Restaurant
Captain Jim Brass smiled at CSI Sara Sidle as they sat down and ate dinner together for the umpteenth time in the past few months. They had decided to get out and enjoy nights out with company, instead of being home alone and working all gods hours.
Although it was a friendly exchange amongst good friends, there was talk, but neither gave into the dribble that was hounding the corridors. Co- workers were allowed to see each other outside work if they pleased, they didn't need permission from the boss.
That particular thought crossed Sara's mind as she reached for her glass of red white.
Jim smiled and shook his head. He was getting better at reading her. She had been in Vegas four years now and he was beginning to understand the real Sara. His thoughts and presumptions about her, were given way long ago to the compassionate, dedicated workaholic that held a beaming bright torch for her supervisor.
"Ignore them." Jim smiled.
Sara sighed and nodded in agreement. "Doesn't stop me thinking about beating the crap out of all of 'em." She remarked, causing Jim to laugh. She smiled and shrugged. "They don't understand, right?"
Jim grinned. "Right. We know what were doing and it's no ones business to the contrary."
"Good." She chuckled lightly. "It's funny though."
He began laughing again. "Yeah, it is."
Jim finished his drink and looked around. Turning his head, he caught sight of Grissom and some women. As Grissom was turning, he saw who it was. Charlotte! Not really knowing what to do at this point, he momentarily panicked. Jim knew that if Sara saw Grissom with Charlotte, no telling what she would do, or say.
Leaning over the table slighty, he motioned the aisle with a wave of his hand. "Sara, how about we get outta her, go see what's happening on the Strip?"
Sara wasn't sure where this was coming from. She saw his change in behaviour as he was acting very nervous all of a sudden. "Jim, are you ok?"
"Yeah, I just, well, I thought that we could use some fun." He shrugged helplessly, glance at Grissom. Pulling out his wallet, he paid the check in a responable hurry without being too obvious.
Standing up, Sara turned around and wouldn't you know, it there stood Grissom and his date.
Grissom was stunned not sure what to say.
Charlotte smiled at Brass and stuck her hand out to say 'hi'.
Jim took her hand said his 'hello' with a small smile. "Charlotte, this is Sara Sidle. Sara is a CSI also."
Charlotte nodded in understanding and offered her hand to the stunned brunette. "Hello Sara, nice to meet you. You must have arrived after I left."
Sara, at this point, was completely baffled. Grissom is having dinner with a women who once worked at CSI. Snapping her attention to Charlotte, she shook her hand. "Likewise Charlotte. I started right after Holly Gribbs was murdered."
Grissom kept shifting his eyes between Brass and Sara thinking now 'the gossip is true'. The lightbulb suddenly went off, 'Oh My God' Sara is dating Brass!
Jim saw this. He also noticed that Grissom was getting ready to start asking questions. He thought it would be best to get out now. Taking Sara's elbow gently, he smiled. "Sara, if your ready, I guess we need to get going."
Nodding slowly, Sara offered a fake smile to the pair. "As ready as I'll ever be!"
Jim and Sara were walking out the door when Grissom came up to Brass and asked to have a word with him.
His imidiate thoughts were, 'Oh Great, here we go. Just what I need tonight, Grissom decides to talk."
Grissom asked irather firmly. "What's going on here, Jim? How long has this- " Shifting his eyes to Sara for a moment, "-been going on?"
Sighing at the agitated scientist, he shook his head. :Gil, it's not what you think."
"Well, from the looks of it, you two are on a date."
Jim narrowed his eyes and then pinned him with a stern glare. "Grissom, shouldn't you get back to Charlotte instead of butting in to what Sara and I are doing?"
Grissom recoiled a little and nodded. "Yeah, I guess I should. Enjoy your evening." After Jim turned away, he couldn't help but look at Sara as she turned to get into Jim's car.
Inside the restaurant
Charlotte looked at Grissom carefully. "So, that was Sara? I take it you didn't know about Brass?"
Grissom shook his head solomnly, but shrugged. "Yeah, that was Sara and no I didn't know they were dating. The gossip at the lab said they were. I...I didn't think was true."
Watching him, she smiled slightly. "Well, now Sara thinks that we are together, so what are you going to do about this?"
'This' Grissom thought for a moment. What he wanted to do was go back and say 'yes' to the dinner invitation, instead he blew it. Now she's with Brass.
