7 Days Earlier
"Thanks for calling Royal Norway Cruise Lines, my name is Jerri, how can I help you?"
The call center for the cruise line was busy because of the impending initiation cruise on the newest cruise line Empress Alayna. The computers had been down for two days and customers were going crazy trying to confirm their reservations.
"Jerri, this is Mrs. Grant, and I want to speak to your supervisor" came the angry voice in Jerri's ear. It wasn't the first time she had heard this today.
"Sure Mrs. Grant, do you mind if I pull up your reservation first so I can get you to the right supervisor," she lied, "Our supervisors all have different responsibilities."
"Yes, that's fine, my reservation number is 56223498 and its under John Grant, Dr John Grant, my husband."
"Sure Mrs. Grant, one sec,' she said in her sweetest voice, trying to calm the angry woman down.
"OK thanks Mrs. Grant, I have your reservation up, what seems to be the problem?"
"Look you little bitch," Mrs. Grant raged, "I told you to put your damn supervisor on the phone. If I had wanted to talk to a flunky like you, I could go to McDonald's. Now get your lazy ass up out of your chair and get the supervisor so I can have an intelligent conversation!"
"Mrs. Grant," Jerri said, nervously, "I can't allow you to speak to me like that… its simply unprofessional and unacceptable."
"Are you having trouble understanding English? I am the wife of Dr. John Grant of Massachusetts and if you don't put your damn supervisor on the phone NOW I will sue you personally and your company. Now do as you are told!"
"Please hold!" Jerri asked as she dropped the caller on hold.
Jerri stood up and summoned her supervisor Peggy to help her. Peggy came immediately over to where Jerri stood and asked what was going on?
"Peggy, this woman is screaming and swearing at me, demanding to speak to you!" she explained.
"No problem honey, go ahead and transfer the call to my extension," Peggy replied as she walked to her desk and logged in to her computer.
Jerri's number popped up on Peggy's extension and she answered the call. Jerri explained what had transpired and Mrs. Grant's threats to sue the company if she failed to do as she was told. Peggy, understanding how frustrating this type of abuse can be, tried to calm her young employee down.
"Hey Jerri, don't forget, there are a lot of unhappy people in the world. Just thank God you don't have to go home to one of them!" and with that, Jerri transferred Mrs. Grant to Peggy's extension.
LATER THAT DAY
Peggy saw Jerri walking out of the office, she still looked upset. Peggy stopped her and inquired as to whether her day had gotten better?
"No, that woman really ticked me off!" she replied. "But I'll get over it!" she added. Quickly. Maybe too quickly.
"Hey it comes with the job!" Peggy counseled the younger woman, "Don't take it home!"
Jerri agreed that she would not take it home, but she patted her pocket as she walked out into the warm Miami air.
GRISSOM SARA ROMANCE GRISSOM SARA ROMANCE GRISSOM SARA ROMANCE
Gil Grissom, Sara Sidle, Greg Sanders and Nick Stokes arrived at the Miami International Airport on time, and ready for their adventure.
Greg almost bounced to the baggage carousel, extremely excited about his luck.
Grissom, as the head of the shift with the highest solve rate in the country on bug related crimes, had been asked to present information to a large gathering of recently promoted criminal investigators from the FBI in Virginia at a week-long conference aboard the Empress Alayna.
Thankfully, Grissom was given funding to bring three people with him to assist in his presentation and to help with the experiments and workstations that needed to be set up.
Naturally Nick and Sara would be going. But Greg was sure Catherine would be the third person to go. Fortunately for Greg, Catherine had previous commitments that she could not get out of, and, truth be told, she really didn't want to leave Lou for a whole week. Not when things were so tenuous with their relationship. Catherine made her excuses, claiming Lindsay had school issues and suggested to Grissom that Greg would be excited for the opportunity.
Excited didn't come anywhere near capturing Greg's reaction.
"Florida and the Caribbean?" he asked. "Let me think about it for a while, Yes!"
Nick and Sara were also excited, but much more subdued than Greg. They all retrieved their luggage and found the chauffer holding the name "Dr. Grissom" on a cardboard sign near the taxi entrance.
"Dr. Grissom," the chauffer said, "I'm Scott and I'm here to take you to the port."
"Thank you Scott!" Grissom replied, "We are all here and ready to go!"
"Do you have any additional bags for your presentations?" Scott asked.
"No, they were all shipped ahead, so our personal luggage is all we have!" Grissom advised.
They followed Scott out to the black stretch limo, depositing their bags in the trunk, and getting ready for their adventure.
Scott had put out a bottle of champagne and four glasses, telling them to help themselves, courtesy of the cruise line, revealing that they were now considered VIPs of the cruise line and to expect only the best.
Grissom smiled at his crew. They were in for a treat.
Little did he know, he was in for a treat too!
