I may be going crazy because I think Grissom and I actually had a somewhat intimate moment. After we found Laura Garris alive I started putting some evidence together to try and figure out what happened. I wanted to run a scenario by Grissom.
(Catherine and Grissom are walking down the hall as I am walking into the garage)
"Hey Grissom…could you come tape me up?"
I wonder how he'll react to that statement.
(I disappear into the garage but I hear him say to Catherine)
"I love my work."
"It shows."
Oh my god…Grissom just said something that could be interpreted as flirting…if I was actually present!
(Grissom comes in and tapes up my wrists)
Did he just lick his lips at me? Focus, Sara, focus on the case.
"So, you found Laura's hairs here ... passenger side, front seat?"
"Right, not in the back, which made me ask, what kind of a kidnapper puts a woman bound and unconscious in the front seat? The back of my arm isn't touching the sheepskin, see?"
"Yeah, so?"
He's going to love this!
"But, there is sheepskin fiber on the back of Laura's sleeve. That tells us Laura sat back like a normal person would. Cut me, Mack"
(Grissom cuts the tape off my wrists)
"Like this."
(I push my arms back against the seat to illustrate my point)
"So she wasn't bound at all?"
Now he's starting to get it. Here's my favourite part!
"Correct. But, would a kidnapper risk putting an unconscious woman in the front seat of his car, even unbound? Answer is usually in the question -- you taught me that. So, was she unconscious? We found halothane on the patio. Halothane knocks you out ... if you take it."
Yes! I've so solved the case and impressed Grissom all at once and all by myself!
"So, you're saying she never inhaled the halothane?"
"Proof would be in her blood. Halothane stays in the system up to 48 hours."
"How pleased am I that I got a sample of her blood?"
No way! He already knew this! Crap! I've embarrassed myself by looking all arrogant and cocky.
"So you can go check at the lab, see how it turned out."
Ugh! I can't believe I did this.
(I stand up so I am inches from his body)
"Damn it, I wanted to carry the ball over the line."
(He smiles and I smile back)
"I know."
