Hey everyone! First off, I'd like to apologize to anyone whom I may have
hurt, while my mentioning a review I received. It was not my intention to
single anyone out and be angry with them for giving me tips. I enjoy very
much receiving criticism of any type about my stories whether they be good
or bad and appreciate it because I like to make sure I'm making the story
seem realistic. So once again I apologize and hope you can forgive, because
I hate to have anyone mad at me, though sometimes that's impossible, I
still try to work things out. Anyways.....I'm sorry for the delay in this
chapter, I would have written it sooner, it's just that once I get home and
do other things I need to do and then start homework, by the time I'm
finished it's way past my time to go to sleep. I've had ideas for two days
on this and hope it flows smoothly and I will try to write more later today
or tomorrow. Also, I seem to be having a great problem in describing the
house, so sorry if it doesn't make sense, but I've just made my own
(crappy) version of house plans, and I'll try to upload them so you can
look. If I'm not able to, e-mail me at Serenity153@hotmail.com and I will
email them to you if you really want to know what the house kinda looks
like. Bye!(

Chapter 9
"Grissom are you sure you followed the directions correctly?"
Catherine mused, as she looked in awe at the large, beautiful home before them.
"Yes, I did everything that was written on that paper.....now unless you wrote down the directions incorrectly..."
"No I'm sure they're correct, I wrote down exactly what Darrin said."
Sara sighed and moved back over to the car and sat on the hood, covering her mouth, trying to stifle a yawn.
"Well guys we better make up our minds on what we're gonna do because if this isn't the house and this belongs to someone else, we're trespassing and it's about 12:30 in the morning and someone could call the police." Warrick said, looking around the group to see if anyone agreed.
"How about you try the key and if it unlocks then it must mean this is it." Sara said quietly closing her eyes, rolling her head back then looking back at the group.
Grissom smiled, "I agree, Catherine, give me the key and I'll try it."
Catherine smiled, "Now why couldn't I figure that out? Guess I just wasn't thinking."
Sara snorted a laugh and said quietly to herself, "Apparently." As she followed behind the group up onto the large porch.
~Stop it now, don't get bitchy, your tired, but that's no excuse to start problems, especially this early on.~
Everyone stood around as Grissom pushed the key into the lock, turned it, then turned the knob and opened the door. The door fell open soundlessly and everyone smiled.
"It reminds me of The Glass House." Sara said, looking around.
"What?" Nick said, turning towards her.
"That movie The Glass House....this reminds me of it, just that this has a porch and it's a lot bigger."
Nick turned and looked at the group, who shrugged their shoulders and waited as Gris felt around inside and flipped a light switch.
The entry lit up and they all walked in, Sara being in last, shutting the door behind her.
The entry opened up into a large living room and to their right was a large modernized kitchen.
Sara leaned against the wall and took in the two rooms. The kitchen was all marble counter tops, and everything was either made of silver or made of glass, including appliances, the cabinetry was a shiny painted dark blue.
~Reminds me of Grissom's eyes.~ She thought surveying the room.
The living room was large and spacious, the back wall was all glass, with long white shades falling to the floor, and in the middle were two glass doors that led out onto a deck.
"Hey guys, can we just get our rooms first, I'm tired and I want a nap." Sara said, as everyone quietly looked around the room.
"Why are you so tired Sara?" Catherine asked, looking at her concernedly.
"Yeah, I thought you never slept." Grissom said, turning around to look at her.
"I don't know, guess my lack of sleep from the past couple of months is catching up on me since my mind now knows it's on vacation." Sara said sighing and leaning against the wall.
"Yes, because you work so late, when you should go home and rest, if I rightly recall, this is your first vacation since earlier this year." Grissom said, eyeing her.
Catherine sighed and smiled, "Right....okay, lets get rooms designated. Two volunteers please?"
Greg and Nick exchanged glances, "We'll go." They said in unison, already knowing what Catherine wanted.
Everyone moved over to the living room and sat down waiting patiently for the boys to come back.
Finally they heard them talking as they rushed down the stairs.
"Okay, we've counted three bedrooms, two of them are Master suites the last one a regular bedroom with two separate twin beds."
Nick smirked, "And I'm hoping I'm not the lucky SOB who gets one of those beds."
Catherine smiled, "Okay then, someone find me a few pieces of paper and a pen."
