Sara fell into a good routine, working with almost every member of the night shift on her first week back. With little to think about, she informed Cavallo she was happy to take the job. The next day at assignments, Grissom informed the staff of Sara's new position. Everyone seemed happy for her, even Catherine. After Grissom left, Catherine walked over to Sara and congratulated her even shocked her with a quick hug. "You go girl, we need to build up our women power." Greg, of course was ecstatic when he learned he would be working with Sara on a daily basis. He also thought how lucky he was that he was to be trained by the two best CSI's there, behind him, of course.

Sara couldn't seem to forget when she and Greg got their first assignment together it was a burglary.

"Greg, what is that?"

"An apple, for the teacher!Didn't your Mother ever give you an apple to give to the teacher?"

"Greg, I'm going to pretend this conversation didn't happen."

"I guess bringing up my childhood fantasy about having sex with my teacher on her desk is out of the question?"

"Greg!" They turned around to see Grissom standing in the doorway. "Greg, do we need to have a conversation regarding Sexual Harassment?"

"No boss, just joking around. I'm ready to learn." Sara looked at Grissom during the conversation, and she could almost see the tiniest smile on Grissom's face.

As the three walked down the hall to their assignment, Grissom casually bumped Greg and whispered, "Greg, the apple was funny."

Greg looked up to his new Mentor and chimed "Does that mean my fantasy is still up for discussion?"

"Greg, don't push it."

It was nice how naturally the three of them worked together. The burglary was an open and shut case. The criminals not only left their prints all over the house, but one of them actually left his wallet. Despite the ease of their assignment, Sara carefully explained and showed Greg step by step crime scene procedures.

Grissom for the most part sat back in awe observing Sara's training ability. He knew Sara was the most technically sound of all the night shift CSI's, but now she was proving she could share her skills with Greg. The Sara he saw before him was a much stronger person, and he counted 10 episodes of actual laughing from her today, 9 more than he heard in the past year. He was glad he had the conversation with Cavallo, despite it looking bad that he made the mistake in the first place.

"Grissom, can you take the evidence and Greg back to the lab? I have to meet my "Little Sister" in half an hour. "

"Sure. And Sara, good work on training Greg."

Sara turned around and flashed him her million-dollar smile. Grissom felt his heart flutter at the site of a happy Sara. "Thanks Gris, see you tomorrow."

Sara wanted to get to the center where she was to meet Molly early. She wanted to ask the director for some background on Molly so she could know what to expect. The director was happy to see her, and asked her to take a seat. While waiting for the Director to skim through Molly's file, Sara couldn't help but think how nervous she was. Her nervousness was lost as the director told her all about Molly's background.

"Molly comes from a broken home, the father is currently in jail for multiple cases of abuse on her Mother, the last time landing her Mom, Megan, in the hospital for 5 weeks. Although Molly was not abused herself, she witnessed more than any 6 year old should see. Megan decided not to tell Molly her father was in Jail, so try and avoid that conversation. Molly suffers from anxiety, nightmares and attachment issues."

Sara took it all in, and couldn't help thinking the director was talking about her. She only wished there were this type of program when she was a girl, maybe it would save her from years of anxiety, nightmares and attachment issues. Sara was now more determined than ever to help this girl out, and make her realize this wasn't her fault, and that she was special. The director looked over Sara's shoulder to see Molly walking in. Sara turned around to see the lanky blond hair- blue eyed girl walking towards her. Sara quickly got up and surveyed her. Darn, she was cute! Why did she have to have such a hard life for a 6 yr old. She should only worry about silly things, not such horrible things as seeing her Mom and Dad fight.

"Hi Molly, my name is Sara." The little girl didn't say much, just looked up at Sara with her big blue eyes.

"Molly, are you hungry? We could go to McDonalds and get some lunch?" Molly nodded her head in agreement, and took Sara's hand. Sara turned to the director and told her she would be back at 6pm, giving them 6 hours to get to know each other. Sara wasn't sure what they would do after lunch; she made a mental note to ask Catherine what 6-year-olds like to do.

Lunch went over well, although the two didn't talk much. Sara asked Molly what she wanted to do next, and Molly suggested they go the park. Sara decided to go to the park near her house, parking her car in her normal parking spot.

Molly again took Sara's hand while walking to the park. Molly told Sara she just started kindergarten, and that she was learning to read. Sara told Molly if she need any help to make sure and ask, and Sara could help her out. Sara saw the first smile from Molly all day, and noticed she had a big gap between her front teeth. It was ironic how similar she and Molly were, both physically and emotionally.

Sara was not so prepared for the next conversation they had.

"Sara, do you have a Mom and Dad?"

"Yes, Molly, I do. They live in California."

"Are they nice to you?" Molly looked up again at Sara and Sara noticed her eyes were filling up with tears.

"Molly, all parents are not nice some times, but are nice most of the time. My parents had their ups and downs." Sara did not want to reveal too much about her past, but she wanted Molly to know she wasn't alone.

The two talked back and forth for a while, and as the sun was setting, Sara needed to get Molly back to the center. Sara gave Molly her home and cell phone numbers, and told her to call anytime. When they arrived back at the center, Molly jumped up and hugged Sara. "Sara, do you promise you will come back and be my friend again?" The statement ripped through Sara's heart. "Of course Molly, I'll see you next week. What do you want to do next week?"

"The Zoo, I want to go the Zoo". Molly smiled as Sara agreed to take her to the zoo next week.
