Two posts within 2 days...thank God for summer vacation!

"How do you expect to get them in there by themselves? Anyone else could get in there with them and it would mess everything up." Woody asked as they entered the Montecito security room with Danny.

"We've got Samantha taking care of it. She is going to be standing in the lobby asking guests to take surveys. She knows not to let anyone else on with them." Danny explained. "I gotta tell you Jordan I am happy that someone is finally trying to get them together. We could all tell that there was something between those two whenever they came in here on their cases. It was getting ridiculous."

"Yeah well, Sara just needs a kick in the ass from time to time. Thanks for helping us out."

"Anything for you Jo." Danny said with a smile.

Jordan couldn't help but laugh to herself when she felt Woody's arm slipped around her waist at Danny's comment.

"There they are." Danny said directing everyone's attention to one of the many security screens.

Catherine and Sara entered the Montecito hotel not long after the end of their shift. "Hey Sam." The women greeted the Casino staff member when they found her by the elevator.

"Hey ladies how've you been?" Sam asked as she watched the CSIs press the 'Up' button on the panel.

"You know same old same old. One case after another." Catherine answered. It wasn't very long before the car arrived and the doors opened.

"You guys have fun." Sam smirked as the two women stepped inside. Sara was slightly confused by Sam's comment but decided not to inquire further as she pressed the button for the 18th floor and waited for the doors to close.

"Hold the elevator!" Both women heard the man's frantic voice as he ran towards the elevator. Catherine tried to stick her hand between the doors to stop them from closing but wasn't fast enough when Samantha stepped into the man's path and began to ask him questions.

"Good girl, Sam." Danny said when he saw the woman step into the guest's way to prevent him from getting onto the elevator. "How far do you want them to get?" Danny said turning to his Boston friends.

Jordan just smiled as she answered, "Dealer's choice."

Danny watched the numbers on the screen change as the elevator ascended into the building.

"Now!"

Sara and Catherine were standing in comfortable silence as the elevator took them up to the 18th floor. The LED panel above the doors had indicated that they had just passed the 15th floor when the car suddenly when pitch black and came to a screeching halt. Both CSIs grabbed the railing behind then as the car jarred before settling into place.

"What the hell?!" Sara exclaimed.

Catherine snickered to herself; Sara seemed to be saying that a lot lately. It wasn't long before lights from the back up generator kicked on. Catherine picked up the emergency phone and was thankful to hear that there was someone else on the other end. She spoke with them for a few minutes before turning back to her fellow elevator hostage.

"They said it's some sort of electrical problem…Sara are you ok?" When she turned around she found the brunette curled up in the corner of the elevator hugging her legs to her chest.

She didn't answer her right away; she just continued to stare at one spot on the floor. It wasn't until Catherine kneeled down in front of her and ran her hand across her cheek that Sara snapped out of her trance. Catherine saw fear in the younger woman's brown eyes. "Honey what is it? Talk to me."

"I don't like small spaces. I'm…I'm…"

"Claustrophobic," Catherine finished for her.

"Yeah."

Catherine was being to worry about Sara's shallow breathing. If she kept up like this she was willing to pass out quickly.

"Sara, sweetie, listen to me. You need to try and control your breathing, ok? Look at me. You're going to be fine. I'm here. Everything is going to be fine."

Back in the control room, Danny, Jordan and Woody watched the scene unfold in front of them.

"Jordan, do you think that this is really the best thing to be doing to her? Look, being stuck in there is obviously bothering her." Woody was concerned for the brunette's well being.

"Just give them another minute Woody. Just wait for it."

They continued to study the screen in front of them and they watched as the older woman sat back against the wall and pulled the other woman to sit between her legs. The brunette immediately snuggles up to her, wrapping her arms around the smaller woman's waist and burying her head in the crook of her neck. Catherine then wrapped her arms around Sara's shoulders and held her close as she rubbed soothing circles across her back.

Catherine sighed and pressed a kiss to Sara's forehead when she felt her breathing regulate. "That's it, honey, you're doing great. Just breathe."

Sara held onto Catherine as if her life depended on it. As far as she was concerned, her life did depend on it. She had been slightly claustrophobic as a kid but it had all increased after her kidnapping. Riding in elevators didn't usually affect her since they were so short, but being stuck in one was a completely different story. Now all she focused on was the woman that was wrapped around her. Her scent, her touch, her voice. All of it was making Sara feel more calm then she had ever been. She closed her eyes and felt as if she could fall asleep in right there. She had always dreamed of falling asleep in Catherine's arms – she just didn't think that it would be after a panic attack in the middle of an elevator, either way, now she just focused on cherishing the feeling for as long as it would last.

"How long do you want to keep them in there?" Danny asked. He felt more comfortable now that he saw the young CSI calm down but he didn't want it all to last much longer. Sara's panic attack definitely was not something that he had been expecting.

"Give them another 15 or 20 minutes. Woody and I will go back up to our room so that we are there when they get out. Call me when you restart the elevator ok?" Jordan said as she took Woody's hand and began to lead him out of the room.

"Sounds good."

"Jordan, did you know that Sara was claustrophobic when you made up this part of your little plan?" Woody asked as they made their way back up to their room in the working elevator.

"I knew that she was slightly uncomfortable with small spaces but I didn't know that it would be that severe. I definitely was expecting all that to happen but hey it all worked out for the best."

"Yeah, you could have caused your best friend to pass out in an elevator."

"Well, she didn't and now she is laying in the arms of the woman that she loves but doesn't have the guts to make a move on. I would say that it turned out pretty damn great!"

The couple entered their hotel room and began to wait for their friends to get out of their trap. Now they just had to make sure that they didn't give away the fact that they knew anything about it.

Sara had never been so excited to exit an elevator before. She almost wanted to run all the way down the hallway just because she was free. Catherine laughed to herself when she saw the look of relief on Sara's face. Sara turned to the blonde and embraced her while thanking her for what felt like the 100th time that week. She was so happy that she actually lifted Catherine off of her feet and spun her around in a circle.

"You're welcome," Catherine giggled as she was placed back on the ground, "Anytime babe."

Now Sara wasn't sure what she was happier about – to be out of the damn elevator or the fact that Catherine had called her honey, sweetie and babe all in the last half hour.

"Hey! There you guys are! Did you get held up on your case?" Jordan asked as she let the two CSIs into her hotel room. She hoped that she sounded believable.

"Yeah I wish!" Sara scoffed, "We were stuck in the elevator for over ½ an hour! I swear to God if I didn't like Danny and the rest of the staff as much as I do I would go down there and…" she began to trial off as Catherine began to rub her back again. Apparently it had a calming affect in more situations then just being stuck in an elevator. She would have to keep this in mind for the future.

"The good thing is," Catherine continued, "Is that we are now out of the elevator and here to help you with your wedding decisions."

"Great! Woody is getting ready to go to the gym and I figured we could have breakfast downstairs while we go over everything. Let me just run and grab the brochures out of my purse." She was about to go into the other room when Sara's voice stopped her.

"Guys, if we are going down to the restaurant, we are taking the stairs!"

Hope you liked it! I think I deserve extra reviews for getting this post up so quickly! ;)
