The young Deputy, upon dropping both Gil and Sara at the hospital, had returned to the area where the motel used to stand. The debris field was rather extensive and he figured he would have to use a marker system to gauge where he had been and where he would look next so he started in the point where Alan had said they'd been hiding in the area of the stairwell but had no luck, he figured that Sara must have been in the room across the hall and quickly confirmed it with Alan.

"What are you doing back there Jeff?" Brooks's voice boomed over the radio.

"Mrs. Grissom lost her purse, it had all her stuff in it, and she was really upset so I'm guessing it had some sentimental value as well so I figured I wouldn't say anything but I'd give it a shot at finding it." He walked another 50 feet and noticed a black leather strap hanging off a branch on a tree. "I think I might have just gotten incredibly lucky." He looked around trying to figure out how to reach it as the purse. His best course of action at the moment would have to be pulling his SUV as close as he could and climbing up on the roof then trying to reach it from there. It took a good 20 minutes but he was finally able to get the branch it was hooked on to bend and the purse dropped into his waiting hand.

"Yup, gotcha you little sucker…" he held it tightly as he reversed his climb onto the vehicle. Just as he crawled back into the Yukon, the crackle of the radio let him know Jamie Lynn was calling him.

"Hey Jeff, Grissom called, they're ready to head out to Leland's place but Alan wants to see if you can talk them into coming back to town for dinner, they probably haven't had a bite to eat…" she had a thing for Jeff and he for her but they were both to shy to admit it to themselves or each other.

"I'll ask them, should take me about 20 to get to the hospital, could you let them know?" He heard her chuckle through the radio.

"Will do, bring me one of Gloria's doughnuts if you get a chance." She wondered if he would but didn't hold out much hope, Jeff McManus wasn't always the brightest bulb when it came to the romance department but as long as Jamie Lynn had been working with the local police department, he'd held her heart and she was only too eager to give it to him if the opportunity arose.

They were standing outside the hospital, Sara leaning into Gil's side and while they weren't really talking, their body language said it all; this was a couple that was deeply in love. Jeff wished with all his heart that he had the guts to tell Jamie Lynn how he felt about her and if he had the courage, would ask Grissom when he realized that he felt the same about Sara…but that would mean getting him off by himself and he wondered if the chance would come up for that. He sure hoped because he was pretty sure Jamie was who he wanted to spend his life with.

Gil opened the door for Sara but she shook her head and insisted on sitting once again in the back seat, "I told you before it's easier on your knees to sit in the front. The Deputy waited till they were both in the car then turned to Sara, "Does this look familiar?" he held up her purse and if Sara could have reached him, she just might have kissed him when she noticed her purse hanging from his hand. "It took a bit of digging..then I found it hanging in a tree, I guess that will teach me to look up first" he chuckled. Gil suddenly noticed the soiled uniform that had been neatly pressed earlier. "But it was worth it…I think everything is in there, I didn't look, Jamie Lynne told me don't never look in a woman's purse so I wasn't about to but it's still zipped so I don't imagine anything flew out and it's heavy so I'm guessing your wallet stayed put…" Sara laughed as she dug through everything. Thankfully because it was good quality leather with a nice liner as was her wallet, the pictures inside had been protected and remained intact. She sat back taking in their day.

She'd survived a tornado because Gil had sent someone to find her, she had her purse, she had her husband back thought she knew that when the returned to where he was staying they definitely needed to talk. She was content in her decision to return to her job but she would only do so if he agreed to return to his as well. They were a team and it was because of him that she'd originally come to Vegas and it was because of him she stayed…now she wanted to make sure, they were going to be okay…the rest they'd work out together. Life for the moment was good and she intended to make this moment last…..
