Gil was awakened by a knock at the door. Sara rolled over to look at him as he got up.
"What's that?" She sleepily asked.
"It's the door sweetie, go back to sleep." He said as he put on his robe and walked out of the room.
He unlocked the door to see who was knocking. It was Sofia.
"You son of a bitch." She spat loudly at him. "Physc evaluation, why do you think I'm crazy Grissom?" Her tone was taunting.
"Sofia, I think you should leave." He said as he tried to shut the door.
She pushed him out of the way and walked in. "Did I wake you Grissom? Or did I interrupt something?"
Sara came rushing out of the bedroom clad only in Grissom's shirt. "What's the matter, Hun, what's with all the shouting?" Right then Sara realized what was going on.
"You bitch!" She called at Sara. "I knew there was something going on between you two. I bet you are the reason I'm being punished." She got right in her face.
"What?" Sara yelled back. "You are the one who tried to kill me, you are like some kind of phsyco."
A hand reached up and slapped Sara across the face sending her backwards. She lost her balance and fell to the floor. Sofia jumped on her and started hitting her. Grissom ran over and pulled her off of Sara and held her down."
"Sara call the cops, tell them to get here immediately." She did as she was told. Grissom restrained Sofia until they got there. The cops escorted her away for a full psychological evaluation. Grissom felt it was necessary after the night's events; Sofia was a danger to everyone, including herself.
Sara looked at Grissom after the cops escorted Sofia away. "Griss, she is nuts. She could have killed me."
"I wouldn't have let her. This is all Conrad's fault and he has the edacity to criticize my supervisory skills. He knew about this and didn't disclose it to me or anyone else. I'll make sure he gets reprimanded for this as well, Assistant Director or not." He took Sara in his arms. "How bout we go back to bed, its still early yet." Sara nodded in agreement and took his hand and led him to the bedroom.
The next night when they got to work, Grissom filed the necessary paperwork to suspend Sofia pending a full phsyc evaluation. He also put in a complaint to the Director of the lab against Ecklie for withholding pertinent information about an employee of the lab. He took it to the Director himself to ensure that something got done.
Grissom knocked on the door to Cavallo's office. "Robert, can I talk to you please?"
Cavallo nodded. "Come on in Gil, what's this about?"
Grissom took a seat in front of him. "Sofia Curtis."
"What about Sofia, Gil?"
"Were you told about her condition the schizophrenia she suffers with?"
"She has what? Why wasn't I told this? How did you find out?"
"Ecklie withheld the information from all of us, you included. She nearly killed CSI Sidle not once, but twice. She is unstable and her behaviour lately has been less than questionable."
"Did you speak to her about this, Gil."
"Yes, as her supervisor I gave her a verbal warning." Cavallo was nodding. "I have the paperwork requesting a full evaluation for Sofia Curtis in my hand. I had to have her escorted from my house this morning, she nearly killed Sara." Cavallo noted what he had just said and kept it to himself for a few more minutes until he was done speaking. "I also want Conrad Ecklie reprimanded for doing this, it is all his fault, this whole mess could have been prevented."
"Gil, would you want the job of Assistant Director?" Cavallo asked.
"Robert, you know as well as I do that I'm not cut out for that. As far as I'm concerned your best bet right now would be Catherine Willows."
Cavallo wrote down what he had just said and thought about Grissom's comments from earlier. "Gil, is there something going on between you and Sara Sidle?"
Grissom was quiet for a minute and looked up at Cavallo. "Yes, we are dating. It's only been a short while and we didn't want to go public quite yet. Actually, other than Catherine, who figured it out on her own, Sir you are the first to know."
"Is this going to interfere with your jobs?" He asked already knowing the answer. Grissom was a professional and so was Sara, he knew they wouldn't let this jeopardise their careers.
"No. We are both professionals. Besides, there is no rule against it, I already looked into it." Grissom was smiling.
"I hope she makes you happy Gil."
"More than you know." He stood up and walked out of the office.
Ecklie was made to apologize to both Sara and Grissom in writing and was demoted from his current position. He was made to take swing shift supervisor. The Assistant Director job was given to Catherine. Sofia Curtis was ruled mentally incompetent and put in a mental hospital to help her to cope with her problems. Sara and Grissom's relationship came out and everyone was happy for them.
The End.
