Sara awoke to the aroma of home cooking. Getting out of bed, she went to see what was cooking. When she got to her kitchen, she saw Catherine busy at the stove. She seemed to be attempting to flip a very stubborn pancake. Stifling a laugh, Sara ran back to her bedroom, grabbed some clothes, and jumped in the shower. The hot water felt really good on her very sore and bruised body. When she was done, she was met at the bathroom door by a very happy looking Catherine.
"Ok, I have a surprise for you" Catherine said while pulling her towards the kitchen. Halfway there, she made Sara close her eyes and she guided the younger women the rest of the way. She then uncovered her eyes and anxiously waited for a response from Sara. What Sara saw shocked her. There were two places set candles with wine glasses filled with orange juice and as the main course, happy faced pancakes. Turning to Catherine, she thanked her and the two women began to eat. They talked about Lindsey and work, and basically everything but Hank and last nights events. They were interrupted when both of their cells went off, calling them in. Since the page had said 911 they decided to just go in one car.
The ride to lab was short and quiet. But when Sara walked in her worried "Big brothers" swarmed her. Greg was the first to speak. "Hey Sara, you ok? Is there anything I can do?"
" Well guys I'm ok considering Hank was arrested and I have a broken heart once again. But I'll recover." Before she could finish she was scooped up in a group hug. But they were interrupted when Grissom walked in.
" You were called in early because we have a case multiple homicide, plus a suicide in lake mead. I want Nick, Cat, and Warrick to come with me. Sara and Greg take the suicide and if it's not a suicide, investigate and if it is, wrap it up and meet us at the scene." The csi's broke off to go process their scenes, and when Catherine and Grissom were alone, she ripped him a good one.
" Of all the dumbest things you've done this has got to be the worst! She was attacked last night and you call her … fine it was an emergency. I can see that but you sent her to a scene alone with Greg, who is new to the field. What were you thinking?"
" I sent her there, Catherine, because it should be an easy one and Greg needs the experience. Calm down. She will be fine, you'll see."
Greg and Sara arrived at the Teens and met Brass. He showed them where the body was. From a first glance, it seemed to be an obvious suicide. Sara told Greg to talk to the parents with Brass while she took the photos. Greg approached the parents Mr. and Mrs. Smith. " I'm am so sorry for your loss, I understand this is a Rough time …" But before he could continue, a loud bang rang through the house. Greg and Brass bolted up the stairs and saw Sara on the floor, blood rushing from her body.
Brass yelled in to his walkie " Officer down … I repeat officer down. We need Emergency medical service at 43, Niño lane ASAP…" while Greg ran to Sara and tried to stop the bleeding. In all the confusion no one saw the blond man walking calmly away from the scene, smirking.
