Like stealing candy from a Baby.

Grissom, Sara and Lindsey arrived at Las Vegas zoo an hour or so after they went for breakfast in a local diner. The piled out of the car and made their way to the entrance. Grissom and Sara were walking ahead, stealing glances and 'accidental' touches, while Lindsey trailed behind and pretended not to see anything.

"Good afternoon Sir and how can I help you." An overly enthusiastic middle aged woman said.

"Uh good afternoon can I have two adult tickets and one child ticket please." Grissom said as he smiled and flipped through his wallet for some money.

"Of course, just give them a minuet to print out. Can I just stamp your hands for later on if you want to leave and come back?"

Grissom and Sara nodded and put their hand on the window sill in front of them, after they were stamped it was Lindsey's turn. Lindsey approached the window and looked at the woman gone off. She frowned and placed her hand on the sill while she got stamped, after she walked off muttering about how it better come off.

"Who does she remind you of?" Sara said quietly next to Grissom's ear.

Grissom smiled. "Like mother like daughter I guess."

"Here you go , here are you tickets and a free coupon for the gift shop. Have a nice day."

Grissom and Sara smiled as they took their things and headed for the entance.

"Come on Lindsey." Sara called gently.

Lindsey walked past the woman at the window sill and gave her a death glare as she passed and entered the park.

They all stopped at the top of the hill and could see around them for miles, well probably not miles but you get the picture.

"Okay, so what should we see first". Grissom asked with a huge grin on his face.

"Spiral." Lindsey said.

"Huh, spiral?" Sara asked with a confused look on her face.

"Oh, I get it. Catherine when dealing with a crime scene always tends to spiral her way around it. She's done it for years, not really sure why though." Grissom said as his thoughts began to trail off to try and find an explanation for his question.

"It's the way she does everything, she cleans that way, arranges things that way, even our kitchen is set up in a kind of spiral shape. I dunno it kind of sticks with you, so lets spiral."

Sara shrugged her shoulders. "Okay, spiral it is, lets get going."

Somewhere in Arizona

"Hi, my name is Catherine Willows I'm here to bail my mother from custody." Catherine said in a professional tone like the one she uses at a crime scene, all the while barely holding back her aggrivation at the situation.

"Okay Miss Willows, sign these forms please and well just go and get her. We wont be pressing charges this time but if she does it again we will be forced to take action." The officer said as he handed the forms over.

"What exactly did she do wrong?"

" Her and Her friend were trying to pick up a uh, well a male escort. I noticed that she was from Vegas which is why we are not pressing charges, but it is illegal here so next time we wont be so understanding."

Catherine blushed, while clenching her fists and grinding her teeth.

"Okay thank you officer." Catherine muttered out through the gap she allowed while wearing her teeth down dramatically.

Vegas.

"What's so great about the monkeys anyway, they are just hairy and smelly version of us." Lindsey said while trying to convince Grissom and Sara that they were not worth seeing.

Sara laughed and looked at Lindsey.

"There you go then, they impersonate people from Vegas very well." Sara said.

Lindsey laughed while Grissom scowled.

"You better not be talking about me." Grissom said in a stern voice.

"Of course not, smelly no but the hair on your face might beg to differ." Sara said with a bashful grin.

Grissom smiled and carried on walking towards the monkey enclosure.

"Any way we have opposable thumbs monkeys don't.2 Grissom said as he approached the glass to look at the monkeys closer.

"Does he always have an answer for everything?" Lindsey asked quietly.

Sara smiled. "Most of the time."

Sara and Lindsey made their way to the glass to join Grissom. Sara stood close to Grissom while he was looking at a monkey in particular, Lindsey was day dreaming in a world of her own waiting for it to be over so she can go and grow up.

Sara scanned around and noticed that Lindsey was in a world of her own, Sara formed a mischievous grin on her face as she lowered her arm behind her and pinched Grissom's butt. Grissom jumped nearly three feet in the air and when he settled back on the ground looked at Sara with a shocked face.

All Sara did was shrugg as she leaned into him a little for some contact. Grissom smiled and graciously accepted her.

Lindsey sighed with annoyance as she watched the sight in front of her.

Arizona.

Catherine's mother was brought from custody as well as he friend.

"Oh Cathernie you came for us, how glad we are to see you." Her mother said in a dramatic tone.

Catherine stood with her arms folded across her chest and he hip cocked to the side.

"What's with the attitude, aren't you happy to see your mother alive?"

"Huh, yeah like. Do you know what trouble I have been through to get you out of here. And what the hell were you doing picking up a male escort here, never mind here, why at all!?!"

"Cath we were young once, we just wanted to feel youth full again that's all."

"You know what I don't care, come one we have to go. I left Lindsey with a co-worker and to be honest she looked petrified."

