Apoligies on my absence from updating these stories. Real Life reared it's ugly head. Had two family crisises plus changed from working days to 3rd shift all in the last month. Hopefully things have settled down now and I can concentrate on my writing again. :)

Summary: Sara and Grissom go to NYC. Sequel to Barely Existing

After leaving the FBI building Sara and Grissom hit the stores. Well, Sara more than Grissom but Grissom was more than content to traspe from store to store just to see Sara laugh and smile. As they walked through one of the novelty shops near Times Square Sara called Grissom over to a display she was looking at.

Grissom eyed the display suspiciously, "Looking for something for Lindsey?"

Sara giggled as she took a headband with candy cane striped reindeer antlers off the shelf and placed them squarely on Gil's head.

"Nope, you."

Grissom looked in a nearby mirror and couldn't help but smile.

"Warrick has to see this," Sara said as she quickly pulled out her cellular camera phone and took a picture before Grissom could protest.

"Hey!" Grissom stated as he tried to grab for the phone.

Sara laughed and twisted out of his way, "Too late, email's sent."

"You'll pay for that," Grissom growled as he took off the offending antlers and placed them back on the shelf.

"How?"Sara asked.

"I'll think of something." Grissom promised as they walked out of the store.

"Sure, empty threats." Sara replied with a grin.

Grissom placed an arm around her shoulder, "When you least expect it."

"You mean like the two years later revenge after Nick pulled that practical joke on you?"

Grissom nodded, "There's no statue of limitations on practical jokes."

"Techically what I did wasn't a practical joke." Sara stated.

"Close enough," Grissom replied with a smile. "You snuck up on me and placed something silly on my person."

Sara laughed," Okay, I'll consider myself duly warned. Where to next?"

Grissom looked down at the eight shopping bags and said, "How about we drop these back at the room. Then we can look at a map and see what we can fit in before dinner."

Sara nodded,"Are Jack and the others joining us tonight?"

Grissom shook his head,"They have to work a case. It's just you and me."
