As soon as they stepped off the elevator Sara instantly felt comfortable in the office.
After introductions were made everyone took a seat around a small conference table.
"How was the flight?"Jack asked as he leaned back in the chair.
"Good. Landing was a bit bumpy."Grissom replied.
Sara studied the five FBI agents and noted the chemistry. They were clearly friends as well as colleagues.
Sara cleared her throat as she placed her folded hands on the table's surface.
"I came here to thank you."Sara began quietly. "But now I don't have the words.
Brass and Grissom told me of all the effort you went to when you had no evidence to go on. I've always considered myself to be a strong person. But I know now that I couldn't have survived much longer if you hadn't found me when you did......"
Grissom reached over and placed his right hand on Sara's arm when her voice trailed off. His hand slid down her arm and he interlaced his fingers with hers.
Jack leaned forward and took Sara's free hand in his until the CSI's gaze met his own.
"We're glad you're safe, Sara. As you know as well as we do in our line of work the happy endings don't always out weigh the bad ones. It's good that....."
The shrill ringing of Martin's cell phone interrupted his boss.
Fitzgerald smiled sheepishly as he quickly took the phone out of his jacket pocket. "Sorry. Excuse me for a moment."
Sam looked over at Sara as Martin stepped away from the table. "So what are your plans for your stay here?"
Sara smiled as she wiped away a stray tear. "Just relaxing and hopefully a bit of sight seeing."
"Relaxing.....I can't remember what that's like."
Sara laughed. "Trust me I know the feeling. Last few weeks I've been working double shifts."
Sam nodded. "Here double shifts translate into twenty-four hour stake outs in below forty degree weather."
"Fun."Sara commented drily.
Grissom watched the exchange between the two women with a smile. He was grateful to see some of Sara's old self coming back.
Danny stood and leaned against the table. "Sara, if you'd like the nickel tour of this place Sam and I'd be happy to show you around."
Sara nodded. "Thanks."
Martin stepped back to the table and caught his boss's attention. "Jack, that was the Port Authority. One of their officers spotted a girl matching Rachel Adams near some vending machines."
Jack stood. "I apologize Sara, Dr. Grissom we're going to have to cut this visit short."
Grissom and Sara stood reaching for their coats.
"Of course."Grissom replied as he slipped an arm around Sara's waist.
"Danny, Martin and Sam head over there. Viv, get on the phone, ground all buses leaving within the next half hour. "
"Rain check on the tour."Danny promised as he grabbed his coat from the back of his desk chair.
"No problem."Sara acknowledged as she watched them leave.
