Moonlight Walks
By Briana Douglas
Sara thought back to the day she left the Las Vegas Crime Lab. She cried every night that she thought about him. No matter how hard she tried she could get over Gilbert Grissom. It hurt to think about what the team was up to now and days. She wanted to know how Nicky was with his new girlfriend, and if Greg had a girlfriend. And if Warrick finally made his move towards Catherine. She missed them all. It had been five years since she left. She had gone back to school and was now teaching at a College in San Francisco. She now owned her mothers old beach house. They just got done building a hotel and main road near by. She loved walking the beaches at night to see what the ocean had brought for her. Her mother would take her on long walks when her father would get to violent for her to handle.
Tonight she had to go to a convention tonight. And she wasn't to keen about going to these things. But her mom came over and took her to the mall to get the perfect dress. In her mom's eyes it was a way to meet a fine man. But Sara couldn't be with anyone but Gil Grissom. Her heart still belongs to him and always will.
With Grissom
Grissom was pissed this morning. After work he told the team to meet him in the brake room before they left. Catherine was the last one to enter the brake room. Well more like waddle. She was almost 8 months pregnant now. Warrick helped his wife into the seats. Then the room fell silent for Grissom.
"Well…I just have one thing to say. We are all going to San Francisco for a team bonding convention. So you all need to go home and pack for a week. Well leave tomorrow around 8 am. Get your rest and be there on time." Grissom finished then left the room. Catherine hated the man that he had become since Sara left. He moped around not caring what went on around him. But she left her husband and was excited for the trip. Only because it would be the last one till the baby was born.
Next Day
Grissom was the first one at the air port. But with in the hour the team was boarding the plan. When they landed Grissom grabbed two taxis.
"Let's check in first." The team agreed. So as they drove to the hotel the boys looked over at Grissom. He was looking out the window with a blank expression. Of course the boys were used to it, but it still worried them.
The group checked into the hotel with no problems at all. When Catherine walked into her room she went right to the window. It was just a beautiful view of the ocean. She promised her self she would walk on it before she left. The boys joined Warrick and Cath in their room. They all were watching TV and laughing about what happened the week before. That is until they started to reminisce about the old times. And Sara's name was used. Grissom had just walked into the room and froze in his tracks to the name. He then looked at Catherine who gave him a sympathetic look. He then walked by Catherine and sat next to her.
"Those were the days." He said and everyone took a deep breath. Greg got up to turn up the air conditioner when he saw a figure out by the shore.
"Hey is that Sara?"
"Greg nock it off. We all now you miss her but seriously come sit down." Catherine said seeing Grissom fall back into himself. Greg what he was told. But he knew that was Sara and he was going to prove it. The team all separated into their rooms a little later that night.
Grissom couldn't sleep so he decided to go for a walk. He went out on the shore. He looked up at the starts and saw a meteor shower. He loved to watch the stars and see what they were doing. He sat down to put his feet in the water. He looked down the shore line and saw a little shop. Catherine's baby was due soon so he thought tomorrow he would visit and see what they got. Tomorrow was going to be better he told himself.
Grissom lay down but was startled by a golden retriever.
"Hey boy. Where'd you come from?" Grissom asked petting the dog. He noticed a collar but the dog's ears perked and Grissom looked where the dog was looking. A light from the small shop was on and the dog bolted for the house. He wondered who was there. He just has to find out tomorrow.