In Jim's Car
Sara stared at her hands. "Jim, what was that all about?"
Glancing at her briefly as he drove, he replied. "Well, Grissom thinks we are on a date and now he believes the rumours."
Sara exhaled loudly and slumped further in her seat. "What the hell I am I going to do now?"
Thinking hard, wracking his brains and watching the road, he suggested. "Sara, honey, I think we need to go get drunk. Maybe we can figure something out to get Grissom and you together."
Sara flashed him her gap-toothed smile and nods. "Swing by my place first. I gotta change clothes. If we're going to get drunk, then I need jeans on not a skirt."
Jim changed lanes safely and speedily to head for Sara's place.
Pulling up, Sara and Jim exit the car and walk up to her apartment. Once in side, Jim heads for the fridge to hunt for some beers while waiting for Sara to change. Sara was pulling on her jeans when it hit her. 'Grissom was jealous'. Sara walked out of her bedroom and grabbed a beer too.
Looking at the beer bottles with a smirk, he pointed to the phone. "I think we better cab it tonight." Sara grabbed her cell and wallet while Jim made the call to a cab company.
Back at the restaurant
It was getting too quiet and depressing, Charlotte thought. She sat up and tapped Grissom's hand. "Let's get out of here go, have a few beers and relax."
Grissom didn't need to think too much about that suggestion and nodded. "That sounds like a plan, lets go." Walking outside to the car, he asked. "Where do you want to go?"
Charlotte hummed to herself in thought as she looked around the car park. "Lets go to Ugly."
Pulling out his cell, he nodded. "Ok, but we are getting a cab. I don't think I will be able to drive home tonight."
In the cab
Jim leaned into Sara and smiled brightly at her. "Where do you want to go?"
She returned his smile and looped her arm with his. It was good to have friends. "Lets go to Coyote Ugly. I keep hearing Nick and Warick talking about it."
Telling the cab driver where they wanted to go, Jim kept thinking to himself, 'what have I got myself in to?'
They got out of the cab and continued to approach the club doors. Sara spotted some people she knew and told Jim she would be right back. Jim looked really hard at a women across the lot and noticed that is was Charlotte. Making sure Charlotte could not see him, he tried to spot Grissom. As if on cue, Grissom walked up to Charlotte. Jim saw Sara still chatting with some people and walked over to her.
"Sara, I am going to head in. I saw some people I know."
"Ok, I will be in a few."
Jim made his way in and quickly spotted Charlotte. Walking over to her, Jim asked if he could speak to her in privete. Charlotte, having a good idea what it was about, nodded toward the exit. Jim walked off and waited for her.
Charlotte turned to Grissom and touched his arm. "Gil, I will be right back. I see someone I need to talk with."
Grissom nodded and pointed towards a large crowd. "Ok, I'll be at the bar."
Charlotte walked over to Jim and jumped in before he could say anything, but hitting the nail on the head with his own thoughts. "We have got a problem on our hands and I have a strong feeling that Sara is somewhere in this bar."
"Close, she's outside talking to some people. Sara's upset over Grissom and I thought that it would be a good idea to get drunk."
Charlotte grinned. "Well, great minds think alike. I had the same idea. Grissom is in a funk over you and Sara. He thinks you two are together and that he's too late."
Jim sighed and ran his big hand through his short hair. "Ok, what are we going to do?"
Thinking, she shrugged. "I think, that we let them get drunk and then make sure they end up together."
"How are we gonna do that? If they see each other they are gonna want to leave. Then we are back to square one."
Charlotte agreed and gave the situation some more thought. She turned back to Jim and smiled. "Make sure Sara has a few in her. I will do the same with Grissom."
Jim stared with his mouth nearly hanging open. "That's your plan? Make them both drunk?"
Nodding quickly, she chuckled lightly. "Yes that is my plan. The rest, we will figure out later."
Not sure about this idea, he reluctantly agreed. "Ok, but if this goes all to hell, I am blaming you. I still have to work with them, you don't."
Charlotte laughed and patted his shoulder. "Yeah, Yeah. I will take the heat for it. Just do your part."
Jim walked away and found Sara near the entrance, looking around. "Come on Sara, I think we need to find a table." Sitting down, the waitress came over and got there drink orders. Jim told the waitress to bring them each a beer and to keep the shots coming.
Sara looked at him susprised. "You weren't joking about getting drunk were you?"
