The last day they were in Vegas together, Warrick, Greg, Catherine, and Nick visited the gravesite. The four of them put flowers on the graves.

Catherine went over to Sara's first. She gently touched the headstone and then placed the flowers on it. Then she went to Grissom's. She knelt on the ground and put more flowers on it, then she leaned forward and kissed the stone. Tears came into her eyes as she whispered to him.

"I know that you can't hear me…but I now understand why you didn't tell me who you loved…You loved us both, and then you loved Sophia too…I found it in a notebook of yours. Everyone has something small that belonged to you…The same thing is true about Sara and Sophia's things…I wish that you would have done things differently, because life really sucks without you two…We both loved you too…"

She got up, and Warrick hugged her. Then he too put flowers on Grissom's grave; he had already put them on Sara and Sophia's graves.

"You were my mentor, I wish that things would have gone differently…"

Then he too backed away.

Greg and Nick both kissed Sara's headstone, and they both placed red roses on it. They were both tearing up.

"Sara, you know we both feel like we failed you…We both also loved you with all of our hearts…But you always loved Grissom more…" Nick started, but he totally lost control, and broke into sobs. Greg continued.

"Now you're both gone…Our mentor and our love…Our friends…I know you would want us to move on…we'll try…we're trying…" Then he too broke down. Catherine and Warrick came up behind them and they put their hands on them.

When they recovered, they placed their remaining flowers on Grissom and Sophia's graves.


Dr. Robbins retired and went into a more laid back life, writing crime novels.

David decided to become a coroner in Los Angeles, that way he could visit the gravesite if he felt like it. Eventually he found a nice woman, and they married.

Brass moved back to New Jersey, where he spent his remaining years as a police captain.

Catherine decided to work for her father. She eventually took over the ownership of the casinos once her father decided to retire. She remarried eventually; to a man who treated her and Lindsey well. Lindsey grew up, and decided to become an actress, she managed to make it onto a hit television show, and she won awards for it.

Warrick worked with Catherine, and they remained very close friends. He married one day as well.

Nick returned to Texas, where he returned to being a CSI, working in Houston. He also found a wife there.

Greg went back to New York City, where he had grown up. He worked as a CSI there for awhile, but eventually he moved to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He met a young woman there, and they married.

They all had children, and they were all successful in their careers. They never forgot how important their time in Las Vegas together was. They remained friends until they died at very old ages. They had many descendants too.

The End


On their headstones it says:

"Three comrades fell in one day. Not due to a case, but due to their own actions. Love and emotions are not meant to be played with. Three untimely deaths bear witness to this fact."

Gil Grissom: Friend and Son. He opened our minds, and made us think, he will be missed, but never forgotten. August 17, 1956-March 28, 2005.

Sara Sidle: Beloved Friend, Expectant mother. She was taken from us too soon. Her life was like none other. She was brilliant, passionate, and caring. She will always be missed, but never forgotten. September 16, 1971-March 28, 2005.

Sophia Curtis: Friend. She is gone but not forgotten. June 18, 1966- March 28, 2005.

At first faithful was going to be placed on Grissom's grave, but his unfaithfulness is what brought about all of their deaths. So they decided against it.
