Stupidity on My End
Grissom had to think fast in order to explain this one. He was a terrible liar, but he couldn't tell her the truth.
"Oh, uh, I just got a little bored after finishing my paper work so I just doodled," He hoped Sara believed him.
"Then why not throw it in the garbage?" Sara knew exactly what that piece of paper was, but she wasn't about to let Grissom know she knew.
Grissom was stuck now.
"I guess I put it in my pocket accidentally."
"Oh, well, I'll put it in the garbage for you."
Sara crumpled up her duplicated diary page and threw it in the garbage in the break room.
"There."
Grissom let out a semi-audible sigh. "Thanks, Sara."
"No problem."
Shift had ended and they went to their respective vehicles and went home.
Curiosity was getting the best of Sara. Was Grissom trying to read her diary because he was curious? Or was he wondering what was causing her behavior?
'Like he'd actually noticed,' She thought to herself.
Rrrringgg rrringgg rrringg
Sara reached over and answered her phone, not looking at the caller ID. She thought it was Nick or Warrick calling to see if she wanted to go out.
"Sidle."
"Sara? It's Grissom."
This caught her by surprise. She had the day off, but then again, she always got called to work on her day off, or she went on her own free will.
"Yeah, what case do I have tonight?" Sara asked a little too eagerly.
"You don't have a case. I have to tell you something."
"Oh, like what you were doing with my diary and why you had copied a page of it?"
Grissom expected this. He always seemed to be doing the wrong things lately, and this sure wasn't helping.
"Look, Sara, it wasn't like I was trying to invade your privacy..."
"Yeah, and reading someone's diary just spells trust, doesn't it?"
"Sara, let me explain."
"Fine. And it better be the truth because I can tell."
"I just wanted to know what was going on with you. Our relationship had been deteriorating for some time and I want to build it up again."
There was a pause.
"Well, you weren't going to get that from that page, Griss."
"Really?"
"You just copied down a case I had. That wasn't a personal entry."
How could he know that for sure? Only she could understand her own little language and she probably won't be sharing it with him anytime soon.
"Oh, okay. I don't
feel guilty anymore."
"And I sure as hell won't
bring my journal anymore. You can't keep your snooping eyes away or
off of it."
Sara slammed down her phone. She lied. That page wasn't about a case. It was about missing California. But she wasn't about to say that to Grissom. He'd just tell her she needs a vacation to rest up. Sara wasn't one to take vacations. If she wasn't working, she wasn't happy. Now it seemed she couldn't be happy doing anything, but working mad her upset the least, for now.
"Stupidity on my own end," She mumbled under her breath after she calmed down.
"Stupidity on my end," Sighed Grissom into the phone receiver. The only answer he got was the dial tone.
