Chapter 1
(Greg)
We were all sitting in the break room. Waiting for Grissom to show up, and tell us what we are going to do tonight.
Grissom walked inside the room with Ecklie right behind him, Grissom sat down in one of the chairs.
The first thing coming to my mind was that someone had done something wrong or we would get a new team member.
"Do you all remember the competition all the teams where with in from this lab, about a month ago?" Grissom asked looking around the room, looking at all of us, we all nod our heads yes.
"Well it looks like you guys won, there will be a buss picking you up out in front of the lab tomorrow at 5 pm, you are all going on a two weeks vacation." Said Ecklie I could hear the irritation in his voice. He turned around and left the room.
We were all sitting staring at Grissom I for sure didn't believe him.
"Is it true?" asked Catherine looking over at Grissom.
"Yes it is, we are going to stay in a cabin up north out to the water, and we can just get it settled now that the rooms are all alike except one there is an extra bed, so all of you will get the normal room so there want be any fights." Said Grissom
"I can't go" said Sara looking a bit sad she got up from her chair and walked to the door.
"Sure you can the lab are paying and giving you the vacation time off" said Grissom, every one was looking at Sara to see that she would say.
"I can't" said Sara again and left the room.
"I will go talk to her" I said; getting up to leave the room and looked around to see if I could find Sara after some time I went out side to look and there she was sitting on the cold ground with her bag up against the wall.
"Hey" I said sitting down beside her, I took her hand in mine it was a little cold out here and she looked like she was freezing.
"Hi" she said back she was looking down at the ground.
"Why don't you want to come, I will be fun" I asked her.
"It's not like I don't want to I just can't go" she said looking over at me a sad smile on her face.
"Why?" I asked her again "My brother died 3 weeks ago, and he left his daughter for me to look after, I can't just leave her with a stranger for two weeks because we won a vacation" Sara said with tears running down her cheeks.
I got up and kneeled down in front of her and drayed her tears away with my thumb and when took her in my arms "How old is she?" I asked her smiling down at her.
"Four, I can't leave her Greg" Sara said again.
"Why don't we ask Grissom if you can get the room with the extra bed and when you can bring her with you" I told her, trying to get her to come with the rest of us for two weeks of fun.
"Then Catherine will probably want to have Lindsay with too" said Sara looking me in the eyes.
"Lets just ask, okay?" I asked taking her hand and helping her to her feet "Okay" she said back and we walked back inside the lab together.
When we got back inside Grissom was ready to jump in our heads, but Catherine stopped him "We thought you guys got lost" said Catherine.
"So are you coming with us or not?" asked Grissom. I think he is angry, I said something before Sara got her self in trouble.
"She will come on one condition, she will get the room with the extra bed" said I looking over at Grissom.
"Why? There are others of us there want the big room too" said Catherine looking over at Sara giving her, her best death stare.
"Catherine is right, you will get a room like the others" said Grissom. Sara got back up from her chair and left the room faster then any one could say trip.
"What is wrong with her?" asked Catherine.
"Her brother just died Catherine, what is what's wrong" I said; why did I just say that, what if Sara doesn't want them to know?
"Oh God, why havened she said anything to anyone?" Catherine asked looking over at me the rest of the guys were just looking at Catherine and me talking.
"She has had a lot to do, like taking care of her four year old niece" I told Catherine.
"Is that why she want the big room?" asked Nick.
"Yes she doesn't want to leave her with a stranger for so long, I'm sure you wouldn't do that to Lindsay, maybe you could bring her with too" I said looking at every one in the room.
"I don't think so; we are not going on vacation to bring screaming kids with us" said Grissom, every body in the room turned around to look at him.
"What ever you like it or not we are taking them with us, we can always share the rooms, I guess we would have had to any way, since Brass and Sofia are coming to, and I don't think there are that many rooms in the cabin" said Catherine turning around looking at me.
"Go tell her she can bring her little girl" Catherine told me almost sending me out the door. I walked down the hall way and inside the locker room finding are sitting on the bench with her head in her hands.
"Hi sweetie" I said walking over and sitting down besides her taking her in my arms.
"So what did they say?" she asked looking up at me.
"You can bring her and Catherine is bringing Lindsay" I said smiling down at her, and she smiled back.
