Sara's POV:
I finally was allowed to check myself out of the hospital at 9 a.m. Catherine picked me up since I wasn't allowed to drive yet, and even if I had been allowed to, my car was being processed.
Caleigh was sleeping on the couch when I walked in. The title menu for the movie 28 Days was playing on the TV. I turned it off and went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Soon the smell of coffee woke Caleigh up.
"You probably shouldn't be doing that," she said.
"Doing what?" I asked.
"Making breakfast," she replied.
"Why shouldn't I be making breakfast?" I questioned.
"Sara, hello, remember your head injury," Caleigh sighed, while knocking on her head.
"I'm fine, really, I am," I lied. Truth be told my head was killing me.
"Well at least let me help you out," she requested. Soon we were sitting at the breakfast bar, eating pancakes.
Caleigh's POV:
After breakfast Lucy and I caught a bus and went to the mall. We spent some time getting our pictures taken in a photo booth before going shopping. First stop, Barnes and Nobles.
"Tell me, Caleigh, why do you always get your music here?" Lucy asked.
"This is the only place that carries the music I like at an affordable price," I replied.
"Shop online," she suggested.
"Shipping and handling. They cost almost as much as the c.d." I answered. "Jackpot!" I exclaimed when I found the new John Reuben c.d.
"Sweet," she said riffling through the "L" section. "Hey, Lucerin Blue. Don't you like them?"
"Heck yes!" I half shouted as I grabbed the c.d. out of Lucy's hands.
After I had purchase both the John Reuben and Lucerin Blue c.d. we headed to the food court. I hit Panda Express while Lucy went to Subway. When we were done at there, we headed to American Eagle to get bracelets.
"Check this one out, Caleigh," Lucy said, holding up a braided hemp bracelet.
"That's pretty cool, but I think I'm going to get this one," I responded, showing her the leather one I had found. I bought the leather bracelet and Lucy bought a couple necklaces before we headed out. Once we had hit a few more stores, we decided to call it quits.
Sara's POV:
Grissom ticked me off within five minutes of the shift starting. He refused to let me go out into the field for a few days, using my head injury as an excuse. Caleigh and I worked on a robbery case that was still open for most of the night until Grissom came back. I cornered him in his office.
"You know, Grissom, you have no right to keep me out of the field just because I hit my head," I snapped.
"Of course I have the right to, I'm your supervisor," he replied in an even tone.
"Why are you so scared to put me back in the field? I'm not a doll, you can't break me!" I exclaimed angrily.
"You're a good CSI, I don't want you to get burnt out," he answered.
"I'm not going to." I responded, irritated.
"Sara, this conversation is over," Grissom stated with a little irritation himself.
"Fine," I retorted as I stormed out of his office. Shift was over, so I grabbed the girls and left.
Caleigh jumped in the front seat, as Brooke and Lucy found a place in the back. I could feel the tension between Caleigh and Brooke.
