Summary: What could alcohol, a pair of ratty boxers, and a reunion all have in common? What's the truth behind how Sara and Grissom met?
A trip down embarrassing lane for two of our CSI's
Bachelorette Parties
"Sidle here."
"Sara? It's Jamie."
"Jamie, hi. It's been a long time since we've talked; how are you?"
"I'm great; I didn't wake you, did I?"
"No, I'm at work, actually."
"Oh, I'm sorry, is this a bad time?"
"I'm on my way to a scene, so I've got a few minutes. What's up?"
"It's Amy's ten year anniversary soon and they want to renew their vows."
"Ok, when is it so I can get the time off?"
"Two weeks and don't worry, we're all coming to Vegas."
"When are you getting here, so I can be off of work the whole time?"
"We are getting there on Thursday and going home on Monday morning."
"The last time I saw you, we got very drunk." Jamie chuckled and Greg looked at her with shock.
"I remember. I still have the pictures and am looking at them now. Do you still have the boxers?"
"Yes, you aren't going to make me get new ones, are you?"
"Possibly; it all depends on how much of a recreation she wants. I can't believe you still have them."
"I sleep in them. Um, I'm getting strange looks from my co-worker and we just got to our crime scene. I need to go."
"I'll call you tomorrow around ten to give you all the details."
"Ok, by Jamie."
"Bye Sara." Greg got out of the car, ready to interrogate Sara, but she would have none of it. She was faster at getting her kit and starting to process the scene. From the second she hung up the phone, she had been deflecting his questions and attempts to get more information out of her. She had to give him credit though, for his persistence. Greg was still going strong when they got back to the lab, logged their evidence and went into the break room. Nick and Catherine watched her continually ignore Greg's questions as she got a cup of coffee.
"What's going on?" Nick asked.
"Sara received an interesting phone call while we were on the way to our scene. She revealed that the last time she had seen this person, Jamie, that she had gotten very drunk and that she sleeps in something she got that night."
"Interesting." Catherine commented. Sara finally turned to Greg.
"Greg, I've been ignoring you for hours. Give it up." He shook his head.
"Yeah man, she's almost as private as Grissom about private life."
"Is there something you would like to know about my private life, Nick?" Nick flinched and Sara smirked. As Nick turned around, he vowed to always sit, facing the door from now on.
"No, Greg is trying to learn about something Sara did."
"When?" Grissom asked.
"I don't know. All I heard was, 'Last time I saw you, we got very drunk.'" Grissom smirked and tried to cover it up.
"What?" Sara immediately asked.
"Nothing."
"Liar." she said. He faced her and decided to forge on.
"Do you remember the first question you ever asked me?"
"I was hung over, but I think it had something to do with weather affecting insect arrival on a decomposing body." she said fairly confidently, but with confusion.
"No, try again." Nick, Greg and Catherine remained silent. It was rare to get a glimpse into the private life of either one of them and now both of them were opening up a little.
"Why don't you just tell me?" Sara said after another minute of searching her brain for their first meeting.
"You asked me if I was a magician." The three observers just laughed and Sara felt her face flush with embarrassment.
"Do you remember now?"
"Yes."
"Well, what happened?" Catherine wanted to know.
"Don't tell them, Grissom." Sara warned.
"It's my story and I can tell it if I want to." He shot back.
"I still have what you gave me." she blurted as a last ditch effort to prevent his telling of the story. His eyes widened in shock.
"Wh-wh-what?"
"I still have them. I wear them all the time actually."
"You're kidding, right?" He was glad that the counter was there to hold him up.
"Nope."
"Come on, I want to hear Sara's pick up line." Greg pleaded as Warrick walked in.
"Sara's got a pick up line; did it work?"
"To a degree." Grissom commented. All eyes widened in shock and looked back and forth between the two. Warrick was too close to the door for Sara to escape, plus the chair she had chosen to sit in made noises when the occupant moved too much.
"You tried to pick up Grissom?" Warrick asked and Sara remained silent.
"Come on, Sara, try it on Warrick." Grissom urged playfully. She gave him a glare and stood to approach Warrick.
"Are you a magician?"
"No, why?" he answered.
"Because, surely my eyes are playing tricks on me for you to look that good." Sara had added a sultry tone to her already low tone to make her sound lustful. Warrick swallowed hard and even Catherine was stunned.
"I like that; may I use it?" Nick asked and unknowingly brought everyone back to reality.
"Sure." Sara said dismissively.
"So, how did that awesome pick up line only work, 'to a degree'?" Catherine asked. It was Grissom's turn to pale.
"No reason."
"Liar." Both Sara and Catherine accused him this time.
"You were so eager when it embarrassed me, you might as well finish it." Sara said. He cleared his throat.
"Um, ok…Sara had been fueled with liquid courage when she tried to pick me up at the bar. She…she sat in my lap and told me she was on a scavenger hunt…I helped her and someone took a picture as proof she succeeded." Grissom had begun to sweat at this point.
"What was she looking for?" Catherine asked. Grissom deferred to Sara with a nod of his head.
"I had to find a cute, single guy and try to pick him up. If he responded positively, then I had to sit in his lap and ask for his underwear."
"You gave her your underwear!?" Catherine was stunned. It just didn't seem like something he would ever do. Greg pieced it all together and looked at Sara.
"You still have it? You still sleep in it?"
"Yes to both." she whispered.
"Anything else?" Warrick asked. Both Sara and Grissom were staring at inanimate objects and both smiled just a little.
"Nothing." "Nope, that's the gist of it." They both answered at the same time.
"You're both lying." Catherine accused.
"Sara, may I see you in my office please?" Grissom asked and completely ignored Catherine's accusation.
