I remember Sara Sidle. She was hot as hell. Long legs, quirky smile, she had a fiery personality too. I won't lie I fully intended to ask her out but then when Grissom asked her to stay in Vegas I decided not to. It's not a good idea to date someone your work with. But that didn't stop her flirting with me.

As a CSI she was damn impressive; smart as hell. It was kind of intimidating if I'm honest. When I found out she was a CSI II I couldn't believe it. She was so young; she looked like she was barely out of college. But there was no denying she was good at her job and she loved it, maybe a little too much sometimes. Sometimes she'd let a case get personal and it would really affect her. She always maxed out on over time too.

The more we worked together the closer we got. In the end I felt like she was another one of my sisters, only one that I liked and actually got along with. Sara was not only a great CSI but also a great friend too. When she settled into the team she started to join me and Warrick for our breakfast and beers after shift ritual, it was great getting to know her better outside work. She was so much fun to just hang out with; she had a great sense of humour, always made me laugh.

After that DUI incident it was different though, she stopped coming out with us and become kind of withdrawn. I tried to talk to her about it but she just shut me out; she didn't like to talk about herself or her feelings or her past. I guess she just had a few issues, but I mean who doesn't?

Eventually though she returned to her old self and everything went back to normal. After my buried alive incident Sara was great. She talked me through my counselling and always checked to make sure I had gone, she was a great listener. I remember for like two months after they rescued me she would call me every day to make sure I was ok. Sara was thoughtful like that. When the team was put back together everyone noticed the change in her. I guess that PEAP counselling really worked for her; she was noticeably happier, she laughed more, hell she even went home on time. She was back to being the good old Sara that we all loved. It was great to have her back.

Yeah, I remember Sara Sidle.
