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 5
Warrick passed the days coroner as he approached the house, and asked a nearby officer the best way to get to the back pool area. He rounded the house and opened the gate – and then he entered an alternate universe.
Standing by the edge of the pool stood Grissom in profile. Warrick first thought he was there to process the scene – after all, there were reports of insects. But then he realized that there was no field kit. And then it hit him. Mr. & Mrs. Grissom were here to look at the house. Grissom was married?
He looked puzzled, and finally mummered, "Gris?" Grissom turned to face him and looked relieved to see a familiar face.
And then she stood up and came into focus. Warrick stopped in his tracks, totally confused.
"Hey, 'Rick. Guess you've been tapped to help days."
Warrick looked then at Sara and then back to Grissom, not quite understanding what was going on. "But…"
Grissom said softly, "Allow me to introduce you to my better half, Sara Grissom. We were here to see a house and instead have gotten tangled in a death investigation. Warrick, I need you to focus and do your job. Take our statements and process the scene. We'll talk about this later."
"But…"
"No buts. Hit autopilot and get this show on the road."
