Cath walked into the brake room and saw just whom she wanted to talk to. Adam was sitting at the table; drinking a cup of coffee and going over his autopsy report form the previous day.
"Adam!" she beamed taking a seat opposite him, "we got off on the wrong foot yesterday. Catherine willows, I've been friends with Gil for a while now."
"Adam Grissom, your bosses son." Adam replied. 'Hmmm, maybe dad was right' Adam mused.
"Listen, I just wondering how you know Sara, is it through you that she and Gil met?" she asked sweetly, bouncing her chest for good measure.
Adam laughed, "no, the other way around, I know Sara through my father. I met her a few months after she met my father."
"So…you've known Sara for, what. Ten years?" at Adam's nod she went on, "the same amount as Gil, hmmm, do you get on well with her?" she persisted wanting more information, ignoring Adam's annoyed look from his report. 'He sure is easier to talk to than Gil- mother's influence?' she wondered.
"Of course, Sara is great, besides she and I have a bond."
"What's this about me Adam?" Adam turned to see Sara already at the coffeepot, eyebrows raised.
"Ohh, just 'the bond', that you and I share from ten years ago." Adam replied with a wink, knowing that Catherine was watching them like a hawk.
"Ahh, yes, that bond, and how is that coming along Adam?" Sara asked playing along.
"Good, good, come over for dinner on Saturday and I'll show you."
"Sure, catch you guys later, I need my DNA results form Greg." And with that she left the room, giving a final smile to Adam, for good measure.
"What bond?" Catherine immediately asked, hoping for more information.
"Ahh, yes, well, Sara was the first to know." he told her conspiringly and with that he left leaving a very puzzled and very worried Catherine.
"Gil, do something!"
"Okay." Grissom replied form his desk without looking up.
"I'm serious Grissom," came Catherine's plea from her seat in front of his desk, "you have to do something."
"About what Catherine?" Grissom sighed and looked up from the never-ending paperwork.
"Adam and Sara."
"What about Adam and Sara?"
"I think they like each other." Catherine stated, trying to gauge Grissom's reaction and not be hit by a torrent of anger that was bound to come. Instead she heard laughter. "You're laughing. Why are you laughing? You never laugh and you laugh at a time like this, what is wrong with you?" she asked exasperated by the sheer puzzle of the man sitting in front of her.
"Cath, Adam and Sara do not like each other, I repeat, do not like each other."
"How do you know?"
"Trust me, I know."
"Gil, she is going over to his house for dinner on Saturday. If you do not do something you will lose her…to your son!"
"Catherine, although this is none of your business, I can guarantee that Adam and Sara are not going out."
"Prove it."
Grissom sighed and put down his pen. "Because Adam has been with his current partner for four years, they live together and are very happy."
"That can change, he could leave her."
"Actually he wouldn't, not for Sara anyway."
"Why? Because you like her and you couldn't bare for your son to be in love with her?" Catherine was getting really angry with Grissom now, he may be a close friend but he was very, very dense.
"No, Catherine, because Adam is gay." Silence followed Grissom's statement. Catherine sat back in shock.
"Gay?"
"Yes."
"For how long?"
"I don't know. His whole life."
"When did he tell you?"
"Ten years ago, after Sara told him too. After, after his mother died, now, end of discussion."
"How did his mother die, who was she?" Catherine wanted to know more,
more!
MORE!
"Out, now. That is for Adam to tell you if he ever wants to."
Catherine sighed and left Grissom's office knowing she would get no further with him.
