Kelly rudely slammed the door shut, and headed for the back of the SUV retrieving the evidence and had it all collected before either of the two were out of the vehicle, she walked past them not saying anything and disappeared inside.
"What's up her ass?" Greg muttered out loud, Sara not hearing over the wind,
It was silently agreed that they could walk beside each other into the building.
"It's amazing isn't it?" Sara stopped walking
"What is?" Greg asked
"The snow, look at it all, it's just perfect"
Greg grunted in response and disappeared inside in search of Kelly, that woman wasn't going to get away with out answer a few questions he had.
He caught her coming out of trace and she motioned him to walk with her.
"Why is she here?" Kelly looked around before motioning him into a processing room, empty at the moment.
"I only found out minutes before I saw you together but several lab owners thought to get a better understanding of how different labs are run and what not, they created this thing where one CSI would go to another lab in completely different elements around the US, seeing as how we have snow and Vegas is hot were a perfect match"
"How come we didn't loose one of ours?"
"We did its just on graveyard"
"But why her?"
"That I'm afraid I cant answer but you could ask her" she motioned to the door, where stood the snow laddened, cheeks and nose rosy, she had been having fun in the snow.
"I'm going to go and see if I can hurry something's up while you two… talk" Kelly nodded and left leaving them alone.
"What do you have to ask me?" she asked as she removed her coat, and mittens.
"Why are you here?"
"I think she explained it pretty well"
"She didn't even begin to cover it" he paused "Did you volunteer to come?"
"No I didn't even know I was volunteered until the night before I was supposed to come" he glared at her
"Okay so maybe I did, hinting that going to Colorado would be a nice change"
"Why?" his voice wavering
"We have some business"
"Then lets get it taken care of, so you can continue your little visit and get the hell out of here for good" Sara glanced down, she didn't like that answer
"Grissom and me never worked out, it felt weird, like a father daughter date, the kiss was only to see if we felt anything, I didn't"
"And I'm supposed to believe this?"
"I really don't know what you want to believe but it didn't work because I realized that I had finally grown to love someone else"
"Let me guess, me?"
"Bingo"
"No"
"What no?"
"No just no" he held his hands up to defend himself against the advancing Sara
"I just… I" he left the room in search of one woman he knew he could seek advice from.
"I thought you were going to hurry things up" he asked the woman who was sitting in the break room, with a cup of coffee in front of her
"I did, I made coffee which hurried up me getting my caffeine fix, so i dont freak on Callahan" that made no sense but he understood it
"Can I talk to you?"
"Sure what about or do I even need to ask?" he glanced down as he pulled out a chair for himself
Sara watched as the two talked from the window that she was uncertain that neither knew she was there, Callahan voice scared the living daylights out of her but she didn't show it
"They won't bite"
"Oh no… I was just thinking" they both glanced in and saw Kelly shake her head no and then her lips began to move. Greg nodding his head yes.
"Well feel free to head home, just about to do that with the others, the blizzard is worse than they expected"
"Thanks I just might do that" her gaze landing on the two in the break room, who were now laughing
"See ya guys later" Kelly told them as she left the two standing in front of each other
"So" Greg stretched out the word more than necessary
"So" Sara echoed
"Wanna get a cup of coffee?" Sara asked after a moment of silence
"Not tonight, I wanna get home before the blizzard hits"
"Oh right, I wasn't thinking, not used to the snow" she smiled
"I'd hate to ask but can I get a ride home?" she asked sheepishly
He wanted to say no, tell her to catch up to Kelly who he was pretty sure listening around the corner, or call a cab, but he hated seeing her in any form of distress so he faked smiled and nodded.
"Sure no problem" just relax put on a radio station turn it up loud enough neither have to talk.
He could do this; it wasn't that hard it was only a ride.
"Car's right this way" Greg motioned for Sara to follow him to the car, he climbed in and regretted not getting that automatic starter when he had the chance, he blastedthe heaton full, the car slowly warming.
He flicked on the radio after turning the heat down just a tad and waited a few extra minutes for whatever reason he didn't know.
"Do you like it here?" He glanced at Sara
"Ya I do"
"Why here? Why not California or New York"
"Because Colorado is the complete opposite of Las Vegas, the reason you're here" he said unamused
He pulled up in front of her hotel and put in car in park, waiting for her to get out so he could go home. To do what? Dream of her. Damn he was pathetic.
"Do you wanna come up wait out the storm?" he saw the little sparkle in her eye when she said every word but no he couldn't.
"The storm's getting worse, maybe another time" he focused his glance on the falling snow in front of him.
"Greg…I" she started
"Just go" he told her, his gaze never once leaving the snow
"I was going to say that I love you" she got out of the car and slammed it shut, he made sure she got in okay before pulling away. Telling himself he only did it to make sure she got in okay, she wasn't used to snow.
"Ya, ya" he said to himself and pigs could fly.
