Ecklie would not let Sara and Grissom near the crime scene. He did it personally with members the day shift. Sara knew he was taking a perverse pleasure in their situation. They had both been questioned and knew the IAB would be all over this. They had been sent back to the lab and Sara felt like a kid waiting for the principal. They were sitting in Grissom's office.

"Who was he?" Sara spoke first.

"I really think he was connected with the idea Catherine had." Grissom answered back, flipping through one of his professional magazines. She hated how he could sit here. She wanted to jump up look at the evidence being sent into the lab, question, the day shift people.

"Sara, quite fidgeting, we have to wait. You shot a man in my house. WE cannot do anything father. Anything we do will simple give Conrad more ammunition to get you fired and force me to leave." He said simply. Catherine opened the door.

"Everything is locked down, Ecklie is not letting anyone see the evidence he is really trying to use this one to get you Gil."

"I didn't do anything wrong, Sara saved my life, the evidence will show that, even Conrad's people won't corrupt the evidence, but keep close Catherine." she nodded and started to walk out, then turned.

"Has anyone called Jim and told him my idea, about the shooting?"

Grissom looked at Sara.

"Good idea, he might have some ideas?" Sara rose to call Jim, relieved to have something productive to do.

"So, you bought the house?"

"Yep." he keep his eyes on the magazine

"Did she shoot the guy before of after you told her why?" With this Catherine left.

Grissom's outer calm did not match what was going on inside. He was just as apprehensive as Sara about the investigation. HE had not shared his suspicions with anyone. While he and Sara had been separated by IAB it had occurred to him the connection of all the targets in this case. Jim, Warrick, him. Holly Gribbs. Sara had checked old cases and left a list of them on his desk. He picked up the list. They were divided into categories. Cases worked by Warrick and Brass alone. Cases in which, Warrick and Brass helped . There were only four that all three had been involved in exclusively and Holly's was the only one that had been settled unsatisfactory for all parties involved. He, Brass and Warrick had contributed to her death in a direct manner.

Sara appeared at the door.

"Grab your coat. We are going to the hospital"

"What do you know about me?" she challenged

"I know it's been along time since you've had a man in your bed" she blushed. He liked that.

"How could you know that?" really wondering.

"You closed the curtains and turned off the lights. You pulled on a robe when you got out of bed. Don't tell me it was shyness or modesty. When we got gong there was nothing shy or modest about you. I just don't think you have been used to an man seeing your body in a while. It is great by the way."

"Thanks, I try. You're right its been a while."

"Lucky me." Jim smiled and reached across the table to stroke her hand. She took their barely touched bowls to the sink.

His phone began to ring . He looked at the caller id. It was Sara. He listened for a long lime with out talking.

"You gotta be kidding. No I don't think, hold on maybe." he covered the mouthpiece. He looked at Holly considering how to choose his words.

"How much trouble could you get in if I needed to see a suspect that was a patient at the hospital?" she looked at him confused .

"Sara meet me at the hospital parking lot look for my car Dr. Waterhouse's parking spot" he hung up the phone.

"Grab a coat, I'll explain on the was" he said as he headed for the door.
