Author's Note: Thanks for reading and reviewing. Sorry about making ya'll wait for that. No worry everything with Sara will be fine, or will it: Laughs evilly : This chapter will be a good one, I promise. I'll try not to make it angst-y.

Sidle Chick - I left you a response at the bottom; you'll see why when you get there.

CherryDrops12 - Boxers? I never said he was wearing boxers. Te-he-he-he. I left what type of underwear he was wearing up to the people reading to decide in their mind. I decided to envision him in sexy, tight, briefs. And, no they never were fully undressed so they didn't 'do it'.

Hopeless-Savage - I know, Nick really does need to learn to control himself but, it was a mistake for both of them. No problem about the review responses. : ) Actually there is a chapter coming up that I think is much better than that one but, that's just my opinion.

"Something happened between you and Sara and she's obviously feeling guilty about it. She's also avoiding you." Catherine said.

"Look nothing happened." Nick said, refusing to say a word.

"Nicky, just admit that something did happen and I won't ask any more of you" Catherine persisted.

"No, I'm not saying a word."

He knew wouldn't be able to hold it any longer so he just left. Catherine knew something had to be up; they had to have done something Sara would feel guilty about while they were gone.

"I'll get to the bottom of this" Catherine said to herself.

"Get to the bottom of what; Willows?" Ecklie said.

"Something going on with Greg"

She lied knowing Ecklie would definitely get into this she didn't want anything exposed to everyone that didn't need to be.

"Why do you care about Sanders? He's just a lab tech" Ecklie said in a harsh; cold tone.

"He's more than that."

"Oh, yea, and what would that be?"

"He's a person, a good person and a good friend."

Ecklie opened his mouth but, couldn't find words to say.

"That's why you don't have friends, Ecklie, you don't care about anyone but, yourself and how you look."

"I do too have friends. Lots of people like me."

"Name three people here who like you and I'll believe you."

He couldn't even name one, which made him angry with Catherine mostly because she caught his bluff and proved that no one really liked him; some were just too afraid to stand up to his crap.

"That's disrespectful." Ecklie said.

"How so?"

He really didn't like this, she was winning and he couldn't handle it.

"You're insulting me."

"Wow, you actually have feelings for me to hurt."

"It was an insult; I never said it hurt my feelings."

With that Ecklie walked away from a smirking Catherine. Just then she got an idea; earlier she'd seen Sara talking with Greg, maybe she told him something. Catherine strolled on over to the break room where Greg had just made coffee and helped herself to a cup.

"Hey Catherine! Watch it that's my coffee." Greg said, raising his voice a bit.

"Greg, chill its just one cup just let me have it I don't want to wait for some more to brew." Catherine said.

"Fine but, don't make it a habit. Now what did you come in here for?"

"To talk to you."

"That'd be the second person today to want to talk to me. Wow, I feel special."

"That's because you are, Greg. Now, did you talk to Sara?"

"Yeah, but, I'm not saying about what."

"Just tell me, was it about Nick?"

"That's privileged information that's not for your ears."

"Come on Greg I just need to know, it's not like I'm going to go tell some one or anything."

"Look Sara has dirt on me too I can't say anything."

"Well at least now I know that it's "dirt". I guess that's a start" Catherine said as she walked off.

Greg could just beat himself up for letting that slip though he didn't say any but 'she has dirt on me too'. If he hadn't of said 'too' she wouldn't have known but, probably would have kept hammering and worse could have slipped. He wouldn't want Catherine to know what he'd said about her though, he didn't mean it anymore he still had said it to Sara.

"Grissom?" Sara said quietly.

"Yes, sweetheart…" He replied looking into her troubled chocolate eyes.

"We need to talk about something."

"Sara, can this wait? I'm really busy with paperwork Ecklie has been hounding me to get done and it's due before I leave or I have to answer to Ecklie which always means unpaid leave."

"Well I need to you before we go back to work tonight."

"It's about work?"

"Yea"

"Involving you?"

"Yea"

"Is it something you did?"

"In a way"

"We'll talk about it when we get home." He said and kissed her lightly on the cheek

"Bye Grissom." She said, feeling disappointed and terrible

'That went well. I hope he doesn't hate me for this but, I can't keep secrets from him and he'd know eventually.' Sara thought. Sara was feeling quite nervous. She'd left work an hour ago but, still wasn't home. She couldn't face it so she went to the park to think it out. It was what she usually did when something was troubling her. It was something about how quiet it was at night and how the stars shined so bright and perfect, it was something about how the cool breeze blew her hair back.

That swing; she'd loved that swing since she could ever remember. School life was hard for her so instead of taking her hour lunch break and all the other social times they were given she just went and started class early and took a break once in the middle of the day, which was two hours long, and came to the park. She mostly came to be with herself and to just feel peaceful, happy and content. On days that were hard she came and just sulked, sometimes she cried others she just thought.

