Chapter 2

Sara knew that Catherine had been in love with Warrick Brown for as long as she can remember. She had told Sara once that from the first time she seen those soft green eyes Warrick occupied her every thought, he was all she dreamed about and he was all she fantasized about.

Catherine confessed to Sara that only Warrick could make her life complete. When Warrick married shortly after Nicks abduction Catherine fell into a state of depression.

No one seemed to notice it except Sara, that was why Sara was determined that something had to be down to get them together. Since his divorce Warrick has been just as depressed, this made Sara more determined to do something about it, she just was not sure what.

Warrick and Catherine were on her mind when Gil came into the kitchen. Sara was standing at the stove and Gil walked up behind her and put his arms around her.

Gil must have startled Sara because before she realized what she had done her elbow came back right into his stomach.

"Oh darling, I am sooo sorry," she said kissing him. "Remind me never to do that again," Gil said smiling as he rubbed his stomach.

"I was thinking about Catherine and Warrick," Sara told him putting the food on the table, "We have to get them together."

"WE have to mind our own business," Gil told Sara once again but once again knowing she was not paying attention to him. Sara just nodded. Gil knew Sara well enough to know that her mind was set and nothing he said or did would change it.

Nothing more was said about it. As they were on their way to the lab Sara put the first part of her plan into action.

Sara said, "Hon I have a great idea. Why don't we ask Nick and Warrick and Catherine up to the cabin this weekend. I think it will be fun."

Gil was sure Sara was up to something but he had to admit that it would be good to get away from the city for a weekend. "I'll ask them tonight," Gil said.

Sara smiled, she did have something planned, she just could not tell Gil because he would not approve. "Anyway, he can't object to something he doesn't know about," Sara thought. Then she giggled. "Men are so clueless," Sara said to herself.

As Gil was about to pass out the assignments he told them of Sara's plans. "Have to take a rain check," Nick said, "Sophia and I am flying home this weekend to meet my folks."

Sara said how sorry she was, but inside she was smiling. Sara knew they were going away, Sophia had already told her.

"Lindsey is staying at Beth Ann's this weekend," Catherine said, "I would love to go." "I have nothing planned," Warrick said, "Sounds good to me. Maybe I can get in some fishing."

The first part of Sara's plan was falling into place, now if the rest of it went as smoothly.

"What are you up to," Gil asked on their way to their scene. "Not a thing," Sara said, "How dare you even think such a thing." She pretended to be hurt.

"Because, my dear, I know you all to well," Gil said slipping his hand on top of hers. Sara pulled hers away and playfully slapped him, "Be have yourself, we are on Ecklie's time."

"Ecklie can kiss my foot," Gil said, smiling at her, "Any way, who is going to tell? Certainly not me."

They did tease and play a little when they were alone but once they were at a scene it was all business, Gil was the supervisor and Sara knew it. She took her orders like all the rest. Nick had once remarked at just how professional they were, "You can hardly tell you two are anything but supervisor and subordinate."

That was the only thing that the sheriff had insisted on when Sara came back to graves, that when on the clock, they conduct themselves in a professional manor at all times. Gil insisted on it also.

The more Gil thought about getting away for the weekend the more he liked the idea even though he was positive Sara was up to something.

Friday morning came and Warrick and Catherine meant over to Gil and Sara's place. They had all decided to ride together.

As they were packing the jeep Gil said, "Hey Rick, how handy are you with a hammer and nails?"

"Fair. Why?" Warrick asked. "I just found out that there was some storm damage to the cabin, I figured we could handle it together," Gil said.

"What kind of damage?" Warrick asked. "Not sure," was Gil's answer.

Sara was busting inside, she knew just what was damaged and it fit perfectly into her plan.

When they arrived at the cabin they could see the damage, there had been a wind storm and some tiles were blown off the roof and a branch had broken one of the windows.

Gil drew in a deep breath then let it out, "Well it is to late to get the things we need tonight, let's just grab something to eat and some sleep and we can start in the morning."

Everyone grabbed their stuff from Gil's jeep and headed inside.

Sara said - with a smile buried deep inside herself, "Hon, the window is broken in one of the bedrooms. That means we only have two that we can use."

You see, Sara is smiling because she knew all along what and where the damage was, a neighbor of their's had called and told her.

This was Sara's plan, to get Warrick and Catherine in the same room and let nature take its course.
