She is fed up with him playing her like a fool and pushing her away so Sara is playing hard to get. Grissom has to prove that he wants Sara and prove that he is not just jealous of all the extra attention she has been getting from the male community. Can Grissom do it?

Pursuing Sara Sidle

Chapter1: Change your ways

Grissom walked into the lab with his brief case in one hand and a pile of papers in the other. He was on his way to his office when he heard the sweet girly laughter emanating from the break room. Grissom popped his head around the corner and found Sara sat on the edge of the table with Nick and Greg stood around her.

Greg was waving his arms around like a madman emphasizing how huge what ever it was he was talking about, he was excited and smiling greatly and every time he made a move Sara laughed more.

Nick was stood close to Sara passing small discrete comments probably about Greg which made her laugh harder to the point that she was holding her stomach. Grissom was instantly jealous, he couldn't recall a time when he had made Sara laugh at all, never mind like that. Of course he hadn't failed to make her smile, she did that every now and then and purses her lips, god she did that an awful lot around him which he loved and had crude thoughts about for hours later. But he was also sure he had made her cry on many an occasion and wasn't proud of it.

Grissom had noticed lately that Sara was getting a lot more attention from men, a lot more guys had been flirting with her and on occasions she had flirted back. Sara is beautiful he knew that to well so it was only natural for her to get a lot of attention but he still couldn't help but feeling incredibly envious of the guys around her, even Nick and Greg. He envied how they could just walk up to her and start talking, he envied how natural they acted around her but most of all he envied that they had her attention and some lucky ones had that Sidle smile that he hasn't seen so much of lately.

Grissom released a sigh; he knew that he didn't stand a chance with Sara now. Even if he did have the courage to act upon his feelings he wasn't sure if Sara still had them for him. As far as he knew she could have moved on a long time ago and left him in the forbidden land where he was left to love Sara all alone.

Grissom looked up from the spot on the floor he was staring at to find Greg pressed against the glass with his nose turning into a snout, Nick was taking a picture and Sara was laughing again. Sara turned her attention from Greg to look at Grissom, she noticed he didn't look very happy, not angry or annoyed from Greg's violating the break room wall but just unhappy. She also noticed he had been like that a lot, he wasn't the same smiley, play full Grissom she knew when she came to Vegas, she missed it.

Sara met Grissom's eyes through the glass, she was tempted to look away but she didn't instead she gave him a gentle but positive smile and was happy to see that Grissom gave her one back before he shook his head at Greg and headed towards his office.

Grissom entered his office feeling lighter; he took his coat off, hung it up and placed is brief case on the couch. He took a seat in his big office chair and he swivelled around on it a little then stopped at his desk.

Maybe there is hope yet, it didnt look like she completely hated me the smile said that. It was a lovely smile.

Grissom thought to himself with a smile of his own on his face.

Grissom got up out of his seat, grabbed the night's assignments and headed towards the brake room.

In the break room Greg had calmed down a little and was sat on the couch with Nick flipping through the channels on the television.

Sara was looking through a magazine while munching on an apple, Catherine was stood in the corner arguing with Lindsey down the phone while throwing one of her arms around to emphasize that she was right even though Lindsey couldn't see her. Warrick was leaning against the counter drinking some coffee while flicking his eyes between the floor and Catherine's butt.

Grissom walked into the brake room and smiled at what every one was doing.

So predictable.

Grissom thought.

Catherine shut her phone off with a huff and she threw her self in a chair around the table. The rest of the team grabbed a seat and waited for the nights assignments.

"Every thing alright Catherine"? Grissom asked as she raised his eye brow questioningly .

"No, I'll tell you what that girl is going to give me a mental brake down one day". Catherine spat out.

"Do you need some time"? Grissom asked.

"No, no just give me a case where I can put someone away for a long time". Catherine said a bit more gentle this time.

"Well I'm glad you're doing something productive with your frustration". Grissom quipped.

"Okay, Greg and Nick you have a nice decomp in Henderson. They think it's an elderly man in a shed".

"How do we know there was a crime committed, Could just be old age". Nick responded while looking sceptical about the case.

"Well when people die of old age they don't usually have an axe in their shoulder". Grissom said with a small smile on his face.

"Have fun". Grissom said playfully as he passed the slip over to Greg.

Greg and Nick got up, Greg saluted Grissom and they both walked out of the room.

"Catherine, Warrick you have an assault downtown. A woman claims her husband beat her, so if you could check that out". Grissom said as he handed the slip to Catherine.

"Come on let's go and get that bastard". Catherine said with enthusiasm as she got up and headed out of the room.

"Whoa easy girl". Warrick said as he got up. He gave Sara a friendly smile and Grissom a nod and headed out of the room.

Sara smiled and then looked at Grissom.

"So boss what have we got"?

"Hmm we have got a suspicious suicide. A man hung him self in the Tangiers hotel". Grissom answered.

"And why is that suspicious"? Sara asked.

"The man has no arms". Grissom answered as he walked out of the room.

"I'm driving". Grissom called back.

Sara shot up out of her seat and chased after Grissom.

"No way". Sara shouted down the corridor.
