Hidden Emotions

Chapter Two

Gil knew that he couldn't get his hopes up about Sara being at the seminar that day, so as he stood, for the third and final time, on that stage, watching as the last of the students walked into the room and found seats, he only quickly looked around the room for her, and didn't see her. Gil waited until he was sure everyone was ready, then began.

"Hello, today is the final part of this seminar, its about coming to a conclusion on your case, which suspect--if there is one, because it could be an accident--is responsible, how they did it, and how you know this, if anyone has any questions before we begin please raise your hands now"

Sara was sat in a room in the hospital, waiting for a nurse to return, she had been feeling a little ill lately, and was worried that she could be pregnant, she had recently broke up with her boyfriend of three weeks, and of course, she had been stupid and gave in to his teasing and had sex with him, that was all it was to her. Sex. She hadn't felt any emotion during or after, she had just wanted it to be over, and as soon as she could she had gotten ready and left his room. To throw up. She was too embarrassed to buy a test and she knew they weren't always right.

She had just given the nurse her urine sample and was waiting for the results. Sara looked around the plain room, she was used to hospitals, living in an abusive houshold, she had been in an out as a little girl. The room was small, it had two windows, both with plain, light blue curtains, white speckly flooring, with cream coloured, boring patterened walls, it had a single bed with two chairs, one either side. On the wall to the right side of sara was a diagram of the human body, it had labels all over it, some containing small bits of information.

"Miss Sidle" Sara looked up to see that the nurse had returned, she held her breath, hoping that it had came back negative.

"Yes?"

The nurse smiled at her, "Your urine sample came back negative"

Sara let out her breath and grinned, "Thank you" She got up and picked her jacket up from the chair it was drapped over.

"You're welcome, have a good day"

"You too" Sara hurried out of the room, then stopped and turned around, "Do you have the time?"

The nurse looked at the small silver watch on her wrist, "Its just gone half past eleven"

"Okay, thanks" If she hurried, Sara could be at the second half of the seminar, so she ran down the long, plain corridor, down the stairs, because the lifts in the hospital were slow, and out into the bright, morning, sunshine.

Once she was outside Sara got a taxi to the university, she ran into the building and luckily people were still walking into the seminar, so she calmed herself down and walked into the large room, as she sat down in a seat in the front row she looked at the front of the room to see Grissom looking through some notes.

Grissom looked up from his notes and saw Sara sat directly in front of him, he knew he wouldn't be able to concentrate with her sitting there, he tried his best to focus on most of the people in the room but it was hard with her there, her hair in a pony tail, a few loose strands framing her face, she was wearing a white tank top with black jeans and comfortable-looking shoes.

By the end of the seminar Grissom had gained control, he knew he probably wouldn't see Sara again once she had left the room, unless he needed help at the lab. Which was very, very, rare, the lab hadn't needed help in years, so there wasn't a good chance of him needing to phone her, so when everyone started leaving the room he walked up to her.

"Sara, I see you made it to the second part of my seminar"

She turned around and came face to face with him, "Grissom, hi, yeah, I'd just got back and thought I'd see if I wasn't too late, I got here just as people were coming back in"

"Oh good, you caught the most important part, I see you made a lot of notes" He said whilst motioning to the notebook in her hand, it had writing all over one page, Grissom noticed that some of it was in code. "You write in code?"

Sara blushed slightly at his comment, "Um, yeah, I only write in code if I don't want people to see what it means, um, not that this is anything private" She rushed the last bit of her sentence.

Grissom smirked, and shrugged his shoulders, "Hey, I race cockroaches"

Sara furrowed her eyebrows in confusion and shook her head slightly, "I'm not gonna ask how that works"

He smiled, "Well, I guess I wont be seeing you for a while, hopefully the lab will need help, if you ever want to work somewhere else, give me a call, the lab could do with someone like you" He scribbled his number down on a bit of paper and handed it to her.

Sara looked at him, "Thanks" They stood there for a short while, just looking at each other, before Grissom realised he had to meet someone.

"Oh, damn!" He cursed, after looking at his watch, "I need to be somewhere, I gotta go" He stopped and looked at her again, taking in her image, "Take care of yourself, Sara"

Sara smiled sadly, "I will, you too, Grissom" Her voice got quieter with every word.

"Bye" He whispered.

"Bye" Sara replied, equally as quiet. She watched him as he picked up his briefcase and walked out of the room, leaving Sara standing in the room alone. She picked up her rucksack and walked, slowly, out of the large room. Both of them knew there was very little chance of ever meeting again.