Looking down she saw a bit of blood and winced. Blood shouldn't get to her like this she'd seen the worst of the worst, the grossest of the grossest. This one brought back painful memories of being a teenager. It was an especially hard day, her long time boyfriend, of three years, dumped her because she wasn't what he wanted anymore; though she knew it was just a cop out. On top of that she'd forgotten her homework and got a zero on a fairly major grade, she'd been teased all day about her hair, her clothes, and her teeth. It wasn't that her teeth were that bad, it was the braces she had on, they look odd to people so they pointed it out and in a not so kind manner. Then she'd found out her best friend had backstabbed her and spilled most of the secrets she had told her.

She couldn't take it anymore, when she got to the park it was already evening and no one in sight. She pulled out a sharp razor blade and hacked away. Luckily she had rags and a few bandages. The dusty beige soil had turned a burgundy color mixed with a pool of dried blood and tears. That had been one of the worst days she'd gone through as a teenager.

Then she felt a hand on her shoulder and as she turned around he sat beside her on the closest swing to hers. He held her hand gently and wiped away her tears. She couldn't take it, he'd loved her so much and she'd loved him just as much but, she'd betrayed him and he definitely didn't deserve that; not after all he'd done for her.

"Sara, about work, what did you want to talk to me about?" Grissom said calmly

"Before I say anything I just want to tell you I'm sorry."

"It's okay Sara, I love you and I'll forgive you."

"Nick and I have been working this case about a boy who was kidnapped and killed; we got an address of where he used to live and went to go talk to the mother and grandmother. After talking with them for a while we were getting hungry so we decided to go to this little breakfast diner a few miles from where we were. While we were there it started pouring rain and I had to take a detour, I looked down and saw a few shards of glass and a nail so I swerved and when I did that my SUV got stuck in the mud."

A single tear floated down from Sara's eye and fell down onto her lap.

"Sara, it's going to be okay. I promise you." His voice was very reassuring to her which encouraged her to continue.

"We called Warrick and he couldn't get there for a few hours so Nick crawled into the back and I went back there too so it'd be more comfortable and warm." Sara paused for a moment trying to speak through her sobs, if it hadn't of been for Grissom coming over and giving her a peck on the lips she'd of stopped.

"He-he pinned me down against the seat and we-we…we made out and he took off his shirt and pants and we did this until Warrick got there." Sara was now uncontrollably sobbing.

"Sara, look, I respect that you came to me and told me, most people wouldn't have done that. It's okay, you don't need me griping at you about it and fighting with you for it, you've already been through enough. Why don't we go home and curl up on the couch and watch old horror movies?" Grissom said holding her with one arm and wiping away her tears with his other hand.

"Okay but, I thought you didn't like horror movies."

"But, I like change."

The real reason for it was to hold Sara in his arms and comfort her. The whole ride home she cried, it was hard to tell whether she was happy or sad. It wasn't loud tears and sobbing it was a somber stream of water flowing steadily from her eyes. Her t-shirt was now soaked and her eyes bloodshot.

"Sara, I forgive you; in fact I was never mad at you." He said stroking her face in his driveway.

He helped her in the house and made her a cup of coffee while she changed. He also made caramel popcorn and chex mix. They were her favorite snacks; he knew that because, he'd seen her make some for Lindsey and heard her say they were her favorites. It was only two o'clock but, they treated it as night time, turning off all the lights and in pajamas. She would have been just waking up by now but, she'd slept in her car so she wasn't tired.

"That's one of my favorites." Sara said seeing the DVD box.

"The Shining?" He asked.

"Yea, I'd always loved it."

"It's probably m favorite horror movie."

Throughout the movie they did more kissing than watching but, they'd seen this movie several times, though not together until that afternoon. Then she crawled on top of him and laid down still lip locking.

"It's time to get ready for work, will continue this when we return." Grissom said looking at the clock seeing that they only had forty-five minutes until work and it took nearly twenty to drive there, depending on traffic.

The movie had long been over but, they had still been having their fun. When Sara walked in Greg was shocked, she looked excited and like she had just had some real fun but, that wasn't the type of thing Sara did and especially the way things went last night.

"Hey Sara" Greg piped up.

"Can we talk in the break room?" he added, being the curious guy he was he need to know some things.

"For some one who was so furious earlier today what happened?" He asked once they were away from everyone.

"Well I told him and he didn't even need to forgive me; he said that he wasn't mad because I confronted him right away."

"Well its looks like ya'll did more than just make up looks like you guys…"

"Greg" Sara interrupted "Would you give up this little fantasy of yours that every time I'm happy I just got laid or laid some one?"

"Okay, okay. I'm just making observations."

"Well make them elsewhere."

Just then Nick came in, from the look on his face he needed to talk to Sara.

"I'll leave you two alone." Greg said quietly, normally he would have said something about leaving them alone but, he knew that this was serious.

Sorry about that little cliffhanger. : ) I'm terrible I know.

SidleChick – I know you didn't want Grissom to know but, he wasn't too crushed. He's understanding guy, he's seen a lot and he saw how upset she was. In fact she was way more upset than he even thought to be. Trust me, things are about to get crazy within the next seven or so chapters.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to tell me what you thought. : )
