Sara, Nick and Greg were sitting in the brake room drinking coffee at the end of shift. Sara was reading a forensic magazine whilst Nick and Greg talked about Catherine's up coming party that was only a week away. Sighing Sara put down her magazine.
"MUST you talk about the stupid party?" she asked annoyed.
Nick looked at her from across the table and asked her in a slow tone you would speak to a child with…
"Sara, have you always hated parties and socialising and being with people, or is it just that you hate us?"
"Ha ha Nick, very funny. For your information, no, I don't hate you guys and no, I do not hate parties or socialising or being with people." She retorted.
"Yes you have." Came Adam's voice and he came in and sat down next to Sara, and smiled at her annoyed frown. Turning to Nick and Greg he answered their unasked questions. "When we first met, about two weeks later my father was asked to a ball/dinner thing for someone at the university and he made both of us come along, me because he wanted me to meet people and see how the things worked and Sara because it would get her good job options and he wanted her to be there."
"Adam, do they really need to hear this?" Sara tried to plead.
"Shut up Sara, on with the story Adam." Greg said quickly.
Adam chuckled, "all right. So anyway. We get all dressed up for this stupid ball, Sara was wearing a very lovely dress and both dad and I wore suits and we turn up and everything is fine, Sara hating it as is to be expected and her and dad were both plotting to escape some how before the speech's-"
"Adam." Sara whined banging her head on the table. He merely smiled and continued.
"- And some how they find out how to, they sneak out and dad didn't realise but he had to do a speech. So when everyone realised that 'Dr. Grissom and one of his young female students' were missing everyone became suspicious. So then I had to and tell them that they had to leave to go to a crime scene, which everyone believes. But the next day everyone asks how the crime scene was and dad and Sara have no idea what they are talking about so I have to tell them and so they are going along with it but people are asking about details and when is the court date etc. so dad had to finally tell them that he suddenly got sick from the meal they provided and had to rush off to hospital and told them all that he had had a stomach bug for days. No one asked any questions after that." Adam finished grinning as Nick and Greg laughed themselves to tears.
Sara punched Adam on the arm, clearly annoyed.
"You know, I never did find out what you two were up to that night…" Adam stated.
"Yeah, Sara, what did you and 'Dr. Grissom' get up to? Huh?" Greg asked suggestively waggling his eyebrows.
"Adam! Greg! Go home!" Grissom barked from the doorway. "You too Nick, Sara." He added quickly walking to his office and gathering his things to go home.
