Back on shift, Sara was no longer tired; her sleep was peaceful and uneventful. Not a single nightmare visited her that night. Greg had held on to her through the night and soothed her endless fears away. Grissom was handing out assignments when Sara walked in. Grissom looked shocked to see her stood in the doorway with Greg by her side, holding her hand. Grissom walked to her and held her hand.
"Honey you shouldn't be here," He whispered. Sara rolled her eyes;
"Just let me do my job Grissom, I'm fine," she replied, softly. Grissom frowned at her; she always seemed to want to work, time off was never an option. In some ways he admired that, but she would burn out if she wasn't careful. He handed her an assignment;
"You'll be working with Nick on this case Sara," Grissom smiled. Both Sara's and Greg's faces fell. She looked forlornly at Grissom, pleading with him but he laughed.
"Don't make me have to surgically remove you two from each other, I don't have the time or the resources," Grissom sighed. Sara kissed Greg lightly, and eventually pulled her hand away from his. Nick rolled his eyes as Greg stared doe-eyed after them as they walked away.
"Greg, you're with Warrick on this case, a supposed suicide on Boulder Highway, could be suspicious circs," Grissom added.
"Lets go Greg," Warrick laughed as he swiped the keys from Greg's hand. They left Grissom in his office, his forehead furrowed at the masses of paperwork consuming the office. Catherine was right, she couldn't live without him.
Greg's cell phone chirped, he had a new message. He turned away from Warrick to read it;
Missing you already xxx
Greg smiled albeit sadly. He hated them to be apart. He replied and put his cell phone away. Inside the Tahoe, Sara's cell phone vibrated;
Miss you too, we'll be together soon, I love you so much, xx
She too smiled sadly before putting on her seatbelt.
"Are things getting serious with you and Greggo now?" Nick said, smiling.
"I don't think that's any of your business," She smiled, then laughed.
"Oh come on Sara! He was practically in tears when we left!" He exclaimed, laughing.
"Okay so he loves me, and I love him. Can we be grown-ups now please and not talk about mine and Greg's love life?" She replied, blushing slightly.
"Okay, sorry…did you guys…?" Nick began.
"Please don't finish that sentence and that I will NOT tell you, I don't kiss and tell," she replied, clearly embarrassed, Nick just laughed and started the car.
"What's the case?" She asked, as the car rolled out of the crime lab.
"Work accident, apparently a guy 'fell on a spear' at a construction site, they believe it to be suspicious, possibly a murder, but it may be a long shot. Grissom says they all have credible alibis!" Nick replied, sighing. "If they all have alibis that check out then I don't see how it could be suspicious circs," Nick sighed again.
"Keep an open mind Nick, that's what Grissom says," she replied.
"Do you, hang on his every word? You seem to remember every word he says. Anyone would think you fancied him," Nick laughed. Sara blushed slightly; she did have a crush on her supervisor but not anything like her relationship with Greg. That was real love, Grissom was emotionally unavailable and nothing more than a passing crush. Nick noted her red cheeks;
"You like Grissom??" he laughed out loud, Sara punched him in the shoulder;
"Shut up, it's not like that," she laughed with him now, lets just talk about something else okay?" she sighed, "We've talked about me most of the way, lets talk about your love life," she smiled evilly.
"Me and Catherine, kinda have a thing," He smiled.
"You and Catherine??" Sara gaped at him then lightly laughed, "That's unbelievable!" She laughed, "I never thought she was your type," she added.
"Well she is and yeah she likes me too," Nick smiled.
"Well at least your honest," she laughed.
Warrick was driving and grilling Greg about Sara just the same as she was getting it from Nick.
"You and Sara?" He gasped, trying to understand as if he was speaking foreign.
"Yeah," Greg laughed, shy to talk about his love for Sara.
"Well I did not see that one coming," Warrick laughed, "Is it serious?" he asked.
"Yeah, I think so, we're talking about moving in together," He smiled, Warrick just shook his head;
"Damn," he laughed "Nice work Sanders," He laughed again.
"Why thank you," he smiled.
"So we may have a suicide or a murder here. A lot of the time, people stage suicide to confuse us and get themselves off the hook, I wonder which we have here," Warrick mused.
"I don't know," Greg replied, "But I think we are about to find out,"
