Conflicting Interests
Chapter 3: Old Friends, New Intentions
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.
"O'Riley, what do we have here?" Nick asks as he walks into the house.
"This is the Andersons' house. They called in a robbery at around six. They say that someone broke into their house while they were out to dinner and stole all their jewelry."
"All they took was jewelry? I mean look at these paintings, they've gotta worth at least a grand each. And that computer over there. You can't find computers like that at Walmart.
"Maybe all they can carry were small stuff like rings and necklaces." O'Riley retorted.
"Well then why go for the one in the safe when there are easier ones right here by the door? These seem to be pretty expensive. I smell a rat."
"Hey, it's your crime scene."
"Yeah."
"Terry, what are you doing here?" Grissom asks his guest.
"Well I was just here to see if you're interested in going to breakfast with me." Terry Miller answers.
"I would love to, but what about your husband? Isn't he gonna be…" Grissom starts before he was cut off.
"We got divorced about a week ago."
"Terry I am so sorry. Why don't we talk bout it over breakfast?"
"Thanks Gil."
"What do you want from me Hank?" Sara snaps at his visitor.
"Aww don't be like that. I just wanted to know if you want to go for a cup of coffee." Hank says with a feigned hurt look.
"Cut the crap. What ever happen to your girlfriend?"
"Who, Elaine? We were never that serious. I mean she was getting too much for me."
"So she broke up with you," Sara smirks.
Hank, wincing at that comment, "no she did not break up with me," He defended. "We just decided that we weren't meant for each other, that's all."
"Uh-huh, so she broke up with you," Sara retorts, with a bigger smile now.
Hank, getting angry, says, "Don't be so cold. Why don't we go catch up over some coffee?"
"Like I'll ever go do ANYTHING with you."
"Look I just wanted to be friends with you again. I don't want us to hate each other forever."
Although Sara knew that she shouldn't, a part of her really wanted to go with him. It's just two friends having coffee right? It means nothing. It's not like I have feelings for him or anything. Sara thought.
"Fine I'll go with you, but only as friends." Sara says skeptically.
"Sure sure, as friends." Hank says with a smirk.
"Hey Mia, did you get a match on that semen sample we found on the bed?" Warrick Brown says as he walks into the DNA lab.
"Hey Warrick, I did get a match actually. I ran the DNA through CODIS and it gave me a name. The donor is Zach Elliot. He was convicted for robbery two years ago. He was released last week." The new lab tech replies.
"Nice, I guess I gotta go see Mr. Elliot and see if he's got any recent girlfriends. I'll see you later."
"See ya."
"So what happened?" The man asks as the two were seated at a booth.
"We just didn't seem to work. We keep finding thing we don't agree on. Soon it turned into fighting almost everyday. The kids are getting scared so we decided that a divorce is probably the best for them."
"Oh I'm so sorry."
"Don't be. It wasn't your fault. Well, not completely that is…" suddenly realizing she said something she shouldn't have, Terry stops talking immediately.
"Excuse me? What did you mean 'not completely'? You mean I had a part in this?" Grissom asks, confused.
"Well, it's just that I guess I never got over you. I mean, I thought that after our dinner fiasco, I didn't have anymore feelings for you. But…I guess…I still do…" Terry says as she looks away.
"Well I…" before Grissom finishes, he was interrupted.
"Grissom, funny seeing you here," Catherine says as she walks in the diner.
"Catherine! Wut are you doing here? Whatever happened to the DB at Venetian?" Grissom questions.
"Well I just came in here for some food before I go to interview a suspect with Warrick. What are you doing here…with…Terry! Hi Terry, I didn't realize it was you. How have you been?"
"Hey Catherine. I'm doing fine." Terry lies, not wanting Catherine to eat with them.
"That's great. Look Gil I have to go meet Warrick. I'll see you in the office tomorrow."
"Yeah sure I'll see you tomorrow."
A/N: She knows. Oooooooo. How will things turn out with Terry and Grissom? And what happens to Hank and Sara? Stay tuned and find out.
