(Grissom enters the break room where Catherine, Warrick, Sara, Nick, and Greg are all seated around the oval table.)
Grissom: Okay, I have a new case for everyone. The Burkly family is missing from their Las Vegas home. The grandmother notified the police after two days of not being able to get in touch with them. They are a family of five with two sons and a daughter. We'll all drive over to their house to investigate. Cath and Warrick, you take one car and do the perimeter. Nick and Greg, you take a Tahoe and go interview the neighbours. Sara, you and I will take the inside.
Catherine: Alright, let's move.
(Everyone exits the break room except Sara who is waiting for Grissom.)
Grissom: I'll be just a sec. I want to grab my hat.
Sara: Yeah, it's so warm outside. It is supposed to go up to 35˚C.
(As Grissom's back is turned, Sara takes off her denim jacket which leaves her in a dark green halter top.)
Sara: You ready?
Grissom: Yeah…
(Grissom turns around and is caught off guard by her appearance. Her hair is wavy and falls gracefully on her slender shoulders. Her halter top gives just a hint of cleavage, and the dark green colour accentuates her eyes. Her jeans look like they were made for her and she is wearing a very feminine kitten heeled shoe which is unlike her since she normally wears boots. Her overall radiance gives Grissom a sparkle in his eye.)
Grissom: You look beautiful.
(Sara turns her glance to the floor and blushes. Grissom looks stunned at first by his words, but then his look turns to an amused one.)
Sara: Thank you.
(Their eyes connect for a moment and they are lost in the pools of each other's eyes. After a few seconds Grissom breaks the connection knowing there is work to be done.)
Grissom: Okay let's go.
(Grissom still has that sparkle in his eye and does something that is unlike him. He walks her to the car with his hand resting on the small of her back. She lets him lead her to the car and open the door for her. As she waits for him to get in she tries to make herself looked composed because she has been shocked with his gentleman like actions.)
(Grissom climbs into the car, does up his seatbelt, and starts the engine.)
Grissom: So, how've you been?
Sara: I've been good, you?
Grissom: Pretty good, thanks.
(The rest of the ride is quiet. Sara stares out her window. Grissom tries to focus on the road, but his eyes keep gravitating towards her because she looks so stunning. Sara notices his glances, out of the corner of her eye, and decides to just let him gawk. She knows it's her new outfit that is attracting his attention.)
Sara rarely felt in the mood to go clothes shopping, but yesterday she did. She went into the store she always shopped at. A new employee, obviously working on commission, was helping her pick out clothes. Sara did not normally like or want help, but this new girl named Peggy was picking out items that really looked good on her. She ended up spending $100.00 more than she planned, but loved all of her new clothes. She decided to wear one of her new outfits to work, to see if she could catch someone's attention, and she did.
