CHAPTER 1
"Why not? C'mon guys, Grissom'll go for it" Greg leaned against the counter next to the coffee pot, brewing a new pot of his special coffee.
"Greg it's not that we think he won't let us go, it's that he won't come." Catherine explained.
"Why not?"
"It's just not his thing."
"I don't know, Cath, he's been awfully friendly lately," Nick chimed in, "I think it's a good idea."
Just then Warrik and Sara walked in.
Breazing by Catherine, Warrick asked, "What's a good idea?"
"Going on a group vacation somewhere," Nick returned, "You, me, Cath, Griss, Sara, Greg, and even Brass, if he wanted to come."
"Doesn't sound too bad to me."
"What about Tina?" Catherine went into interrigation mode.
"Uhh, yeah guys, I've been meaning to tell you, me and Tina aren't going to make it, she's hanging with her parents until she can find an apartment."
Catherine looked apologetic, while secretly inside she was jumping up and down. Screw everyone else, she could take him on a vacation just with the two of them. Sara sat there watching her friends and sipping the coffee Greg had given her.
"What about you, Sara, you wanna go?" Greg questioned.
Sara shrugged, "Why not?"
"Okay then, it's settled. Now, who's going to ask Grissom?" Catherine looked around the group.
"Don't look at me, I came up with the idea," Greg defended.
"All the more reason for you to ask him," grinned Catherine.
"I'll ask him," all eyes turned to Sara, except Greg's who turned back to his pot of coffee, "I mean, I have to drop off the casefile that Warrick and I just finished, I'll ask him then."
"Okay I'm not arguing," commented Catherine.
Sara left to give the file to Grissom.
Knocking lightly, she took her spot in the door frame.
"Hey."
Grisssom looked up, then back down. Sara took that as a 'Hello, please come in' in Grissom language. She walked in and shut the door behind her.
"I have the case that Warrick and I were working on. Turns out that she was stabbed because her mother had promised the ring to her sister, but after she died, she took it, so the sister went after her, and stabbed her to get the ring."
"We'll blood is thicker than water." Grissom responded, closing the file he was working on.
Sara put the folder on his desk and came around to the other side, slightly leaning against the desk.
"So, the guys want to go on a trip somewhere and are afraid that you won't want to come."
"Why would I not want to come," he responded.
"Because you're a hermit with his head glued to a microscope."
"I thought we agreed that I had gotten my head dislodged from said microscope?" At this Sara gave a smile.
Clearing her throat she said, "We'll Doctor Grissom, does that mean you would like to come, or sit on your pumpkin?"
"I think I will have to dislodge my butt from the pumpkin too, huh?"
Sara smirked, "I'll tell the guys."
"Sara, wait."
She turned at the door before opening it, "You know I love trips as long as your there.:
"Right back atcha, babe." With that, she headed back out to the breakroom.
