00:00 am

Walking into the lab, Catherine had a sense of … well she didn't know what it was. Maybe she forgot to do something or maybe it was the strange mood the lab was in. It was only the beginning of the shift but still nobody in the entire lab looked like they were busy at all. Not the lab techs, that were getting bored in their lab and not the rest of the team. 'Wait a minute where is the rest of the team?' Catherine thought to herself as she started to look for them.

She noticed that Grissom was just around the corner, his nose glued to whatever he had in his hands.

"Hey Grissom, got anything for me?" she said as she tried to look over his shoulder, managing to see the words "Hawaii" and "Italy" before Grissom turned around.

"Hey Catherine, you scared me" putting his clipboard close to his chest "I thought you were out, what happened with the DB over on Freemont?"

"Oh, yes… it's a deer, not a DB. Planning a vacation Gris?"

"What? Yes… no… maybe… I haven't decided yet, but more important, what do you mean a deer? Didn't you get a call for a hit and run with a DB?"

"Yes I did, there was no DB, just a deer that hit a car and then run" she couldn't stop laughing; bud did when she saw that Grissom didn't even smile.

"So… What now?"

"Now animal- control will take care of it, not us. They are trying to locate it. It had a chip."

"OK good. And no, I've got nothing for you, I've got nothing for the others either. Quiet night, I guess".

"It is Vegas Grissom, there is no such thing as a 'quiet night'. Someone will steal from someone or betray someone or kill someone".

"You're probably right. Everybody's in the break room. I'll be in my office if you need anything". He turned around to go to his office.

"Grissom, you deserve to go on vacation. Seriously".

"Well, if you say so Cath" and with that Grissom walked to his office and closed the door after him. Catherine in the meanwhile walked to the break room where Greg was eating a hamburger at the table, Sara was on the couch doing a crossword, Warrick and Nick stood by the counter.

"Want a cup of coffee, Cath?" Warrick offered when he saw her in the doorway.

"Yes, thank you. So… is this it for us today?"

"At least you were out, we've been here since the beginning of shift" Greg mumbled.

"Greg, don't talk with your mouth full, we barely understand you" Sara said across the room.

Swallowing the rest of his bite Greg tried again, "I'm sorry but I'm really bored, I can't take it anymore" slamming his head on the table.

"It's going to be alright. Don't overreact Greg" Warrick said as he sat next to Sara "Need help?"

"Thanks, but I want to try to finish it by myself, ok?"

"No problem."

"Here's something interesting. Grissom is going on vacation. Maybe Hawaii or Italy."

Silence fall on the room after Cath dropped that bomb. Sara was the first to speak. "A what?"

"Oh, I forgot. You don't know what a vacation is. It's a period of time that you are not at work, where you relax, take a break. 'A vacation' you know?"

"I've heard of such a thing. People tell me it's good for you", Greg joked.

Nick stood suddenly "It is serious Greg. It's another piece of evidence that proves that Grissom has a girlfriend."

"A what now, Nick?" Sara asked

"It's Nick's new theory", Warrick started answering Sara's question when Nick interrupted him.

"It is not a theory, it's a fact."

"On what grounds?"

"I'll tell you on what. First, the beard. It went away, it came back, and it went way again. Second when the shift is over he goes home, days off he's not here" now Warrick interrupts Nick "No, no Nick. I refuse to listen to the work of a paranoid man. That's you Nick"

"Wait a second" jumping in front of Warrick and trying to stop him, "Cath, back me up on this"

"I have to say his latest behavior is odd. He's not himself, that's for sure. He didn't say anything to me but you learn quickly that people lie. Maybe he's hiding something and doesn't want us to know"

"Perhaps with good reason. It turns out that we are very nosey, I'll be outside" Sara said, walking out of the room.

"And where are you going?" Catherine asked.

"To the bathroom Cath, can I?"

"You may Sara"

"Thanks mom", laughing to herself as she walked out, she still heard Greg saying "I want to hear more Nick, tell me more"

As she continued walking and laughing she ended up not in the bathroom but knocking on Grissom's door "Can I or may I came in? I'm not sure anymore."

"Without saying, you know you can."

Stepping into his office and closing the door after her, she walked up to him, stopping right in front of him and saying with a smile, "Hey".

Getting out of his chair and standing by her, taking her hand in his, he said "Hey to you too, beautiful" pulling her in to a warm embrace, moving his hand through her hair and kissing her with the desire he had ever since he walked out of their apartment.

"You got out fast today. Did you have something to do?"

"No. Why?"

"Not planning a vacation then? I hear Italy is lovely this time of the year"

"Cathy told on me, hun?"

"She did", Sara said, kissing him again softly, smiling and walking away to sit at one of the office chairs.

"Why did you do that?"

"Because you are vibrating"

Grabbing his phone he saw that Brass was calling him. "Sorry honey."

"Yes Brass". Sara could see his face becoming more and more serious, after another minute he finally said "we'll be there soon."

"What happened?"

"We have something new to do. Four bodies, one household. There's a witness too"

"How bad is it?" she wanted to know why he was so serious suddenly. They saw worse cases.

"It's bad enough, find everyone. We've got two minutes."

"No problem."

As she walked out he started to gather his things. Only one thought passed his mind, 'Please don't let it be him. Not here, not know'.
