Hidden Emotions

Chapter Twenty Two

They arrived at the diner, Sara hadn't spoke the entire journey, but Catherine knew better than to push her to talk about it. She had been through it. When they got the diner Catherine simply sat Sara down at a table, got the drinks and they sat in silence.

Sara finally spoke, "I thought he really loved me."

"Sara, if he did that to you, he isn't worth it."

"I hope he isn't doing the same thing with that poor Elaine"

"Uh... What happened... At Elaine's?"

"We talked about the case, I asked her a few questions, and then I saw a photo of her and Hank on the table"

"Did you tell her that you were with him?"

"No, I asked her who it was, she said it was her boyfriend, he's taking her on holiday in a few weeks"

"Oh, god"

They sat in silence again; Sara got up and walked away. Catherine knew she had gone to the toilets but didn't bother following her. She needed to be alone.

Fifteen minutes later Sara was still in the toilets and Catherine had finished her drink, she sighed, and checked her watch. 1:13 Am. She walked into the toilets and saw one cubicle locked.

"Sara?"

She heard a sniffle, a mumbled "just a minute" and the sound of her getting up from the toilet.

"Sara, you okay?"

Another sniff. "Yeah, I'm fine"

"Hank isn't work crying about, he's the one at loss here"

The door unlocked and Sara walked out, it was clear she had been crying.

"You're right" She said. "I don't know why I cried over him."

"That's more like it" Catherine smiled. "Besides, I know someone who is worth you way more than that backstabber"

"Who's that?" Sara said, while cleaning her face up.

"Oh, we both have a good idea of who I'm talking about" Catherine smiled. "I'll see you at the car"

Sara had a confused look on her face while she watched Catherine exit the toilets.

Grissom was sitting in his office, doing a crossword puzzle. It was the next day and Sara wasn't feeling any better. Catherine noticed this and went to Grissom's office.

He heard a knock. "Come in"

"Hey, Grissom, I need to talk to you about Sara"

Those words made his head snap up. He put his puzzle down and took his glasses off. Catherine knew this was 'I'm interested, keep speaking' look. "What about Sara?"

She sat down opposite him.

"She broke up with Hank yesterday"

"She did?" Now he was very interested.

"Yeah, on the case yesterday, she found out he had been cheating on her"

"Oh... Who with?" 'How could anyone cheat on my Sara?'

"She was actually involved in the case, Elaine Alcott; he's taking her on holiday in a few weeks"

Grissom nodded his head sympathetically.

"Anyway, I thought I'd let you know, just go easy on her today, and like I said, Griss, get your head out of that damn microscope"

He nodded. That was one less thing to worry about. But he still had his hearing to sort out, it had been getting worse day by day, he knew his mother had the same problem which had led to her going deaf, but he could get an operation to sort it out. He didn't want an operation, but he did want his hearing. It was his only option.
