Ack! I'm such a dummy. I got a really good response (for me) and I don't
continue. Well now I've come to my senses and decided to keep going with
this. If I make and huge mistakes please feel free to tell me, in fact,
please do! Thanks in advance.

On the drive from Desert Palm back to the lab, Sara pondered how she should explain. She had talked to Grissom about telling the rest of the team about their relationship when Catherine had found out, but they hadn't done anything.
She knew in her heart of hearts that she would have to have a reason that she was MIA for a third of her shift, and that getting the truth out would be the only way to keep her out of a growing web of lies.
Sara pulled into her normal parking place and switched off the engine. Climbing out of the truck, she put on a smiling face and tried as much as possible to keep her sprits up.
. . : : . . ~*~*~*~
As Sara entered the office, her appearance was clearly elated. Catherine caught up with her and asked how their boss was doing.
"Oh he's perfectly fine. I'm really happy too."
Patting her on the shoulder Catherine nodded,
"Do they know how it happened?"
Suddenly Sara stopped in her thoughts.
"You know, I never thought to ask. Hey, will you tell everyone how he's doing? I'll go back to the hospital and ask. See ya!"
Sara practically ran out the door and into the hall, leaving Catherine to stand there open-mouthed at Sara's behavior.
. . : : . . ~*~*~*~
Once in the empty hallway, Sara filled her lungs with the stale, cold air of the government building. Drama was the only class in school where she hadn't gotten top marks, and she had definitely done some seriously acting a moment ago. She began an old pastime to calm herself down, which involved plugging her ears and crouching down.
Unfortunately, Sara forgot she was doing this in plain sight of the whole building and that someone could walk by and see her.
Suddenly Warrick came walking out of the DNA lab, results in hand, and barely noticed the crouched Sara by the door. When he did, he came over and tapped her on the shoulder, causing Sara to instinctively snapped her head up.
"Whatcha doing down there", Warrick asked with a slight chuckle in his voice.
Sara quickly straitened and dusted her clothes off, embarrassed at being caught.
"I was just trying to calm down. I had to.... do something that I didn't want to and I was having a little trouble. But I'm fine."
The slight arch in one of his eyebrows suggested that he thought differently, but his words kept locked in his mind. His only other reaction was a slight nod of his head and a little pat of the hand that had been resting on her shoulder.
Let her breath that she hadn't known she had been holding out and picked herself up off the hard linoleum. She dusted herself off quickly and once again set out for her car to head to Desert Palm.
