Ghosts

(9-24-07)

Sara Sidle sat in the passenger seat of the Denali on her way to a crime scene with her boss Gil Grissom. She tried to look passive, but inside she was anxious and kept sending quick glances to her phone. A sudden painful muscle cramp claimed her leg. Her spontaneous movement to massage it caused Grissom to look at her.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine; just a muscle cramp." He noticed she never once looked at him and also was applying significant pressure to her thigh. He glanced over at her a few more times but never noticed the solitary tear escape her eye from the sheer amount of pain she was in. He pulled up at the scene a few minutes later.
