Grissom had a lot to think about on his drive home. He held the paper in his hand that Sara had dropped in his office. HE wondered who Laura Sidle was, was it Sara's mom? What had she done to be put in jail? Perhaps it was Sara's sister, he didn't know Sara to have a sister, but she seldom talked about her past, so who knows, whoever it was, Grissom knew it would bring demons form Sara's past with it. He had always noticed that cases with children always bothered Sara as well as Rape cases, he vaguely thought back to the Kay Shelton Case where her husband beat her and killed her, she had openly told him she had nightmares about the case and he told her it was empathy. You can be such an insensitive ass, Gil! He thought to himself. Something in her past has made her this way and now she wants to share it with you, so you must be on your best behavior and show her that you care.

He pulled into his driveway and got out of the truck and retreated to the confines of his townhouse and the sweet sanctuary of his bedroom for some much needed sleep. He hoped that would clear his head.

The shower was hot. Sara didn't realize how hot it was until her flesh was so hot it was sore. She then turned the shower off and climbed out of the shower and went to get dressed. She made herself a pot of coffee and sat on the couch to collect her thoughts. She got up and poured herself a cup of coffee and reached for her jacket to retrieve the paper she had jotted down the information about Laura on.

Gone!

Fuck! What the hell happened to that?

She went into panic mode and quickly picked up the phone and dialled Grissom's number.

"Grissom" the sleepy sound came from the phone.

"Griss, its …Sara!"

"Sara? Do you ever sleep?"

"I know Griss, I am sorry, but I didn't happen to drop a piece of paper on your floor this morning, did I?"

"Yes, as a matter of fact you did, why?"

"It is important, can you bring it with you tonight? You still are coming tonight, right?"

"Yes Sara, I will bring it with me tonight, is there anything else I can do for you, or can I go back to sleep?"

"Thanks Griss, I am sorry I woke you up.

"S'ok Sara, I will see you later."

Well that crisis was adverted, she thought, now the only one who knows what is on that paper besides her is Grissom. This evening may be harder that she had once thought.

Sara threw on her shoes, grabbed her purse and keys and headed for the door. She decided that sleeping wasn't an option so she had to run to the supermarket to get food for their meal for tonight.

He knew she was a vegetarian, after the whole dead pig wrapped in a blanket case with Kaye Shelton, but she couldn't expect him to enjoy tofu, she invited him, so she figured she should prepare him some real food in addition to her vegetarian delights.

The supermarket was oddly crowded for nearly eleven in the morning. She ran over to the meat department and looked for some meat for Grissom. She decided on Salmon, at least it was meat and it wouldn't gag her to cook it. She also decided that the side dish she would cook would be rice. And they would have a nice salad to start them off. She thought about wine, but after the whole DUI thing not that long ago, she decided that sparkling grape juice would have to do. She gathered up her things and headed to the checkout.

When she arrived home she busily began to prepare the food. It was nearly lunchtime and she hadn't yet eaten so she quickly whipped something fast up for lunch for her. She put everything away and retreated for the couch to curl up with her cup of coffee.

Dessert? Damn, what will we have for dessert? She asked herself.

She got up and looked through her cupboards. She saw that she had some ground wafer crumbs, some allfruit jam and some cream cheese. She quickly thought that with only a few more items she could make some mini cheesecakes. Sara suddenly remembered that there was frozen dessert topping in the freezer. She retrieved it and began to build her creation.

By three o'clock, the dessert was setting in the fridge, the "wine" was chilling, the veggies were prepped and the salmon was in the oven. She was quite proud of her accomplishments and she went to try and find something to wear.

She wanted it to be nice, but not too nice, she didn't want it to seem she was trying too hard, she decided on a nice pair of black dress slacks and a button down shirt. It wasn't entirely different from what she wore any other day, but Grissom had never seen her wear this outfit, she had just bought it not too long ago. With her outfit picked out, she scooped it up and headed back into the shower.

She got out of the shower, got dressed and looked at the clock, it was just after three-thirty, she had only a mere two hours before Grissom would arrive, the butterflies started to surface in her belly.
