A/N 1: Apparently the very last statement, in my last chapter (19), didn't have to be made. Because as I had posted that chaper, and I was trying to sleep that night, inspiration suddenly had me wide awake. I really had to fight with myself not to get up, and start typing this new chapter. I only filed it away in my memory, so I could type it up much, much later on. And so I did, albeit it's short, and with no dialog. I'm merely summing up a whole day somehow.
POV: Sara again.
Disclaimers: They still belongs to TPTB aka the bosses as CBS. Gareth is still mine though.
Chp. 20.
The next week flew by, and Gars team had come and left again. We had a case load over the average, so almost every waking hour was spend at the lab, until the final break came and we could all breathe normal again. We even had to call on Nick, Catherine, and Warrick for helping us out. In the mean time, I had found time to help Gar finding a place. So now all there was left was for him, was to get his stuff here from San Francisco. He had finally told Jacqui about our childhood, and that's with my blessing of course. She never really said out loud that she was sorry about our childhood, or said something out of compassion. She only caught me in the locker room on day, where she gave me an enormous hug, and I knew that that was her way of telling me silently, that she felt for Gar and me.
I had never really thought of going all the way to San Francisco, to get his stuff, but per Gars request here I was. We had brought both Gil and Jacqui, and the latter had been surprised when being invited to come along. We had agreed to fly out, and then rent a truck, large enough to fit all of the stuff, and then drive back. That way we saved a lot of driving time there.
Gar and I had also talked serious about one matter, and that matter had been if we should go visit our father's grave. That way we figured that we could get a closure on it all, so we could get on with both of our lives. We would also look the beast in the eyes and see the old B&B where we grew up, and show Gil and Jacqui Tamales Bay. Gil and I also want to visit the old lab. I haven't been there once, ever since transferring to Las Vegas, but I'm still in contact with one of them there, so he knows I'll be coming and will meet us in the lobby. So here we are exiting San Francisco airport, heading to the rental car area of said airport, then we're off to the hotel where we've rented three rooms. We have almost three days here. The rest of this Friday, all of Saturday and Sunday, then we'll head back Monday morning, so we'll be ready for the shift that night.
Later after checking in, we meet in the hall, and head for the car. Since it's just after noon, Gil and I will head to the lab, and Gar and Jacqui will head to his base. They'll pick up a few boxes on the way, so they can pack his stuff up and be ready for loading late Sunday. He says there's only for a few boxes, since the rest is in storage. His place is basically only a one room, with a small bathroom. All of his clothes are easy to pack up along with everything else, so Gar and Jacqui can easily manage that task alone. We decide that Gar and Jacqui takes the car, since Gar's place is farter away than the lab is. So after goodbyes, Gil and I hop onto a cable car, heading in the direction of the San Francisco Crime Lab.
Some hours later we leave the San Francisco Crime Lab again, grinning with amusement of our visit there. Apparently the rumor mill had run in over gear, saying that the two crime scene investigators from the Las Vegas Crime Lab, with the hugest solve rate would come. Not to mention one of the country's only entomologists, so nearly everyone was in attendance, wanting to see us, but not that that was necessary. I know that Gil is the reason, as to why the Las Vegas Crime Lab was pulled up to be number 2 Crime Lab, and they'd never let him go. I'm the one lucky to be there, and I know I was envied when I was called to help Gil out, and even more envied when I was headhunted, if you can call it that, to work in Vegas, albeit both Gil and I sort of had our own secret agendas, aside of the task of me just working there.
As we hopped onto a cable car, heading back to the hotel, I called Gar from my cell phone, to hear how far he and Jacqui had gotten in the packing up department. As it turns out they need a bit more time, so we just decided to meet up in the hotel dining room at 7:00 pm, meaning that Gil and I had about three and a half hours just to be ourselves. Both Gil and I knew how that time would be spent: Namely in bed without any clothes on our bodies, spending some much charged energy, building over the week that we just had, with hardly any energy to do much else than sleep, once we reached the bed.
Turns out we've missed each other deeply, so we've hardly closed the door to the hotel room, before a frantic battle with both passions and clothes begins. Once we have ridden each other for clothes, we fall onto the bed and kiss frantically, hands roaming all over each others bodies. Damn I've missed this I muse, while Gils hand slides up my right thigh, and slowly reaches the center of my heat, nearly driving me crazy in the process. Once it has reached its much wanted destination, it's the most wonderful feeling of this entire week.
Later, with the charged energy spend with much pleasure and passion; I'm laying on my stomach resting, as Gil drops very small airy butterfly kisses down my spine. I can't help the sigh escaping my lips, by his lips gentle touches on my skin, and I hear him chuckle, as his last two kisses lands on each of my butt cheeks. That makes me giggle a bit, as he comes to drop a kiss my temple too. He then tells me he has missed me, so very much this week, and I tell him that I've missed him so very much too. We lay there for the reminder of the time, until it's time for us to get ready. To save time we share a shower, and soon we're both ready to head down to the dining room.
A/N 2: So given this chapter, I might end up spouting out another chapter this week. I don't suppose that people have anything against that?
So what do you think?
