It had been three months since the scare with Tony Wilston. Sara has tried to move on, but she couldn't get the haunting memories out of her mind. Catherine and Grissom were being extremely supportive during this time, as were Nick and Warrick. And of course, we cannot forget little old Greggo.

Sara hadn't been sleeping much of these past days because of the nightmares that came along with the experience. What if they hadn't come and she had been killed? And also, she wasn't sure this wasn't all over for good. She tried to act as normal as possible around everyone at all times.

At this moment, Sara was in her Denali driving herself to the lab. She was ridiculously exhausted, but she didn't show it. She parked and got out of her car. She heard footsteps behind her and she turned around, frightened. "Relax, Sara, it's just me," Catherine said putting on hand on her shoulder. Sara sighed, trying to relax. "Sorry, it's just ever since that day…" Sara began. "I don't blame you. You look exhausted. Have you been sleeping?" Catherine asked her. "Oh, uh me? Of course," she lied. "Okay," Catherine said sensing the lie and walked into the lab. Sara watched her go and took a moment to calm down before entering the lab.

"There's little miss sunshine now!" Nick chuckled as Sara made her way to the break room and went straight for the coffee. "Don't start that up again," she muttered. "Someone's grumpy," Warrick said walking in. Sara gave him a look. Warrick backed off. Catherine laughed a little as she watched them. Sara sat down stirring her coffee when she noticed Grissom had not come in yet. "Where's Grissom?" she asked taking a sip. "Oh, I don't know, but I'm sure he's coming soon," Nick said.

As soon as Nick said it, Grissom walked in. "Sorry, Ecklie…was being…" "Ecklie?" Nick finished for Grissom. "…Yeah," Grissom said and took out some files. "So, Nick and Warrick, you're going to take Greg with you on this 419 at the Tangiers," he said. "Damn! Another one!" Nick exclaimed taking the file. "Catherine, Sara, you're with me. We've got a 419 downtown," he said handing Sara the folder. Sara took it and flipped through it, still sleepy. She blinked a few times and read through it.

"See ya guys, " Warrick said as he and Nick walked off. Greg walked out of the lab with them happily. Catherine read through the file Sara was reading. "…Gang-related shooting?" Catherine asked. "Looks that way," Grissom said. Sara sighed. "Great, let's go," she said getting up. "Just what this town needs, another gang," she muttered heading for the locker room. Catherine followed her and Grissom gathered up the papers as he headed for his office.

Sara went through her locker looking for something. Catherine noticed she was having difficulty. "Sara, you need some help?" she asked opening her own locker. "Oh, uh, no, I'm okay," she said as she continued to go through her things. Something fell out of her locker. It was a huge book. "War and Peace?" Catherine said reading the title. "I've been flipping through it," Sara said putting it back in the locker. "How far are you?" Catherine asked her. "Page…952," Sara replied casually. "And…you've been reading it how long?" Catherine asked curiously. "Saturday makes…three days," she answered closing up the locker and putting her bag over her shoulder. She walked out. Catherine was stunned.

"T-T-THREE DAYS?" Catherine said to herself. She gasped in amusement at the thought and then followed out of the room.

When Catherine, Sara, and Grissom got to the crime scene, they all grabbed their kits. "So, bullet-shot victim," Brass told Grissom. "Through and through. The guy worked at a mini-mart, don't know why anyone would wanna kill him," Brass continued. "Crime of opportunity, maybe," Catherine said leaning down towards the body. Sara put on some gloves and noticed something sticking out of the shirt pocket. It was paper. "Huh, I found something," she said taking it out carefully. She opened it up. After reading the note, Sara's eyes widened. "C-Catherine?" she said, clearly a little more the frightened. "What is it?" Catherine asked walking over to her. She read the note.

"Tony is dead, but we are not. We are going to make those two pay. CSI Willows and CSI Sidle…watch your backs…you never know when we could be right behind you."

Catherine's eyes widened as well and she jumped as she heard someone behind her. "What'd you guys find?" Grissom asked. He noticed Catherine jumped and then saw the note. He grabbed it, wearing his gloves. He read it and looked at both of them. "All right, this is what we're going to do…" and with that, Grissom gave Catherine and Sara their instructions.
