Sara Sidle walked through the lab, coffee mug in hand. She was just about to start the second half of a double. Up to now she had only a small amount of time to go grab a bite to eat and some of Greg's Hawaiian Coffee, a utmost lifesaver at times.

Sara stopped just out side of Hodges` lab to find him in mid make out with Wendy, chuckling to herself Sara made her way towards Grissom's office to receive her next assignment.

"Ah Sara I know we said we had another case for you and Nick, well" Grissom said pausing for a brief moment "I can't allow you on this case"

"What do you mean you can't allow me on this case?" Sara replies angrily "Just let me do my job Grissom!"

"Sara you can't go to the scene, it's complicated" Grissom replied rubbing his forehead and removing his glasses "Look I just don't want it upsetting you, that's all"

"Upsetting me? Griss you are not my boyfriend, you can not protect me" Sara responds placing her coffee mug on the desk "Give me a valid reason why I can not do my job"

"It will bring back memories, memories I don't want you to have again" Grissom said placing his hand on top of Sara's "Look I'm not doing this because I want to stop you doing your job, I'm doing this to stop you from getting upset and then for Nick to kill me! Caring not stupid Sara"

"Ok fine, so what do I do? I'm doing a double shift" Sara enquired taking a drink of her coffee.

"Well I need you to wait here at the lab for a child" Grissom replies placing his glasses back on his face "Her name is Hayleigh and she's coming from the scene, just talk to her and keep her happy"

"So basically I'm the babysitter" Sara responds standing up "Not the first time is it Grissom?"

Sara was out the office and down the corridor before Grissom could reply, sighing to himself and picking his kit up from the floor, Grissom made his way to the scene.

Sara must have been only sat in the break room ten minutes before her name was announced over the tannoy, exiting the break room Sara made her way to Reception and walked into Sophia.

"Hi Sara, Griss tells me your looking after Hayleigh here" Sophia asks pointing to Hayleigh.

Hayleigh stood up looking down at the floor, her long dark blond hair stuffed into a blue hat, she was a mere five foot and four inches tall and even looked like a strong gust of wind would have blew her over.

"Hi Hayleigh, I'm Sara, come with me and I'll get you something to eat and drink" Sara said pointing in the direction of the break room.

Hayleigh followed slowly behind, stopping just outside the break room. Sara turned to find Hayleigh hovering in the door way.

"Come in then" Sara said playfully regretting when Hayleigh looked at her while shedding tears "Oh I am sorry, please come in and we can talk, would you like that?"

Hayleigh only nodded and made her way to the couch, sitting down quickly she started to look around the room, her eyes stopping and staring at the Nintendo Wii.

"Want to have a game? Two players on Mario Kart sounds like fun" Sara said happy when Hayleigh nodded and sat down on the floor "Want some juice?"

Hayleigh shook her head and watched Sara as she turned the Wii on and placed the game into the machine, Sara had noticed that since Hayleigh had arrived she hadn't muttered any word, this was a little worrying to Sara.

"Oh I can't get the TV to work" Sara announced knowing fine well she could "Would you help me?

"Uhh ok" Hayleigh whispered "You have to turn the plug on silly"

"Oh really, sorry" I reply smiling has Hayleigh smiled back "So how old are you?"

"I'm twelve almost thirteen, can…I…have that juice please?" Hayleigh asked nervously "I don't want to be to much trouble"

"Nonsense no trouble at all" Sara replied pouring Orange Juice into a clean beaker and handing it to Hayleigh "So who do you want to be on Mario Kart?"

"Mario?" Hayleigh questioned herself "Yes Mario please"

"Ok Mario it is, I'll be Luigi" Sara said happily setting up the controls "Gosh you must have been thirsty, want some more?"

"Yes please Sara" Hayleigh replied happily "Can we get some food after this game please?"

"Sure thing, you ready to challenge me Sara Sidle on Mario Kart?" Sara asked laughing and sitting down beside Hayleigh.

"Are you ready more like!" Hayleigh replied nudging Sara in the ribs to make her crash "Ha Ha!"

After playing the Wii for an hour, Sara turned to Hayleigh, and asked, "You wanna go get something to eat now Hayleigh?"

Looking down at the ground Hayleigh shyly replies, "Yes, ma'am, that is if you don't mind."

Walking towards Hayleigh, Sara replies, "Of course I don't mind, come on, let's go get something, you must be starving."

"O-okay," Hayleigh said.

Walking out to the car, Sara asked Hayleigh, "Where would you like to go eat?"

After getting in the car, Hayleigh answered, after buckling herself in, "Umm, c-can we h-have Burger King? If we can't then, that's fine; I don't mind going somewhere else."

"If you want Burger King, then Burger King it is, I don't mind hun." Sara reassured her.

"O-okay, just as long as your sure." Hayleigh replied shyly while fidgeting with her fingers

"Hayleigh what is it?" Sara asked "What's worrying you?"

"Where will I go? Who will I live with? Nobody is going to want a twelve year old that's witnessed her dad's death" Hayleigh sharply replied "I'm all alone, unloved!"

"Oh my god!" Sara whispered pulling her Tahoe over "Look here missy, I know what you went through and I was younger than you by six years, I understand your fear but trust me someone will want a cute kid like you"

"Thanks I guess" Hayleigh replied rubbing her knees "So what happened to you?"

Sara took in a deep breath and prepared herself for telling her tragic tale.

"It happened when I was six years old, my father was a drunk and a bully" Sara explained watching as Hayleigh nodded and sometimes gasped.

Sara sat in her parked car chatting to Hayleigh about her past, this made Hayleigh respect Sara a lot more and Hayleigh decided being around Sara wasn't bad and learnt in that short space of time to trust again.
