Chapter One:
Summary: Grissom is away on sabbatical, and he calls Sara at the same time every night. He always expects her to answer. What happens when she doesn't answer, but another guy does?
Sara arrived just in time for her nightly call from the one and only true love of her life. She walked into their bedroom intending to read and wait for the call. She changed into her pajamas and snuggled into their king size bed. She eventually fell asleep. Later, Sara awoke to the shrill sound of her cell phone. Groggily, she rolled over and flipped her phone open.
"Sidle," she answered in a sleepy tone.
"Did I wake you?" Grissom asked.
"Yeah, but it's OK. I was trying to wait for your call, but I guess I fell asleep", Sara replied.
"I'm sorry. I forgot about the time change," Grissom replied in a heartfelt tone.
"It's OK babe." Fully awake now, Sara asked, "So, what's new?"
"Nothing much, just missing you."
"Aw babe, I miss you too. Two more weeks, right?"
"Yep, then I will be back in our bed holding you."
"I can't wait. I can't sleep without you."
"So what's new at the lab?" Grissom asked
"Oh, nothing much" Sara answered glancing over at the alarm clock "What's new with you?"
" I'm grading papers as we speak but, other than that nothing much"
" How are the students responding to your lectures?"
" Falling asleep"
"Speaking of falling asleep if I don't get some soon I'll be falling asleep at work" Sara said in between yawns"
"Alrighty Sar, I'll talk to you tomorrow" Grissom said
"Well, babe, I better get going so I can get some beauty sleep," Sara said as she yawned once again.
"You don't need any beauty sleep. You're already the most beautiful woman ever," Grissom replied. Sara could almost see him smiling his million-watt smile that he reserved especially for her.
"Bye, honey. I love you."
"I love you, too. Bye, babe." They both ended their call and flipped their phones shut.
Sara rolled over and grabbed his pillow that still smelled like him. She soon dozed back to sleep.
Grissom placed his phone on the nightstand, rolled over on his back, and whispered to himself in the empty room, "I love her so much it hurts."
Outside of Gil and Sara's townhouse, the driver in the black truck looked toward their window and whispered, "I will get you, my Sara. Your BUGMAN can't protect you forever."
