Grissom looked up to see Sara Sidle standing in the doorway of his office. She didn't look happy. In fact, she looked downright miserable.

"What can I do for you Sara?" Grissom inquired. He sat back in his chair and removed his glasses.

"Cath just found out I closed the case on Eddie. I don't think she was too happy with the results. Gris, I had two liars and no murder weapon. What was I supposed to do?" Sara whined. She plopped into the chair across from his desk.

"You did the best you could with the evidence you had. We don't win them all. Cath is just upset. You would be too. She nearly lost Lindsey. I'm sure she doesn't blame you personally." Grissom replied.

"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that. I think she does blame me. I'm surprised she didn't ask for someone else to take over the case." Sara responded.

"Well, see, she didn't. I think you're right about that. If she thought you weren't doing all there was to be done, she probably would have made that very request. She would probably treat Nick, Warrick or any other CSI the same if they had been assigned the case. She's upset." Grissom soothed.

"I doubt she'd treat you this way." Sara retorted. "I'm going home."

Grissom watched her leave, absently rubbed the earpiece of his glasses along his cheek and thought to himself. "If she knew the truth, Catherine would probably rip my balls off and shove them down my throat for endangering Lindsey."

He considered Candeece and Harley guy for a moment. They had each lied and accused the other of shooting Eddie. Well, he was fortunate Eddie kept company with idiots who looked for the easy out when they got into a jamb. If they had both denied it and not accused each other, the case would still be open. Sara and Vega would have possibly been delving deeper into Eddie's life looking for someone with a motive to kill him. Their search might have led them right here.
