Happy birthday to a friend of mine, this is for you!
Surprise Visit
"I can not believe that guy is going to walk." Sara said disgustedly to Nick as the two sat in the locker room preparing to leave.
"I know." Nick said sounding just as upset.
They had worked tirelessly on the case of a young woman found in Lake Mead but as it turns out her COD had not been drowning it had been strangulation and the lake had just been an easy place to dump the body.
Nick and Sara had no way of proving that the husband was the one that actually had committed the murder despite the fact that he'd been having an affair and the wife had recently found out about it, leaving him the one with the motive to kill her so she wouldn't divorce him, which would force him to pay her alimony. Nick and Sara might have found a motive but they had found no hard evidence to link the husband to the murder, which meant the guy would walk. That made Nick and Sara both angry and sick to their stomachs.
"Listen why don't we go blow off some steam, let's go for a beer, I'll buy." Nick offered.
"Rain check? I really just want to go home and take a hot shower and get some sleep."
"Alright, I'll see you later then." Nick replied with a smile before he left the locker room to head home.
Sara left soon after that. On her way home the traffic was crazy, she sighed all she wanted to do is get home. She turned on the radio and sang along to the song that was playing on her favorite station. She finally pulled into her driveway forty five minutes later.
When she opened her front door she nearly fell over.
"Grissom." She said quietly.
"Hi Sara, we need to talk." He said quietly, with just the slightest hint of a smile on his face as he sat on the couch.
He'd been sitting there for a while waiting for her to get home.
Sara wasn't quite sure what to do, she'd missed Grissom terribly but she couldn't just forget how much he'd hurt her by asking her for a divorce could she?
Grissom could sense her hesitation. He got up off of the couch and walked towards her.
"Come on, I know I don't deserve any favors from you but could you just talk to me, please?"
She sighed inwardly, she really had missed him dearly, she had dreamed of the day when he'd come back to her and now here he was and part of her wanted to fall into his arms and just completely forget about the divorce and all the pain it had caused her but the other part of her wanted to punch his lights out for hurting her so badly.
"Let's go sit down and talk." She told him.
He nodded and followed her as she went and sat down.
She looked deep into his familiar pretty blue eyes. The stress over her difficult case became secondary and her heart started pounding harder.
He was just as nervous and he thought his own heart might very well beat out of his chest.
He looked deep into her gorgeous brown eyes, took a deep breath before saying "I'd like to start by saying I'm so sorry for hurting you."
