Catherine, Warrick and Greg all took a break at the same time. Greg was in the process of making some more coffee.
"We're CSI's we should be able to figure this out." Catherine stated.
"Let's look at what we know." Warrick suggested.
"It's someone who works in this building, someone we know." Catherine said.
"Archie knows who it is." Greg poured the coffee.
"He does?" Warrick questioned.
"He said it was pretty easy to figure out."
"Well I know it's not me, or you." Warrick said.
"It's not Archie or Hodges either." Greg added.
"Or Grissom." Catherine stated.
"Who does that leave?" Warrick asked.
"Bobby D, David?"
"David is already engaged." Catherine pointed out.
"Is that fresh coffee Greg?" Grissom asked walking in.
"Just made it." Greg replied.
"Good." Grissom stated. "How are your cases going?"
"Our vic was too doped up to have fallen out of the chair by herself someone had to have pushed her." Warrick said. "We have some smudge marks on the rims of the tires. Nick swabbed the tires for DNA given how the chair would have to have been pushed to end up in the position it did. We're waiting for Mia to get back to us with the results. We haven't been able to find out any reason anyone would want to kill her as of yet. No life insurance policies, no medical reasons, she didn't have more than a few thousand dollars in the bank."
"Keep working on it." Grissom pour himself some coffee.
"We're stalling too, nothing in our vics background suggests a reason for him to be killed, but it was definitely premeditated." Catherine said. "The killer had a device to block out the security cameras so they wouldn't have been seen."
"Archie couldn't find anyone following him in the lobby, but there were a lot of people mulling around." Greg added.
"We have a weapon but no fingerprints or DNA on our killer."
"But given how much he bled out, the person is going to have been covered in blood." Greg said.
"So you're all taking a break to collect your thoughts." Grissom surmised.
"Yes." Catherine replied.
"And trying to figure out who Sara is engaged to."
"You still haven't figured it out?" Grissom questioned.
"No. We know it's someone who works here."
"How many people here is Sara close to that aren't in this room?" Grissom asked.
"Nick." Warrick said.
"How long have you known?" Catherine asked.
"I've known they were together for the past few months, but since it wasn't affecting their work and they are keeping it out of the lab there was no need to mention anything. I have to get back to work."
"Did Nick say anything to you?" Greg asked Warrick.
"Only that Sara had mentioned something about seeing someone. Why would they keep it a secret? We'd be happy for them." Warrick wondered.
"Probably to start with in case it didn't work out. Then they knew we'd comment on it. Beside none of us apart from Grissom noticed, and he's the one who is usually oblivious to human interaction." Catherine pointed out.
"You know now perhaps we can have a little fun." Greg remarked.
"What are you suggesting Greggo?" Warrick inquired.
"That we convince Nick we figured out who Sara engaged to, let's say for example Hodges and that we're very happy for them and that they make a great couple. That they'll have cute kids."
"Very sneaky Greggo. I like it." Warrick agreed.
"What are you going to say to Sara?" Catherine asked.
"Nothing." Greg replied.
"He knows she'll kick his ass if he does."
"Very true."
"And you think Nick won't?" Catherine asked.
"Sara likes me, she'll protect me."
"She might come down on Nick's side." Catherine pointed out.
"That's a chance we'll have to take."
Warrick's pager went off.
"DNA. I've got to go. Hodges right?"
"Hodges." Greg confirmed.
