C o o k i e s.
Five hours into day shift, the graveyard shift got stuck with a multiple homicide and ended up working extra time, at noon Sara was more than ready to head home, that's when she saw a familiar 8 year old boy sitting in the break room.
-"Sammy, whatcha doing here?"-
-"Hi"- The boy smiled and run over to give her a big hug – "We came to visit my Uncle Tom, Mom says he works at the lab-o-ra-to-ry".-
-"So she left you here"- It wasn't a question.
As Sara and Sammy played their fifth game of rock, paper, scissors; the boys walk in the room, they were truly surprised to see her playing with a child.
-"Hey Sar, who's the little dude?"- Nick was the first to talk.
-"He's Sammy, my neighbour and apparently he's Tom's nephew"-
-"Tom, the new lab tech?"- Greg joined the conversation.
-"Yeah"- she turned her attention back to Sammy.
Warrick excuse himself, and left to find Grissom to discuss his case, as soon as he left the room he bump into Grissom, and started talking about a shoe impression for a few minutes.
-"Warrick do you know where's Sara? I've been looking all over for her"-
-"She's in the break room with a kid, Sammy I think; he's her neighbour and the new lab tech nephew"- Warrick thought that Grissom needed an explanation.
-"Sammy? An 8 year old boy, about this height?"- Grissom held his hand as high as his waist.
-"Yeah, you know him?"-
-"Sure, Sara baby-sits him once or twice a month"- Warrick raised an eyebrow, silently questioning Griss.
Catherine heard the last of the conversation and joined the two men.
-"Wait Sara baby-sits? I should've known about that when Linds was younger"-
Warrick said good bye and left, Grissom and Cath went into the break room.
-"Hello Samuel"- Griss said to the boy
-"Hi Dr. G, you work here too?" -Grissom nodded to the boy- "Cool"
-"You know him, boss?"- Nick sat across him at the table, Greg and Cath looked at him waiting for the answer.
-"I've seen him once or twice before"- Grissom saw the smile in Sara's face, nobody else seem to notice. They were busy giving him weird looks.
-"Hey! Dr. G, they don't believe me that she makes the best chocolate chips cookies EVER"- Sammy was pointing at Sara, and giving the boys a look that had 'I'll-show-you-I'm-not-lying' written all over.
-"Hold up"- Catherine interrupted before Grissom could answer –"First you baby-sit and now you BAKE? Who are you and what have you done to our Sara?"- Sara gave her have a smile.
-"Yes Samuel, Sara's cookies are the best"- Everyone in the room turn to get a better look at Grissom, he had a huge smile in his face.
-"See I told you"- the boy showed Greg his tongue that was blue form a candy he ate, and smiled when Greg showed him his also blue tongue.
-"So… Sar… When do WE get to try some of the BEST cookies EVER that Sammy and GRISSOM seem to enjoy sooo much?"-
-"Some day Nicky, maybe"- Sara went to the mini fridge and grab a bottle of water.
There was a soft knock in the door and everybody turned to see a woman about Sara's age.
-"Good morning everyone, Dr. Grissom, Sara"- She smiled at the two CSI's and then turned to Sammy –"Time to go home honey, say good bye"-
-"Bye dudes"- Sammy said to the guys
-"Bye little dude"- Nick and Greg answer at the same time
-"Thanks for looking after him Sara; he kind of ran off, I hope he wasn't bothering you much"-
-"Not a problem Mary, he was great"-
-"Bye Dr. G"-
-"Bye Samuel"- Grissom gave Sammy a handshake, and turned to face Mary –"Bye Mary"-
Sammy started walking to the door, right behind his mother, when he turned back and wave to Sara.
-"Good bye Mrs. G, see ya later"-
-"Bye Sammy"- Sara replied just as three jaws fell open almost hitting the floor.
Dr. and Mrs. Grissom left the break room, leaving behind three really confused co-workers.
