chapter ten: Smelly decomps and lemony showers

Grissom and Sara walked into the lab together, both looking very happy with one another which didn't go unnoticed by Judy who was sorting paperwork at the front desk. They both walked to the locker room to gather their things that they would need for the nights shift.

"Right then Miss Sidle are we ready to put this amputee case to rest?"

Sara was pulling things out of her locker, she smiled and turned to face Grissom.

"Yeah I think so, its overdue but we have him now. Lets go put him away shall we." Sara said with such enthusiasm that made Grissom's heart melt, she reminded him of a small child sometimes and this was one of those moments.

Sara walked happily out of the locker room knowing Grissom would follow with out a word or hesitation, and he did.

Sara and Grissom walked into the interrogation room where they found Brass and the suspect Mike Langley sat at the desk. Brass was looking very pleased with himself while Langley not so chuffed at being there.

Grissom and Sara took a seat at the table, Brass got up and walked over and leaned against the wall.

"Wow I've heard you weren't a very easy person to find, you gave my colleague over there the ring around." Grissom said with a smile.

"Yeah what ever why am I here?"

"Well Mr Langley we found your finger prints at the scene of a crime. Would you care to explain that." Sara said while leaning back in her chair and folding her arms over her chest.

"Well I'm a carpet layer it could have gotten there like that, I fit a lot of carpets." Langley said cockily.

"We didn't find it on the carpet, we found it on the metal casing around a fan, which is attached to the ceiling. We didn't find any carpet up there." Sara said again and with a cockiness of her own.

"Funny lady. Well what does it matter if it was up there anyways?"

"Well because somebody was murdered it was staged to look like a suicide and they were being hung from the ceiling. Which is why you can guess that we are asking you these questions." Grissom said slowly so that the suspect understood.

"Look I don't know nothing about those three murders okay." Langley said coolly.

Grissom smiled then looked at Sara.

"Say Sara."

"Yeah." She responded.

"Did we mention that there were three murders?" Grissom asked.

"Nope."

"Mr Langley you have some explaining to do but save it for your lawyer, your under arrest." Brass said in his mono tone voice that he does.

"This isn't fair, you don't have any evidence."

"Oh we do, how do you think we got your name, we didn't pick it out of a hat you know. You have a record and then you committed a crime, bad idea." Sara said with a smile on her face.

Brass escorted Mike Langley out of the room and left Grissom and Sara in the interrogation room.

"That was fun." Sara said with a beaming smile.

"I could tell you enjoyed that one particularly, fancy a coffee?"

"Love one."

Grissom and Sara both left the interrogation room and headed towards the break room.

Catherine and Greg were in the break room gearing up to get ready for their scenes.

Grissom and Sara walked into the room, Sara walked over to the coffee pot while Grissom stood at the head of the table looking at Catherine and Greg.

"What?" Catherine said defensively.

"Why aren't you two at your scene's, do you not have any tonight?" Grissom asked while sounding professional.

"Oh no, Greg got a breaking and entering and I got a homicide at the Tangiers. I was just grabbing a coffee before I left and well Greg is trying to find someone to go with him, I think he gets lonely." Catherine said with a laugh.

"Hey." Greg yelled.

Sara poured herself and Grissom some coffee, she handed Grissom's to him and took a sip of her own. Another action that didn't pass easy eyes, Catherine was all over it.

"You know, if I get some help with my body then I could be back here early and sort this out quicker which means I can do that paperwork you've been hassling me for." Catherine said in a persuasive manner.

Grissom sighed.

"Alright Catherine I'll help you with the body, Sara would you help Greg seeing as he needs to be looked after apparently. I want your paperwork too Mr as you have help today."

"Yay come on Sara we haven't worked together for ages I'll meet you at the car, and yeah I know your driving."

Sara smiled and let out a small laugh.

"Right well get your stuff together and I'll meet you outside in five, see you later Sara." Catherine said as she grabbed her things and headed out of the door.

Sara waved and then looked at Grissom.

"Have a nice day." Sara said in a cheerful tone as she put her cup done and left the room.

Grissom just stood there for a moment, shrugged and then left the break room.

Tangiers Hotel

"Catherine!" Grissom yelled.

"Look I'm sorry but I'm covered in it too okay, deal with it!"

"I wouldn't have to deal with it if you'd mentioned that your DB was a decomp, he's all over the bloody floor, at least I think he's a he." Grissom said with an angry voice as he walked knee high in decomp in a very small room.

"Look they obviously thought that it wasn't that important to mention his decomposition state okay. Not my fault, I got the call so I took it."

"Well you should have gotten details about it, what have I always told you when you are handing out assignments make sure you know the details." Grissom stated.

"Yeah well I wouldn't have to hand them out if you weren't so damned interested in your case with Sara, or shall I say Sara and your case."

"Excuse me!"

"Well come on Grissom I'm not blind, there's something going on between you two, your both acting differently and I wanna know why."

"Catherine your delusional, now can we please just get on with this decomp, and why the hell is he in a broom closet anyways?"

Somewhere in Henderson

"You know Sara we get paid to work around here, not sit on our butts and watch other people do the hard graft." Greg pointed out as he lifted some finger prints.

"True, I'm merely observing how you work and any way its not my case I said I would accompany you, not do it for you." Sara said with a smile.

Greg gave a sarcastic smile and carried on working.

"You shouldn't need people to be with you on a B&E any way. If you really want to impress Grissom like you tried so hard to do while you were a lab tech, be more independent he'll take notice."

Greg nodded his head and smiled in a positive manner.

"At a boy." Sara said while she gave Greg the thumbs up gesture.

Back at the lab

Grissom walked down the lab corridor muttering under his breath, he was still wearing the same clothes from his scene and he was gathering attention…and then they were soon running away due to the stench.

Grissom had his eyes fixed to the floor as he walked, he thought the sooner he got to the shower the better and preferably without too much attention.

"Mmm Odour La Corpse." Sara said as she stood near Grissom and sniffed the air a little.

Grissom immediately looked up when he heard her voice. He looked horrified that she had seen him in this state.

Sara smiled and gave him a wink.

"You alright, people seem to be worried. Your muttering to your self and you seem to be dragging someone through the lab." Sara said with a full smile now.

Grissom looked confused at first then looked down at his shoes, he still had a bit of his John Doe stuck to it. Grissom could see the colour slowly draining from Sara's face, he blushed then quickly excused him self to rush to the shower.

Sara looked around and shrugged her shoulders.

"Something I said?"

Sara walked into the locker room a few minuets later, she can hear a shower running and can feel the steam around the room. She hears Grissom cursing Catherine and her incompetence on finding out details. Sara quietly laughs a little as she reaches into her locker and brings something out. Grissom is still muttering abuse at Catherine and John Doe when she walks up quietly and steps into the shower next to Grissom's.

Sara stops and listens for a while then takes her bag of lemons and puts them over the top of her shower so that Grissom could see them. She knows she has his attention when he stops muttering.

"Thought you might need them." Sara said in a happy tone.

Grissom smiles and takes a lemon, then smiles again when he can see that she had already sliced them for him. Grissom was also finding it hard to control his excitement at the thought that the only thing from Sara seeing Grissom completely naked was the wall between them.

"Thank you." Grissom said in a tone that she didn't hear very often. It was not a professional tone and not a friendly tone it was more than that, it was warm and inviting and something new. Sara smiled at how things were going between her and Grissom.

"That's okay, I'll see you later." Sara said in what she hoped was the same kind of tone back.

Grissom smiled as he heard Sara walk away and leave the room, he liked where things were going.