He shook his head with a smile. "No I wasn't. I think the more we drink, the smarter we will become."
Raising an eyebrow at his comment, she mouthed. "Okay."
After a few shots and four beers, Sara was getting buzzed. Jim excused himself to the restroom or so Sara thought. Charlotte saw Jim get up and did the same, joining up with him where they couldn't be seen.
Jim checked the area around them. "Ok, Sara is getting looped. How you doing with Grissom?"
Charlotte couldn't help but grin. "He's gone. Keeps saying that he has really screwed up, pushed Sara away, straight to you. He is downing them one after another."
"Ok, how do we get them to talk?"
Looking over at the dance floor, she smiled. "Well, we can get on the dance floor, let them see each other and see what happens."
Jim narrowed his eyes a little at the idea, not knowing if it was going to work or not. "Let's wait until a slow song. We get on the floor and we can switch partners."
Charlotte nodded. "Ok, lets give this a try. But, Grissom starts crying on me, I am not responsable for my actions."
Jim chuckled. "Same here. That's all we, need Sara crying, Grissom crying." He shook his head at the double image. They went went back to their tables and waited.
Hearing that a slow song was starting, he took Sara's hand and led her to the dance floor. Charlotte did the same, much to Grissom's protest. She wrapped her arms around Grissom's neck and saw Jim and Sara. Jim had his hands on Sara's waist while she had her arms wrapped loosely around his neck.
Grissom turned Charlotte and stopped abruptly. Seeing Jim and Sara locked in each others arms did it. Charlotte felt Grissom stiffen and knew he'd seen them.
Jim saw Grissom looking at them and winked. Turning Sara just enough for her to see Grissom, he held her so she couldn't leave. What Jim and Charlotte didn't expect was Grissom leaning into Charlotte to kiss her ear.
Sara saw this and got pissed. Charlotte was shocked, not sure what to do. She figured that Grissom saw them and was now trying to make Sara jealous. Turning slightly away, Sara switched places with Jim so he could see for himself. Jim's mouth dropped and instantly started thinking how the hell they were going to get out of the club with out any type of a confrontation between them.
Charlotte pulled away and plainly said to Grissom that 'there is Sara and Jim, lets go say hi'. Grissom looked at her and said they would when the song ended. Pulling Charlotte back to him, he started doing the ear thing again, moving down to her neck this time.
Jim felt Sara pulling in closer to him and started preying that she didn't start anything.
Charlotte turned, hoping that Grissom would stop it with the neck thing. Grissom looked over at Jim and Sara, stopping the neck sucking he was doing on Charlotte when he saw Sara lean into Jim and her eyes disappered. That did it for him. Now he was past being pissed. The song ended and Jim escorted Sara off the floor.
After sitting down Jim noticed that Grissom was looking at them with the 'I am going to rip your head look' Making there way to the table, Charlotte was hoping Grissom had not marked her on the floor and Sara was not about to go ape shit on her. Jim stood up and stuck out his hand to Grissom.
"Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
"We thought we'd enjoy some music and a few drinks before heading home." Grissom said strongly.
Everyone noticed how he stated 'heading home'.
Sara stood up and as nice as she could, said for them to have fun and grabbed Jim's hand.
Jim and Charlotte both knew this was about to get really ugly. Jim took Sara's hand and they headed for the door. Charlotte grabbed Grissom's arm and yanked him the whole time, going off on him for what he did in there.
Grissom walked stiffly beside her. "Charlotte, I don't know what you mean. All I did was dance with you, so I-"
Charlotte cutting him off. "All you did was dance!? Grissom you were trying to make out with me on the dance floor, all so you could make Sara jealous."
"I did not do it to make 'Sara jealous' as you put it. I did it because I wanted too. Besides, she was all over Jim after she saw you and me dancing." He remarked heatedly.
Outside, Jim and Sara were waiting for their cab.
Jim stepped closer to Sara and squeezed her hand. "Sara, are you ok?"
"Yes I am fine, I can't beleave him." She stared at her feet.
"Sara, I don't think-"
Sara cutting Jim off as she looked up. "Don't think what? I know what I saw, he was all over her like a cheap suite. I can't beleave this!"
Jim listened to Sara ramble on and on while he was trying to figure out how to get out of this mess. He spotted Charlotte and Grissom walking towards them and closed his eyes briefly. Knowing that Sara, in the state she was in, would more than likely go off and not have a care in the world about what happened next.
