to be finished. And I am not the only one who is behind. Sara has at least four reports that need to be looked over before the end of the week.
I can't help chuckle a little, thinking that she will not be very pleased with me. This is the one part of the job that she doesn't like. Just like me.
"What's so funny?"
My head snaps up. Busted. Sara is standing in my door, looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing" I try to look as innocent as possible. "So how's the case going?" I need to change the subject.
"We're still waiting on the report from Greg. But it looks pretty solid."
She comes into my office and closes the door. She looks serious. An uncomfortable feeling settles in my stomach. Is she having second thoughts about last night? After all those weeks of twirling around each other, last night we finally expressed our love for one another and after that we kissed. But before we were able to talk some more, Sara was paged by Warrick and left to follow a lead. This is the first time we're in a room together since our ´revelation`.
Sara walks over to my desk, leans over, resting on her hands and says softly: "I missed you!"
I swallow the lump in my throat as relief comes over me. . I put my hand on top of hers. "I missed you too Sara." She rewards me with her big smile. I love that smile.
"We should go to the break room. The rest of the guys are waiting for us," she says, never breaking eye contact.
"Right.work!" How am I going to get through this shift, I have no idea.
We head towards the break room. "You're late" Catherine says as we enter. She looks suspiciously at me.
Trying to avoid her questioning eyes, I shoot back: "Sue me."
Nick comes to my rescue. "So what do you have for us boss?"
"Not much, Nick. You and Catherine have a 401A." I hand the slip with the details of location to Catherine.
"Looks like a double. Two victims. Great, I hate hit and runs." Catherine isn't thrilled.
"Well, there are worse things to do. Come on, let's go."
"Warrick," I continue while Nick and Catherine get ready to leave, "You need to finish the case from last night. Sara told me that you're waiting for the lab results."
"Yeah. And when they confirm our theory, then all we need to do is call Brass to pick up our suspect."
"Right. Well, if that's all, then I don't see any reason for Sara to help you."
Sara looks up at me, anticipation written all over her face. "So what do you have for me then?" she asks.
I clear my throat. " No case, but we do need to catch up on our paperwork."
"What?! You've got to be kidding me. Paperwork!" She's mad.
"Ha," Nick laughs out loud. "You see Catherine? There's definitely one thing that's worse than hit and runs: Paperwork!"
Catherine shakes her head, knowing that he's got her there. "Let's go," she says as she heads down the hall.
"Come on, Sara, you know it's a part of the job." I try to smooth talk her. "I don't like it either, but we have to get this done."
She looks less mad, I think it's working.
"All right then," she gives in. "Lets get it over with."
Warrick chuckles as he leaves the break room. "Have fun, guys." And then he's gone, the coward!
"Ahmm, do you want to go through it in the evidence room?"
Sara sighs. "Sure, why not. But you're going to pay for this, Grissom!" she adds threateningly.
"How about I cook you breakfast? Would that make you forgive me?" I look at her with pleading eyes.
She shoots me a mischievous smile. "Maybe. We'll just have to wait and see."
