Disclaimer: See chapter One
A/N: Hey all you gorgeous reviewers, thank you so much for them, made me smile so much:) To answer some of the questions, no, it's not beard burn, but the answer will be revealed in a chapter or two…or three. lol. All the answers of the relationship will also be revealed slowly, I kind of like to drop bits of information in at random places. Someone asked if Sara and Catherine are friends in this fic, and yes, they are. I don't think they were ever not friends, it's more a matter of two very fierce women trying to vie for dominance in a male dominated field. This is another shortie, it's about a page and a half on paper, but I'm trying to write it in the half hour before I have to go to school.

Chapter Three

As Sara approached the crime scene she saw a familiar face, "Hey Ben."
He halted and turned around, a wide grin on his face, "Well if it isn't Miss-All-Berry-Bonanza-Minus-The-Strawberries?"
Sara smiled, catching up with her friend; if that's what you called him. Ben worked at the Smoothie Shack which was located a few blocks from the lab. After tough cases these days, instead of drinking herself to sleep, she'd head over to the Smoothie Shack, grab a smoothie and then go home to Gil.
After a few visits, Ben labeled her a regular and memorized her order. "All Berry Bonanza, minus the strawberries, I'm allergic, I'll die if I eat them." She had over talked the first time she had gone in.
"So, what are you doing here?" Sara asked as they entered the cool air-conditioned building.
"Angela was a regular. Just like you, 'Mango Melt, without the banana.' I guess I just had to see it myself. She was a good kid, always polite and stuck up for our business when her friends told her she was drinking too many calories. Our motto stays true to form, we serve people nothing but the best."
Sara smiled and opened the next set of double doors that led to the crime scene, "Well, I trust you," she walked in ahead of him and ducked under the yellow tape."

"Found anything guys?"
Both Catherine and Nick looked up from UV lights scouring the scene, "Nope," Catherine answered.
"There's nothing out of place here. We checked backstage and nothing there either." Looking past Sara, Nick asked, "Who's that?"
Sara turned to see a sullen looking Ben, "I'm gonna head back to the Shack, I've got Kane watching the place." Sara waved and turned back to Nick, "That's Ben. He works at the Smoothie Shack. Kane's the trainee."
"Ah," Nick said, nodding, "So why was he here?"
"Knew Angela, she's a regular," Sara took a look around the scene, "Really nothing?"
"We even called Grissom in. He's out back at the moment. Hasn't said 'Boo' since we've been here."
"Well, I might go see how's he doing," Sara said, picking up her kit. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Catherine grinning and resisted the urge to hit her as she walked past.
Sara found Gil out the back of the building going through the bins. She watched him pull out a couple of polystyrene cups, look at them and then throw them back into the skip bin. Obviously evidence was lacking everywhere in this case.
Neglecting that path of thought for a moment, she walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder, "Hey Griss."
"Sara," he greeted in reply, smiling at he sight of her, "How are your legs?"
"OK," she turned her head away for a split second, almost chickening out but then flicked her eyes back to him, "Catherine knows."
