Catherine waltzed into the break room, looking exceedingly proud of herself. Nick and Warrick glanced at each other, wondering what was going on.
"Okay, I give up," Nick said after a moment. "What's going on?" He couldn't recall Catherine ever looking this happy during the holidays. He could only assume that it had something to do with Grissom and Sara.
"Well, there's this old house a few miles out into the desert, and it's supposedly haunted, but the ghosts only appear on Christmas Eve," Catherine said, still smirking like a Cheshire cat. "And I was thinking, I know Grissom doesn't ever have plans for Christmas, and he might be interested in investigating it."
"Um, riiiiight," said Warrick skeptically. "And how are you going to get Sara to go out there with him? They've kind of been at each other's throats, in case you haven't noticed."
"That's where you and Nick come in," she said. "I need one of you to tell Sara about the house. She'll be suspicious if I tell her and she finds out that I told Grissom."
Warrick looked at Nick. "Hey, man, you're closer to her than I am."
Nick frowned. "Yeah, but the way things have been going, she's just as likely to rip my head off as think it's a good idea."
"Come on, Nick," Catherine pleaded. "All in the name of helping the Geek Mindmeld? The worst that can happen is that she says no."
"And what do we do then?"
"Well, we figure out a way to find a dead body or something equally appealing to Sara, then call her in on the case," said Catherine matter-of-factly.
"Call Sara in on what case?" The person in question entered the break room, pausing in her search for caffeine. Sara looked like she hadn't slept in a week, and lack of coffee wasn't helping her mood. "What case?" she repeated, looking at them suspiciously.
I know it's short, but it was just an idea I was kicking around in my brain. Let me know what you think.
