The Real Estate Giveaway
Disclaimer: I do not own in any capacity any part of CSI or the characters much to my dismay. If I did, Grissom would be shacking up with Sara every night. I do admit to having an active imagination…
CHAPTER 2
Jeff pulled into the driveway of 1423 Davis Drive and saw a couple standing near the fence. He checked his watch to make sure that he wasn't running late, and breathed a sigh of relief to see that it wasn't him that was late, but the couple that was a few minutes early – 20 to be exact.
He sat in the car a moment as he gathered up his notes and packed his pockets with the things he needed for the first showing – a facts-sheet, his master key for the lock-box, a tape measure, pad of paper and a few business cards, all the while making mental notes about the couple.
They were white, a graying man andyounger brunette holding hands - the man cupping his hand over his eyes as he leaned to the fence, a wedding band visible. Through the cracks,glistening of water could be seen. They had picked one of the few spots that didn't have vegetation growing to stand – courteous in his book. No children in tow, Jeff noted. He got out of the car and the couple turned to meet his greeting.
After formalities and introductions had been made, Jeff found himself liking the couple who obviously were at ease with one another. They took a quick outdoor tour of the front part of the house and found the gate to the pool area secure – and the gentleman found this to be comforting.
Jeff walked up to the front door and inserted his key into the lockbox, extracting the house key. He unlocked the door and swung it open wide, looking back and smiling at the couple.
But then his face turned to one of disgust.
"What on earth?" he exclaimed as a putrid stench filled his nose and a few flies exited past him.
Grissom responded, "Looks like someone else got here first.."
