Sara sat down in one of the chairs across the desk from Grissom. Grissom was nervous. He didn't want to lose this chance. But the thing that made him more nervous was that Sara was not too happy with him these days and avoided talking to him.
"Sara" Grissom started "I was asked to go to this CSI banquet.
"Oh that sounds cool" "Where is it at" Sara just played along. She wanted to see where Grissom was heading to before she came clean about knowing about the banquet already.
"It is in Los Angeles" "The thing that I want to ask you is" " They said I could bring a guest and I wondered if you would like to go with me"
Sara just sat there trying to take in everything. The guy, who she has liked for so long but has ignored her and didn't want to be involved with her because he was too involved with his job, wanted her to fly with her to Los Angeles and be his date to a CSI banquet. She didn't know what to think. She gave him a chance and she gave him a second chance but he missed out on both of those and she moved on. Now she didn't know what to do.
The only words that she could think of were "Grissom, let me think about it and I'll tell you later."
Grissom could only say was "Take your time"
Sara got up and left Grissom's office. She didn't know what to do. Then she figured out what she should do..She needed to talk to someone…She knew exactly who…Catherine. She decided she needed to take a break all of this was too much for her. Then she realized she left Nick in the lab with Greg all this time. She got up and went to the lab and found Nick standing and talking to Greg.
"Hi guys" Sara said with a big smile
"How did your meeting with Grissom go?" Nick said with a grin
"Fine, how is with the knife?" Sara said trying to get the attention away from her.
"It should be done in a little bit," Greg said before Nick could respond
"Good" Sara said
"So what did you guys do?" Sara said wondering what they did while she was with Grissom
"Oh nothing, just talked about guy things," Greg said with a wink
"Here it is the results right now" Greg said as he grabbed the results out of the printer. "The blood found on the son's knife is a match to the blood of the mother."
"So the son killed the mother" Nick said confirming everything
"Yeah" Sara said
"Thanks Greg" Sara said as she turned to leave. "Oh Nick, I didn't forget about your question." In her mind she didn't know what to do. Nick or Grissom. She didn't want to take to long and make either of them think that she didn't want to go with them.
"Hey Nick" Greg said once Sara left
"What?"
"Good luck with Sara" Greg said
"Thanks, I hope she just tells me soon so I can continue on with my life" Nick said "What is taking her so long to decide?"
"Girls need time to think about stuff, just let her think about it."
" See ya later Greg" Nick said as he walked out the door to leave
After shift, Sara went to the break room to get something to drink before she left for home. She was surprised to see Catherine sitting there.
"Hey Catherine" Sara said. She was so happy that Catherine was done with her case so she could talk to her
"Hey Sara, what's up?"
"A lot" Sara said responding to the question "Shifts about over do you want to leave and go get some breakfast, I really need to talk to you?"
"Yeah sure" Catherine replied wondering what could have happened that see missed by being gone just one shift.
