Her Best friend
Chapter 1
A Caucasian Brown haired, Brown eyed, CSI level 3, Sara Sidle was sitting in the Las Vegas Crime lab break-room with some of her colleagues and some people might say her closets friends while others might say her only friends, among them included an African American, browned small Afro haired, green eyed, CSI level 3, Warrick brown.
A Caucasian brown haired, brown eyed, CSI Level 3 Nick stokes.
A Caucasian, brown haired, brown eyed, newly promoted to CSI level 3 Greg Sanders, and a Caucasian, Blond haired, blue eyed, CSI level 3 and Assistant supervisor for the night shift, Catherine Willows.
They weren't talking about anything all that important just killing time till the start of shift, they all smiled at something Greg said when Sara's phone rings, She grabs her phone from her pocket curious on who would be calling especially considering on how late it is, she looks at the caller ID and it says a private number she shrugs it off, and while she is answering it, the rest of the group was talking to each other quietly to give her some privacy.
It was quiet for a second then the person on the other line asked. "Sara?"
"yes, who are you?"
The women on the other line laughed and said. "it's Haley Jackson, you know from Harvard?"
Sara smiles while getting up from her seat and everybody else stopped with what they were talking aobut and turned their attention to Sara, once Sara was standing and looking through the glass windows out in the lab she continues to talk. "yeah I remember, wow it is so nice to hear from you it's been ages." they hadn't talked to each other since Sara had graduated from Harvard, Haley was there supporting her since she had graduated 2 years earlier.
Haley nodded even though Sara couldn't see and continued to talk. "yeah I know, its nice to hear from you too, listen I am sorry I called so late I wasn't sure if you would be up or not."
"no you didn't wake me I work for the LVPD night shift so I am always up at this hour."
"well good, I would have felt so bad for waking you up, the reason I am calling was I was hoping to come to Vegas and visit you for a little while if that is all right with you?"
Sara didn't even think about she smiles while saying. "that would be great and you can met my friends." Sara looks back at the table and sees her friends smiling back and nodding.
Haley smiles back over the phone and said. "alright cool so I'll see you in a few weeks?"
Sara turned back to the glass window and said. "alright see you then, call me when you land and I'll pick you up."
"OK bye Sara."
"Bye Haley" they hang up the phone and she turns back to the table and she said as she was sitting down. "talk about blast from the past." she reaches for her coffee and her friends were still looking at her, she looks at them and said. "yeah?"
Catherine answers that. "who is Haley?"
Then Greg asks. "yeah and I thought we were your only friends."
Warrick and Nick snicker and Sara mock glares at Greg and said. "ha ha very funny Greg, despite popular opinion I do have other friends." Greg smiles and Sara looks at Catherine and answered her question. "she was my college roommate in Harvard for my first two years and it was her last two, usually they put freshman with freshman but I guess it was special circumstances really I don't know." she cleared her throat and continued. "anyway, she brought me out of my shell a little, took me to off campus parties introduced me to some guys that sort of thing."
they looked at her shocked and Greg said. "you? Workaholic Sidle?"
Again they all snickered and Sara shook her head and replied. "yes Greg, Even I had a little fun in College, lets just say those two years were some of the best." Sara smiled bigger and they shook their heads and said they didn't want to know, then Catherine looks back at Sara and replied. "so what happened with Haley?"
Sara shrugged her shoulders and after taking another drink of her coffee she replied.
"well after she graduated I didn't see her much and I started to go back into my shell more and really the last time I saw her was when I graduated 2 years after her, we said we would keep in touch and we did for a few months but you know how it is, we get busy and lose touch, I am just surprised she called me now."
They could still hear the surprise evident in her voice and they were happy they were going to met somebody who got Sara out of her shell even it was for a little bit.
Just when they were about to get some more dirt on this Haley person the last member of the team which was the supervisor walked in the room and to Sara it was the most important person in her life.
A Caucasian, older man with short light brown hair that was getting grayer a little more each year, the bluest eyes Sara loves to see everyday and the handsomest man in Sara's mind that she could ever met, Gilbert Grissom.
Grissom looks at everybody but stops at Sara and smiles, she smiles back and Greg coughs to get his attention, Grissom looked down at his assignment sheets, cleared his throat and said. "right cases, OK Catherine a homicide at the flamingo, Vartann is waiting."
Catherine gets up from her seat grabs the assignment sheet with a smile and as she was walking out of the room, Grissom turns to her and said. "And Catherine?"
Catherine turns in the doorway to look at him, he raised an eyebrow and said.
"Pay attention to the job not the man." Vartann and Catherine have been dating for a few weeks now, Catherine smiles bigger and replied. "you are the one to talk."
She looks over his shoulder to look at Sara and Sara looks away, Catherine looks at Grissom smirks and leaves the room.
Grissom shakes his head, looks back at the table and Warrick and Greg had been smiling but the moment he looked at them they lost it, Grissom sees Nick from the coroner of his eyes and he was looking down, he mentally sighed he knew how Nick felt about the blond, he shook it off, cleared his throat and went right back to the assignments.
"Warrick, Greg double at the Tangiers." He hands the assignment sheet to Warrick then Grissom looks at Nick. "Nick your solo at Henderson B & E ."
Nick takes the assignment sheet from his boss, then Grissom looks at Sara and said.
" and your with me at lake mead." they smile at each other once again and as he was handing the assignment sheet to Sara, the guys get up from their seats and while they were walking out Greg said. "I bet she is." the guys laughed and walked the rest of the way out.
Grissom looks back at the empty doorway with a raised eyebrow then looks at Sara and said. "aren't they tired of the side comment's concerning us?"
Sara gets up from her seat, walks up to him so they were face to face and she replied. "it's the team what do you think?"
Grissom nods, with a smile and said. "good point, you ready?"
Sara smiles again she couldn't help it when she was around him especially now that they have been a couple for a year now, which everybody knows but they have been keeping it professional so no one had to switch shifts. "with you always."
Grissom continued to smile and they turned to head to the locker room for their kits and as they were walking together down the hall, she turns to him and said. "so I have a question?"
They walk into the locker room, and as they were walking to their own lockers he looks at her and said. "yes Dear?"
she opens her locker, looks back at him and said. "A friend from Harvard called out of the blue and she is coming by to see me in a few weeks I was hoping that she could just stay with us." since they moved into a two bedroom house they had a spare room.
"sure that's fine."
"thank you."
He nods and continued to stare, she tilts her head a little and said. "what?"
"you have other friends?" He says with a small smirk
Sara acts like she is mad when she turns her head to her locker and says while grabbing her kit. "if you think that is funny how about you sleeping on the couch tonight?"
she shuts her locker door and turns to the door leading into the hall with a smile on her face, Grissom reaches for Sara and puts his hand on her shoulders and said in her ear. "I am sorry Sara it was only a joke."
Just when she was going to forgive him he said the words that makes her heart beat a little faster every time he says them. "I love you." he says that in a sweat voice and she knew he was saying them to get out of the trouble he thought he was in but she also knew that every time he says those three words he means them, she turns to him and they stare into each others eyes and she says back to him.
"I love you too and I know you were only joking, now we better get to work."
Grissom nods with his blue eyes twinkling, then turns to his locker grabs his kit, shuts the locker door and they both walk out into the hall side by side just how they like it.
