Very short chapter…the next one will be longer

The Morgue

Sara and Greg sat with Dr. Robbins waiting for Grissom. Greg kept asking Sara what this was all about. He wanted to know for sure, but he had a pretty good idea what the reason they were here was. Sara just told him that Grissom would tell them when he got there. Grissom finally arrived and delicately told the pair about the FBI agents' concerns for their safety.

Robbins didn't seem to be bothered much by the information. Grissom had apologized several times for dragging him into this situation, but the coroner told him there was no need for apologies. Greg, on the other hand, seemed to be very distressed by the news. He sat with a frown looking down at the floor. Sara felt bad for Greg and laid a hand on his shoulder. "You okay, Greggo?" she softly asked.

He sat up a little straighter and lifted his head. "I'm fine. This is all just a little unsettling."

"Hey, shift's just about over. How about we get the hell out of here and go get a couple drinks?"

"Yeah, that sounds like a real good idea. Where do you want to go?" he asked, quickly returning to his usual excited self.

"How about Unwound? It's a nice quiet little bar…not many tourists."

"Yeah, okay. Would you mind if I invited everyone else to come along? For some reason I feel like having a lot of people around me right now."

"I don't mind, Greg," Sara said. She didn't bother to mention that she was planning on inviting everyone anyway. "Hey, Griss, we're all gonna meet at Unwound after shift. You and Doc are invited to join us."

"Do you think it's a good idea to go out?" Grissom asked.

"It's gotta be safer than going home alone," Sara responded. "Come on, Greg. I'll call us a cab. After the last few days I've had…I don't plan on being able to drive home." Grissom looked up sharply at her. She smiled at him and stood, helping Greg up with her. She put her arm around Greg's shoulders and walked him to the door and out of the morgue. Grissom watched them go and secretly wished that it were him that Sara had her arm around.

Once Sara and Greg had disappeared, Grissom turned to the coroner and asked, "So, Doc, will you be joining us for drinks?"

"I think I'm just gonna head home. You're actually going to go out for drinks with them?" he asked surprised.

Grissom shrugged. "Yeah."

"Well, have fun."

"Thanks. I'll see you later, Doc." Grissom left the morgue wondering to himself how he was going to hide the fact that he was only going to the bar to keep an eye on Sara. He had to make sure she was safe.
