Chapter 3

The Club

Arriving at the club, Sara quickly spotted Nick and Warrick holding down a table. Woody and Jordan followed her over and introductions were quickly made.

"So Jordan, tell us…what was Sara like in college?" Nick asked leaning back in his hair. He could already see Sara starting to bury her head in her hands.

"Not so fast there Nick," Jordan responded, "I think that we might to wait until everyone else gets here. I have a feeling that you're not the only one that wants to know."

Sara looked up silently thanking her friend. She knew that the stories wouldn't be put off for forever, but it was nice to have a little more time before rehashing her college past.

Not long after Greg arrived, Grissom phoned with his apologies that he would in fact not be able to attend so they were only waiting for Catherine. Jordan was constantly looking around for someone who fit the blonde's description that she had been given. Glancing over her shoulder one last time someone caught her eye. She turned around, however was trying not to look to obvious, to inspect the blonde.

'Yep, this has to be her.' Jordan thought to herself. The woman sauntered toward them in a low cut black top and hip hugging jeans. Her blue eyes sparkled as she brushed a lock of hair out of her face.

"Hey guys. Sorry I'm late." Catherine said as she sat down at her table. "I'm Catherine." She said introducing herself. Jordan accepted the hand that was extended toward her as she thought to herself, 'Damn. I can see what Sara sees in her. She's gorgeous!'

"So, now that everyone's here," Nick said rubbing his hands together, "I think it is finally time to hear a little more about our Sara."

"Not so fast Nicky my boy, first we have told order," Sara told him as she thrusted a menu in his face. Nick's face dropped as he begrudgingly opened up the menu and scanned its contents.

They made small talk as they all decided what to eat – Jordan and Woody's flight, the wedding plans, cases that the team had currently closed. As the waitress left their table, Sara sat back in her chair,

"Alright guys, I guess it is finally time for all the stories that you seem to be dying to hear." She smirked that this made Nick suddenly sit up right. "Where would you like us to start?" Jordan asked.

"We'll make it easy on you," Greg spoke up, "How'd you guys meet?"

Sara and Jordan looked at each other as if to ask, 'Do you want to start?' Finally Jordan decided to take the reigns.

"Well, I am originally from Boston. Born and raised. After high school I went to medical school at Tufts University in Cambridge. One weekend I was home visiting my father when some old friends decided to go out for a drink. It wasn't long before my friends separated off with different people that they met there so I was at the bar by myself trying to get a drink when this very, very drunk man came up to me and kept trying to buy me a drink. He would just not back off."

"Which is where I came in." Sara told them jumping into the story, "I had had a particularly hard day at school and Jordan just so happened to be at the bar that I went to to unwind. I had a booth in the back all to myself where I would have a few drinks before heading home. I had just gone back up to the bar to get another drink when I saw this creep hitting on Jordan."

"So as this guy is giving me one bad pick up line after another, I feel a pair of arms slip around my waist. And whose head pops up around my shoulder? Sara's. She's has two beers in her hand and she says, 'Hey honey, I've got a booth in the back for us let's go.' I was so desperate to get out of there so I played along."

"I lead her back to my booth where we pretended to be together until the creeper left the bar."

Greg, who had a huge smile on his face, was obviously enjoying the story. "Did you guys make out?"

Nick instantly reached over and smacked Greg on the back of the head before either brunette even had a chance to answer. "Thank you Nick," Sara said before she moved on, "No Greg, there was no kissing. We just held hands and…"

"Snuggled." Jordan finished.

"So you pretended to be a lesbian just to get this guy away from her?" Warrick asked.

"Who said I was pretending?" The words flew out of her mouth before she could even process what she saw saying leaving coworkers as well as herself shocked.

"You're…" Greg could barely get the question out of his mouth he was surprised as well as heartbroken.

"Yes, guys. I am gay. You really didn't know?" She was trying to play off the situation to make it seem like she had meant to out herself.

"No." "Never." "No idea." Came the responses from the group.

"What about everything between you and Grissom?" Catherine asked. She had been relatively quiet throughout the whole conversation but finally decided to speak up.

