Author's Note: This chapter is kind of funny. It's way shorter than most of the others too. But, what I really need to tell you guys. I'm going to post chapter 26 tonight because that chapter is very, very good. I'll tell you one thing about it though, you're going to hate the cliffhanger.

Sidle Chick - I'm in school so, yea, I've got to get up early. I, too, liked that part where they fought for the keys.

cherrydrops12 - Pizza? Glasses? Fun.

Hopeless-Savage - I'll probably write it in when he talks about it. Which will be in the next story.

jtbwriter - Grissom has been amazing throughout the whole story and will continue to be.


When they arrived the place felt eerie and quiet; which, even for them, this was quite unusual.

"It feels weird here." Sara said while observing her surroundings.

"Yea, I definitely feel something odd around here." Grissom said moving in closer to Sara.

Then a familiar face appeared; it was Brass.

"Hotel maid found her."

"Ah, the 'Murder Central Carver' is back" Sara said.

"You have a name for the person?" Grissom asked.

"Well it's an easy way to identify the same MO we keep seeing."

"True" Grissom said.

"Murder Central?" a confused Brass questioned.

"It's the last hotel room on a floor nearest to the stairwell; it's an easy entry and exit for an intruder. If their victim fights back they have a 50 percent less chance of some one hearing it." Sara said smiling at Grissom.

"When I asked you if you taped recorded everything I said I was kidding but, now I think you do." He said back smiling just as much.

They'd been processing for three hours when Grissom noticed Sara.

"Sara, are you not feeling well?" He said, totally forgetting that pregnant women get morning sickness.

"Morning sickness" she said grabbing her stomach and running out of the crime scene.

"Wow, it's not like you to get sick at a crime scene." Brass said leaving from interviewing the hotel maid who found her.

"It didn't gross me out" Sara said.

"Then what is it? Wait…" Brass said looking at Grissom who was watching Sara attentively

"you're…no way." Brass said, while Sara nodded.

"Ms. Sidle, pregnant; by Grissom" Sara nodded again and ran off in search of the nearest restroom.

"Hello; are you a CSI on the case?" a reporter asked.

"How'd you get in here?" Sara asked; irritated.

"The hotel manager let us in."

"What can you tell us about the body so far?" the reporter asked blocking her from going inside the restroom.

'Oh great, not only is the press down my throat; I can't get into the restroom, I'm nauseas, and I'm going to lose it if I don't get into that bathroom quick. Not to mention that if I don't; me puking will be on TV; pleasant'

"That she's dead."

"Anything else, any possible suspects? Is the stab murderer back and at large?"

"I don't have anymore information, now if you'll excuse me." Sara said trying to push through them.

"Was the victim stabbed?" Another reporter asked.

Sara couldn't even say anything before her worst fears, at the moment, became a reality. Within an hour Sara and Grissom were back at the lab.

"Has stab murderer stuck again?" A new anchor reported.

"Oh, joy they're showing probably going to show my encounter with the paparazzi." Sara said cynically.

"Here's a report from the hotel in which it all happened." The anchor said before they showed the footage.

"Hi, I'm Linda Owens. This is a special news report."

"It looks like utter chaos took place here; could it be the work of a serial killer? Let's find out."

"Hello; are you a CSI on the case?"

"How'd you get in here?" Sara asked.

"The hotel manager let us in." Linda said.

"What can you tell about the body so far?"

"That she's dead." Sara said.

"Nice TV personality you have there" Grissom said to Sara.

"Anything else, any possible suspects? Is the stab murderer back and at large?" The reporter inquired.

"I don't have anymore information, now if you'll excuse me." Sara said.

Then, not much to her surprise, they showed her throwing up.

"Must be a gruesome killing…" The news anchor added.

"The second there's more news we'll broadcast it to you." She added in conclusion.

Sara looked quite embarrassed.

"Morning sickness at it's worst." Catherine said walking in.

"So you saw it too?" Sara asked.

"Who didn't, every station is playing that report and they're playing it in full." Catherine said

"Well, isn't that just peachy?" Sara said in a sarcastic tone.

"Case too gruesome for you?" Ecklie said walking in; he knew what it really was but, he liked to tick people off.

"Ecklie, you know why I got sick and so does everyone else here so, don't play that little game." Sara said.

Sara walked out and went into Catherine's office even though Catherine wasn't there. She looked around and sat down in a chair.

"Hi Sara" some one said.

Sara turned around and looked; it was Lindsey.

"What are you doing here, Ms. Lindsey?" Sara asked.

"I walked from the park; I had today off from school." Lindsey said.

"Do you want to go hang out with Greg?" Sara said.

"Yea" Lindsey replied grabbing on to Sara's hand.
