Chapter 2

Griss had been acting weird ever since they got this case. Sara wasn't sure if he was mad at her or if he was just trying to avoid her. She knew that things have been weird ever since she had asked him to "Pin Me" a few weeks ago. That was a wonderful day for her, for a split second she had felt the full weight of Gil pressing into her. Something she never thought would have happened. At least anywhere outside of her dreams. But ever since he had exited that house he was acting like he couldn't bear to be in her presence any longer than necessary. Even when she had called him to see if he needed help he had blown her off. But when he came out after his solo walk through he looked at her as if she were going to disappear. It almost looked like he was about to cry. She didn't know how to react to this startling turn of events. So Sara just focused on her work. The one thing that had always been the distraction for her when life wasn't going her way. As if it ever did!! Her entire life felt like one disappointment after another. After all the different foster homes she got moved in an out of and all the different pigs who thought they could control her. Work was the only sanctuary she felt like she had sometimes. Especially once she moved out to Vegas. For the first time in a long time she felt as thought she had a family. Even when Gil went into one of his moods. As bad as she wanted him, she knew that he would never return any feelings beyond that of friendship. Which she was trying to come to terms with.

Although she could have sworn there was something there. Behind his intoxicating blue eyes when he came out of the house. She wanted this case to be over. She was tired of everyone commenting on the way Debbie looked just like her. So she was thankful when she heard that Griss and Brass were in the interrogation room with a suspect. That's what drove her to the interrogation room that afternoon. She had hoped to catch him when he came out and see what she could do to help him close this case. Or to just help him. The truth was Sara had hoped to be able to talk him out of this apparent aversion to her prescience.

When she entered the viewing room she was thankful she was the only one present. " Great," Sara said to herself " this will give me time to think of how to approach him." The interveiw was nearly over. Brass was doing most of the talking. Griss looked like he was about to pass out. " I wonder if he has slept at all?" Just as the Lawyer and Dr. Vincent Lurie got up to leave Grissom suddenly spoke. "It's sad, isn't it, doc? Guys like us. Couple of middle-aged men who've allowed their work to consume their lives. The only time we ever touch other people is when we're wearing our latex gloves. We wake up one day and realize that for fifty years we haven't really lived at all. But then, all of a sudden ... we get a second chance." Sara felt a knot begin to form in the pit of her stomach. " Somebody young and beautiful shows up. Somebody ... .. we could care about. She offers us a new life with her ... ...but we have a big decision to make, right? Because we have to risk everything we've worked for in order to have her." Sara's jaw drops " Is he really saying what i think he is?" She wonders to herself. Grissom continues "I couldn't do it ... ... but you did. You risked it all ... .. and she showed you a wonderful life, didn't she? But then she took it away and gave it to somebody else, ... ... and you were lost. So you took her life. You killed them both, and now you have nothing." Sara felt as if she was going to cry. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. Did Gil really have feelings for her? Was he just holding back because of the lab? The others leave the room, Grissom is sitting alone. Sara stands there watching him. He looks like he had just run threw a gauntlet. His head is hanging low and she thinks she can see one single tear run down his face. Finally he gets up and slowly moves to the door. Sara hurries to catch him.
