Chapter 12 - Pirates Of The Third Reich
SARA:
I went by Grissom's office on my way to my locker to grab my stuff and head home, but he wasn't in there. I figured he would want to leave early after the case with Lady Heather.
We had been talking about past lovers one day a while back and I had brought up her name, out of curiosity. I had heard the rumors, and surprisingly, he told me everything. I had broke down practically all his walls and he was now comfortable enough to talk with me about anything I wanted to know. Anyways, he said he had kissed her but hadn't taken it past that. He felt like she wanted more, but it just didn't feel right to him. He relates to Lady Heather somehow and they had remained friends, but stayed unknown to others for reasons I can understand.
My mind was buzzing when I finally made it to my locker, opening it, I found a note from Grissom. "EYE love you. Sorry I had to cancel lunch. SEE you at home." Oh he's just hilarious. We had a bit of an eye ball situation today, an eye ball transplant and a psycho pirate. And Grissom and I were supposed to meet for lunch, but Lady Heather intercepted him on his way to his car to turn over some evidence she had obtained by sleeping with our suspect. I really don't want to get into details.
GRISSOM:
Before seeing her walking from the morgue today, I hadn't seen Heather in a while. We had lost touch with each other about a year ago. Something changed inside her after her daughter was killed. She is not the same woman I used to know.
I was heading out to my car to go meet Sara for lunch and Heather was waiting by my car for me. She slept with our suspect in order to get a sperm sample. That is beyond fathomable for me to comprehend. She said, "The rage was greater then the repulsion." I looked at her shocked and yet it was also heartbreaking what a mother would do for justice for her daughter. So I just took the sample back to the lab and had to cancel lunch with Sara.
It was a rough day, I needed some air, needed to get out of the stuffy office early. Sara was busy in the lab, I'd heard about her eyeball incident, so I left her a quick note and headed home. How great it is to know Sara is on her way home so that I won't be alone after a day like today. Sitting out on our back porch, Sara finally arrived home and joined me. Looking over at her, we looked like an old married couple sitting in their rocking chairs on their back porch.
I hadn't really talked to Sara much about Lady Heather. I mean nothing had ever happened between us, it almost did, but after a kiss, I had stopped myself. Heather was able to see past my façade and was someone so incredible easy to talk to. We had become good friends after we had met on that case, but no one knew much about it because I feared they would think our relationship was inappropriate, considering her profession. And I'm not like Catherine, it is hard for me to start a relationship with someone we just investigated. I would never love Heather like I loved Sara, but she loved her daughter so much and it pained me to see her hurting.
