Chapter Sixteen
Grissom was posting the rather large pile of file folders at the front desk when an annoying voice came from behind him. At first he ignored it, hoping it would go away, but no such luck.
"Gil!?" Ecklie stood there in a suit, with his briefcase in hand and a rather large grin on his face.
Grissom looked at the expensive suit before acknowledging him. "Conrad. What do you want?" He didn't want to talk now, not after a pain staking five hours of signing reports, DNA results, and evidence reports. All he wanted to do was pick Sara up and go home.
"Don't be like that. I just wanted to relay a message from the Sheriff. He want's to see you before you leave. Now that's done, I gotta change." He walked towards the locker room, leaving Grissom to head up to speak to Mobley.
Grissom had a fair idea what Mobley would want to see him about, so he wasn't too bothered. He walked up to his office door and knocked three times. When he heard a muffled 'come in' he entered.
"Ah Gil, take a seat." Grissom sat across from the dark orange haired man and waited for him to continue. "Gil, I've heard that you have recently begun a relationship with someone from your team. Now, you know the rules and regulations better than I do, so lets not dwell on that part and get straight to it. Relationships are not uncommon in a close working environment such as this one, so as long as you don't use favouritism towards this other person when working together and to remember the PDA and 'No affection at work' policy, then we shouldn't have a problem. You have a right not to mention that person's name, but there will most likely be rumours floating around, so inform her."
Grissom was surprised to say the least, but he did know that the Sheriff couldn't do anything as long as no rules were broken, although they had already done so, but no one had noticed outside the team, so no harm was done.
"Thank you, Brian." Grissom stood and shook Mobley's out stretched hand.
"Gil, you've been here for more years than I can remember and I have not seen you compromise a case, crime scene or work place, so don't brake the rules and we can both carry out our jobs with out bumping into each other. Ok?"
Grissom opened the door and turned back before leaving. "Thanks again, Brian."
He's late, he's never late. Sara sat on the bed, looking out the window at the sun pouring over the tall buildings and watching the shadows flicker with the clouds that hung in the sky. She looked towards the door, which was open, to see nurses gathered at the nurse's station, all chatting about some new paediatric doctor three levels down. Sara turned her attention back to the window and stood slowly, she walked to look below at the car park, searching for that familiar midnight blue Tahoe, but couldn't see it.
Grissom walked quietly into the room when he saw Sara walk to the window and stare out of it. He walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. He gave her such a scare she practically jumped a foot in the air. "Grissom!" Sara screeched as she turned around to face him.
He chuckled and pulled her into a hug. "Sorry, didn't mean to scare you. What were you thinking about?" He pulled back to see her face, waiting for her to answer.
"Oh, nothing really. I was just wondering where you were, that's all. You're late." Sara pulled away and walked slowly to the bed to pick up her bag, but Grissom grabbed it before she could. "Thanks." She said smiling.
"Ready to go?" He helped her put her coat on. Sara winced at the little shoots of pain in her stomach when she stretch to push her arms into her coat. "You all right?" He asked.
She turned to him and answered both questions in one. "Yep." Sara signed the forms so she could leave and they both headed to Grissom's townhouse.
