Mom is loose! CSI/GSR fan fiction.
I hope everyone will like it, it came in my head right before I started writing: Bad dreams. I already started on that one so this one had to wait a little bit, but I hope it's good. I'm satisfied with it.

I can't believe it. The nastiest things started, the best things worked out. I just can't believe my luck. This thing turned out so good, and it started so bad:
'Miss Sidle?' I turned to see two cops standing in her office.
Yeah, I'm Sara Sidle, what's the matter?' I answered curious.
'We're afraid we have bad news for you.' the youngest cop started uneasy. People, including Warrick, Nick and Catherine, started to look my way, surprised to see two cops standing in my office.
'Well, what is the bad news?' I asked, a little annoyed. I waved at my team, because they were still looking at me.
'We come from Clark County Detention Center…' the oldest cop said hesitatingly. I got a nasty feeling in my stomach.
'Yes, and?' I said, but I was feeling the direction it was going.
'We are sorry to tell you this, but your mom has escaped from jail, and we had to tell you before it's going to be aired on the news.' the cop said.
My mouth dropped.
The three friends had watched the cops and me talking, and they saw me sitting down in the chair, shocked, while the two cops left the office with their heads low.
'Wow! I wonder what happened?' Nick said to the others.
'Yeah, I'd like to know that!' Warrick agreed.
'I bet you guys that she's never going to tell us anything. At least not before she told Grissom.' Catherine said. The two others nodded in agreement.
´Told Grissom what?' They heard a familiar voice say behind them. They quickly turned to see Grissom standing there.
'We just saw two cops going into Sara's office,' Nick began,
´Yeah, and I don't think they had good news.' Warrick filled in.
Grissom frowned. 'Do you guys know where the conversation was about?' he asked.
'Nope!' Catherine said, 'We were sure she wasn't going to tell us about it before she told you, if she was even planning on telling us anyway.'
They turned around to my office to see her walking outside slowly.
'Hey, Sara?' Nick yelled over to her. I didn't respond. 'Sara, wait a second!' he called and ran over to me, the other three following.
I turned when she heard Nick coming, and I couldn't help smiling a little when I saw everyone coming.
'Yeah, what's up?' I said, secretly knowing what it all was about.
'You know what's up. What did the cops say?' Nick said.
'Sorry guys, can't tell you. It's a secret. Nobody is allowed to know.' I answered, looking down.
'But if it's a secret, why are you allowed to know?' Warrick asked intrigued.
'Because it's about a person I know.'
'And we don't know this person?' Catherine simply asked her.
'No, and I'm glad you don't. I don't like knowing her.' I said, and right after that I felt like hitting myself on the head.
'So, it's a female, then?' Nick asked me, with a grin on his face.
'Please, guys, just leave it here. I could get in a lot of trouble if I told you guys already. I'm sure you'll see it on the news soon enough.' I begged. I felt like crying. A little longer and she wouldn't be able to keep it a secret anymore. I sure didn't like it to keep this a secret from my best friends, not to mention from Grissom. And why didn't Grissom say anything?
Talking about him, he was just standing there, looking at me. But suddenly, he realized something.
'No.' he said, looking at me. 'You've got to be kidding.'
I looked back at him and I caught his look. 'I'm afraid I'm not. But I'm not going to tell anything anymore, just watch the news.' I started to walk away, not listening to the others protesting.
'Just let it rest!' I called over to them before running away.
'God, I hate this. I wish I was able to tell them. But they wouldn't understand and I really don't feel like explaining.' I thought, walking in the park. It was hard for me to keep my tears in. I was walking through the park, thinking about the news I just received. My mom escaped from jail. I thought deeply and suddenly I remembered. My mom was in jail because she killed my dad. At the point, I didn't really care about him dead and her away forever, 'cause they were both abusive. After that happened, I was seven years old, I came in the system. The place where they keep kids from abusive, drunk or addicted parents. A place where nobody cares about someone else. But when I grew up there, things changed.
'Why do you get to know and we don't?' Catherine said to Grissom. Grissom turned to look at her.
'That's not my fault. I suddenly remembered something she told me, and that has to do a lot with this situation.' he explained.
'So what is it that has to do a lot with this situation that you suddenly remembered her telling you?' Catherine said, all in one breath. The others looked at her in disbelief.
'God, Cath, how did you manage to say that all in one?' Nick said, looking at her.
'I was always good with words.' Catherine dryly answered, 'But that wasn't an answer.' she continued, looking at Grissom.
'I'm sorry, I can't tell you. I'm sure Sara wanted to tell you, but if she can get in trouble by telling anyone, there must be a good reason. I'm sorry.' he managed to get out.
Catherine tried to say something, but Warrick stopped her. 'No, Cath, now you can't know something for a change. Just wait, the news is going to start soon, let's watch it and see if we get something out if it.' he told her, softly pushing her in the direction of the lab.
'Fine.' Catherine said, disdain. They walked to the lab, and found Jim there, waiting for them.
'Hey, guys, you won't believe it. Ecklie just came by, and he said he needed Greg in the field, and if I did anything to stop him, he'd fire me. I tried to help Greg, but I couldn't.' Jim finished, all in one breath.
'So now Greg is working in the field with Ecklie?' Grissom asked him, frowning his eyebrows.
'Poor Greg!' Nick exclaimed.
'What would Ecklie want with Greg?' Warrick said, deeply thinking.
'I guess he wants to ask Greg questions about Grissom and Sara.' Catherine said, pointed to Nick and Warrick, ignoring Grissom who looked at her in disbelief.
'Please. You have to be kidding.' Grissom said to her.
'No, I really think that's the reason. Ecklie wanted to know if you guys do anything in the lab, and he took Greg for that because he knows Greg never can keep his mouth shut, certainly not with Ecklie!' Catherine told him. The others, including Jim, nodded in agreement.
Then the news started.
So, there is it! I hope you like it! I do. If you like it, please review. second part coming soon.
