Catherine woke later that same afternoon finding herself slumped half on and half off the seat in her office. Sara was sound asleep next to her head lolled to the side resting against the arm. Cath's phone vibrated making her jump slightly. She got of the seat and made her way into the hallway clicking the door shut quietly so she didn't wake Sara she could do with the sleep.
"Hello" answered Catherine
"Cath I've got a new case for you and Sara, well possibly" he added
"What? why possibly?"
"Suspicious circs, the autopsy's been done now, if there's anything suspicious then work it if not realise the scene" replied Grissom putting the phone down before Cath had time to argue.
She looked down at her watch shift had started al of two minutes ago and she was already on her way to the morgue.
Approaching the doors she could see Doc Robbins was already at work.
'I fancy some steak for dinner'Cath froze at the doorway; he didn't just think abut dinner did he?
'Nice eye's pity no one going to see them now'"Hey" smiled Cath braving going inside
"Hey"
'Catherine has nice eyes and that sort of skin that goes soft before rigermortus sets in'Cath stopped midway across the morgue coughing slightly in shock.
"Hey Cath um I thought you and Sara were working this" smiled David coming in
'I just performed a exhumation and found someone buried with their dog I wanted to tell Sara I wonder where she is'
"Sara's asleep in my office" said Cath looking at David.
"She doesn't know about this," said Doc closing the woman on his table up
'Because if she did you'd hear the shouting there's no way she's giving the other one up'
'Damn I only came in to see Sara now I'm going to have to do some work so it doesn't look like I'm wondering'
David reluctantly picked up some tools and began clearing up.
Cath found it funny that Sara thought no one liked her and the truth was everyone did, Cath was getting a complex that every time she came in a room people thought of Sara.
"Well you wont want this anyway, heart attack nothing the slightest bit criminal about it" said Al as Grissom appeared at the door and indicated for Cath to leave.
"Hey what's up?" asked Cath.
"Triple outside of town everyone's on" he replied
"You just gave me this case"
"we'll from what I just heard it's not a case"
'Please don't' give me a hard time I've had enough just waking Sara up to tell her what's happening I wish I never let her near that abuse case'
Grissom removed his glasses and rubbed at his face.
"Ok boss lets go" smiled Cath giving him a break
"Right I'll drive" announced Warrick taking the keys.
'Oh god I hope the seatbelt works' Nick followed him out to the car.
'Great the one time I actually bother to eat' Sara reluctantly followed Nick.
'I pleased I didn't have breakfast' Greg sighed picking his kit up and following the others to the garage.
'Maybe I should bring more bags it is a triple'Cath couldn't help but smile at the fact Grissom was still thinking about work
'Come on lets get the ride of death over with'
"Come on Warrick" Sara began tapping impatiently at the glass window.
'Oh not the weird seat I'm not sitting in the back'
Nick made his was round to the front where Catherine had already gotten in the front passenger seta. Grissom was at on the right hand side at the back with Sara sliding in next to him.
"Sorry man looks like your going in the trunk" laughed Greg getting in next to Sara.
Nick squeezed into the back of the Tahoe his legs been hit by kits and boxes as he buckles the makeshift seat.
'I don't see why I have to sit in the trunk Sara's smaller than me she'd take up less room just because she's got long legs we old open the trunk and she could stick them out'
"Hey Nick if you need more room we can open the trunk and you can dangle your legs" commented Cath
'What wow freaky ow' another kit slide against him 'maybe it's a sexiest thing have me stuck in the back I didn't see Cath or Sara offer even through their smaller'
"Hey Nick I'll swap if you want I'm sure I'll have more space" smiled Cath
'What ok that's weird'
"No its ok" replied Nick
'Ok think something completely random blue mug'
"Hey Sara did you see a blue mug in the break room?" asked Cath as Nick shot up and hit his head on the roof
"Hey Nick calm down Warrick hasn't even turned on the ignition yet" laughed Sara wondering why Nick shot up.
