Conflicting Interests
Chapter 4: Hidden Desire
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. I apologize for anyone who had difficulty reading my aim talk; I thought I got rid of all the aim talks. So sorry
Catherine walks toward Warrick, who is standing in front of a suburban house.
"Hey Warrick, you'll never guess who I just met at the diners. Grissom and Terry were there, together!"
"No way, you mean they are back together?"
"Don't know, but they seemed pretty intimate. But I thought Terry was married?"
"Not any more. I heard that she got divorced recently."
"Poor girl. She must not have said anything to me to keep me from worrying. At least she is with Gil now, not that I think he's much of a boyfriend material."
"You got that right." Warrick turns to ring the doorbell.
When the door opens, a woman in her twenties stands at the door. She wears a tube top with shorts that seems to be way too tight for her.
"Whatever you're selling, we're not buying," the woman says, closing the door.
However, her action was stopped short when Warrick puts his hand on the door.
"We're not solicitors. We're with the LV crime lab. I'm Catherine Willows and this is Warrick Brown. Does a Zach Elliot live here?"
"Yeah, hold on. ZACH, THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE TO SEE YOU." She turned to the pair at the door. "He'll be right down."
A man, no more than 35, appears at the door.
"Hi, what can I do for you?" Zack asks.
"I'm Catherine Willows and this is Warrick Brown. We're with the Las Vegas crime lab. We're here to ask you a few questions."
"Sure, I guess. I've got nothing to hide."
"Where were you the night of May 17?"
"Um…I was here, in my house. You can ask my girlfriend."
"Well do you happen to know a Casey Jones?"
"Yeah, actually. She is my girlfriend's friend. Did something happen to her?"
"Well she died two days ago. Do you know anything about that?"
"O my god. No I don't know anything about that. I just got out of the joint, you think I'm gonna try anything funny?"
"Murder is never funny. So you wanna explain to us how your semen was found on the bed of her hotel room?"
"Well um…about four, five days ago, my girlfriend, Larissa, and Casey and I went out for dinner. After dinner my girlfriend and I were at her hotel room. She went out so we decided to have some fun ourselves before she gets back."
"Right. Mind if we look around your house?"
"Um, no. Go ahead. Do you need us to stay? We kind of have somewhere to be at."
"No you can go ahead and go. We'll leave shortly."
The couple inside steps out as the couple outside steps in.
The CSI's look around the house looking for traces of blood.
"The Doc said she died of lacerations to the lung right?" the African-American asks.
"Yeah. He also said she was raped. Why?"
"Well we got a bloody knife here."
Hank and Sara sit down at the nearest table at the windows. The waitress took their orders and left.
"So Sara, how have you been lately?"
"Good. What about you?"
"Good."
An awkward silence follows.
A few minutes later, Hank speaks, "look Sara I'm really sorry about what happened. I really liked you. But I couldn't just dump Elaine. I mean…"
"It's ok." Sara replies. However that wasn't what Sara wanted to say. She wanted to tell him off. She wanted to yell at him for all the pain he's caused her. But she couldn't bring herself to do it. She couldn't yell at the man she once loved. Once? Is it really over. What are you talking about Sara? He was cheating on you! He betrayed you and he hurt you. You can't love him any more. You just can't. You…can't…right?
"Sara! Are you ok?"
"Hmm…what? O yeah fine."
"Well as I was saying, I really messed up and I wanna make it up to you."
More silence followed. However, this was not an awkward silence. The two looked into each other's eyes. They drew closer and closer and suddenly, their lips met. A few seconds later, Sara broke the kiss abruptly. She realized what she was doing was wrong. She stood up, wiping her lips. She grabs her purse and starts to walk away.
"Sara wait…"
In stead of stopping, Sara keeps walking, fast.
Oh my god! What was that! That should not have happened. I got over him. I used to love him. Not anymore. I don't love him anymore. I can't love him anymore. I hope no one finds out. I hope no one saw that. Sara thinks as she walks to her car.
Unfortunately, someone saw.
A/N: omg someone saw them. Wonder who? I can't believe my chapters are actually getting longer. Yay me. Thanks to all the people who reviewed. I love you all and thank you for loving me. We'll find out how this turns out next chapter. By the way, I'm still not sure about WCR. Vote if you want to see WCR in the next few chapters.
