First chapter: Prologue.
Grissom walked through the corridor, when he heard music. A guitar, a strangely familiar voice, even drums and piano. He silently entered the break room, not quite believing what was going on.
Sara, sitting on the floor, legs crossed, was singing, "Do you know" from Enrique Iglesias. Catherine was singing second voice, and Nick, playing drums, Warrick, keyboard, and Greg with his guitar, were background.
While there was a tiny break, Sara started pointing at people, unable to see Grissom. Jim came standing in the opening of the door, next to Grissom, also confused.
'Cath, you remain what you were doing, guys, you keep up the second voice, OK?' everyone nodded as the last part began.
"Do you know what it feels like, loving someone, that's in a rush to throw you away?
Do you know what it feels like, to be the last one, to know the lock on the door has changed?"
This part was sang by the guys, while Catherine went on with: "Do you know, do you know, do you know, do you?"
Sara, she went through both of the teams with: "Do you know how it feels?" after the part: what it feels like, and after the end of each sentence, she did it four times. After that, the music played on, and only two sentences were said.
"Do you know, do you know, do you know, do you?"
Music.
'Do you know do you know, do you know, do you?"
And the music threw in their ending, and the song was finished. Ecklie had also been listening, an angry look on his face, as the others were laughing and hugging each other.
'Wow, we were in top shape today!' Sara yelled out.
'Sara, Sara, Sara!' the others started exclaiming, and Sara stood up and bowed while the others yelled.
'Ahem?' they all looked up. Ecklie came in, Jim and Grissom were still not moving. Catherine noticed that Sara shot a swift look at Grissom before turning to Ecklie.
'Yes?'
'What the hell do you think you're doing?' Ecklie was clearly pissed. Apparently the lab workers were distracted. Not…Grissom thought. He just wants a reason to punish her.
He hates her. I love her. No I don't. Yes I do.
Wow...
Where the hell did that come from?
'OK, let me explain. These things here are music instruments; people use them to make music. You got that? Then, there's a person who sings. People call him or her a singer. Together, they're a music group. We are a music group.'
The others laughed about what Sara was talking about, even Griss did, but Ecklie only got even more pissed off.
'This is a room to eat your lunch, not to do anything else, Sidle!' Ecklie yelled.
'Yes, but I read the rules, a hundred times, and it doesn't say anything about not being allowed to do other stuff. As long as we do not break the windows of the break room with heavy metal, we're allowed to make music here, as well as anywhere else.'
She stood up and slapped hands with the others without even looking at Ecklie again. Grissom was having trouble keeping a laugh inside. It would be totally not him to laugh about this, but Sara pissing Ecklie off and getting away with it was giving him a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time. Real Joy.
'Woooh! You totally did that thing, Sara!' The others were cheering for her, as she smiled and waved and pretended to be a worldwide famous singer.
'That was…' Grissom said, trying to find words. Sara turned to him and she totally paralyzed him with that look in her eyes that only he could see. Before anyone could see them both struggling with both words and feelings, Catherine called out:
'That was just the best thing you've ever seen!' The others yelled out, it was like a celebration. Sara smiled, but didn't move her gaze, and kept it focused on Grissom's face.
In the tumult the others didn't nobody saw that Sara was not cheering anymore. She was looking at Grissom, they were both just looking at each other, and that invisible connection was finally showing. Sara was shocked; Grissom was not someone to show his feelings, she found that out during the year she worked here, and yet he was exposing more than ever now?
Needless to say that Grissom was just as shocked as Sara was. Without wanting it, he showed her just how much her cared for her. Without wanting it… You did want it moron, that's what did it! He thought. It was true. The last year he spent telling himself she wouldn't be good for him, and even more about he wouldn't be good enough for her, but now he just realized, in that short moment they looked at each other when Ecklie first spoke up, that he was just the right thing for her. She showed him. And without fully knowing, his inner self realized, or even responding on what it had known for all this time, what she was silently telling him and he was responding on that.
'Guys?' Suddenly all the sounds were gone, everyone was listening to her.
'I have a good idea. Remember, my birthday is coming up.' Loud cheers.
'Quiet!' Sara laughed.
'When exactly?' Greg yelled. Nick grinned.
'Why, so you can send me an e-card? Or to drag me into a date?' She added when Greg was nodding like his head would come off. Greg blushed.
'It's May the twenty-first. The first day of spring!' she cheered, and the others clapped. Grissom realized, with the explosion of a bomb, that her birthday was one the same day as his. He had never been more glad that no one, not even Jim or Catherine, knew his birthday date.
'So, what's your idea, girl?' Catherine asked.
'I thought about a disco. Here. We'll rent a karaoke bar, and we'll have fun!' Sara smiled, as the others laughed and cheered.
'Ecklie's gonna kill you when he finds out.' Warrick warningly said, but with a smile on his face.
'I know. So, that's my second plan. If I don't show up the next day, and someone will find my dead body, you know who did it and Ecklie won't be bothering you anymore. I'll sacrifice myself.' Sara laughed.
The others laughed with her, but Grissom didn't. Even though he knew it was a joke, he felt like a knife stabbing his heart when he heard her say that. He realized, in a flash, shocked, that he already feared for her life with a joke. He shook his head. He had to get himself together; now, this stuff won't help anyone, not Sara, not himself, and not the others.
'Come around for the cases.' he called out. The rumors stirred, and some time later, everyone was back to work.
Coincidence, that Grissom and Sara had a case together. Grissom was already fearing he would shut down when he would interrogate the suspect, but things turned up good for him; Sara would go to the lab to check out all their evidence once more, and Grissom would start the interrogation.
'We got this guy hanging.' Sara said walking next to Grissom through the halls. 'The fingerprints, the blood and the skin on the knife, this guy is dead.'
Grissom nodded vaguely, he was thinking about other things. He had to fix their relationship, and fast. How he treated her the last year was terrible, she didn't deserve any of that. And the fact that he only treated her like dirt because HE was afraid of love was just horrible.
'Are you listening?' Sara asked, and looked at him. He hesitated but looked back at her, and yet again there was their connection again, clearer than ever. He had trouble staying calm and not just to kiss her right now.
'Uh, yeah, sorry.' he said, while the red crept up his cheeks. Sara grinned.
'Somewhere else with your mind again?' I know the situation.' she smiled, silently telling him he didn't have to be ashamed, and he felt relieved.
'So you go and pressure the suspect into suicide, and I'll get you the evidence.' she joked, and they parted laughing.
So, what did you think? There is more coming up, don't worry, next chapter is going to have the Honor of the first kiss.
