Disclaimer: I really, really don't own CSI, but I wish I did………

Time to meet my friends.

As soon as the group had entered the house and set their bags down in the hall, Sara looked around in surprise, "I thought that Kez was home today, Nick?" she said.

"She is, I mean she was here when we left," he answered puzzled.

"At last you're back" said a voice from the top of the stairs.

"Hi Karen" said Grissom with a genuine smile on his face.

"Ohmigod, hi, it's so good to see you again" said Karen running down the stairs and giving her friend a hug.

"Guys this is Karen Blackstone, the other person who lives in this house," said Sara smiling at the two friends hugging, "Kez is the coroner at the lab and Nicky's girlfriend."

"Girlfriend?" said Catherine and Warrick together, Nick just smiled.

After the introductions had been made and everyone had dumped their stuff in their rooms Sara announced that now they were going sightseeing. When everyone had gotten their bags and hats they decided that for the time that they were in San Francisco the girls plus Greg would go in Sara's car and everyone else would go in Nick's car.

The first place they went was the crime lab because the Las Vegas travellers wanted to see how different the two labs were. The difference was clear as so as they stepped inside the building, the San Francisco lab was brighter, more laid back and it seemed that even though it was a government building there were no big politics worrying this place, no one kissing up to people or taking credit for team discoveries. Sara gave them the grand tour and everything was pretty much the same then Sara led them into the break room. The break room was larger that the one in Las Vegas with hundreds of small plant scattered around the room, there were four skylights and a set of French doors leading out onto a large balcony. "You guys just make yourself comfortable while I get something from my office," Sara said while walking towards the French doors.

"I'll come with you Sara," said Grissom following her, "I want to borrow a book from you." So Sara and Grissom left the room and while they were walking across the balcony silently, Grissom broke the silence unexpectedly with "are you going to Ben's funeral?"

He expected Sara to say yes immediately but it was nearly three minutes later when she answered probably. They entered Sara's office where she quickly grabbed up her laptop bag, a walkman, and three or four CD's, while she was doing this Grissom was scanning her bookshelves, he quickly grabbed one of the books off the shelf and asked Sara if she was ready. As they left the office they were bombarded with Catherine, Warrick and Greg, saying that there were some people to see both of them. Sara and Grissom exchanged looks and hurried to the break room where they were met by a Mrs. Thompson. "Hello Mrs. Thompson" Sara said politely but her friends quickly realised that she was being sarcastic.

"Hello Sunny" Mrs. Thompson replied using Sara's pet name.

"Don't call me that," Sara said testily, "You have no right to."

Mrs. Thompson ignored her comment and went on to say, "Are you coming to Ben's funeral?"

Sara didn't answer but quickly excused herself and left the room, Grissom followed knowing what was about to happen, Five minutes later the rest of the group came outside, spotted the two CSI's and quickly walked over to them. The first things they saw were that Sara had been crying and that Grissom had his arms around Sara. "Come on Sara," Grissom whispered, "lets go home, we'll finish sightseeing tomorrow."

Sara nodded and Grissom gently took her keys out of her hand and helped her up.

"I'll go with Nick and you drive Sara's car, ok?" said Kez to Grissom. He nodded and got into the car.
