Chapter 2
She ran out of the building and off to her car. Climbing in and speeding off up the street, ignoring the shouts from Nick who was now concerned as to why she would be leaving the building so quickly.
'Please let him be okay, please.' was all Sara could think of as she was driving to the crime scene, Grissom and Sofia were attending.
Nick stood there wondering what was going on. He reached for his cell and dialed her number. "Hey Sara, it's Nicky. Just wanted to check everything's okay?" he paused. "You rushed out of here so fast. Please call me back when you get this message." he ended the call. "I better call Griss, maybe he knows what's going on," he said while dialing Grissom's cell.
At the crime scene, Grissom was wondering how Sofia managed to get to be a CSI. 'She's useless at clearing a scene, keeps missing key bits of evidence', his thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
He pulled the phone from his belt and answered, "Grissom"
"Oh hey Griss, It's Nick. Sorry to call you at a scene, but I don't suppose you have heard from Sara have you?" Trying to sound as calm as possible, knowing that this could cause panic if he has not heard from her.
"No I haven't Nick." He paused as he desperately tried to hide the worry in his voice. "What's going on? What happened? Is she okay?"
"I'm not sure. One minute she was fine, annoyed that were getting nowhere with our case. She was getting coffee and having a break. I needed to get some air so I took a break outside. Next thing I know, Sara charges out of the building, jumps into her car and speeding off down the street."
'That is odd', Grissom thought to himself. 'That doesn't sound like Sara. I hope everything's okay' "Have you tried calling her?" he kept thinking 'stay calm, I am sure she is fine. Probably had a run in with Ecklie or Catherine.'
"Yeah, just rings then goes to voicemail" Nick replied
"Okay, I'll try and get hold of her. Try not to panic just yet. I am sure there is an explanation for it. Were on our way back soon, so I'll meet you back at the lab"
"Okay Griss, See you soon".
As soon as Nick was off the line, Grissom immediately dialed Sara's number.
He sighed when it went to voicemail. "Hey Sara", he paused, trying to hold his emotions together "Its Grissom. I have just been talking to Nicky. Ermm.. I am concerned about why you would rush off like that. Please call me as soon as you get this message." He paused yet again. "Please Sara, I am worried about you. We have finished with the crime scene; Greg is loading up the evidence so we will be heading back soon. My cell is on if you need me. If you need anything, okay. Just call me. I hope that I will talk to you soon. Gil."
Placing his cell phone back onto his belt, he walked over to Greg. "How's it going?"
"Almost done boss, just a one or two more trips," Greg replied eagerly.
Grissom looked around "Where's Sofia now" then he saw her, chatting to the police officers securing the scene. Turning back to Greg, "Has she helped you at all?"
"No, not really. But I rather she didn't" Greg replied honestly.
"I can't have her on my team, I need people I can trust and rely on." He let out a loud sigh. "Greg I need to get back to the lab, something's come up and I need to get back." He paused "It concerns Sara."
Greg instantly stopped what he was doing "Sara? Is she okay? What happened?"
Grissom interrupted "I don't know Greg, she just rushed out of the lab, and no one can get hold of her."
Greg instantly replied, "Well you got to get back, find out if she's okay. I'll just get the rest of this evidence loaded up, and back to the lab."
Grissom looked back at Sofia and the police officers.
Greg continued, "Please can you take her with you," pointing towards Sofia. "I had enough of her on the drive here. She turned off my music, and told me if I continued singing I would be in for a long walk back to the lab."
"I don't know Greg; I can't leave you alone at a scene." Grissom replied.
"Okay, I'll go and get the rest of the stuff now, and we can be on our way."
Grissom nodded. Greg continued "But seriously, can she go with you?"
"Okay Greg, I'll take her back to the lab." He began to walk over to her, he turned back to Greg "Or maybe I should let her walk" then he turned and continued in the direction of Sofia.
"Sofia, what exactly are you doing?" Grissom asked, while still approaching where she was standing.
"Just chatting to these nice officers." she smiled sweetly at Grissom.
He shuddered. "We need to get back to the lab as soon as possible."
She said her goodbyes to the officers, and walked towards Grissom "Well why don't you go, and I'll get a lift with Greg. I am sure he has this thing for me."
"A thing?" he said looking confused. Sofia opened her mouth to say something but he continued, "Greg has all the evidence in his SUV, there's no room. So you're with me." 'Never in a million years' he thought.
They made their way to the SUV, Grissom checking that Greg was ready to go too, and they left the crime scene to get back to lab.
During their journey back to the lab, all Grissom could think about was figuring out what happened to Sara. His thoughts were disturbed by Grissom's cell phone ringing.
Immediately he answered, "Grissom"
"Hey Griss, its Greg. I was just letting you know, I left my shades and jacket at the crime scene."
Grissom let out a sign "Okay Greg, we can quickly turn back and get them" he replied, slightly annoyed. 'I need to get back for Sara'.
Greg remembering about Sara "Griss don't worry about coming back, I'm here now. I'll ensure I lock the SUV. I'll literally be two seconds, in and out. You need to get back. Has there been any news?"
"No, nothing. Okay just ensure you lock the SUV, because the evidence could be compromised if you do not. No hanging about either, like you just said 'in and out'."
"Okay Boss, I'll call you when I'm back on the road" Greg replied, and ended the call.
Grissom placed his phone in his pocket.
"Who was that?" Sofia asked looking at Grissom.
"Greg, he left his jacket and shades at the crime scene. He was letting me know he was quickly going to pop back and get them." Grissom replied, not even looking at her.
"God, that kid is so dumb. I will never know how he managed to make it as a CSI" She added, smugly.
Grissom could not believe that she, of all people could say that about another CSI, before he had the chance to put her right, she flipped out her phone and made a call.
So Grissom then turned his thoughts back again to Sara, his Sara.
