Dead bodies and New Life Chapter 26 – Pick on someone your own size.
Sara arrived at work and went straight to Gil's office to put her sandwich and shake in the fridge. She found a post it note on his desk and scribbled a note for him, opening his top drawer she stuck it so he would see it when he opened it, then made her way to the break room to receive her assignment for the evening.
Two hours later she was sat in one of the quiet labs at a table with the light out and the UV lit scanning a pair of trousers and a T shirt for semen and or blood stains. She had already isolated four on the trousers, and was just finishing at the waistband when she was interrupted.
"Sidle, have you processed the sheets from my case yet?" Ecklie asked, annoyed and without so much as a hello, as he switched the main bright light back on.
Sara turned around to glare at him "you know I couldn't possibly have yet, because you only asked me fifteen minutes ago, and I was already working on these" she replied sarcastically motioning to the evidence in front of her.
"How long before you can have them done,I want them ASAP" he replied glaring at her.
"How long is a piece of string Ecklie?" she smirked as she looked at him.
He walked towards her "Don't be a smart ass Sidle, I asked you a perfectly good question, which I am still waiting for a reply for." he was almost in her face.
"Unlike some people, I don't like to rush processing, because that only leads to missing important evidence that could be crucial in securing a conviction, so I will process the sheets when I am finished up here, and page you with the results" she said, stepping back slightly, out of smelling range of his breath.
"What are you insinuating Sidle?" he gritted his teeth in obvious anger.
"Nothing, I am just answering your original question Ecklie" she said smugly.
He turned abruptly walking towards the door "I will be waiting and don't take all night, because I have loads of paperwork for you to do, seeing as you are stuck in the lab." he turned and smiled sickly at her, before leaving.
Sara made toward the light switch to turn it off again muttering "Damn stupid man, he wouldn't see a clue if it bit him on the ass"
By 9pm she had processed the trousers and T shirt, two sheets of Ecklie's after numerous pages from him asking if they were ready, and was now sat in the break room sipping her mug of tea, whilst attempting to go through the pile of paperwork Ecklie had dumped in front of her with a smug look.
"Hey, everything okay?" Gil asked as he came into the room, seeing her trying to wade through the pile, he quickly looked around to see if they were alone. Seeing that they were, he bent down and kissed her quickly "Whose is all that paperwork?" he sat down next to her facing the door.
"Ecklie's" she sighed loudly "and I only just started" she looked into his beautiful blue eyes.
Gil frowned "Sara you shouldn't be doing his paperwork, the little shit has a secretary to take care of that" he said annoyed now, then looked at her "Have you had a break yet?"
"No, I have been busy all evening" she said wearily.
Gil stood and gently pulled her with him "Go to my office and get your shake and sandwich, and take a break, you will feel better" he said caressing her lower back.
She went to grab the pile of paperwork "Leave them, I will deal with them, you go and I will be back in ten minutes, okay honey" he grabbed the pile himself.
"But Gil" she protested.
"But Gil nothing Sara, I will give Ecklie his paper work back, don't worry" he said pointedly at her as he left the room in search of his nemesis.

Storming down the corridor in the direction of the lab director's office, Gil could feel his heart pumping with the anger running through him, he was gripping the files tight as he approached and looked around to see if anyone was about. The hall was clear, his secretary nowhere to be seen, and Ecklie sat at his desk reading unaware of the upcoming confrontation.
Gil pushed the door open quickly with a hard shove, went to the front of Ecklie's desk and dropped the pile of files messily with a hard thump, then rounded the desk quickly before Ecklie had time to react, and gripped him by the jacket lapels and lifted him up and against the office wall.
One quick look around again to check they were still alone "Don't you ever dump your paperwork on Sara ever again, she is not your secretary or your slave, you got that?" he put his face closer to Ecklie, his eyes dilated in restrained anger "And if I ever hear that my pregnant fiancée has not had her break because of you, and her or our baby come to any harm, so help me god Conrad, they won't find you, if I find you first, are you listening to me you ass?" Gil said shoving Conrad against the wall before letting him go, then turned to leave.
"I could have your job for this Gil" Ecklie said dubiously as he sat down, not wanting to anger the man further, but trying to show that he wasn't really scared of the man.
"Go ahead Conrad, oh and where are your witnesses" he asked smugly "And by the way I am still off the clock until ten" he said confidently leaving the office to stride back to Sara in his office.

Gil entered his office and saw Sara sat on the couch eating, so he sat next to her with a satisfied smirk on his face.
"What did you do Gil?" she asked him frowning and trying to read his eyes.
"Just gave him his files back, and told him not to dump them on you again" he smiled nonchalantly.
Sara frowned a bit skeptically at him "Is that all you did Gil?"
Gil smirked at her "I may have threatened him and gripped him against the wall"
"You didn't, my god are you trying to get fired Gil?!" she said exasperatedly shaking her head.
He put his arm gently round her shoulders "Don't worry, no one was around to see it, but I wish you could have, he nearly peed his pants" chuckling he pulled her to him so he could kiss her temple.
She looked shocked at him "Are you insane?"
"No, I am just looking out for my family, the beautiful woman and baby I love, no one is going to upset or hurt either of you while I am around, so don't forget it" he emphasized with a soft kiss to her lips.
How could she argue with that "We both love you too, but calm down with the alpha male crap, I love the softer cuddly side of Gilbert Grissom better" she snuggled into him.
"Okay, for you anything" he relaxed contented, with her beside him.
