"Sorry about that." Sara apologised to Catherine when she slipped back into the layout room.
"Did you sort out his wheelchair problem?"
"I had to tell him how to get a wheelchair to land in the position they found it in earlier, he had a couple of questions."
"By the way Greg dropped by, he wanted to tell me you were engaged to Hodges."
"Greg told you I was engaged to Hodges?"
"To each there own, and in Vegas that phrase has very very broad meaning." Catherine said.
"Because Hodges is some whose bones I want to jump." Sara said sarcastically. Catherine couldn't help but laugh. "You seriously don't think I would be within fifty feet of the guy unless they paid me to be do you? Let alone get engaged to him."
"No, but then again I didn't think you and Nick would wake up enough to figure things out and get engaged either, but I was wrong about that too."
"How long have you known?" Sara asked.
"Since Grissom told Warrick, Greg and I."
"Grissom knew?"
"Apparently he knew you were dating for the last few months, but since it wasn't affecting your work he didn't say anything."
"Wow."
"So why didn't you tell anyone?" Catherine inquired.
"It just worked out easier that way."
"Is he any good in bed?" Catherine asked.
"Catherine! I'm not going answer that."
"I'm single I have to live vicariously."
"I'm sure there are a lot easier ways to do that in Vegas." Sara told her. "Why if Greg knows the truth is he going around telling people that I'm engaged to Hodges."
"To annoy Nick." Catherine replied. "Since he didn't say anything while he and Warrick were trying to figure it out."
"I guess I can understand that."
"Are you going to tell Nick that they know?"
"No." Sara replied.
"Why not?"
"Because it will annoy him, and when he's annoyed he cooks. I can say this for Texan's they make a great breakfast."
"Do you think that is wise?"
"He'll get over it and figure out why they are doing and kill Greg so I don't have to."
"Logical." Catherine said.
"We'll just clean up all the blood."
"Blood." Catherine said.
"What about blood?"
"Greg said something about the murderer being covered in blood. We need to go back and check for blood."
"I'll call him." Sara said pulling out her cell phone.

"So what are we doing here?" Greg asked.
Having called ahead the elevator and the whole hallway and staircase had been isolated.
"Here." Sara handed him a bottle.
"Luminol?" Greg questioned.
"You said it yourself. If you slice someone open you'd get covered in blood. Maybe since we can't find any evidence here we can …"
"Blood bread trail?" Greg finished for her.
"Sara start at the door and work that way, Greg work that way and check the elevator. I'll check the stair well." Catherine instructed.
"We're going to need to dime the lights." Greg said.
Catherine nodded to the officer, who relayed a message over the radio. The lights switched to emergency lighting.
"Anything else?"
"Can't think of anything."
"Let me know if you find anything." Catherine before walking off in the direction of the stairwell.
"Oh Greg." Sara said when she was gone as she pulled her orange goggles and UV light out of her kit.
"Yes Sara."
"You know Nick is going to kill you slowly right?"
"For what?" Greg asked.
"For telling everyone that I'm engaged to Hodges."
"You mean you're not?" Greg asked with fake innocence. "I knew that Sherlock Holmes logic was faulty."
"We both know you know the truth. Just remember he knows how to hide a body."
