Sara woke up to the sun blaring in her eyes and groaned as she stuffed her face in one of the pillows trying to shield her eyes from the bright light, she eventually sat up and sat on the bed her eyes landing on the photo she kept by her bedside.

She really didn't know why she kept it by the bed it's been months since the marriage ended, but she couldn't bring her heart to putting the photos away especially this one of their wedding day,

She flipped the photo over not wanting to look at it anymore before she got off the bed and got ready for work.

She turned on the T.V as she made a pot of coffee and whistled a tune as she got out the contents of her meal.

She was listening to the news about how three bodies were found in a house outside of Lake Mead.

And knew that was the reason why her phone rang.

"Hello Russell." She said into the mouthpiece.

"Hey Sara, Its all hands on deck we need you here ASAP."

"I'll be there."

Sara walked through the halls of the lab and turned into the break room, her face breaking out into a smile when she saw a familiar red hair talking to D.B, Greg and Brody

"Catherine?" her excitement only expanded when her old friend turned around causing Sara to walk over and hug her friend, "What are you doing here, not that it isn't good to see you but you're supposed to be some big wig in the F.B.I now what made you come back to us little people." Sara said teasingly.

"Well I'm actually here on business those three people who were killed outside of Lake Mead we believe are victims of a serial killer that the F.B.I is investigating.

"Yes, so we called in Catherine for her expertise on the case."

"Great we get to work together, just like old times." Sara said with a smile.

"Yeah Sara about that I also asked someone else to help us with the case." D.B said "Actually two people since one of the murders happened in San Diego we asked Nick to join in."

Sara's smile grew wider at the mention of her other friend.

"And the second person?" Sara asked, D.B looked at his watch "They should be here by now"

"Sorry I'm late." A voice said behind Sara causing her to freeze and her heart to speed up rapidly, she turned to come face to face with her ex-husband.

"Grissom." Greg said cheerfully before walking to his former boss for a handshake. "Good to see you."

"You too Greg, You grew up on me." Grissom said trying to not look at the only person he wanted to look at in this moment.

Sara looked at D.B "May I speak to you for a moment, alone."

D.B nodded and Sara left the room as fast as lightning not even bothering to say Hi or even to look at her ex-husband, she felt like she was going to faint, her breathing was uneven and shallow and she felt everything around her was spinning.

She ran into D.B's office and paced back and forth her palm on her forehead hoping her head would stop pounding.

She heard footsteps enter the room and the door shut and heard D.B begin to speak.

"Sara before you start-"

"Why would you bring him here, what made you bring him here without consulting me first"

"Sara I know you are upset and believe me if it wasn't a dire situation I wouldn't have brought him here but I need his help, and I would really appreciate it if you would cooperate with him during his time here we need all the help we can get and he is a very experienced criminalist and entomologist."

"You don't need to tell me that I was married to him remember" Sara said before looking at D.B and sighing "Just keep him far away from me that is all I ask."

Sara walked out and walked back into the break room, noticing it was empty and figuring that Catherine and Gil were making the rounds.

She headed straight for the coffee pot hoping the Coffee would calm her, as she poured the hot liquid into the cup she heard footsteps enter the room and silently prayed it wasn't him.

Her prayers were not answered.

"Sara." He said causing her knees to go slightly weak before she pulled herself together.

"Yes" she said not looking at him.

"I hope it doesn't bother you that I'm here."

"What would make you say that, I'm perfectly fine with you being here."

"Really?" he said a glimmer of hope rising in his chest. "Yes really it's no problem." Sara said still not looking at him.

"Great." Grissom said smiling before turning to walk away, "I do have some conditions though."

"What are they?" he said fear starting to bubble up inside him.

Sara stopped looking at her cup and looked at him "Other than to Discuss the case, I would appreciate it if you had no contact with me while you are here, seeing you is already hard enough." Sara said before starting to walk away.

"Sara." He said grabbing her hand.

Sara shook him off "And do not touch me, you lost every right to me so do not come here and think that I would just come back to you with open arms begging and pleading for you to come back to me because you know as much as I do that is not my style, so like I said other than the case please stay away from me."

"Sara."

"What do you want from me, you ended it remember not me, all I ever did was love you and all you ever did was hurt me and then you ended our marriage over a Phone Call! And then I got the divorce papers do you know how much it hurt, can you even fathom the hell I have been through these past couple months…I can tell you right now you can't so please just stay the hell away from me."
