Sara's heart fell to the pit of her stomach. She didn't even want to guess who it was, because if it was who she thought it was, she would have to kill herself. She heard Hank laugh and then great the mystery man behind her.
Warrick.
-----
I'm on fire
And the day is feeling hopeless
You'd see me burning but the burning's turning smokeless
Soon I won't feel at all, no
-----
Oh, thank God! Sara thought to herself. Sara smiled when he pulled his hands away and Warrick slid into the booth next to her. Sara wanted to kiss him right then. Her one and only savior. She was just hoping he would be able to stay until she could get out of there. Sara glanced at her watch. It was already nine fifteen and shift started in forty minutes. She knew that Warrick wasn't going to be staying long.
Oh well, at least he was here for now. And that was a start. "Hey, Warrick," Sara finally managed to say. Warrick raised an eyebrow at her and she gave him a desperate look. Maybe he would notice she was drowning and help give her an excuse to get the hell out of there.
-----
It's electric the neon hurt inside your phone call
The layered sadness and the madness it revolves
Bringing down the walls where you found her, no
-----
"I was just stopping by to speak to a friend of mine who works here," Warrick told her. "I saw you and I figured I might as well came say hi. I must say, you look like crap," Warrick grinned as he said this.
Sara smiled despite herself, "That's what happens when your airbags don't work. You get all cut and scraped up nice and good. It's good to see a familiar face again though. Grissom's cut me off from the lab until he's sure I'm all better." She focused all her attention away from Hank to Warrick.
-----
Well, I'm willing to break myself
To shake this hell from everything I touch
I'm willing to bleed for days my... reds and grays
So you don't hurt so much
-----
As soon as it had started, it was over. Warrick explained that he needed to go ahead and get to the crime lab. He was in the middle of an important case and he needed to get cracking on it. Sara nodded lifelessly and watched him walk away in slow motion. So much for saving me, Sara thought. Now she would actually have to talk to Hank. Never a good thing in her experience.
The waitress came and picked up Sara's empty salad bowl. Hank watched her figure as she slowly walked away, shaking her hips in a sexy manner the whole way. Sara cleared her throat to get his attention and when that didn't work, Sara just picked up her half full glass of water and tossed it at his face.
-----
And now I'm static
As your sky is turning purple and gray
I'm learning that the further that I crawl
The farther that I fall, is that ok? No
-----
Sara wasn't sure what shocked him more. The fact that she had done or how cold the water was. Whichever one it was, Sara didn't really care. He had had his eyes open, so she knew he had lemon juice in his eyes. And that was a bitch. Served him right for looking at someone else while he was supposed to be discussing a relationship with her.
-----
And you're in pieces
As your world becomes a rainstorm
You've got no shelter I'm a thousand miles away
If you survive the day
-----
Sara stood up and walked away from the table, never once looking back. She didn't feel bad about leaving the check with him. The date was, after all, his idea. And he was the one who had ruined it.
----------
Warrick walked into the lab that night, still frowning. He had been frowning ever since he had spotted Sara sitting there with Hank, and it appeared to be a date, at the steak house. He was a little confused as to her reasons why she was even going out with him again, but he hadn't dared ask in front of Hank.
When Warrick walked into the break room, Nick was already standing by the coffee machine, staring down at the black junk in his Styrofoam cup that the brand called coffee. Nick looked up at Warrick when he heard the door open. Nick nodded his head slightly in greeting and Warrick just grinned. "Man, have I got the weirdest news ever," he said without missing a beat.
Nick sighed and took a sip of the coffee. He tried not to choke, but it was hard. He ended up just throwing the cup, still full of the crap, into the plastic trashcan. "This is Vegas, Warrick. Almost everything here is weird."
"Yeah, I know. But not all the weird stuff in Las Vegas has to do with Sara," Warrick mentioned. Nick's head snapped up at her name, but he tried to remain cool, "What about her?" he asked calmly as if he didn't really care.
"I saw her before break," Warrick said, pausing for a minute to be more dramatic. "And she was out with Hank."
