A/n- Chapter four is up… enjoy!
Grissom used the ALS to look at the counter in the lavatory of the plane. Sara stood in the doorway of the small room observing his actions. He turned to her.
"Hand me my Christopher Columbus from my field kit." He spoke to Sara.
He took the device and looked again at the sink bowl.
"I take it that's not blood."
"No, but it has protein in it. " he exclaimed.
"Oh, the mile high club. That means the two passengers may have had no idea what was going on inside the cabin."
"You know, high altitude enhances the entire sexual experience. It increases the euphoria." Grissom said matter of fact.
"Well ... it's good. I don't know if it's that good." What was she doing? Catherine wondered. She had sex on an airplane before? Stunned Catherine took a step back but only enough so she was out of site but in listening distance.
"Cite your source."
"Hand me a swab please."
"You're avoiding the question. "Enhances sexual experience. Increases euphoria." Cite your source."
"A magazine."
"What magazine?"
"Applied Psychodynamics in Forensic Science."
"Never heard of it."
"I'll get you a subscription." He stared at her for a while and before she could leave he spoke. She knew what he was going to say.
"Cite your source."
"Nah, never mind."
"You started it."
"Delta Airlines, Flight 1109, Boston-Miami, March '93, Ken Fuller. Hazel eyes, Organic Chem Lab TA, BMOC ... overrated ... in ... every aspect. Could ... we ... get back to work, please?" Catherine didn't realise how long she had been holding her breath until she let all the air from her lungs out by reflex. Was Sara flirting with Gil Grissom, her boss and supervisor? How could she? Catherine was upset, but in spite of herself. Was she jealous? Oh god, she was.
"Yeah. I think, due to your, uh ... firsthand knowledge and experience in aeroplane bathrooms, you should do the swab."
"Fine." She said as he left the plane.
Sara worked quietly and methodically for about two minutes before who she thought was Grissom came up behind her.
"Grissom, are you going to tell anyone?" She turned around to see Catherine and blushed a little.
"About what?" she asked deeply.
"Oh, nothing. Just…oh forget it. It's not important."
Catherine interrupted, "Drop the act sweetheart. I heard everything." Sara stood deadly still. Catherine moved in the small lavatory cramping them both unnecessarily close.
"Oh." Sara whispered feel guilty suddenly. She didn't know Catherine then so who should she feel guilty?
"You lied." Catherine whispered.
"About what?"
"It's good, I don't know if it's that good." Catherine quoted Sara's phrase while she was talking to Grissom.
"How did I lie?" Sara said softly but not yet a whisper. When Catherine spoke next she could feel Catherine's warm breath on her face and neck.
"It is that good." Catherine winked and walked out of the lavatory.
