Chapter Two
Disclaimer: I do not own CSI
Wendy walked into work that day looking terrible. She passed by Judy the receptionist and gave her a half smile as she walked by. Judy looked concerned but said nothing, as the phone had rung just then. Wendy went to the locker room to put away her bag and to shake off the news that she had just been told.
What am I going to tell David?
Sara came bustling in the locker room, she had finally heard from Gil, who had been teaching a class else ware. Sara was happy because Grissom was coming back to Vegas and teaching a 6 month lecture at UNLV. At least they'd see each other more frequently than they had been. Sara noticed Wendy's sad face and became concerned.
"Wendy? A-are you ok? What is the matter?"
Wendy looked at her colleague – her tears streaming down her face now.
"I have to leave CSI" she said in a croaky voice.
Sara sat down beside her and put a comforting arm around her.
"Why? What is the matter back home?"
"Family issues that I have no control over." She said and didn't elaborate.
Sara waited.
"Care to elaborate?"
Wendy looked at her. "Maybe later. I um have to clean my face of tear-streaked mascara before I head to the lab. Sara please don't tell David that I was crying. I don't want him to know that I have to leave CSI yet."
"What?" a new voice said.
The two women turned to see David Hodges standing in the door of the locker room.
