"Sisters! You mean she is your aunt?" Catherine said astonished.
"Yes."
"Why didn't you tell us this before?" questions Grissom.
"Because she wasn't in town until recently."
"Catherine, will you excuse us for a minute?"
"Sure, I'll be in trace." Catherine walks away.
"What is it Grissom? I don't need your help. I'm fine."
"Don't push me away now."
"You're one to talk."
"Excuse me."
"You push me away all the time."
"This is different."
"How? How is this different?" questions Sara "It's only different when we're talking about be, isn't it? When the subject is you its off limits. Am I right?"
"I'm just trying to help you, Sara."
"It's a little too late for that now what's done is done. No going back." Her words stun him, making him wonder what they truly mean. He looks back up after a few moments to see that Sara has already left down the hall.
Break Room – The next day
"So how did it go with Sara?"
"Not good"
"She claims that the suspect … her aunt didn't do it."
"We cannot base our case on that we need to follow the evidence."
"Grissom …"
"Lets look at what we have…did you run the prints?"
"I didn't get to with the interrogation…"
"Hey, Grissom does Sara have a case?"
"No, Nick why?"
"Because she just walked into the evidence room."
Evidence Room
Sara put on some gloves and begins to look at the evidence found in her mother's case. She comes across a picture of her and her mother in front of their Bed and Breakfast.
It was opening day. Things were great.
"Sara, what are you doing here? You weren't assigned to any case." Grissom said as walked into the room.
"I wanted to look through her things."
"You can have them when we are done with the investigation."
"I needed to see them before…I…"
"This isn't your case, you're too …" Grissom pause trying to look for the right words.
"Emotionally involved?"
"Yes."
"So you say."
"Sara, it won't help the investigation if you were to handle or process the evidence."
"I know but I can't help it I…"
"You need answers." Supplied Grissom.
"Yes." Grissom takes a sit next to Sara
"We're trying our best to find who did this to her. You have to take it easy. I know its difficult …what you are going through but you don't have to go through it alone anymore you have friends here …you have me." Sara looks at him.
"Thanks and I'm sorry about snapping at you the other day."
"Its okay I understand."
"I should go home and get some rest." Sara gets up to leave.
"Let me know if you need anything." Sara smiles.
"I will."
