A/N – So this story has been playing around in my head for a long while. Sara uses her talents and performs on stage in a Las Vegas 1 night production of Jonathan Larson's Rent!

Disclaimer – CSI isn't mine, and neither is Rent. Sigh But I love them both. Any of the songs mentioned are not mine and come from the beautiful mind of Jonathan Larson. Any of the lyrics from Rent you see are not mine. Jonathan Larson wrote them beautifully. Don't sue.

Chapter 11

The lab's hallways buzzed with the rumors of Sara's performance on stage. Sara tried to come back and act like she was just on vacation, but after seeing the looks the horny lab techs were giving her, she knew it would never be the same again.

She walked into the autopsy room and greeted a nervous looking David.

"He…Hello Sara" David stammered, not looking her in the eyes.

"I take it you heard what I was doing over my vacation" Sara sighed as she looked down at the corpse on the table.

"Yeah, everyone says you were amazing in it. If you told me, I would have gone to see you perform" David mumbled, a shy smile crossing his features.

"That's sweet David, but I didn't tell anyone that I was performing. Apparently Tina, Warrick's wife, had tickets for the nightshift, and they all just showed up" Sara replied shrugging her shoulders. "But I'm still the same person David. You can look at me."

"Sorry nervous habit" he said, finally tearing his eyes off the floor.

"No problem, so COD?"

David started to speak when Grissom came into the room. "Hey David" he said walking up to the slab next to Sara. "You guys start yet?"

"We're staring right now" Sara replied turning her attention back to David. "COD?"

"Seems to be blunt force trauma to the occipital lobe" David started , lifting the victim's head to indicate where the blows were.

Sara tried to look interested in what David was saying, but all she could think about was Grissom's hand on the small of her back. He was rubbing his thumb over the base of her spine, and Sara slightly leaned back into his thumb, increasing the pressure even more. She glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, and noticed how calm and collected he seemed as he took in everything David was saying.

"Thanks David" she heard Grissom say, and that snapped her out of her musings.

"Layout room?" Grissom asked her as they both started to walk out of the morgue. Sara nodded her head.

Once they were outside Sara whispered into his ear "You're an evil man Gil".

"Can I make it up to you in some way?" a smirking Grissom asked looking into her eyes.

"Take me out tonight" Sara sang, and with a smirk on her face, and a swing in her hips, she headed towards the layout room.

The End… It has been a great ride, and I'm glad I finally forced myself to put this story down on paper! Thanks for all your kind reviews… and I of course want your feedback on this last chapter and the overall story!
