A/N yes this used to be the room came complete with snicker but I originally wrote it as a Sara/Cath fic but for some reason changed it and now I want it the way it was meant to be…
summery
The hotel room came with more than just the average murder as the CSI's discovered.
"Oh this looks like the most exiting B and E ever!" mocked Sara as Cath pulled the Tahoe up. They were at a remote crime scene where a farmhouse had been broken into.
"We get this, Greg and Nick get murder in the presidential suite at the palms. Did we lose a bet or something?" asked Sara sighing.
"Don't forget possible fraud, considering the owners been dead twenty years," added Cath getting out the car.
"Judging by this house no one's lived here for twenty years, who even reported it?" asked Sara getting her kit out.
"Anonymous caller said they saw someone smashing a window, then that state trouper confirmed it," replied Cath
"Well they weren't exactly discrete," said Sara taking her sunglasses off and looking at the broken window situated on the front of the house, "yeah this is going to take a while," Sara added seeing boxes piled up inside the house.
"Hello" Cath banged on the door making sure no one was in.
"Um that state trouper didn't do a very good job" said Sara peering through the window.
"Why someone in there?" asked Cath getting ready to draw her gun.
"Yeah but their not going anywhere and they haven't been going a long time," said Sara as Cath came and peered through the window at the body lying on the floor. It wasn't really a body it looked like a melted waxwork.
"Well if it makes you feel better we've been upgraded to homicide," smiled Cath trying not to smirk at Sara's irate look.
"Brilliant," said Sara with mock enthusiasm.
"Well it's not the owner, that bodies old but it's not that old," said Cath approaching the front door.
"Well it made a pretty good defence system I see foot prints to the window and then pretty deep ones going away. My guess they saw the body and ran."
"Wouldn't you?" asked Cath as Sara caught up to her at the door.
"Believe me I'm trying not too," replied Sara with a soft smile.
With that Cath opened the door and the two women stepped in.
"Oh my." Cath began taking deep breaths in through her mouth.
"Lets get David to take them…. soon" said Sara screwing her face up and flipping her phone out.
"Well whoever killed them robbery wasn't a motive. DVD player, TV "said Cath looking around.
"David's coming, I guess we should……process the body," said Sara looking at Cath.
"As hard as David tried to teach me to breath through my mouth I still end up smelling it, it's like breathing in the taste," said Sara as they approached the body.
"Are you wishing we just had the B and E?"
"Simple, no smell oh yeah," replied Sara as they both stood over the body.
"Lets do this quickly and process the other side of the house, maybe even outside?" suggested Cath as she began taking photo's.
"Um, does that look like a cartridge case to you?" asked Sara pointing in the human soup spilling out onto the floor.
"Yes, well you found it you collect it," said Cath handing Sara some tweezers.
"Great," said Sara with a lopsided smile bending down and pulling the case up. As she did the decomp stuck to it and stretched like elastic.
"Eurgh," Sara pulled it up and bagged it.
"What you smiling at?" asked Cath.
"I'm trying not to gag," said Sara through gritted teeth.
"Is it working?" asked Cath.
"No" replied Sara swallowing hard.
"Sara there's paper down there," said Cath pointing next to the body.
"You found it" said Sara grinning.
"Its stuck" announced Cath pulling at the paper, "you move that piece of wood and I'll get it" said Cath pointing to amongst the various piles of rubbish there was a folded up piece of paper caught under a piece of wood and coated in human remains.
"On three," said Sara bending down.
"Three," said Cath grabbing the paper as Sara lifted the wood. As she did they revealed a pile of maggots moving around amongst the soup.
"Oh," Cath shot backwards forgetting to breath through her mouth got a nose full of decomp and stumbled away from the body. Sara dropped the wood and followed Cath quickly away from the smell.
"Urgh," Sara began gasping and lent against he table "I don't think smiling is going to help," said Sara bracing herself against the table.
"They've got to have been here a long time I mean you can barley see their face, I think we should let David deal with the body."
"Good idea want to process outside?" asked Sara
"Judging by the stuff inside yeah I'm with that," Cath picked her kit up and left the house that was piled high with boxes and walked into he back yard, that was also filled with boxes.
"Oh you have got to be kidding, this is going to take all day," said Sara dropping her kit.
An hour and thirty minutes later and David had taken what was left of the body away but Sara and Cath were still stuck processing the junk outside.
"I swear there was less stuff than this at the dump," said Cath lifting a cardboard box up that fell to pieces causing everything to fall out onto the floor.
"How do we even know if any of this is, well whoever's David just took away?" asked Sara shining her torch around the back of some boxes.
"We don't" replied Cath as Sara spotted something glint behind an old fish tank. Reaching down wit her right hand Sara heard a sudden noise. Before she was given chance to recoil her arm a sharp pain shot though her hand causing her to shout and fall backwards before rattling came form behind the tank.
"Sara are you ok?" asked Cath as she saw Sara jump backwards. She was now stood holding her right arm and waving it around while biting her lips together.
"Sara." Cath got up quickly and wondered to where Sara had just been shining her torah down she got a surprise there on the floor was an angry looking rattle snake.
"Did it bite you?" demanded Catherine as Sara was still stood waving her arm around trying to get rid of the intense pain shooting through it.
"Sara." Catherine went over to her and grabbed her arm beneath the blood on her hand Cath could see two distinct bite marks.
"Get in the car," shouted Cath flipping her phone out and calling animal control.
"Get in," said Cath as Sara stood looking at her.
"Were going to the hospital, we need to get there as fast as possible" said Cath getting in the drivers seat. "Ambulances don't' carry antivenin," she added scribbling something down on a piece of paper which Sara realised was a description of the snake.
"Does it hurt?" asked Cath starting the car as Sara gave her a 'what do you think?' look.
