Ch 21

Sara and Gil soon after put their experiment into play with Brass. They jumped out of bed and got ready to go to town, with Bruno with them.

The first stop on their list was the jewelry shop.

Sara was looking intently at a gold nugget ring with three diamonds vertically down the top. With a price tag of 7187.00. She wanted something special. Not the traditional man's wedding band. She wanted to show him just how much he really meant to her. That he was so much more the traditional.

On the other side of the shop, Gil was looking at one ring in particular. It was a white gold Braided with six sapphires in set into it. A nice 3 carat marquis diamonds. The price tag on the pretty little thing was 25,435.00. Just a small price for him to pay to show how much he loved her.

Once they had their rings, they set out to find something to wear. While Gil found a men's store for all his needs. Sara was looking for a dress. Something simple, yet sexy. She found a strapless satin knee length dress. White trimmed with silk lace across the bust. She loved it. It fit just right. The sales clerk boxed it up and set out to help to find shoes.

Gil on the other hand, found a suit with white shirt, black light cotton jacket. He opted for Black Dockers, with shoes to match.

Once he had finished his shopping, he found a tourist shop next to the men's shop. He went in side and looked for brochure for a place to have a wedding. He found the perfect place.

He went back to the truck to find Sara was just walking back herself.

Gil: Did you get something you like.

Sara: Yes I did. And I think you like it also.

Gil: If you're wearing it, I'll love.

Sara: Gil stop you're making me blush.

Gil: It 12:30 now. Is there anything else we may need?

Sara: Just a place for the service, and flowers.

Gil: Well I found this when I was walking back to the truck.

He handed her the brochure. Her eyes lit up.

Sara: It's perfect.

Gil: I thought you might like it. Let go get things set up.

Sara: Oh Gil I love you. Thank you.

Gil: You're welcome. I love you too.

Earlier that morning Brass was franticly making phone calls to set this experiment up. He even had to call in a few favors to get the ball rolling. A few to the sheriff, and a few with other sheriff's departments. This had to work just right or it could cost a few certain people their jobs. So with some of his favor cashed in, and a few of Griss also, he tossed the ball into play.

Cath: Willows.

Brass: It's Jim. I'm sorry about this, but I need a favor. I just received a call from a friend from Lake Tahoe sheriffs department.

Cath: What's going on?

Brass: Well it seems they have a murdered family at Tahoe. A very important person to their community. There asking for some forensic help from our lab to help aid in the effort. There looking for four Csi to come help until they find out what happen. He also asked that we could take over in the investigation dew to conflict of interest. Their keeping it hush hush from the media, so we find can out what happen first.

Cath: But all we have on our shift is Warrick, Nick, Greg and myself. Can't we give them a few from days and swing?

Brass: NO. I was asking for the best. It needs to be the night crew. I already talked to the sheriff and cleared it with him. He was going to clear it with Ecklie. Days and swing is going to cover the shifts for two days and if need be 3 days.

Cath: Ok I guess I'll call the guys to tell them to pack for three days. Your coming too aren't you?

Brass: Yes I'll meet you at the lab. We should take two trucks.

Cath: Well I guess that means our date is out.

Brass: Yea I'm sorry; I'll make it up to you.

Cath: I will hold you to that. Should we call Gil and Sara and let them know?

Brass: NO I'll call Gil. Let me take care of him. You just take care of your guys, and I'll meet you at the lab.

Brass disconnected, sat back in his chair and smiled." If this works, this could be a well deserved break"

Brass arrived 30 mins later at the lab. Cath pulling in behind him. Followed by Warrick then Nick. Last to the party was one bouncing boy Greg.

Greg: Sweet road trip.

Warrick: Down Greggo. Gees man control yourself.

Nick: Yea Gregg. If you're not careful, we will tie you to the roof of the truck.

Greg: But it's exciting. We get to go to Lake Tahoe. Where the Babes are Hot.

Cath: Greg this is work. No fraternizing with woman.

Greg: Oh man, but I can still look. Take all the fun out of it.

Cath: Ok Ok settle down. We need to get geared up. We are going to take two trucks.

Brass: Well I will drive one truck. Cath care to join me.

Cath: I think I will.

Warrick: I drive the other one.

Nick: I call shot gun.

Greg: Oh that's just great. I get to ride bitch again.

Nick: Stop whining. Well let you hang your head out the window and drool down the side of the truck.

Greg: Shut up. Hey Brass can I ride with you?

Brass and Cath: NO!

Greg: Fine. It probably is boring ridding with you two anyway. Hold up guy I'm going with you.

Warrick: Only if you don't bark to loud.

Nick: Nice Rick. (Slapping five)

Greg: Ha Ha Very funny.

They packed their gear in both truck and all piled in and rolled out, only stopping for gas, and Greg had to have food for the ride. Coffee and junk food. You name it, it had sugar. Well needless to say not a 1/2 an hour in to the ride, Warrick and Nick are ready to duck tape Greg to the roof to shut him up.

Greg: Ok Ok so this one time I was at this party, and this girl, she was like way drunk. But she was hot. So I walked up to her to see if she wanted to dance. She said yes, so I pulled her to the dance floor. We danced for like a whole 30 seconds and she turned and puked on this jerk who was being all tuff and Shit, and then--

Nick turned around in his chair, grabbed Greg by him collar of his shirt.

Nick: GREG if to don't shut your trap, I'm going to grab my roll of duck tape and tape you to the roof of this truck.

Greg: You can't do that. It is illegal for someone to ride on the outside of a moving vehicle. I should know. This one time, my buddy and I tried to ride a surf board on top of his mom's car--

Nick: You are so pushing your luck. I will tape your whole body up and you won't ever move.

This time being more forceful with his fist thumping him into his chest.

Greg: owwww Ok Ok point taken. I'll shut up now.

Mean while Brass and Cath are enjoying their ride. Making small talk of things about work and some of their friends and life in general, some of cases they worked on together and some they did not.

Brass was trying to avoid some conversation about the case at Tahoe. He really didn't like lying to her, but he promised Gil and Sara that he wouldn't tell about why they were really going to Lake Tahoe. He was nerves about the whole thing. He really cared for her and hopes this wouldn't rune, any chances for him. He hoped she would understand that it was really in his best intention just to keep his best friends trust and Sara love. With a little hope maybe let her relax some with him and really get to know each other.

Review please.
