Chapter X


Grissom, Catherine, Warrick, Brass and some other people were there examining the body. Nick and I were sitting down on a tree stump cuddling close to keep warm (the sun was down and it was dark out) Catherine came over to us with a letter.


'This was found with the body, we decided that Sara, you get to read it first.' She handed me the letter, then went back over to Grissom. Nick and I were left with a letter.


To who ever finds my body,


Tears were already forming in my eyes, 'Nick will you read it to me?'


'Ok,' Nick took the letter from my hand and began to read it,


'To who ever finds my body,


I would first like to say to Anna that I love you so much and that I would never hurt you in any way. Last night you and I got married, deceiving our families differences. While we were here in our tent my sister came. I have always knew that I had a sister but I had never knew her name. She found me and was bitterly angry with me for never coming to get her. She started to fight me.


But then you, Anna heard her, you came over to me and we fought her. Soon you two were on top of the rocks on the ridge where she fell. I do not blame you for her death. I can only blame myself for never looking for her. So you and I took her body b ack to your old house and we put her in your closet. When we got back to the tent you said that you wanted to take a walk. SO you went out to the lake with a champagne bottle, and you never came back.


I fell asleep by the fire that night, when I woke up the next morning I couldn't find you. So I went over to the lake. I saw you laying in a pile of rocks with the champagne bottle threw your neck. I cried for you Anna, I haven't cried since I was four years old, and I cried for you. I love you so much.


So I came back t our tent and I wrote this letter for you. After this I am going to kill myself, for you Anna. I want to be with you and show my love for you/ I can not go on with you Anna. I love you Anna, my Blaze, my wife.


Tom Foster'


Nick Finished reading the letter, my head on his shoulder with tears falling down my face. Nick put his arms around me. Catherine back over looking confused. 'This will answer all of the questions.' Nick looked at me, 'I'm going to take her home.' Catherine took the letter. Nick and I walked to the trees.


'Could we climb back Nick?' I asked.


Nick wiped my tears away, 'Sure.' Nick and I climbed the trees, with him leading the way. He stopped at one of the trees. 'You going to be ok?' He stroked my hair.


'Yeah.'


'I mean about you, not the case Sar. Your hiding something from me.'


I looked at his eyes and he looked so sad, 'Nick I can't eat anything.'


'I know.'


'What do you mean you know?!?'


'You still love David.'


'I just want to look like I use too. Before I came to Vegas, before I meet you. I want to look like I did with him.'


'You don't have t do this to yourself.'


'Yes I do.'


'You can't live in the past. Life live with every new step. Take each day like it would be your last.'


I put my head onto his shoulder, 'I don't want to forget him Nick.'


'You won't and you never will. Don't be afraid Sara.' He kissed my forehead. The wind started to pick up and was blowing my hair furiously. I went over and I kissed Nick. And in three years I sang to myself.


I, I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

They say since, baby, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)

Let's, we oughta stay together
Loving you whether, whether

The kiss held threw out my song.


'Loving you whether.' I said softly to myself.


'What did you say?'


'Nothing.' I smiled and Nick smiled back. We got back to his Tahoe, my fingers interwinded with his and we drove off to the lab.


'You have to get your Tahoe.'


'Trying to get rid of me cowboy?' I smirked.


'No I would never get rid of you.'


Times are good or bad, happy or sad