"It feels like someone just stabbed my hand," said Sara through gritted teeth. Already bruising was forming around her arm and her veins seemed very visible.
"Ok talk to me take your mind off it" said Cath speeding slightly as they made their way back towards a main road.
"Take my mind off it?" questioned Sara looking down at her hand that had already started to swell.
"Tell me what you did on your day off," suggested Cath.
"Nothing," replied Sara pulling her arm up to her chest and squeezing in an attempt to stop it from pulsating as it was making her feel strange.
"How are you feeling?" asked Cath as she swerved back onto a main road still along way from the hospital.
"Weird," replied Sara blinking several times.
"Weird how? Come on describe it," said Cath snatching a look at Sara who had turned very pale.
"I can feel my heart beating," said Sara as Cath noticed the amount of bruising that seemed to be spreading up Sara's arm.
"That's it you had me worried for a minute Sidle," said Cath with a half smile.
"A bit dizzy and sick," added Sara closing her eyes trying to get her rising nausea to leave her body.
"Sara stay awake how's your hand feel?"
"Hurts like hell," replied Sara not opening her eyes until Cath reached across hitting her on the arm.
"Sara open you eyes," shouted Cath after feeling the heat radiating of her. She could tell she was burning up from the beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
A sudden noise and flashing lights in the mirror almost made her jump out her skin. Seeing a Turas car, blue lights on top flashing, behind her she reluctantly pulled over before she was forced to stop.
"Speeding, Catherine," came Brass's familiar voice from outside sounding surprised and slightly pleased, "what the hell?" he added seeing Sara's pale shaking body in the passenger seat.
"Brass she got bit by a rattle snake we need to get her to hospital quickly," explained Cath going at lightening speed.
"Light's will get you there faster," replied Brass not needing to ask anymore questions as Cath jumped out the car and helped Sara, who almost fell out when she opened the door.
With some difficulty Brass got Sara in the back of his car almost laid on Catherine.
"Where were you?" asked Brass pulling off quickly leaving Cath's Tahoe abandoned by the roadside.
"A remote farm. Sara come on wake up" Cath taped the side of her face and forced her to sit up right but she simply fell forwards.
"I feel like hell," mumbled Sara her head against the back of the seat in front.
"You look like it to," said Cath as Sara suddenly lurched and vomited on the floor.
"Ok," Cath rubbed her back sympathetically as she was sick again.
"Any idea how long before that stuff gets lethal?" asked Brass speeding up.
Catherine just gave Brass a look in the mirror that made him increase his speed again.
"Sara," Cath half pushed her back into her seat. Her face was pale and sweaty, her body seemed limp as if her muscles had given up. Her arm was swollen from below her wrist and bruised most of the way up.
"I don't like snakes," moaned Sara falling to the side unable to move herself forward as she was sick down the door.
"Brass you got a bag or something in here?" asked Cath pulling Sara towards her before she fell face first into where she'd just been sick.
"Yeah." Brass reached across and pulled a roll of bin lines out his glove pocket and passed them back to Cath.
"About ten minutes away," said Brass as they joined the Vegas traffic.
"Ok Sara were nearly there," reassured Cath not used to seeing the brunette so helpless as he managed to open a bag as Sara began retching again. Cath could feel her whole body shake against hers as her shoulder became wet form tears running down Sara's cheeks.
By the time they pulled into the hospital Sara was unable to control her body, she was laid like a rag doll shaking on Catherine's side.
Brass pulled the car into a no parking zone and jumped out lifting Sara from the car as Catherine ran in behind him.
"I need some help," shouted Brass getting everyone's attention in the ER
"What happened?" asked a doctor running up to them as nurse ran for a gurney.
"She was bit," said Brass looking over to Cath
"A rattle snake I've got a description," said Cath as Sara was placed onto the gurney then man began shouting orders including for a doctor Childs.
"Can we come with her?" asked Cath as they started to wheel Sara away.
"One of you," replied the doctor not looking around.
Cath looked at Brass who simply nodded.
Brass wondered of to a find a phone knowing the others would want to know.
"Nick, Warrick one of you is going down there, I don't' care if you wrestle for it just do it" shouted Grissom
"And how come your not going down there?" asked Nick looking over into the giant pond.
"Seniority" replied Grissom as his phone rang.
Warrick who had just lost at rock paper scissors stopped half way though taking his top of as he watched Grissom's jaw drop.
"Is she ok?" asked Grissom before hanging up shortly after.
"Gris" asked Nick
"Sara's in hospital she was bit by a rattle snake" said Grissom looking as if he'd just been hit in the face.
"Is she ok?" asked Nick repeating his earlier words.
"According to Brass it was serious," said Grissom as Warrick hastily put his shirt back on
"Desert palms" he asked grabbing his stuff and loading it into the car as Grissom nodded.
"They'll have the anti venom though she' be ok" asked Greg
"It depends on when it was administered," replied Grissom.
Catherine couldn't really hear what was happing. She'd gone into shock, no on else seemed as worried as she was, sure Brass looked worried but he didn't look as if he couldn't breath any more. That was how she felt, it was like someone was squeezing her chest, and she couldn't catch her breath. Something had happened to Sara and all she wanted to do was to be there to hold her. Cath suddenly realised why no one else looked like she did, no one else was in love with Sara. She tried to ignore it not stare at her every time she saw her, she'd tell herself she was delirious imaging the smiles she got, the like flirting moments, they'd always argued and fought but now was different. Every time she saw her his heart skipped, as corny as it was it did, she'd get that huge grin that Warrick would make fun of her for when she saw her. She didn't stand a chance really once she gave her, her full smile she was gone, she'd fallen for Sara Sidle and she knew it.
