A:N: Okay, this is kind of a short intro into the third part in my little series... not sure it has a name.. anyway, this is about the case anda new little delimna in theplot... here goes:
"Hey Gris," I say, walking into his office after leaving Warrick in the locker room. I smile at Grissom, getting an inquisitive look in return.
"Yes?" he asks. His eyes search my face, confused at my suddenly happy aura.
"So... where are we on the Andrews-Robbins case?" I cock my head.
"Well, Sara and I paid Mr. Samson a visit..." I know he is trying to make me impatient.
"And?" I press.
"He claims all he did was buy the women a drink. He never drugged them," Grissom gives me one of his half-smiles.
I grin, "Of course he didn't... so did you get anything else?" I am so anxious to get this guy. I also know that if I don't press to get Samson, Sara will go out of her way to get him. Sometimes, I'm surprised Sara hasn't killed anyone out of anger yet.
"Well, I paid Doc Robbins another visit," he says. "And he found a pubic hair on Shelly Andrews..." I raise my eyebrows hopefully. "It matches Samson."
"Okay then... we know he bought them drinks and had sex with them," I say. "Now we need to connect him to the Rohypnol. Then we got him."
"Well we know he's lying about the drugging. Doc is positive that they were drugged with their drinks, so now we need the drugs and his prints on the bottle." Grissom nods, almost to himself.
I look at him, unbelievingly, "Can't we get a warrant for his house? This should be enough evidence!" Sara walks up, her eyes lighting up at the mention of a warrant.
"We have a warrant?" she asks, looking just as impatient as I am.
"Greg went to get it," Grissom says, unsmilingly.
"You mean Greg got it," says Greg, as he walks up behind Sara.
I grin, and respond, "Let's get him!" Greg and Sara laugh at my enthusiasm, even though we all know that they are just as anxious to get the girls' killer in jail.
Just as we pass the break room, on our way out to Greg's Tahoe, Sara stops. "Uh, guys, I'll catch up to you." She says, and goes into the break room. I see Greg back up a few paces to peek inside.
Just as he and I suspected, Nick is in the room, too. He and Sara start whispering. Then something that surprises us: Nick leans down and kisses Sara.
"Dude," Greg is struck dumb. I smile widely, proud that Sara has gotten over Grissom. Way to go girl, I think.
I start walking again, but stop suddenly, when I see that I am the only one walking. Greg is still staring at the couple. But, I see someone who I immediately knew shouldn't have seen the kiss: Grissom. He is standing stock-still, watching Nick and Sara. I see hurt in his eyes for a brief moment, before he turns away and continues out to the car.
I watch him, and then look back at the break room again. Nick's back is turned, getting coffee. Sara is watching Grissom walk away.
