Chapter 7: Keeping Appearances
When Sara and Greg arrived at his place, she just dropped on the couch and closed her eyes with her head pointing to the ceiling, she was so exhausted.
Greg made his way next to her, and grabbing her softly he placed her back on top of his torso. Her head was just next to his and he watched her in silence, as she kept her eyes closed.
"Sara?" Greg said softly. As she heard called her name, she moved and faced him, Greg wrapped his arms around her.
"Yes?" She asked, her expression was sleepy, but she was smiling slightly at him.
"Do you like flowers?" His question made her frown, he was cute, nice and all, but what kind of person ask a question like that when his girlfriend is so tired that she can't keep her eyes open?
"Yes, I do, actually I love them...why?" she answered although she was intrigued for his sudden curiosity.
"It's nothing...I was just curious" he said looking deep into her eyes.
"Ohh...Ok". She was a little disappointed, expecting him to say something a little more interesting.
"Let's go to bed...if I spend another minute here, I'll pass out of tiredness" he said lifting her body slowly to put her in a sitting position.
"That's the best thing I've heard from you in the whole day" she said smiling at him, as he laughed slightly at her comment.
They made their way to the bedroom, his arms wrapped around her body and his head resting on her shoulder. It was just the ending of another day at work.

The next morning Sara and Greg woke up as usual, and made their way to the lab. Once they reached it, they took separate ways; she had to check a few things in the lab about her last case, while he needed to talk to Grissom, that, she didn't know.
But once Sara got into the break room for assignments, she didn't see him there.
"Has anyone seen Greg?" she asked the team, making them to look at her.
"You lovebirds can't just be away from each other for half an hour?" Nick said with sarcasm, making Catherine and Warrick laughed softly. Sara just smiled at his comment.
"And no Sara, we haven't seen him, right guys?" the blonde said, an evil smile appearing on her lips, as she looked over the others.
"No, we haven't" the Texan and Warrick said at unison.
Sara wasn't sure, but something was going on...something she didn't know. All of her co-workers seemed to be very confident, like they had a plan or something, it was paranoid for her to think that, but knowing them for 6 years now wasn't in vane.
"Are you sure?" she pressed again, feeling that they knew something she didn't.
"Why don't you ask Grissom if you're so worried? he's the supervisor after all" Nick suggested, receiving at the same time a killing look from Cath, which Sara didn't realize of. He had forgotten that Grissom didn't know anything about the plan.
"If you want, of course". Warrick tried to dissuade her, knowing his friend had almost screwed up.
"Actually, I'm going to ask him right now" she said turning around to make her way to Grissom's office, at the same time he himself came into the room, assignments in hand.
Cath's eyes grew wide, knowing their plan was in danger, "Grissom!" She spoke in a higher tone than she would liked to, but the nerves were eating her alive.
Everyone stared at her, including Grissom. "Anything I can do for you Cath?" he said in his typical relaxed tone.
"Yes, indeed. When you finish giving us assignments, I'd like to have a few words with you in your office" the blonde said, ignoring the questioning looks from her co-workers.
Sara just stayed in the hall, watching how his answer was walking next to Catherine, although she didn't know that Grissom was less informed than she was.
Cath and Grissom made their way to his office, and as they arrived both of them took a seat.
"What is that so important thing you wanted to talk about?" Grissom asked as he took of his glasses and held them in his hand.
"Well, it's not exactly something I want to talk about" Cath said as she thought Grissom would use too much time for the talk, which she didn't have. "I just want to inform you about something we want to do"
"No" Grissom snapped.
"B-But! I didn't even say a word about the plan" She shut her eyes tightly as soon as she realized what she had said, 'plan', Oh crap! That wasn't supposed to come out! She thought.
"I knew it. I've warned you about keeping secret plans like parties, surprises and all that stuff" Grissom didn't have an exact idea about what the team wanted to do, but he wasn't interested in founding it out.
"Sometimes you ruined everything with just a few words, you know that?" Cath said with an angry tone of voice.
"I just don't want you to have problems, I know the consequences that 'your plans' can have" He was so calm that Cath sometimes wanted to shout at him and woke him up.
She didn't say anything, she just got up and went out of the office as an evil smile played on her lips; and he thought I was gonna listen to him, yeah, right.
While Nick and Warrick had coffee in the break room, Catherine entered quickly.
"Ready" She said.
"He agreed?" Nick asked surprised.
She laughed loud "Of course not". This made Warrick to roll his eyes, she didn't care a damn and she was so proud of showing it off.
"What's the next step then?" Warrick asked as Cath seat next to him.
"I'll tell you in a sec, where's Sara?" She asked as she looked around.
"She went to a scene I think" Nick answered.
"Good, we just have to make sure she won't be home for a little longer" Cath said as she got up, she was so excited that she couldn't even stay still.
"Yeah, it's going to be a hard work" Nick complained.
"Oh, you'll see, it would, but it'll worth it" She said as she smiled slightly at him.
