Two Weeks in the Bahamas - Chapter 1

After the Graveyard Shift had solved one of their hardest cases they were all very exhausted. They had all somehow not handled it very well. They all went out for drinks after. After a few drinks Catherine sighed, "You guys we all deserve a long vacation."

"We do. We all have enough vacation time racked up why don't we go somewhere?" said Nick.

"Where would we go?" asked Grissom.

"How about somewhere beautiful like Hawaii or the Bahamas?" suggested Catherine.

"I'm in," said Sara.

"I'll go," said Warrick.

"You know I'm in," said Greg

"I need it," said Nick.

Everyone looked at Grissom. "What?" he said.

"Well are you coming?" asked Catherine.

"Sure why the hell not," he said.

"Okay so where?" asked Greg.

"Bahamas," said Grissom. "I'll book the flight tomorrow morning. I'll call you guys after I have the arrangements."

"I'll call Ecklie and tell him we are taking the next week off," said Catherine.

"Only a week?" wined Greg.

"Fine two weeks," said Grissom with a smile.

"Two weeks it is. I'll leave Lindsay home with my mom," said Catherine.

They all got up and went home to rest.

The next morning Grissom woke up early not able to sleep very well, he booked the flight and got a four bedroom beach house for them to stay in. He called Catherine first to tell her and she said she had already called Ecklie. Catherine called Warrick and Greg to let them know the information. Grissom called Sara and Nick to let them know. They met at Grissom's house and car pooled to the airport from there. Late that morning they were all on a plane to the Bahamas and were not to return for another two weeks.

On the plane Catherine sat by Warrick, Greg sat by Nick, and Grissom sat by Sara. Catherine ended up sleeping on Warrick's shoulder. Sara fell asleep and ended up on Grissom's shoulder. Grissom read a book. Nick fell asleep and then Greg did too and ended up leaning on Nick. Warrick listened to music and watched a movie. When the plane was about to land Nick woke up and noticed Greg and pushed him off of him. Catherine woke up and saw Nick pushing Greg off of him and laughed. Greg woke up, "What's so funny Cath?"

"Nothing Greg," she said trying to calm down. Nick didn't think it was funny. Grissom woke Sara up lightly and told her they were landing.

They got off the plane and got the luggage. They rented two cars. Grissom drove one with Sara in the passenger seat and Nick in the back. Catherine drove the other with Warrick in the passenger seat and Greg in the back. They went to the beach house and when they parked the cars everyone was quick to unload. Nick was the first in the house and claimed his room followed by Greg. Catherine and Warrick grabbed a room to share, leaving Sara and Grissom to share the last room. While they were all in their rooms unpacking Catherine asked Warrick what he thought would happened since Sara and Griss were sharing a room. Warrick laughed and said, "Hopefully they will just get together already." Catherine joined him in laughing.

Catherine, Warrick, Nick, and Greg finished unpacking first and met up in the living room. Catherine whispered to the guys, "We have to get them together sometime in the next two weeks. The sooner the better." They all smiled and nodded in agreement as Sara walked into the room.

"Hey guys. What are you talking about?" Sara said as she sat down on the couch next to Nick.

"Oh nothing… Just that we can't wait to see how much fun we can have in the next two weeks," said Nick.

"Oh… We should all go to dinner tonight and get some drinks relax," said Sara.

"Sounds good," Grissom said as he entered the room.

They all went out to a nice restaurant for dinner and then went to a nice club they had heard about from their waiter at the restaurant. They got some drinks and sat down in a booth. Warrick asked Catherine to dance and she went. Greg spotted a girl across the room and went to her to dance. Nick soon joined a beautiful brunette on the dance floor leaving Sara and Grissom alone at the booth. Sara kept drinking. She wanted to have fun. They had all taken a cab there so they would all catch cabs home. After a while of drinking Grissom convinced Sara that they should probably head back. Catherine and Warrick had left earlier together. Nick left with the lovely brunette he met and Greg left with the beautiful blonde he met. Grissom helped Sara out to the cab because she was stubbing. They had had the same amount to drink but Grissom could hold his alcohol better. He helped her back into the beach house when they got there. Catherine and Warrick were passed out and Nick and Greg were nowhere to be found. Grissom took Sara to their room and she passed out as she hit the bed. He took her shoes off and laid them on the floor. Since Nick and Greg were not there he figured he would use Nick's room for the night. Assuming Nick wouldn't be back until the next day.

The next morning Grissom woke up early not getting too much of a good night's sleep. He made some coffee and was soon joined by Catherine and Warrick. Eventually Nick and Greg came back. "I'm assuming you too had a good night," said Catherine looking at the two men who had walked in one right after the other with huge grins on their faces.

"Oh yeah," said Greg.

"Hmmm… Coffee looks good," said Nick.

Eventually, Sara came out of her room holding her head. Grissom grabbed some aspirin and a glass of water and handed to her. "Thanks," she said just above a whisper.

"No problem," he said now taking the water from her hand and handing her a cup of coffee. She sat down at the table with the rest of the team.

"Someone had a fun night," laughed Nick.

"Yeah… Now a horrible headache," said Sara still holding her pounding head. "Why'd you let me drink so much Griss?"

"I don't know I drank just as much as you and I'm fine," he said as she gave him a nasty look.

"Guys we're going to need food if we're going to be here for two weeks," said Catherine.

"Yeah and who is going to go get some?" asked Grissom. "I'm paying for you're stay here and I paid for the plane tickets here and back."

"Griss has a point we should all be paying for something," said Nick.

"I'll get the groceries then," said Catherine. "Anyone want to come with?"

"I'll go," said Warrick as he followed her out the door.

"There is something going on between those two I know it," said Greg. "Ouch… What was that for Nicky?"

"You deserved it. If there is something going on between them and they want us to know they will tell us. Leave it go," said Nick.

"I'm going back to bed," said Sara standing up and getting her footing and she went back to her room.

"So what are we going to do today?" asked Greg.

"I think I'm just going to relax on the beach today and read a book," said Grissom.

"That's boring," said Greg.

"Well I didn't say you had too Greggo. I just said I was going to," said Grissom standing up to go to his room that he shared with Sara to get a book.

"Well Nicky it's just you and me. What do you want to do?" said Greg.

"I think relaxing on the beach sounds good. Get a nice tan, check out the babes running by," said Nick.

"Ohh… if you put it that way it does," said Greg following Nick down the hallway to go put on his swimming trunks.

Grissom relaxed on the beach reading a book. Nick and Greg not too far away from him relaxed on the beach as well. Sara was still passed out in her room when Warrick and Catherine got back and put the groceries away.
