Conflicting Interests

Chapter 2: Surprise Visits

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.

"Not much out here. How exactly do we collect ANYTHING here?" The young man says in frustration with his camera in his hand.

"Just look for anything out of ordinary. Things that you don't usually find in a desert," Sara explains while picking up some fiber that may be part of the suitcase.

"Well unless these sands are out of ordinary, nothing seems to be weird. And besides that it's hot as hell out here."

"Stop complaining. But you're right."

"I…I am?"

"Yeah. I'd say this is just a dump site. The primary is probably else where. Let's head back and see what Grissom got."

"Hey Doc, what have you got?" Grissom asked as he walks into the autopsy room.

Dr. Robbins is one of two people that Grissom actually told about him and Sara. The other one is Brass, his best friend.

"Well, not much, considering that most of the body has already decomposed. I can tell you that you're vic is male and this John Doe died of lacerations to the chest approximately a month ago. There are indentations in the third and fifth rib which suggest that he was stabbed. I can't really tell you what kind of weapon it is though."

"That's ok. I guess we'll have to find out who this John Doe is first and go from there. Thanks Doc."

"No problem. And I hope you have a nice date wit Sara."

"I will."

"Hey Vega, what have we got?" The blond asked as she walk toward the hotel room.

"Hey Catherine. Meet Casey Jones, eleven. She was a guest at this hotel. She supposedly checked out yesterday. The maid came in to clean out the room for the next guest and found her on the bed; called 911 immediately." Vega answered.

"How can she still be here after she checked out? I thought the keys don't work once you checked out." Warrick inquires.

"She checked out via her TV. It's the newest in hotel technology. Allows the guests to check out in their room and not go through the long lines at the front desk."

"Well looks like she never left the room. All of her luggage is still here." Catherine noted.

The duo decided to start looking around for evidence. They checked every square inch of every corner for the tiniest hint of evidence. After collecting many bags of evidence, they decided to head back.

The shift had just ended, and Grissom was just about to head home. He had come up with nothing conclusive about the case. Sara and Greg weren't able to get much evidence since there wasn't much evidence to be collected. The case was at a dead end.

As he drives toward home, he starts to think about his date with Sara the next day. He had just found this vegetarian restaurant that he just knows Sara would love.

Arriving at his door, Grissom sees the one person he least expected to see.

"Hi Gil. Did u miss me?" a blond asks as Grissom stares in shock.

Sara was in the evidence room since she got back from the scene. After hours of looking at photos and processing evidence, she finds herself looking at a dead end. She decided that she is way too tired to be processing and thinks that she will be able to work better if she get some sleeps.

As she walks toward the parking lot, she reaches into her pocket to get her keys. When she raised her head again, she sees the last person on earth she wanted to see.

"Hey baby."

A/N: DUN DUN DUN…who are they! I bet some of you probably already know who I'm talking about. For those of you who haven't figured it out, you'll just have to read on and find out.
