Chapter 7:
"Hey Sara," Nick's voice echoed in the locker room when Greg and Sara went in. "Are you okay?" he asked worriedly, coming over to hug her.
"Ya, I'm fine," Sara was touched by his concern, "just needed a day off."
"Sara, you're back," Warrick exclaimed and hugged her as he came in the locker room. "It was weird without you."
"Thanks, I think," she laughed. They headed to meet the rest of their group to get their assignments.
"There are no new cases yet, so go back to last shifts work," Grissom ordered as they walked past his office. They started to leave when Grissom called, "Sara, can I talk to you for a minute?"
"See you guys later," Sara said turning back to Grissom.
"Have a seat," Grissom offered shutting the door. Sara sat looking around uncomfortably. "Is there anything you want to talk about?"
Sara looked towards him and shook her head. "I've already talked enough."
"With Greg?" Grissom questioned. Sara nodded and waited for the question she was sure was coming.
"Are you and Greg dating?" Grissom asked, unsure if he should be asking this question. He knew right away that it wasn't, as Sara grew angry.
"Why?" she almost yelled. "It's not against any rules." Sara closed her eyes and breathed deeply trying to calm down before she spoke again. "At this point," Sara said quietly, not looking at him, "no we are not. But he's being my friend..." Sara's voice cracked as she struggled to regain control. She stood up and whispered, "I have to go." She walked quickly out of the room and Grissom let her go.
Greg looked up from the blood stained sheets he was processing as he heard someone enter the layout room. It was Sara, looking very upset. Greg rushed over to her and pulled her into a hug.
"What happened?" Greg asked, ready to strangle Grissom if he did anything to hurt her.
"Nothing,"Sara whispered. "I'm just overreacting."
"Are you sure?" Greg asked.
"Ya," Sara smiled. "So what are you working on?"
Greg could see the discussion was over, so he explained what he was doing for the case.
The rest of the shift just flew by and soon it was time to head out. Greg and Sara were in the locker room getting ready to leave when Sara broke the silence.
"Do you think I could stay at your place again?" Sara mumbled shyly.
"Sure," Greg exclaimed happily. "Do you want to drive your car to your place and pick up some clothes and stuff. I can follow you and then take you to my place."
"Great," Sara smiled.
"Great," Greg repeated. "Let's go."