"Why?" Sara asked, picking up a pillow and hugging it to her chest.
"The first three people's name's I call out are the ones who make sure whatever room they get with their partner is clean every time they leave it. The second group are the people who will be sharing rooms with them and the third is what room they get. "
Sara shook her head, "Okay never mind I asked, can we just get on with it?"
Catherine sighed, "Paper, pen, please!"
Nick walked over to the kitchen and went in the archway. He appeared a minute later, paper and pen in hand.
Catherine ripped up tiny pieces and put names on them,
"Someone give me something to put these in."
Everyone looked around and Sara smiled when she saw an empty fish bowl sitting on a shelf with some dark colored rocks in it.
"Nick grab that." Sara said, pointing at the shelf.
Nick walked over, picked it up, grabbed the handful of rocks out and set them on the glass coffee table and handed it to Catherine.
"Okay" She said as she dropped the papers in, covered the top and shook it really hard.
"Okay, first name, Grissom."
Everyone looked at Grissom and he nodded his head as Catherine pulled out another paper.
"Greg."
He smiled and said, "Whatever room we get will be spotless, whomever my partner will be." He smiled and looked at Sara who rolled her eyes and looked back as Catherine pulled out another name and smiled.
"Me"
"Okay, now Grissom, Greg, and I will pull out names and whomever you are, you are sharing a room with us, I don't care what you say, we are who your with for the rest of the trip."
Nick, Warrick, and Sara sighed, waiting to see who'd they get paired with.
~I could imagine the look on Grissom's face if he pulled my name out, he'd probably be horrified.~ Sara thought as she watched Catherine pull out a piece of paper.
She smiled and looked up at Warrick. "Guess who I'm with?"
Warrick laughed and said, "This should be fun."
Nick shuddered and Grissom shook his head as he hesitantly reached into the bowl.
~If I pull her name, I don't know what I'm going to do, I don't want to hurt her so I have to be careful of my reaction.~
He pulled out a paper and slowly opened it.
His heart froze as he suddenly looked up and over at Sara, who looked down, blushing.
"Oooh, I can only wonder what's gonna happen by the end of this trip." Catherine said as she looked back and forth between Grissom and Sara.
Nick smiled at Warrick and Warrick coughed to cover a laugh.
"Okay guys, give it up, it's not that big a deal." Grissom said, looking at Sara, who looked the other way.
"Well I know who I'm with." Greg said laughing at Nick who sat with his head down.
"This is a joke, I'm not getting a vacation out of this, I'm getting a toddler."
"We always knew you could be good with kids." Catherine said smiling.
"Okay, now......" Catherine wrote, Suite 1, Suite 2, and Bedroom on three more sheets of paper and looked at Sara, Nick, and Warrick.
"Sara you go first, pick your room." Catherine said, smiling at Grissom.
~Please let us get the bedroom, I don't think I could handle sharing a bed with Sara, not now.~ Grissom thought, scratching the back of his neck.
Sara pulled out the paper and unfolded it, her eyes blinking a couple times. "Suit 1"
"Okay you guys got the only room downstairs, right behind you, so Sara once we get everything inside you can go to bed."
~Though I doubt you'll be able to sleep now.~ Catherine thought smirking.
~Oh my gosh, this is crazy.....what am I going to do, I'll....no we'll probably drive each other crazy, I'll start over talking him and......"
"Nick you pick now." Catherine said smiling, breaking into Sara's thoughts.
Nick reached into the bowl and picked up one of the papers, unfolded it and growled.
"Oh dammit Nick you picked the freakin Bedroom!" Greg said, whining.
Catherine smiled at Warrick. "Good we got the 2nd Suite."
Catherine stood and said, "Now, everyone head outside to get your stuff and put it in your rooms, and then you can head off to bed with your Bed Buddies."
Sara looked up at her, eyes wide as Warrick broke out into laughter. Catherine stood with her arms crossed, trying to keep from laughing and finally let herself go and laughed along.
Grissom and Sara exchanged quick glances, both blushing as they looked away and Nick gave Greg the death stare.
"Okay come on guys, stop acting like idiots and come get your stuff." Catherine said, heading out the door, everyone standing and following closely behind.
Nick turned to Greg and said, "You....stay away from me, I don't want to find you hovering over me in the middle of the night conducting some retard experiment."
Greg smiled, "What you think I'm Grissom now?"
