A/N: So now hopefully everything is making more sense now. Sorry about that. :(. I'm just really technologically challenged.

Tina sat adjacent to her husband and across of Detective Vartann while Sara had the uncomfortable pleasure of sitting across of Warrick. The course of the evening hadn't been as dreadful as Sara thought it would be. Never running out of topics helped the conversation flow. They had talked about everything from pop culture to Greek mythology, some of which recalled many a conversation the two former lovers had in their past life together. That had elicited some sideways glances between the two, hopefully escaping the notice of their counterparts. Somehow the discussion had turned to work. Two sides of the law had converged on one table and the defense was severely outnumbered.

"Yes, but the accused is entitled to a speedy trial," Tina spoke. "And as a defense attorney we have the right to exercise that right."

"Don't I know that," came Warrick's rebuttal. "Remember that Tom Haviland case?" Warrick asked Sara.

"Yeah, that was horrible," she answered.

"What happened?" Vartann asked.

"CSI basically got put under a microscope," Sara said. "Because the defense asked for a speedy trial in hopes that they would be able to trip us up with all the evidence we hadn't processed yet."

"Dirty," said Vartann.

"No, it was a strategic play on the part of the defense," Tina came back. "The ability to second guess your opponent is half the battle. After that all you need is a solid alibi and eyewitness testimony."

"Eyewitnesses are about as reliable as the 49ers making it to the Super Bowl," Warrick interjected.

"Hey don't make fun my team," Sara chided.

"It's not my fault they haven't had a decent QB since Young," Warrick teased.

"Okay, fine I'll give you that," Sara agreed. "But they could be making a come back any day now."

"Yeah, I'll buy that when pigs start to fly and spontaneous human combustion is put into the text book."

"You did not just say that?" Sara couldn't believe he would even bring that up.

Vartann and Tina exchanged looks from across the table. They knew they were missing out on something.

"You two wanna let us in on the joke?" Tina interrupted their connection.

"Nothing," Warrick answered never taking his eyes off Sara. "Just an old case we worked on a few years back."

"There was this woman," Sara broke her gaze with Warrick to look at Tina. "Who burnt up into ash without any explanation..."

Warrick scoffed.

"Stop, let me finish my story," she glared at him. "She had high levels of Seconal..."

Vartann inquired, "Seconal?"

"Sleeping pills," Warrick answered.

"In her bloodstream which acted as an accelerant to the cigarette she feel asleep with..." Sara didn't let the interruption stop her flow.

"She basically burned inside out," Warrick finished. "And Sara here thought..." he let his voice trail off so she could finish.

"Can't believe you're making me tell this story," she continued. "I thought possibly that she could have spontaneously combusted." Everyone around the table, including Sara started to giggle at her expense. She didn't mind though, mostly because the person she'd shared it with was there to laugh along with her.

"So to disprove my theory," she added. "Warrick did an experiment on a pig to simulate the conditions of the case. Man, that reeked."

"Not as much as you after the clean-up," Rick supplemented with a chuckle.

"Yeah, I smelt like bacon for a week."

"That's funny," Vartann said through a quiet laughter.

"You know if you weren't so stubborn about that I would've helped you clean up." Warrick told Sara.

"Me stubborn? What about you," Sara's tone took on a mocking manner. "Mister-this-ionizer-will-tell-us-exactly-what- was-used. So skeptical. It's okay to believe in things that are unexplained, you know."

"I know. I do. But what can I say," he defended himself. "The scientist in me needs proof." He smirked at her. She couldn't take her eyes off him as silence settled upon them. For a moment it was just the two of them reveling in their memories. Vartann and Tina were beginning to feel left out of the moment when their server brought over the separate tabs. Thankfully it broke the awkwardness of the minute and signaled the end of the evening was approaching.
