"COD?"
"No outward signs, I sent her stomach contents to Tox. I'll know more after the post. I'm just a little backed up with David on vacation."
"You'll get through them."
"Thanks Sara," Robbins called out as Sara left the morgue to find Catherine.
There was no evidence in this case. Nothing on the victim, nothing at the crime scene; their whole case revolved around what was in those stomach contents and on Al Robbins' post mortem findings.
"Hey Sara. How was the autopsy?" Catherine asked, catching up with the younger woman walking towards the locker room.
"Incomplete. Robbins is backed up."
"Well, Nick's headed back over to the crime scene to see if there's anything we missed, I might go over too if there's nothing to work with here."
"What about the tapes we pulled from the camera crew?"
"I've just been with Archie. There's nothing in them, just the girl collapsing."
"Damn. Well, I might head over with you too. But," they entered the locker room and Sara sat down, "I was wondering if you could take a look at this first." She rolled up her pants leg to her knee, show casing the raw red rash that was in splotches down the lower half of her legs.
Catherine crouched down next to her, looking at the rash curiously, "Have you asked Gil to take a look? It could be a spider bite."
"He's seen it, he didn't say anything about bugs or spiders though."
"When did he see it?" she inquired, looking up from Sara's leg.
"This evening, before shift," she answered quickly. Grissom and herself had discussed how best to let the team know. This had not been on the list, "I was just wondering if you'd ever seen anything like this before? You know, maybe while you were pregnant or something. I hear that your hormones can cause things like this to happen."
Catherine had stopped listening at the word 'pregnant'. She reached up and hugged Sara, "No wonder Gil's been so happy lately," she pulled back smiling, "Does he know yet?"
Sara was blushing something shocking by this point, "Yeah, I told him yesterday."
"How far along?"
"About ten weeks. But Cath, please tell me you've seen this rash before."
Focusing back on the topic at hand she said, "I'm really sorry, but I haven't. But I'm sure it'll go away, they always do."
Sara nodded, still a bit worried, but she couldn't help but find herself smiling when Catherine pulled her in for another hug.
