A/N: Here we go again, I hope everyone enjoys it! How's Greg going to get out of this one hmmm….and can Grissom and Sara resist the temptation to work? Read on and find out.

Chapter 14

"Well?" Grissom said his eyebrow still raised at him.

"Ok, well Ecklie came in a few hours before shift and handed me a huge case file. Warrick, Catherine and Nick took some Burg Fingerprint jobs and stuff of us and left Jake, Linds and me with just two Burgs and hanging and this." Greg rambled out. "Oh and the hanging had been there for about two weeks before it was discovered…"

"Lovely." Sara commented

"Yeah and how we now smell is actually a great improvement over that one." Jake put in.

"So, seen as how we'd completed everything else, thanks to the Swing guys, and were already in need of a lemon juice bath, we though it would be really great to hand Ecklie back a completed case file." Greg said.

"So," Jake continued." We're on the last case in the file, doing over time cause it really need daylight. We took a couple of hours break, and then headed out here."

"Ok, so what are you supposed to be working on? I'm pretty sure Ecklie didn't send you out here just to have a mud fight!" Grissom said.

"An anonymous informant from the public reported that they'd heard rumours of a possible body being buried at the bottom of this very muddy waterhole." Greg answered.

"And let me guess? You haven't found anything?" Sara said.

"Correct". Jake agreed, "But we can at least say we've looked. We've got one more part to process - we were just taking a break for a few minutes - care to join us?"

Sara looked like she was very tempted to say yes; until she caught the look Grissom had given her.

'Don't even think about it' He warned her in his thoughts.

"I know" She said.

"Know what?" Jake asked confused.

"He just told me that I'm on leave and not supposed to be working." Sara said.

"He didn't say a word." Jake replied.

"No, but that was what I was thinking though" Grissom said. "And Sara knows me well enough to pick up what I'm thinking from my expressions."

Greg laughed at Jake's expression after that comment.

"Work with them like I do, and you're used to half conversations." He said.

"Oh." Jake shook his head. "So I'll take that as a 'no' then?"

"Yeah," Sara sighed. "As much as I'd have loved to join in …. However I'm supposed to be having a nice relaxing picnic coming up today, and at the moment I'd rather do that than work." She paused for a moment. "Wow, I can't believe I just said that."

"Neither can I" Grissom and Greg both said in unison.

Sara gave them both her famous look and both of them laughed. Jake of course just looked confused again. Neither of them was acting like the way he had thought of Gil Grissom and Sara Sidle in his mind. It seemed completely out of there characters.

'Never mind' He though, 'I'll drill Greg once they've left.'

"Well guys, we'll leave you to it then." Grissom said. "Do make sure that you get some sleep before shift tonight ok? Are you still with Greg tonight Jake?"

"Yeah as far as I'm aware I will be" Jake replied. "But with Ecklie in charge, who can tell?"

"True." Grissom said. "I'll decide later whether you two being together is a good thing or not." he ended laughing.

"And in answer to your first question, don't worry we will." Greg said. "Have fun on your picnic."

"Thanks Greg!" Sara threw over her shoulder as Grissom and she made their way back to the walking track.

-------

"What's the deal with those two at the moment?" Jake asked Greg once they were out of ear shot.

"How much do you know?" Greg replied.

"Same as most I guess. They're friends, have been for goodness knows how long, certainly since before Sara came to Vegas cause it was Grissom who brought her out here, most people speculate that they're more than just friends, or want to be, but Grissom can't bring it past friends into the next level." Jake answered with a grin. "Am I close?"

"Right on," Greg replied. "They seem to be getting some where since her accident though. The way I see it, they're finally close to Grissom having the guts to move further…"

"From what I've heard that would be a very good thing." Jake said.

"Yeah, it would. " Greg agreed. "Well, back to it then?"

"Why not?" Jake replied as he dived back into the water.

-----

"Well done Sar, I proud of you." Grissom said as they got back to the walking track.

"Why?" Sara queried.

"Because you resisted the temptation to work." Grissom answered.

"Same could be said for you. I'm not the only workaholic on this walk at the moment." Sara countered.

"True."

"Griss?" Sara said quietly.

"Yes honey?"

"Do you mind if we just go back and have our lunch? I'm starting to feel really tired again." She said softly looking embarrassed.

"Stop felling embarrassed Sara, you're not well, it's ok to be tired. And in answer, no problem, we can definitely head back and find somewhere to have our picnic."

"Thanks." She answered quietly.

With that, he took her hand again, and they started heading back the way they had come into the track towards their vehicle.

A/N: As always, let me know what you think. And I promise the next chapter will be pure GSR fluff!
