I have nothing to do with CSI, Crossing Jordan, or Las Vegas. I only wish that Crossing Jordan hadn't gotten canceled...it still kind of kills my soul.
Surprise Visit
Sara was about to climb into bed when her phone began to ring. Closing her eyes and silently praying that she wasn't being called back into the lab she reached over to her bedside table and picked up now annoying device. Looking at the caller ID screen she was pleasantly surprised at the name she saw.
"Jordan Cavanaugh how the hell are you?" Sara said as she flipped open her phone.
"I could be asking you the same thing Sidle," Jordan laughed, "how are you doing?"
"You know same old, same old. Work, work and more work. I am assuming that not much has changed with you?" Sara knew that Jordan was just as much of a workaholic as she was. It was one of the things that they built their friendship on in the beginning.
"Um, well…there are a few new things. Nothing too big that I will bother you with now…except the reason that I am calling you that is."
Sara laughed, "Uhoh, what are you up to now Cavanaugh?" She knew of her friend's tendencies to get into mischief.
"I am coming to Vegas this weekend."
"What?!?!" Sara almost flew off her bed in excitement.
"I'm not done yet! I'm not done yet, just wait!" Jordan waited until she knew that her friend had calmed down. "I'm getting married!"
"What?!?!" Jordan laughed at her friend's reaction.
"Who are you and what have you done with Jordan 'I'm afraid of commitment' Cavanaugh?" Sara asked.
"Well, you know, things change after having a meningioma removed from your brain and having your plane crash on the side of a mountain." Jordan stated like they were a part of everyone's daily routines.
"What?!?!?" Sara was shocked by all the information that she had received in the past 30 seconds.
"Is that all you can say now?" Jordan laughed.
"I'm sorry. I just can't believe that you have gone through all of this and I had no idea. How long has it really been since we last talked?"
"Too long." Her friend stated.
"Now wait. Please tell me that you are marrying the adorable detective that you have had a thing for for the past 6 years!" Sara had never met the Boston Detective but from what she had heard from her friend and what she had seen in pictures, they seemed perfect for each other. Now she was just hoping that they had both realized that.
"Yes! Yes, it is! Woody and I are getting married! Man it is still so weird to say!"
Sara was even more excited now that she knew that they had come to their senses. "How long have you guys been engaged?"
"About a month now. We were making wedding plans but then decided that neither of us really wanted a big wedding so we decided to elope. We booked the tickets last night so I wanted to give you a heads up that we would be there! I would love if you could come!"
"Are you kidding me? I wouldn't miss it for the world! I never thought that I would see the day that you settled down! When are you getting in?" Earlier that evening Sara had been dreading having the weekend off but now she was actually looking forward to it.
"We are getting in Thursday night and will be there for about a week. We figured we would make it the wedding and the honeymoon all in one. It's hard enough to get time off as it is." Sara laughed to herself. Jordan having trouble getting time off work, they probably both had just as much vacation time saved up.
"Have you booked a hotel for anything yet?"
"No. Our friends Danny works at the Montecito, so we were going to give him call and see if he could hook us up."
"Danny? Head of security Danny? He's a great guy."
Jordan wasn't too surprised to hear that Sara and Danny's paths had crossed, "So you've worked with Danny before?"
"Yeah, actually I worked with him just last week with a case that we had at the Montecito. How do you know him?" Sara had worked with Danny on multiple occasions but could not begin to guess how Jordan knew him.
"It's a long story really, nothing too exciting." Jordan didn't want to tell her friend that she had been to Vegas without calling her. She would be in big trouble.
"Right," Sara knew that she would get the story out of her eventually, "anyway, I would love for you guys to stay with me for a few days – before the wedding that is."
"That would be great! We could have a girl's night at some point too!"
Other then going out to the breakfast with the team after shift, Sara could not remember the last time she went out with anyone much less had a girl's night. "It would be just like old times! Email me your flight information and I will try to pick you guys up from the airport."
"Sounds great! I will see you in a few days!"
"Great! Bye Jo!"
Sara closed her cell phone and climbed under the covers. Even though she was more excited then ever about her best friend coming to visit, the stress and exhaustion quickly overtook her as she fell asleep.