"What do you mean?" question Warrick 'why would he be scared of the ignition'
"Nothing" replied Sara 'jut when you start the car everyone's going to grab something'
Sure enough as the key turned Cath actually found herself grassing the door handle. She looked both Greg and Grissom were doing the same while Sara was bracing herself against the two head rests
'Oh god stop moving I can feel your leg. Please stop brushing it against me'
Well Grissom's mind was certainly of work now. As the pulled violently out the garage Sara slid against Grissom.
'Oh god I'm going to die!'
Nick found a pile of evidence bags falling on him as they turned out onto the main road.
'Ok Gil think about something professional' Grissom shifted in his seat getting further towards the window as Sara's leg hit his every time they made a slight change in direction.
'Come on man turn this way at least let her fall on me once'
Greg was leaning dramatically towards Sara when the car turned right. 'I wonder if Cath knows she's leaning every time he turns? Maybe if he turns suddenly she'll fall out her seat'
Catherine suddenly realised she was leaning and decided this would be a good way to wind Greg up so started leaning forwards and backwards dramatically when they speed up or slowed down until they turned on corner and she lent so far she hit her head on the window causing a small out cry of laughter form both Greg and Sara who had been watching.
'What the hell is she doing did someone crunch a Prozac and stick it in her coffee'
Greg came very close to getting a slap when Sara's thought's interrupted Cath's anger.
'Wow I could just pinch him'
Cath looked to find Sara staring intently at Grissom's leg
'Maybe that will get a reaction I mean he couldn't get any further away his heads nearly out the window. Do I smell?'
Cath giggled as Sara pulled at her top trying to discreetly smell it
'What's she laughing at seriously is she drugged'"Greg I can just be happy," snapped Cath causing him to nod and sheepishly back into his seat
'Ok that was weird'
'Why is she looking at e, she's noticed me staring ok don't make eye contact'
Grissom suddenly found himself staring at the floor of the Tahoe avoiding Sara's gaze. This was going to be a long car journey
Sara rubbed her head as it once again connected with the ceiling as Warrick bounced along the long un-maintained road.
'Great I'm going to have a minor concussion before I get there'
Cath smirked to herself as Greg shifted in his seat
"I'm hungry," announced Greg "anyone got any food?" he asked hopefully
'Please no if I see food then your likely to see my breakfast again on your lap' Sara finally shifted so she was away from Grissom who had seemed to keep a extra bit of breath in his lungs he let it out.
"You should have ate before you came out," said Nick mocking a motherly tone at Greg.
'Why does this road never end my head is going to have a flipping huge lump on it' Sara rested her hand on her head to try and create a barrier
"And what are you supposed to be the tea pot?" laughed Cath as everyone looked at Sara
"The ceilings too low" she moaned
'I can fit in there what you doing bouncing' Warrick turned and looked in the mirror
Suddenly two car began swerving behind Warrick looking like they were racing each other, without warning Warrick steered off to a side road
'What the hells going on'
"Cath call Brass and get him to check those plates," instructed Warrick turning the car around so they were facing the direction they just came.
"Warrick what are you doing?" asked Grissom
"Suspicious they might be leaving the crime scene"
'how likely is that'
"what and we just happen to drive by them?" asked Sara
"The red one's reported stolen the other belong to a known criminal" said Cath flipping the phone down as Warrick turned out putting the flashing lights on the Tahoe
'Oh great lights now I'm going to have a concussion and a migraine'
'What's going on this is cool I've never been with the lights on;
Greg grabbed at the side handle excitedly that was until the cars saw the lights and speed up swerving across the road.
"Warrick what are you dong?" shouted Cath as Warrick pulled out following them.
"Warrick were not the police we cant arrest them," sighed Grissom
'Boy racers Warrick is not going to let this go'
Warrick increased his speed following the cars in front.
"Cath what was he known for?" asked Warrick as the people in the back of the car began swearing and making gestures out the back window.
"What's going on" shouted Nick trying to turn round and see what was happening in front
'Why are we going back what's everyone shouting for?'
"Several charges of assault which is why we should let the police do their jobs" replied Cath
"We will but we can't let them get way they'll dump the cars and we wont se them again"
oh god here we go'
TBC……..
Ok I'll update again on Friday when the night shift play car chasers with interesting results and Catherine finds out what it's like to be as smart as Grissom (well know what he's thinking so everyone else thinks she is!)
