CHAPTER III

Sara quickly pulled her arm from Greg and he too, dropped his arm to his side. Sara got that familiar tingling feeling whenever Grissom's around and quickly looked away. She cleared her throat and walked to seat beside Catherine and settled there.

"Greg..." Grissom spoke to the lab technician. "Aren't you supposed to be somewhere, working?"

"Right..." Greg good-naturedly joked. "Right you are , Grissom. So I shall take my exit. Sara..." He looked over to her direction and said, "I shall see you at break time?"

Sara looked up to his face, a wide smile once again spreading on her face and said, "Yep, meet you there."

With his answer in tow, Greg left the the CSI's and their supervisor looking with a furrowed brow at Sara. Sara didn't meet Grissom's eyes. She wanted to avoid it. She didn't want to be left deciphering what that look meant. God knows she had overdone deciphering what little things he did to her meant.

"Okaaaaay." Catherine sliced through the silence that followed Greg's exit. "Boss, what have you got for us?"

Grissom ignored Catherine's question and said, "Where's Warrick?"

"Right here." Warrick had quickened his step when he saw that the others were already in the break room. He quickly took a seat next to Nick, gave nods to him and Catherine and stared at Sara who was looking everywhere but up, greeted her with a "Hey Sar".

She looked at him then, eyes registering his presence and she smiled. She said nothing but there was a warmth in her smile that made Warrick think that her singing lightened her mood. He smiled back at her and he continued to stare at her even after she had looked away.

"Catherine, you're working with me on this baby case. Baby left inside the car, died due to intensity of heat and prolonged exposure to it inside the vehicle." Grissom started with the case assignments. "Nick and Sara, you have a DB who washed ashore", continued Grissom passing on the assignment card to Nick. "Warrick, you're on your own and you have your own DB".

Grissom had stretched out his hand to hand the assignment card to Warrick but he was still looking at Sara. "Warrick, are you with us?" Grissom inquired, looking from Warrick to Sara's bowed head. "Warrick?"

Snapping out of it, Warrick turned unfocused eyes on Grissom, saw that he was handing him something, he quickly stood halfway from his seat to grab the piece of paper. "Umm, yeah, sure I am."

Apparently that didn't suit Grissom as he still kept on staring at him and then back to Sara who now was starting to get ready to leave the break room with Nick.

Warrick stood at full length now and looked Grissom straight in the eye. "Are we done?", he asked. It came out more abruptly and curt than what he intended. Grissom raised his right eyebrow and answered "Yes, we're done."

Everybody then started moving out of the break room. Warrick caught up with Catherine who was walking towards the locker room.

"Hey Cath!", he called after her. Catherine stopped on her tracks, turned around and gave him a nod. When he reached her side, he cocked his head to the side and asked, "What was that all about in there?"

Catherine darted a look towards the break room, checking that nobody was near and said, "Which 'thing' do you mean? Greg short of asking Sara on a date and her saying yes, Grissom's foul mood, Sara's eyes everywhere except Grissom or you staring at Sara?" She had sounded just a tad jealous on the last part.

A smile started appearing on Warrick's face. "Sometime today, you'll explain the other things, but right I'll go for the Greg and Sara part."

Catherine snorted and leaned closer saying, "I don't know what's up with Sara but she came into the break room all smiles and then links her arm with Greg, thanks him for some salad he bought her yesterday. You know Greg, blushes like a schoolboy and then asks her to spend break time with him and she says yes!"

"No way!" Warrick sounded even more surprised to himself.

"Way..." Catherine continued. "So, there we were, Nick and I with our mouths open and Grissom walks in and sees the linked arms!"

"I don't need to know the rest. I can tell what Grissom did after that." Warrick said, filling in the blanks. "Maybe I can explain the whole Sara-mood though."

Catherine snickered. "You can try!"

"I will." Warrick took Catherine by the elbow and dragged her inside the locker room. "Cath, have you ever noticed Sara singing to herself or maybe hum to herself?"

"Yeah, I've heard her so many times do that. Sometimes I even catch her sing a whole line or two." Catherine said matter-of-factly. "Why?"

"I've heard her hum myself. I just never thought she had a great voice." Warrick then continued on and told Catherine the scene he had witnessed inside the bar earlier. He could tell he had Catherine's attention by the way her mouth formed a bigger "O" with surprise.

"I'm telling you Cath, she was astounding." Warrick finished his story. "Her voice captured every single person in that audience and she was so emotional."

"Wow!" Catherine said, shaking her head. "I don't even need to say who those kind of songs are for."

"You can say that again." Warrick rolled his eyes. "What's going on with those now?"

Catherine gave out another snicker. "Man, I don't know. I've tried my best to get them together. Grissom really needs to get of his ass. I can't believe he still hasn't figured this out!"

"Psh!" Warrick exclaimed. "That guy wouldn't know what to do even if Sara fell right on his lap! Anyway, Cath, you gotta come with me the next time. You have to witness this. We don't need to tell her now, but you just gotta see it. She almost made me cry!"

"Who made who cry?" Grissom interrupted their conversation from the locker room door. Warrick and Catherine snapped their heads towards him like guilty children. "Catherine, we are running late. We need to go."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll meet you outside in a few", came Catherine's answer. As soon as Grissom moved out of hearing range she looked at Warrick saying, "Okay, I'm with you. When do we go see her perform?"

"I asked the bar people before I left and they said she usually comes in on Tuesdays and Fridays. So I guess we're set for Friday."

"Okay, remind me when it's time. I need to go before Gruesome Grissom starts to ask questions. Not that he already won't, what with the whole Greg and Sara thing." She winked, grabbed her bag and hurriedly left to meet Grissom.

Warrick sighed, walked slowly out of the locker room and started reading the details of the case assigned to him.
