Sara's ill, working with Ecklie, on a decomp and Ecklie was messing up…some unexpected people come to her rescue (NS, Cath-Sara friendship, )
"Come on Grissom haven't you got any work for us" shouted Greg as Grissom slowly approached the break room.
"Yes I have plenty of work" he replied.
"Well I wouldn't get to exited Greg, Sara's not here so you'll have to pick up the slack" said Catherine.
"Why me"
"Because your new. Where is Sara?" asked Nick looking at Grissom.
"She already has her assignment"
"Oh favouritism" called Warrick
"She's working a decomp with Ecklie"
At this Nick began choking on his water while Warrick smirked.
"So were expecting another body by tomorrow" smirked Catherine
"Well if she kills Ecklie I'll give her a alibi," laughed Nick
"Yer she was in bed with me the whole time" added Greg receiving a look from Grissom.
"Ecklie needs to do some fieldwork and he wants to do Sara's appraisal apparently mine wasn't correct" said Grissom with a hint of anger in his voice.
"So what you got for us?" asked Warrick
"Greg and Nick a B and E. Warrick your prelims been moved forwards so the DA wants to see you and Catherine you have a possible missing person"
"Oh she gets a missing person," cried Greg
"Hey it could be worse. You could be on decomp with Ecklie," replied Catherine.
Sara was starring sternly at the police officer currently talking to Ecklie, so far she had only managed to get two words in and those were her name.
"Bodies in there" the officer said pointing as Sara heading inside the house.
"Must be bad," said Sara wrinkling he nose as the smell hit her. Today was not the best day for a decomp, Sara had felt ill since she'd got up.
"Oh" it was clear Ecklie hadn't been near a decomp in a while and part of Sara was hoping he run out and puke, it would certainly make her day better.
"Oh my…." Sara trailed off on reaching the body, if you could call it that. A cupboard door was open with what looked like a wax manikin and human soup flowing around the bottom.
"I'll…err take some shots" said Sara desperately trying to breath in through her mouth but enjoying the colour drain from Ecklie's face.
"Hi Sara" came Doc Robbins cheery voice. "Ecklie, your out the lab" he said with less enthusiasm.
"Who ever that is he's been dead months right" asked Ecklie as Sara finished taking pictures.
"Yer"
"So why does the bathroom look like it's just been cleaned?" he asked looking through a doorway.
Sara came to look and the bathroom looked like it had been newly fitted unlike the rest of the house that was covered in dust and dirt.
"Some one's been here recently" said Sara snapping photo's
"Ecklie what are you doing" she snapped as Ecklie began going though the bathroom cabinet "Gloves, how long was it since you was in the field"
Ecklie was so shocked he knocked over two jars and then shot Sara a look embarrassed he forgot such a routine thing.
"Ecklie" Sara shouted again as he began dusting.
"What?"
"Behind you" she said pointing to a small hole in the wall
"Needs filer" commented Ecklie as Sara pushed by him.
"Needs processing" she said pulling out a bullet "5mm" she smiled dropping it in a bag.
"Doc is there anyway of telling how he died?" shouted Sara
"Possibly you two might want to see this" came the Doc's voice. When they went back in the body was removed from the cupboard and laid face down on a gurney.
"What's that?" asked Ecklie looking at the jar Al was holding up.
"I believe its urine and faeces, the whole cupboards full of it"
Ecklie's face fell and for one second Sara thought he was going to pass out on the spot.
"I'll go check the other room, if someone was here recently there should be trace," said Ecklie bolting from the room.
"Feel sorry for you" smiled Al loading the body and getting up.
"Oh it's fun," mocked Sara "better go clean up Ecklie's mess" she sighed disappearing back into the room and cleaning the floor.
Sara was growing more and more tired of Ecklie's company as she sat dusting a door handle.
"Have you checked for prints?" asked Ecklie coming through logging some evidence
"Yes"-replied Sara annoyed he would ask her. The shrill sound of Ecklie's mobile broke the awkward silence that had fallen.
"Yes" Ecklie's face turned an interesting shade of white as he nodded along with the phone conversation.
"It seems our victim may have died from a infection due to the faeces and urine he kept in the house.
It was then Sara had the distinct displeasure of realising what the sounds outside were, HAZMAT. Then two men in blue suits burst into the room, Sara knowing what was coming abandoned her kit and didn't fight as she was lead outside. Ecklie on the other hand was putting up resistance asking questions, Sara found it funny to watch him been dragged by the arm outside the house. That was until he was dragged into the same blow up shower as her. Sara resented having to strip and then be showed by a complete stranger anyway but to have Ecklie stood behind glancing round was enough to drive her mad. She gratefully took the towel that was handed to her and covered herself up as best as possible. She was pleased unlike Ecklie she had spare clothes in the back of her car so could simply change unlike Ecklie who wore a blue jump suit.
Sara knew how much Nick and mostly everyone at the lab would make fun of her once they found out.
"Right I'll process the perimeter" announced Ecklie seeming to want to get away from Sara who couldn't help but give him glances suggesting what she saw.
"Can't let you back in yet" pointed out a member of HAZMAT.
"You know I've taken a HAZMAT shower with Greg before, it must have been colder this time" smiled Sara as Ecklie very nearly waked into the back door at her comment. One hour later Ecklie and Sara were allowed back in to process this time properly equipped with a mask as they processed the jars.
"Sara" after three hours of process jars of urine and faeces and some other questionable substances Ecklie shouted Sara outside where it was fast approaching dark.
"Great" Sara dropped her kit next to the door Ecklie was pointing at.
"Basement" she sighed as Ecklie swabbed the blood on the handle.
"Fibres" announced Sara bending down to pick the up before going dizzy as she stood up.
"Well don't just stand there," said Ecklie pushing by and opening the door as the smell hit them. It was similar to the one Sara had been trying to ignore all the day. Slowly she descended the stairs ahead of Ecklie as she reached the second door the smell got stronger. On opening the door she wished she hadn't. The smell was overwhelming. Sara stood on the spot retching; even smiling wasn't going to suppress the gag reflex now. Ecklie had coved his nose with his hand and sounded like he was having an asthma attack as he tried to breath getting the taste in his mouth.
"Maybe we should get a mask," he said bolting up the stairs closely followed by Sara trying to regain some composure after retching in front of Ecklie. Ecklie immediately put a mask on and headed back down. Sara on the other hand was less enthusiastic. She had a headache and her stomach was doing back flips without the smell.
"Sidle these bodies wont process themselves" called Ecklie from the basement.
"Well you could try doing it," muttered Sara putting her mask on and slowly descending the stairs.
"Well they've been here longer than sloppy Joe," commented Sara. When she saw the human soup and several bones floating around.
"Two" said Ecklie pointing down at a woman who had been killed more recently. She was bruised and beaten.
"So someone has a place to dump bodies," suggested Sara absent minded.
"Well I think we can say for certain it wasn't Joe in there," said Ecklie wondering off
