Chapter 4: Edward and Bella VS. Grissom and Sara
Bella's POV
After Alice said those words, a very irritated Brass returned. He told us to follow him. So we stood up quietly and followed him out. He led us to a large waiting area and told everyone but Edward and me to sit down and stay put. He then led us to another, slightly smaller, interrogation room. We walked in and sat at the table.
As we waited for the CSI's to come, Edward leaned over and softly said, "Alice told me this will go faster if we aggravate them into leaving." He also said something about how Alice saw we would be in here for about thirty minutes.
Edward straightened up as two people entered the room. The first to enter was a tall man with short dark hair that was peppered with grey. He had a sort of baby face, but it was mostly covered with a beard. His eyes were a very pretty light grey-blue color, but they looked somewhat sad and tired. He gave us an exhausted look as he sat down across from Edward.
"Hello, my name is Gil Grissom and this is Sara Sidle," he said pointing to himself then gesturing to the tall brunette sitting across from me.
She gave a slight smile and I noticed how her dark brown eyes had the same tired look as the man's. She had strong features that made her seem like a cold, closed person. When she looked at Grissom though, her features seemed to soften. I wondered what was going on between those two. I looked over at Edward and he had a strange look on his face.
"I know how to irritate them, play along," was all he said as he tapped his temple.
Edwards POV (italics= thoughts, ""=spoken words)
We sat quietly waiting for them to begin.
I've waited seven years for him, and now he is mine, Sara thought.
Very interesting, they seem to be in some sort of relationship. This could work to our advantage. I was surprised to hear that they were thinking about some of the same things.
Grissom seemed to be thinking about someone named Natalie Davis who sang a song that truly annoyed him. It was something about having a pain in her sawdust, and I didn't understand.
Sara was also thinking of Natalie, but her thoughts were much darker. She was annoyed because Natalie had trapped her under a car. She scowled at the thought, and switched to thinking of a girl named Hannah who was some sort of annoying know-it-all. She seemed to have tricked Sara into thinking she killed someone.
I knew I could use this against them so I leaned over to Bella and whispered, "I know how to irritate them, play along." She gave a slight nod and I straightened up.
"Is there any other reason you came all the way to Vegas, besides watching your brother ride a mechanical bull?" Grissom asked skeptically.
With a small wink towards Bella I said, "Yes of course there is, Alice, the girl with the short black hair, wanted to get a birthday gift for our daughter Hannah," as I said the name Hannah Sara cringed and turned somewhat defensive.
"So where is Hannah now?" Sara asked.
She's probably with some crack head babysitter, she thought.
"She is at home with my parents, probably playing with the miniature doll house I made her. I still need to sweep up the rest of that sawdust… UGH what a pain," I answered trying to bite back the laughter that was threatening to explode out of my mouth.
They had the most aggravated looks on their faces which made Bella cough out a poorly hidden chuckle.
Bella's POV
Edward mumbled, "They are in a relationship," and he made a disgusted face which unfortunately made me giggle.
A red faced Grissom then asked, "Do dead people amuse you Mrs. Cullen?"
Which of course made me think of Emmett, and I said at vampire speed, "Why yes Emmett does amuse me." Edward then choked out a laugh, but his was better hidden then mine.
"No Mr. Grissom, I was just thinking about how you and Ms. Sidle would make an adorable couple." That caused both their faces to flush, and then redden to a deep crimson in anger.
"Are there anymore questions?" Edward asked.
"No," Sara spat, "Just go join your siblings and send in Rosalie and Emmett," With that we stood up and walked back towards the waiting area, with smug smiles on our faces.
