Prologue.
Sara stood next to Grissom as she looked out towards a cabin, it looked more worn down than it did stable, the smoke flying out of the chimney told her that someone was home.
"Alright let's run down the plan one more time." Grissom said causing Sara to groan out loud and roll her eyes.
"Gil we have been through this countless times, me and Jo go into the cabin, find and collect any evidence we can and you and Frank will keep watch to radio in and tell when Travers is coming back."
"I don't like this it should be me going in."
"We both know I am a lot faster than you plus you are still recovering, it's best that Jo and I do it."
Sara looked over to him and saw he was looking at her with a look she had seen a few times, it was a look of fear, and she knew why he was looking that way, Jason Travers was not a nice guy, he had shot at their team a few times before, once even shooting Grissom in the leg as he and the rest of the team ran for coverage.
Grissom had wanted Sara to stay far away from Travers but since him and Frank were both sidelined with injuries he knew trying to keep her away was no use, while he loved her stubbornness and her passion for justice he sometimes found it annoying especially when she was putting her life on the line.
Grissom pulled her into a hug "Just come back to me okay?"
Sara shuffled back a few steps before looking him right in the eyes "I always do, don't I?"
Grissom leaned in and brushed his lips against hers, which Sara deepened causing them to be caught in a passionate embrace by Frank and Jo.
"Will you two just get a room already?" Jo said as Frank chuckled at his wife's remark.
"Oh please don't tell them that I still have echoes in my head of the night Sara joined us.
Sara winced as she remembered how she and Grissom kept the whole camp up the night they disembarked from Grissom's boat and she met the team for the very first time.
"Yeah and apparently the entire camp is never going to let us live that one down are they?"
"Never." Frank and Jo both said in unison causing them to burst into laughter and Grissom and Sara to roll their eyes.
"Can we focus on the job at hand please?" Grissom said trying to get his team members to focus. "Did you bring the radios?" he said turning to Frank.
Frank dropped his backpack to the ground unzipped it and tossed a radio to each team member.
"Alright now once Travers leaves the cabin to go on his lunchtime hunt, Jo you and Sara go in and find anything we can use to nail the son of a bitch, me and Gil will keep a watchful eye over the cabin and should Travers comes back we will radio you and alert you, if that happens you use the back door and leave immediately, Sara that means you don't stick around to get another picture or grab something that means you leave, understand?"
Sara nodded towards Frank showing him that she understood perfectly.
"Great let's do this." Frank said.
Jo walked towards her husband to talk for a few seconds as Grissom pulled Sara a few feet away and looked her in the eye. "You be careful okay?"
"Gil I will be fine, don't worry about me."
"I'm your boyfriend it's my job to worry." Grissom said raising a palm to her cheek and gently caressing it.
"Alright Sara let's go Travers just left the building."
"Is Travis Elvis now?" Sara said sarcastically under her breath causing Grissom to chuckle at her before Sara squeezed his hand once more before walking down the path with Jo.
Grissom watched from the hill as Sara and Jo got farther and farther away from him and closer to the cabin.
"Have you asked her yet?" Frank asked causing Grissom to look at him.
"No I'm going to ask her tonight."
"Do you think she'll say yes?"
Grissom looked towards the cabin "I hope so."
Sara and Jo walked through the wooded area near the cabin.
"You nervous?" Jo asked seeing Sara's worried face.
"A little."
"Don't be I've done this a thousand times we'll be okay."
"Yeah." Sara said looking back over her shoulder even though she couldn't see Grissom anymore.
"Have you told him yet?" Jo asked.
"No I'm kind of scared on what he'll say."
"He will be fine with it I guarantee it you'll see."
Sara nodded "I hope so."
Jo and Sara stopped in front of the cabin and looked at the surroundings before walking in.
"They're in." Frank said looking through his binoculars.
Grissom grabbed an extra pair looking towards the cabin.
Frank turned on his radio "Alright ladies now you know what we need,any evidence that this guy has been killing the whales off the coast.
"Yeah we know, we know." Jo said back.
"Sara you alright?" Grissom said into his radio.
"I'm fine Gil and you know if you two keep us on these radios we will blow our cover for sure."
"Alright we will be silent for now."
"Thank you." Both girls responded.
Grissom chuckled as he went to put his radio down but noticed something in his binoculars Jason Travers had returned and was walking towards the Cabin.
"Travers is back." Grissom said to Frank who immediately grabbed his binoculars and grabbed his radio.
"Ladies, Travers came back get out now, I repeat get out now."
All Grissom and Frank could do was watch as Travers walked into his cabin and pray the girls made it out.
