Chapter Two: The never ended shift part one
Sara gets to the locker room and set her cup of coffee down on the bench and unlock her locker. Sara open up her locker door and then set her purse down inside of the locker and starts looking through her purse to find some Tylenol, but she does not have any. Just then Catherine comes into the locker room and is all smile as she gets into her locker.
"Sara, you need to get a move on Nick is waiting for you!"
"Cath do you have any extra strength Tylenol, because I have a splitting headache?"
"Sure Sara here you go (hands Sara the Tylenol). Also thank you again for picking up Lindsey from school last Wednesday when she had to go home sick and for watching her on Thursday and Friday seeing that I had to testify in court on cases that I worked on, all three days (Sara swallows the Tylenol)."
"No problem Cath we watch tv, Lindsey also sleeps some too and then Lindsey and I each take turns reading pages from Charlotte's web out loud, for the chapters she had to read for English class. How is Lindsey feeling today?"
"A lot better Sara, but I did keep her home for school today despite her bugging me to let her go to school. I need to get going and head to the Police department to interview the rapist from the case the two of us work on together over the weekend."
"I want to do that Cath! And it sounds like Lindsey feels better."
"She does and If you did not run late maybe Grissom would have let you do the interview."
"Great he is making me start a new case as punishment for being late. He knows I hate starting a new case before I close the one I am working on."
"Which is why he making you start a new case and not doing the interview with the rapist, bye Sara."
"Bye."
With that Catherine walks out of the locker room and Sara puts her black forensic jacket on. Sara then grabs her purse, kit and coffee then leaves the locker room and heads outside to meet Nick in the parking lot. When Nick sees Sara's walking toward the SUV, he jumps out of the SUV and takes her kit. Nick then open the backseat door on the driver side and put Sara crime scene kit on the backseat, while Nick is doing this Sara gets into the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. Nick close the back door and then walks up to the driver door and then he open the door, as Nick gets behind the wheel he is thinking Sara's never lets anyone else drive, she hate being a passenger and Nick is also thinking the way Sara is acting this evening is so unlike herself. Nick starts the suv up and then he backs out of the parking space. Nick then pulls out of the parking lot and starts driving toward the palms.
"Sara, you know Brass is going to be very mad at the two of us for taking so long to get to the crime scene. I don't want to sound like I am lectures' you, but it is not very professional of you to run twenty minutes late for work. In addition by run late you have given the killer more time to get out of town."
"Nick, don't even think about continuing this speech I am in no mood to hear it. Grissom already told me not to me late again and he also yell at me for not getting my cases paperwork in at the end of shift Friday."
"Sara, are you ok, you keep rubbing your forehead?"
"I just have a headache, but the Tylenol that I take several minutes ago in the locker room should kick in soon and I will be fine. But can we not talk the rest of the way to the crime scene?"
"That is fine Sara."
Neither Nick nor Sara talks the rest of the way to the crime scene. Sara leans her seat back and then closes her eyes for the rest of the ride to the Palms. Eight and half minutes later Nick pulls the SUV into the parking lot of the Palms and parks behind Jim Brass Car. The first thing Sara sees after opening her eyes is Jim Brass staring at her through the passengers' window of the SUV.
