I Do Not Own CSI


"What's on," Sara asked as she and Catherine strolled into the break room. Jim and Grissom were still in their meeting with the sheriff and no new cases had come in, so now they were just trying to keep themselves busy.

"Seinfeld," Greg answered never taking his eyes from the screen.

"Which episode," Catherine asked.

"'The Contest', you know that episode," Nick said, laughing.

"Wait, is that the one where they see who can go the longest without masterb…"

"Yes, Sara, that's the one."

"Oh, I love that episode," she said, taking a seat beside Greg on the couch, where he put an arm around her shoulder.

"Greg, stop hitting on Griss' wife," Nick said, chuckling .

"I'm not hitting on Sara, Nick, I'm just being a friend."

"Guys, shh, let's watch the show," Sara shushed out as everyone turned their attention back to the TV.


"Man, I could so hold out longer than you," Greg said to Nick.

"No way, man, I have self control. I give you two days. I could hold out longer," Nick said.

"Care to make a wager on that?"

"How much?"

"Hundred bucks, Warrick you want in?"

"Nah, man."

"Ah, you're just scared of finally losing a bet," Greg teased.

"Fine I'm in, I can hold out longer than both of you."

"What about you, Sara, you in," Nick asked.

"Nope"

"You scared of losing, too?"

"Nick, I'm pregnant."

"What's pregnancy got to do with it," Nick asked, making Catherine snort in laughter.

"Nick, I can't wait until the day you're married and have a baby on the way."

"Why?"

"Nick, let me put this simply, some women, when they're pregnant, lose their sex drive, don't feel comfortable with it," Catherine started.

"The other half of women are the complete opposite. For them, sex is so much better than it was before. You're already pregnant so you don't have to worry about birth control, and you can let more of your inhibitions fly. And let's just say I fall into the latter category. Plus, I'm still a newlywed, why would I give up sex?," Sara said as Jim and Grissom came into the room as Sara finished her sentence.

"Glad to know you're still getting some, Grissom. My ex cut me off at the second month of her pregnancy," Jim said with a laugh.

"Why are we talking about our sex life," Grissom asked, sitting down at the table.

"We just finished watching "Seinfeld". You know the one about masterb-"

"I got it, Greg," Grissom said with his hand up.

"And we have a little bet of our own going on to see who can go the longest. Hey, wanna join, Griss?"

"No, he doesn't, Greg," Sara answered for him.

"Looks like Sara spoke for you there, Gil," Catherine snickered out.

"It's ok, I don't really want to join."

"Jim, you in," Nick asked.

"Nope, I don't want any part of your bets."

"Catherine," Warrick asked.

"Sorry, I'm out, but you guys have fun," she said, turning her attention to Jim and Gil.

"So your meeting, how'd it go?"

"You want to start, Jim," Gil asked as Sara came to sit beside Gil. The boys all came to sit around the table.

"As of next week, I will no longer be grave supervisor."

"What?"

"No way!"

"Why?"

"Did you get fired?"

"Hold on, one question at a time! No, I did not get fired. I got transferred to homicide captain. The sheriff wants me back on police duty."

"When do you go, Jim," Sara asked.

"Next week"

"So who's taking over your spot then, Jim," Warrick asked.

"Gil"

"Grisssom, you actually took over."

"Like Jim I didn't have much of a choice."

"Not to make this about me or anything but the rule book is pretty clear, we can't be on the same shift anymore, where am I going," Sara asked quietly.

"Nowhere, you stay on grave," Gil said, squeezing her hand.

"But"

"We worked it out," Grissom said.

"More like Gil threatened to quit," Jim said, making mouths drop.

"You didn't," Sara said.

"Also said you would walk with him, Sara," Jim added.

"I would, but I usually like to be made aware of the fact that I may want to quit."

"Sorry, honey, it was kind of spur of the moment. But it worked, you stay on this shift."

"So how are evaluations going to go now? That's basically the main reason you two have to be of the same rank, and Gil can't be Sara's supervisor," Catherine asked.

"I am going to be doing all of your evaluations," Gil started.

"But," Warrick said.

"But you are also going to be helping me."

"How so?"

"Well, what we're going to do is basically draw names. Whose ever name you pick you will be doing a separate evaluation for that person. But it has to stay anonymous. This way when I hand in my evaluations the sheriff can compare and hopefully see that I am not biased and treating Sara or anyone of you differently," Gil finished.

"And the sheriff actually agreed to that," Catherine asked.

"He had no choice, Catherine. Once I brought up the fact that if I left all my grants would leave also he was pretty much ready to give me anything I wanted."

"See, I knew you could play politics if you really tried," Sara said with a smile.

"We're going to miss you around here, Jim," Nick said.

"I'll still be around. I'm working grave on the other side, too. So I'll still see you at crime scenes. It's not like I'm disappearing, we can still get together and go for breakfast. The only difference is you won't have me to bust your chops around here anymore."

"No, now we get Grissom for that," Warrick said.

"I mean, if someone had to replace you, Jim, I think I speak for all of us when I say we're glad it's Grissom."

"Thanks, guys."

"How about breakfast, I'm starved," Sara said.

"I'm with Sara, breakfast, I'm craving waffles," Greg agreed.

"Oh, those sound really good, with strawberries and whip cream on top, too," Sara almost moaned out.

"Yeah, Gil, I can see why Sara wouldn't let you join the bet," Catherine said with a snicker.
