Behind The Scenes

Chapter 29 – Redrum

SARA:

Well, Grissom's been gone two weeks and just when I thought things weren't going to work out between us, that we've hit a wall, that we were both too stubborn for our own good, Grissom sends me a stick in the mail. Yeah, it was so Grissom. There's actually a cocoon attached to the stick, but when I pulled it out of that box addressed to me, from Grissom, I just had to smile. I even dug farther into the box, hoping to find something, anything, a letter, a note, a diamond ring, but who am I kidding, it was the perfect Grissom gift. First he gave me a plant and now a stick, what could be next?

Anyways, at work, things are getting down right dirty. That skank Catherine and that creep Keppler both went against the rest of the team and did this reverse forensics thing and created a fake crime scene behind our backs today and is really pissed me off. I mean, I joined forces with Nick, Greg and Warrick and risked my job to find out what was going on. I even had to sneak into Grissom's office and into his desk to steal a key to the temporary lockers where Catherine was hiding the evidence from us.

We of course, being excellent CSIs, figured out what was going on and confronted them and they finally cracked down and told us everything, but Catherine kinda just blew us off and acted like it was nothing. Nick was especially pissed off for being lied too and deceived like that. Catherine said it was all to catch a killer, but I was so mad I had nothing to say to her.

Hodges' theory is that Keppler is here in the lab as a mole or something to spy on us. "Ten to one, it's Internal Affairs. Got a vibe off Keppler the minute he blew in. Always with a suit. If you got any dirty laundry, I hope you used bleach," is actually what he said, while I was carrying my gift from Grissom, my supervisor who I'm in a relationship with, thru the lab and toward the locker room.

GRISSOM:

This is the longest I have ever gone without seeing Sara since she moved to Las Vegas. I sent my cocoon present to her last week and I await hearing from her. I imagine her walking thru the halls at work with the package in her arms, so excited about what I had sent her and glad to know that I still love her even from this far away. I had triple checked the address to make sure I got it right, I wanted to make sure she got this gift from me.

Sara Sidle, 3057 Westfall Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89156

And I wanted to also make sure I included my current address for to next two weeks, just incase she wanted to send me a letter or come surprise me with a visit.

Grissom, Walden Pond Research Center, Concord, MA 01742-4511

I was a little worried she wouldn't like it or wouldn't understand, but after she threatened to take a long leave of absence and I sent her a plant, she stayed, and we weren't even in a relationship together back then. I still haven't called her, I really don't know what I'd say, plus I'd rather that she called me first. Is that bad of me?
