Okay, well I finally got another chapter posted the other day and I'm so
sorry for the delay. I writers block for a couple days and then the day I
think I might be ready to write, my Dad says he wants to get more Mb for
the computer before it's too late to upgrade, so we left it at the store
and they ended up screwing everything up, but now I'm back and ready to run
with this. Okay! On with the show.......
CSI HAWAIIAN VACATION
Chapter 8
"Hey, guys we need to get our stuff and get out of here, I don't want to be another hour, it's almost midnight." Catherine stated looking wearily over the group pausing her sights on Sara and Grissom who had been turned facing each other for more than what was usual.
She smiled and called out, "Hey, love birds, stop staring, time to go."
Grissom suddenly blinked and shook his head and looked at Catherine and gave her a dirty look.
"Lets go!" Greg yelled, grabbing his overnight bag and heading towards the baggage check.
Catherine and the group followed, dragging, evidently tired out.
Sara sighed and focused her eyes on the ground as she walked.
~I am so shocked, I don't know what to think, he hasn't said something like that in forever. Oh, stop it Sara, your just opening your heart to let him pull it out and stomp on it again, be strong, don't let him in, you'll only get hurt!~
She turned her head sideways and looked at Grissom who stared straight ahead with a detached look on his face.
~Well he must regret what he said to me a minute ago, he's probably thinking it was a completely idiotic mistake.~
They reached the conveyor belt and stood around it in a group waiting for their bags to appear.
Sara pushed the strap of her overnight up again as it was slipping.
Greg smiled, "Need to help with that Sara?"
Sara turned and glared at him then broke out into a small smile, "No thanks Greg, I can handle it."
Greg grinned, "Oh so now your going to be nice to me? Well let me know when your gonna start being mean to me again so I can brace myself for impact."
Sara looked at him a moment then frowned, "Oh Greg, I'm sorry, I promise I'll try to be nice from now on, I do need to lighten up a bit."
Catherine exchanged glances with Warrick and Nick who shrugged and said, "Why the sudden change Sara?"
Just then their bags came rolling around to them and they all forgot the last question and giddily picked up their bags and headed towards the car rental office.
"Okay, you all stay out here. Gris and I will go in and get the car so we can get out of here."
Everyone smiled and nodded their heads in agreement.
As Catherine walked in ahead of Grissom, Greg yelled, "See if you can get a convertible!"
Sara and Nick frowned at him.
"Greggo, it's the rainy season, might not be a good idea for a convertible." Sara said, leaning back on the bench next to him, closing her eyes.
"Well, Sar, that's what a top is for."
Nick quickly spoke up, "Yes but, I don't think all six of us will fit in a tiny convertible."
"Which is why we're getting two cars." Greg quickly interjected.
"Hey guys, can we stop fighting for now, I am tired and I don't know why, but I would like to rest a little before the world starts spinning again." Sara said, eyes still closed her hand on her head.
"Something wrong Sara?" Nick asked, turning in her direction, a concerned look on his face.
"No, no I'm fine Nicky, just a little tired. I don't know why, I mean, we'd be in the middle of shift right now if we were back in Vegas."
Nick smiled. "Travel does that to you, no matter how used you are to not sleeping."
Sara coughed a laugh. "Yeah, okay Nicky, whatever you say."
Just then Cath and Grissom came out the door, Catherine was holding the keys.
"Okay guys, because we got here on a late flight, they only had a few cars left, convertibles."
Greg smiled. "Great!"
"Yes, but the fee for them is outrageous so we were only able to get one....for now, so, tonight someone's going to be double buckling."
Grissom stood behind her a bored look on his face, trying to figure out how this would work.
"I think Sara should double buckle, she's the skinniest here." Greg said, smiling.
"Thanks Greg, and let me guess, you're the one who wants to double buckle right?"
Greg smiled. "Well what do you say Sara my sweet, wanna share a seat with me?"
Sara sighed, "You know what, I really don't care, I'm tired I just wanna get to the house and take a nap."
"It's settled then, we'll go to the house, and tomorrow morning one of us will come and see if they got any different rental cars for us to use and we can trade this one in."
Nick, Sara, and Greg stood and joined Catherine and Grissom as they walked out to the rental car parking lot.
"Okay, we've got the only midnight blue convertible." Catherine said, reading of the small paper.
She smiled at Grissom and handed him the keys. "Drive please, I'm tried, you and Sara are the only ones who took naps on the plane."
Grissom sighed. He was wide awake, ready to do something, he felt like he should be filling out paper work.
~Disgusting what doing that over and over again will do to your mind.~
He took the keys as they reached the car and they all tried piling their suitcases in the trunk, but of course two of the bags wouldn't fit.
"Okay, Sara and Greg in the front, holding one of these puppies. Warrick, Nick and I sit in the back holding this one."
They all sighed and got to work. Sara got in first in the passenger seat and Greg soon followed, Grissom held the suitcase as Greg handed the seat belt to Sara and she pushed it into the lock. He then handed the case to Greg. Greg smiled and moved it over slightly, so it'd be sitting on his and Sara's lap.
"We're good and ready to go captain." Greg said, giving Grissom a thumbs up.
Grissom smiled and shut the door and handed the case to Warrick, who was already sitting and he pushed it over more onto Nick's lap, as Catherine got it on the other side and buckled her belt.
"Heavy guys? You can push it over more on me."
Nick smiled, "We're fine Cath don't worry about it."
Catherine smiled and said, "Okay, do you want me to read the directions as we go or what?"
Grissom buckled his belt and looked in the rear view mirror at her.
"Actually, let me read them first and then since Sara's right here, I'll have her point me the right way."
He looked over at Sara and smiled softly.
~Trusting tonight are we?~ Sara thought, scrounging up a small smile.
"Yeah, okay, I can give you directions." She said, covering her mouth after a yawn.
Catherine smiled. She reached into her bag and pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Grissom, who took it and immediately started reading it.
After a moment he smiled and handed the paper to Sara, ever so slightly brushing her fingers along her fingertips.
Sara blushed and looked straight at the paper.
~Okay, calm down, stop acting like an idiot, it wasn't intentional.~
Catherine smiled as did Warrick and Nick. They all exchanged glances.
Nick moved slightly and whispered in Catherine's ear. "I have a good feeling about them on this trip."
Catherine looked at him. "Duh!"
Grissom started the car and pulled out of the parking lot, taking them to the home they'd all be sharing for a month.
