"Sara, I need to speak with you!" Ecklie's unbelievingly annoying voice rang in Sara's ear as he called to her when she tried to slip by him without him wanting to bite her head off.

Damn! She thought to herself. Why can't he just leave me alone?

She turned around, painted on a fake smile and greeted Ecklie. "What do you want?" Sara said not at all trying to hide her irritation. Oh how she loved to piss him off.

"I thought you were taking some time off," he said. He also was clearly showing his irritation. That didn't matter to Sara though. "Well, I guess I'm not. Do you have a problem with that?" She glared at him.

Beep, beep, beep.

Sara's pager went off breaking the silence in Ecklie's office.

Grissom 911.

"If you'll excuse me I have a crime scene to get to," she said. She turned around and starting walking to the door when she decided to say more to Conrad Ecklie. "Can I ask you a question, Ecklie?" Sara asked.

Ooh, this is going to get good.

"Why are you such a prick? What did I ever do to you?" There was a pause for a second when she realized why. "I know why. I know why you ride me so hard…" her voice was getting louder by the second. "…you don't like me because I wouldn't sleep with you. When you tried to hit on me I turned you down. And now you don't like me. Am I right?" Ecklie could do nothing more than sit in his leather chair behind his desk with his jaw literally sitting on the top of his desk. She let that hang for a beat and left his office.

"Ass hole!" Sara mumbled as she went to find a quite place to call Grissom. Greg, Nick and Warrick had been walking by Ecklie's office when they heard Sara's insult. "Nice one," Greg said giving Sara a high five. "By the way, would be sleep with me if I asked you?"

"No," She replied while a little smirk appeared on her face.

She went into the locker room and sat on a bench. "Is there something you need?" Sara asked. She was not trying to hide her irritation with Grissom either.

Sara breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Catherine was on the case with them. There was no way in hell Sara would be able to work with Grissom alone.

"So what happened?" She said as she got her kit out of the back seat of her car. "We've got a female DB in the kitchen, appears to have been stabbed to death. Catherine you take the perimeter, Sara and I have the kitchen," Catherine looked at Sara, sympathy in her eyes. Sara looked back at her helplessly.

"So, how are you?" Grissom asked trying to start a civil conversation with Sara. One false move could result in death. "I'm quite alright," Sara said trying to turn around and strangle Grissom. She was still in love with him, but there was no way she was going to be able to deal with him. "Hey, I think I found our murder weapon," Sara said picking up a butcher knife. Grissom came over and looked at the evidence

And for just a moment everything seemed to be back to normal.

A/N: Sorry about my last chapter, I know it sucked. I hope this one is good.
