"Isn't she sweet?" Nick asked Warrick, as Warrick read the very short letter. "There she is totally busy with taking care of Emily and doing other things at the same time, and she has time to print out 'I still love you' on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope addressed to me and send it in the mail. God I love that woman."

"It sure is sweet. Would you get mad if I asked her to send me mushy love notes?" Warrick said as the two shared a laugh.



"May I ask what you are doing?" Grissom asked Sara as he poked his head into the layout room.

"Reading Tina's fan mail." She said not even bothering to look up from the mounds of letters that lay on the table.

"Find anything interesting?" Grissom questioned.

"No." Sara spoke with a flat tone.

"Do you expect to find something in those letters?"

"Don't know." Sara shot back quickly.

"I detect a bit of anger in your words. Are you mad at me?" Grissom asked now walking in, standing next to the table.

"Why would I?" Sara spoke once again, not even bothering to look up at her superior.

"Well for one, I told Nicky, Warrick and Catherine to work on the new case, which has left you to work on this one by yourself." Grissom paused. "Sara, you've always hinted at wanting to work on cases by yourself. And well, I think you're ready."

"Ready for what?" She snapped. "Ready to go on a date by myself with out friends? Ready to go to the prom with a boy? Ready to drive a car with out a licensed driver sitting in the passenger seat? Grissom, I have always been ready! I've been ready since day one but yet for some odd reason, I'm always the last one to work a case all by myself! I have too much here and you leave it all on my plate with no one to help me finish the fries." Sara popped up from her chair, grabbing a few notes and dashed out of the room.



"Do you believe him?" Nick asked Catherine as they reviewed the case files.

"Yes. I do believe him. He's being sincere. We cannot ask Mr. Spencer because he's dead and we're going on fingerprints and the same MO with Sara's case. I think it's time to pair up with Sara and work on this together. Someone knows something, and they're out there, and we're going to find them. It just may take some time." Catherine spoke with conviction.

"Hey you guys...." Sara said as she walked into the break room. "I just came back from documents and Ronnie spotted something under the lights when I got him to check out the letters of Tina's, and well he found the chemicals that were found also in your model's body. It was spilled all over this letter here."

"Ugh, does that have... cyanide on it?" Nick asked. Sara nodded. "That's hazardous. And deadly."

"Chill Nick. It's been contained under the covering. And it's trace amounts. Quit freaking out." Sara sighed.

"Well, that's good. Because now, we're officially merging the two cases." Warrick spoke. "So grab a chair because we're going to be here all night."



"Hello?" Jennifer asked as she spoke into the telephone handset.

"Is Nick there please?" The female on the other side asked.

"No, I'm sorry he's not. May I ask who's calling." There was a pause. "Hello? May I ask who's calling?"

"It's alright. I'll call back later." Click.

Jennifer hung up the phone and glanced into space. "Well that's weird."
