Nick and Phil stayed with Dr. Grant for another hour. Nick let Phil do much of the talking and Phil tried his best to get more information out of Dr. Grant regarding Janice's death. But Dr. Grant stayed with his story. He had taken some oxycodone before bed, had laid down and fell asleep while Janice was having her once daily cigarette on the balcony.
As they left the suites, Phil said, "Nick, I think he knows more than he's letting on, but I don't think you are going to crack that nut without truth serum."
"Do you think he participated?" Nick asked.
"No, but I don't believe he slept through it either, but that's just me and skeptic Texan self." Phil replied.
"Man, I agree with you," Nick replied, "I guess we will just have to let it go for now. But I will make note of this in our files in case we need to refer back to it later."
They parted at the elevator and Nick headed back to his cabin. No Greg. Good, he was tired anyhow and hoping that Greg was getting more action than he was. And making better choices too! Good for Greggo.

Grissom had gone to the shower, alone this time, and had come back out wrapped in a small white ship's towel.
"You are entirely too sexy, Gilbert, you do realize that don't you?" Sara said.
"Argh, don't do that!" he laughed.
"What?" she asked.
"Call me Gilbert and sexy in the same breath…my mother is the only other person who calls me that and, well, you can see how that might be a real turn off!"
They chuckled together.
"OK Gil," she changed her tactic, "Let me get a shower and I'll put all of those thoughts out of your mind!"
"That's a deal." He said as he got comfortable sitting on the small sofa watching the newschannel on the shipboard tv.
When Sara came out, her hair was in ringlet curls on her face. With the white towel wrapped around her body, she looked almost angelic. He took a deep breath as he surveyed her body. He took her hands and brought her to his lap. Her towel dropped and she quickly tried to pick it up, but he brushed it away. She sat, straddled, on his lap and began to kiss him with all the passion that she could imagine. She loved the feel of his beard on her face and the smell of his cologne.
She reached down to remove his towel and found that it had already been cast aside.
"Let's take this to the bed," he suggested.
"Gil," she replied, "Have you ever had couch sex before?"
"No, but I'm guessing you have?" he said.
"Yes, and you are about to!' was her only reply.
She slowly brought herself down on him and, using her knees to balance, moved herself up and down in a excruciatingly slow rhythm that made him crazy in an instant. He marveled at her body as he watched her controlling their lovemaking. He had never been with a woman who wanted her share of the control in the bedroom, but he was ok with it. Truth be told, it was a real turn on for him. He was accustomed to always being in control, and her ability to let him release the power to her, was intoxicating.
When they had both come to a release, they moved to the bed and curled up n each others arms.
"Thank you," he whispered as she was drifting off to sleep.
"For what?" she answered.
"For so may things. For waiting for me to get my head straight, for coming to Vegas when I needed you, for being my friend, for helping me to see that I don't always have to be the boss, do you need more?"
"Not tonight," she answered through her yawn, "but you can tell me more tomorrow sexy."
As they fell off to sleep, he whispered into her ear, "I love you Sara Sidle, and you can't marry me soon enough!"

The next day's lectures went according to schedule and the students were released at 3pm so they could finish their last day on the cruise with a little spare time.
Grissom was very proud of his team, but was especially proud of Greg who demonstrated the time line progression exactly as he had been taught to do.
Hearing Grissom commend him for his work made Greg very happy and excited. He loved Grissom's mentorship deeply, and he desired Grissom's approval in the same way a young man looks for his father's approval. Although Greg had been blessed with a wonderful family, he appreciated Grissom because he never treated him like a child, and set high expectations for Greg, holding him accountable for his errors. Although Grissom was not stingy with his praise, but only offered it when it was truly earned. That made it more valuable when it was given.
Grissom returned to his cabin while Greg, Sara and Nick packed up the materials from the lessons. Greg was on a natural high from his interaction with his boss. Nick and Sara smiled knowingly at each other.
Back in the cabin, Grissom checked on the email he had sent to Catherine earlier asking for an update on the Smoak case. Catherine said they were still tracking her credit card purchased and that she appeared to be heading to Nevada. He asked Catherine to have Brass put a UC officer on Nick's house just in case. She agreed that would be a good idea.

Sara returned to the cabin, ready to shower and go for a swim. She invited Greg and Nick, but they declined, having other plans for the afternoon. They did agree to meet for dinner at 6 pm.
Sara and Grissom went for a swim, but it didn't last long as the bikini brought other things "up."
Coming back to the cabin was the only possible resolution to the up and coming problem. When they had resolved the issue, they lay in each other's arms and started to discuss what their next steps would be.
"I'm going to have to leave graveyard," Sara said sadly.
"Why dear?" Grissom asked.
"Ecklie will have us both fired if he finds out what our new hobby is!"
"You are NOT a hobby," he answered, "And Conrad Ecklie can take a long walk off a short pier if he has any problems with our relationship."
"Why is that?" Sara asked.
"Because I know for a fact that Conrad has been seeing someone in the lab now and has done so previously. I will make sure that if he says anything to the Sheriff about our relationship, I promise you, he will regret it."
He looked at her, entranced by the smile that graced her face.
"Now, where were we?" he asked as he lifted her face with his hands and kissed her soundly.