Lindsey was twiddling her thumbs when she noticed that Grissom and Sara were ready to make a move from the monkey enclosure.

"You ready Lindsey?" Sara asked.

"Yeah sure, hay wait. What is that monkey doing?" Lindsey said as she walked to the glass and took a closer look.

Grissom and Sara turned to where Lindsey was looking and both of their jaws fell open. They looked at each other and walked to the glass quickly.

Lindsey was looking at the monkey confused while Grissom and Sara battled with what they should tell her.

The monkey was sat in his tyre swing and looking very pleased with him self. He was eating a bannana and in his other hand he was clutching his bannana and playing with it freely. Lindsey carried on to look confused until Sara put her hands over Lindsey's eyes and walked her away from the glass quickly.

They left the monkey enclosure and both adults had red faces while the child had an utter confusment washed over hers.

"You know what we should go see the girraffs." Grissom suggested nervously.

Lindsey walked ahead of Grissom and Sara but kept an eye on them. Grissom and Sara were stood closely again and evey now and then had a few more 'accidental' touches, but all completely innocent after all they were in a zoo for children.

Lindsey just shook her head and carried on walking.

They stood around and watched the girraffs a little then moved onto the elephants when Lindsey decided to have some fun. Lindsey turned to Grissom and Sara with an evil grin on her face which made the adults very uneasy all of a sudden.

"Yes Lindsey, any thing you need?" Grissom asked.

"Oh, no I'm okay you two are far more interesting to watch than these dumb animals. So how long have you been together?"

Oh my god are we that obvious? They both thought simultaneously.

"What are you talking about Lindsey?" Sara asked hoping that she caught the wrong end of the stick but knowing deep down she hadn't and that she was in denial.

"Please, I may be a child but I'm not stupid. I'm nearly a teenager I know a few things about life and well you two are so dating. Its plain to see."

"Hmm Lindsey I think you got the wrong idea." Grissom tired saying convincingly but failing knowing that she was Catherine Willows daughter, they didn't stand a chance.

"Look, you tow are plain as day. Your all looking at each other like more than co-workers and well all those accidently on perpose touches you guys are doing. Just spill it, or I'll just tell my mom." Lindsey threatened.

Both their eyes widened knowing that Catherine knowing would be a bad idea this early on in the relationship.

"Hey Lindsey pick a pocket." Grissom said with a smile on his face.

He has plan.

"What?" Lindsey said with a confused face.

"Pick a pocket and what ever is in it you can have, provided that you keep our little secret about what you know."

Lindsey smiled and shrugged.

"Okay, this sounds fun. Um that one."

Lindsey pointed to the left pocket and waited to see what was in it.

Grissom stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out four ten dollar bills and a few niccols.

"Whoo Lindsey hit the jackpot." Lindsey said as she jumped in the air.

Grissom simply gritted his teeth and handed the money over.

Sara smirked at Grissom's loss while trying not to laugh.

"Right we have a deal yeah?" Grissom asked as he looked down at Lindesy counting her winnings.

"Sure, I don't tell mom about you two guys flirting, touching , acting all lovy dovy and being out on a date." Lindsey said a little mono tone and casual as she put her money in one hand.

"You know, we aren't actually on a date, so I should take that back."

Before Lindsey had a chance to react Grissom snatched the money out of Lindsey's hand and held it above her head.

Lindsey stood with her hands folded over her chest and a ' I dare you' look on her face.

Grisosm had seen that look somewhere else and he gave in and gave the money back to the scary twelve year old that conned him out of fourty dollars.

Grissom sighed and held his head down, maybe for shame from stealing from a twelve year old or maybe from the embaressment that he just got conned by a twelve year old, and he was supposed to be the genius.

Sara looked at Grissom and smiled.

"How about we go and see the insect house." Sara suggested.

"I'm not some small child that you can just melt away my losses by distracting me with my passions Sara." Grissom said with a disappointed tone.

"Well what if I said that they were holding an exabition about a rara butterfly found in the south of Africa and it starts in ten minuets?"

Grissom's eyes immediately shot open fully and a smile spread across his face. Lindsey just fluttered her eyes and began walking towards the butterfly house. Grissom smiled boyishly while Sara mearly smiled back at how cute he looked.

"You know just the right things to say." Grissom said qith a childish tone as he kissed her firmly on the lips and took her hand to drag her to the butterfly house.

Hey thanks so much for reading, um just to point out I know nothing about Arizona, how long it takes to get there, the laws or what ever. And I know nothing about rare butterflies that come from south Africa. I suppose I could have googled it…but meh I didn't so never mind, its fiction anyway what does it matter. Thanks for reading and please review, it will mean the world. Thanks, xox.