"Ew! There is nothing between Grissom and me! Why does everyone think that? We are old friends, he is a mentor – that is it!"

"I don't know…there just seemed to always be something between the two of you." Nick tried to explain.

"Well, anyway," Jordan jumped in helping to change the subject which Sara was very grateful for, "now that you know how we met and that Sara is gay…what else would you like to know." She could sense that Greg was about to ask another question about the new knowledge of Sara's sexuality so she quickly added, "About our friendship."

A while later, Sara and Jordan found themselves alone at the table. Warrick had left early to run a few errands before their shift began, Nick and Greg were off working the group of girls crowded around the bar and Woody had taken Catherine out to the dance floor.

"You've got a great group here Sara." Jordan told her friend as she finished off her drink.

"Yeah, I like 'em. I think I will keep them around for a while." She smiled.

"I bet, especially a certain someone."

"Shut up!" Sara exclaimed while hitting Jordan on the arm, "What do you think of her?"

Jordan didn't even have to think before responding, "I think she is great! She seems nice, she's hot, if I were gay I would do her." Her last comment got her another smack on the arm.

"Yeah, she is," the CSI agreed, "Too bad she's straight."

"I don't know, Sara. I think that there is definitely a part of her that likes girls."

"Oh please, Jo, don't get my hopes up. You haven't seen her around men."

"But you didn't see the look in her eye when she found out you are gay."

Sara had to swallow her drink quickly before spitting it out all over the table. "What?" She didn't want to get her hopes up that something actually could happen between her and Catherine but Jordan's news did seem promising. She was always good at reading people.

"I don't know how to describe it, but her eyes seemed to light up when you told everyone you were into girls." Jordan wished that she could describe things more clearly.

Sara was about to ask Jordan more questions when Greg and Nick came back to the table. "How's it going boys?" Sara inquired.

"I got a number," Nick said tucking a napkin into his pocket, "but Greggo here struck out."

"Aw, poor Greggo." Sara said patting him on the head.

"It's ok," He told them, "I don't think I am ready to love again since I have found out that I will never have a chance with my one true love."

Sara rolled her eyes, knowing that he was talking about her. "Don't worry Greg. I know that you will be able to let go someday."

"I gotta tell you though Sara, I think there is a girl at the bar over there that is your type. You should go for it." Nick said trying to point her out.

"Oh no, you're not gonna try to set me up again are you. You now understand why I never went out with any guys you suggested but this does not mean that you can start setting me up with girls."

"Oh come up Sara. We just want you to be happy. Check her out, she is the brunette…"

"I like blondes." Sara said cutting him off. She really needed to start thinking before she opened her mouth.

She was saved from more questioning by Woody and Catherine arriving back at the table.

"Hello Beautiful," Woody greeted Jordan as he kissed her on the forehead. "You two catching up?"

"Yep, catching up…learning new things." Jordan smiled.

"I hate to break up the party guys, but it's about time we head out. Shift starts in less then half an hour." Catherine said picking up her purse.

Sara glanced at her watch, "Damn you're right. I guess we should get going. Do you guys want me to drop you back at my place or are you going to hit the strip from here?"

"I think we're going to walk down the strip for a while. See where things take us." Jordan said as she rose from the table.

The group made their way out of the building and to their cars. Woody and Jordan waved goodbye to everyone as they drove away before linking their hands together and making their way down to the strip.

"Alright Jordan, what are you planning?" Woody asked nervously.

"What are you talking about?" Jordan tried to seem innocent but knew it wasn't working. It was times like this that she hated that he knew her so well.

"Come on, Jo. I know that something is going around in that pretty little head of yours. You have that look in your eye."

"I want to try to get Catherine and Sara together."

"Oh Lord," Woody sighed. "What makes you think that that would work?"

"I can just tell ok. We know how Sara feels and after seeing Catherine's reaction tonight, I think that they have a chance."

"What do you plan on doing?"

"I have a few things up my sleeve." She smiled.

"That's what makes me worried."
