Sara would be leaving the hospital very soon. Her leg was, for the most part, well enough to use crutches, and her concussion was better, as for her hands, and she would have to come back in a few weeks to get the stitches out. At the moment, the CSI sat upright in her bed, reading a book about crime. She was almost free of pain. Captain Brass chose this time to come to visit her.

"Hey! Looks like you're doin much better, from what I've heard." He said greeting her.

"Hi." She said back, sorry that she would have to stop reading. These days were hard for her because she wasn't working. "What's up?"

"Not much. A few cases here and there of coarse, but other than that, it's pretty boring around the lab since you've been out."

Sara smiled at him. He usually was harsh with smart talk to all who deserved it, but rarely, every once in a while; you would see his sweet side.

"What'ya got there?" The captain asked, pointing towards the book Sara held in her hands.

"Oh, just, you know, stuff about crime."

Brass nodded. "It's hard isn't it? Not being able to work."

This made her think. Did he understand? Or was he just saying that from what he had seen in the past? All she said was "Yeah, kinda. I miss working with you guys."

Brass smiled. She knew what he had really been asking her, but she was relived that she had avoided his question.

"Any more updates on cases?" Sara asked him, eager to get involved with work as soon as possible.

"I'll let the others tell you about that." He gave her a small smile, and then said. "Well, hey, I hope you get out of here soon. We really need you at the lab."

"Believe me, I hope so too!" She admitted. "But I should be getting out of here soon. I feel almost no pain now a-days."

"Good. That's good." Brass nodded. "Alright, well, I still have a lot of work to do."

"Ok, bye." Sara said.

"Good-bye, Sara." With that, he left Sara to read her book. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Sara couldn't decide, but as soon as she went back to reading her book, a nurse interrupted her again.

"Sara? You'll be out of here by tomorrow. We want to make sure that everything has healed enough for you to leave."

"Thanks" she replied.
