Chapter 3
As Sara and Grissom were heading to a dark break room at their once familiar area of working, Grissom heard whispering from the break room.
"Everyone quiet. They're coming," came the whispering from break room. Grissom had problems with his hearing, but the sounds from the black break room were more than obvious. Sara looked at him with a smirk on her face.
"This way Grissom, Sara. Why don't we go check out the break room," Nick said almost shouting for the people in break room to hear him. Catherine and Greg were following closely behind.
When they entered the break room, the lights were turned on.
"Welcome back!" The shouts of their old co-workers filled the air.
There was different color of confetti falling through the air. On the walls of the break room were strings of paper that said Welcome Back. On the table, there was a cake with their friends surrounding it. Brass was there and went to hug Sara and Grissom first.
"It is so great to see you guys. We have missed you," he said with tears in his eyes.
"Is Jim Brass crying," Greg asked from behind the couple.
"Shut up, Greg. I'm just so happy to have you guys back," he said taking Sara in another warm hug.
Langston, Riley and a few other lab techs also greeted the couple. Sara was finally introduced to Riley and Dr. Langston.
"Gil, has told me so much about you both," she said shaking their hands.
"I hope their all good," Langston asked and taking a look at Grissom. Grissom had changed a lot since he left the lab. He seemed happy and more resolved. He was happy with her.
"I brought the noise makers for the surprise," Hodges said running to the break room.
"Too bad buddy you're late," Nick told the lab rat.
"What they didn't show," he said disappointed with a huge box blocking his view from the couple.
"David, we're over here."
"Oh my god, it's you," he dropping the box and running to Grissom and lifting him in a hug.
"Hodges put me down, before I get angry."
"It's good to have you back buddy," he said releasing Grissom from his death grip, to see Sara with her arms crossed.
"Sara did you lose some weight?" He said trying to get her on his good side.
"Good to see you too, Hodges," she said a little irritated.
Hodges smiled at her.
