Conflicting Interests
Chapter 1: Calm Before the Storm
Disclaimer: I do not own any characters, locations, things, etc. I do however own the CSI DVD season 1, 2, and 3 (great I'm digressing again) if any part of this seems familiar, it's pure coincidence.
Summary: they're finally together but what happens when their ex comes back to haunt them and things start to fall apart? GSR and MAYBE WCR
A/N: everything I write in this story would be after "Grave Danger" since I have only watched one episode in season six (the one where Brass gets shot) things might not be so accurate. Also, I'm assuming that Ecklie puts the team back together.
Night shift just started and everyone is in the break room. A woman in her thirties looks about the room: a blond woman had just walked through the door after watching her daughter at a school play; a Texan is looking in the fridge wondering why it smells again; an African American is sitting at the table and talking to the Texan; the dirty blond Norwegian pours himself a cup of his favorite Blue Hawaiian coffee.
"Man, this fridge always seems to smell for one reason or another," Nick said while trying to de-smell his lunch.
"Maybe something went bad again. Did you check the milk?" Warrick asked.
"Yeah; it doesn't expire until next week. Something else reeks in here."
Sara smiles at the two men trying to figure out what smells so much in the fridge. Of course she knows what is in there; her boyfriend has once again put one of his experiments in there. She ponders over whether she should tell them. Just as she was about to, the blond spoke.
"Oh yeah. Um…Grissom put parts from pig in there a while ago. I think he is trying to figure out how long it takes for a body to decomp at low temperature," Catherine explained with one of her "typical Grissom again" look.
Nick groaned, "Can't he at least warn us before he does something like that? People actually eat things out of that fridge, you know."
"It's typical Grissom. What did you expect?" Warrick noted.
Just then, the night shift supervisor walks in.
"What is typical me?" Grissom asked.
"O nothing. Just…" Nick started when he was cut off.
"Never mind that for now. Catherine, you and Warrick have a DB at the Venetian hotel. Nick, you have a robbery at 4482 Cherry Lane. Solo. Sara and Greg, you're with me. We have a decomp in a suitcase in the desert. You two go ahead and collect as much as you can at the scene. You can meet Brass there. I'm gonna be in autopsy and see if Doc has a COB or at least a DOB."
After that people started to file out the room.
"After you partner," joked Warrick.
"You're such a gentleman," Catherine said, half sarcastically, half earnestly.
"Alright, solo. Haven't had one of these in a while," Nick says.
"Sara, can I talk to you for a sec before we leave?" Grissom calls out to Sara.
"Sure. Greg, I'll meet you in the car."
"Sure thing."
Soon, Grissom and Sara are alone in the break room. Grissom gives Sara a passionate kiss.
"Well, we could've done that after work."
"I know. I just can't wait that long."
"When exactly are we gonna make this public anyways? I mean, at least the team have a right to know."
"I know, but I'm just not ready yet. Can we wait just a little longer?"
"Fine." Sara turns away from Grissom.
"Wait, I actually wanted to ask if you wanna go to dinner after shift. I know this great new restaurant that just opened"
"Um…I can't today. I'm going to meet some friends who is leaving town tomorrow morning. How bout tomorrow" Sara blushed.
"Sure. I'll see you later then."
"yea"
