Chapter 3 - "I Guess I'll Be Going" What I've Done by Linkin Park

Sara woke up to the shrill sound of her cell phone. At first she tried to ignore it, but when it kept ringing she knew she was going to have to get up and answer it. Then suddenly the events of earlier that day came flooding back to her. "Grissom."

She practically tripped over Hank as she quickly made her way to the kitchen in search of her phone. "H-Hello?" She said, her voice still groggy from having just woken up.

'Sar you alright?'

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine Nick. What's up?" Sara said, trying hard to the disappointment in her voice.

'I was wondering if you where coming in tonight?'

"What?"

'Sara, shift started a half hour ago.'

"Are you serious?!" Sara asked in disbelief as she looked at the clock. Sure enough it was 11:37. "Shit. Okay, I'll be there in 15 minutes."

'Alright, I'll tell Cath.'

"Thanks Nick." Sara hung up the phone and hurriedly made her way to her bedroom to get changed. She got ready on auto pilot. Going through the motions without even realizing she was doing them, because she had just realized something.

Grissom had never come home.

Grissom lay in the bed. Her bed. Not his. Not Sara's. But another woman's.

Shift would have started 45 minutes ago, but he called in sick. He knew he would not be able to face them. Especially Sara. He knew he couldn't handle it. Grissom had been lying there, staring at the ceiling, for at least an hour now with Amy, sound asleep at his side. God, what had he done? Every time he closed his eyes he was met with Sara's soft and loving face. Her chocolate brown eyes that held so much compassion and yet so much darkness. That held secrets even he didn't know.

Maybe that was it. Maybe he needed to have someone close to him that held nothing back. That told him everything. Maybe that was the reason he did this. The reason he went against everything that he knew. The reason...he'd cheated. It suddenly hit him. His heart stopped. His breathe caught in his throat.

"I cheated."

"What?" Amy asked sleepily beside him. "Gil, what's going on?" She asked after getting no response.

"I-I have to go now."

"Why? What is going on Gil?" Amy said, now fully awake.

"Amy, I'm so sorry, but this...It's is wrong. I-I can't be here. I'm so sorry." Grissom said, trying to find his clothes.

"Gil! Would you just sit down and tell me what's going on!? Please?"

Grissom stopped what he was doing. He saw the hurt and broken look in her eyes. 'Oh God, what have I done?' He sat down in the chair beside the bed, trying to get his thoughts and emotions in order. They both sat in complete silence for a few minutes. It felt odd after the moment hysteria just minutes before.

"Before you say anything, let me talk. Okay?"

Grissom was a little shocked as Amy's hesitant voice broke the silence. He shook his head, willing her to continue.

"I know what you're going to say, so don't...This-this was a mistake. I think we both know that. We both just needed a shoulder to cry on. In this case it was....well, different. I-I just lost my brother and you-I mean, I don't know anything about you. And that's just it, I have no idea who you are, where you grew up, what your favorite color is, if you have brothers or sisters. All you know about me is my name.

We where-are, just two lost souls searching for comfort in the wrong places. I think the best thing to do is for us to just go on with our lives the way they where. This was just one of those times where we where both in the wrong place at the wrong time. Or maybe it was the right place, I don't know. But, thank you." Amy laughed sarcastically, shaking her head. "Thanking you sounds so wrong, but I really do mean it."

Grissom sat there, staring at the floor. Processing the words she had just spoken. "I truly don't know what to say."

"Then don't say anything. Just walk out the door and never look back. You won't hurt me by doing it. I won't lie awake at night wondering what I did wrong, Gil. This was comfort we both needed and now that it's over, it's over."

He raised his head to look her in the eye. She held his gaze, never showing any sign that she hadn't meant every word she said. "I guess I'll be going then..." Grissom gave her a half hearted smile and got up to leave. He stopped just as he reached the door and turned around to say something, but she stopped him.

Amy smiled at him. "You're welcome."

Sara entered the lab and made her way to the break room, trying, but failing miserably, to keep calm. She had spent the whole drive over to the lab, well, freaking out. Nick had said he'd tell Catherine, not Grissom, that she would be coming. Where was Grissom? Something had to be wrong if he didn't come in to work. With every second that passed she became more and more distressed.

Sara turned the corner and saw Catherine in the break room looking over a case file. "Where's Grissom?"

"Well 'hello' to you too Sara." Catherine said sarcastically.

"Sorry, but I really need to know where Grissom is. Please." Sara said, her voice on edge.

"He called in sick. Sara are you okay? You don't look too good." Cath said, instantly concerned.

Sara closed her eyes and shook her head. "Truthfully I'm not fine. I've been trying to get a hold of Grissom since early this afternoon and he hasn't returned any of my calls. He never came home. And now, he calls the lab to call in sick but he can't pick up the phone and tell me?"

"Sara, honey, just calm down. I'm sure he has a very good reason for all of this okay?" Catherine said, truly worried for her colleagues health. Sara's complexion had become suddenly pale and she looked like she'd barely gotten any sleep.

"Hey, you okay?" Nick asked as he walked in the room.

"Just...don't ask." Sara said, a little bit more harshly then she intended.

Catherine gave Nick a look that told him to keep his distance. "Sara why don't you just take the night off, okay? Just go back home and get some rest and don't worry. I'm sure Grissom will turn up and a good reason as to why he hasn't called you. I'm sure of it."

"Thank you for the offer, Cath, but I need to work. I can't just sit at home and let my mind come up with a hundred more explanations to go along with the thousand I already thought of okay? Just give me a case and let me work."

"Alright, if that's what you want you can work the case with Nick and-"

"Sara, I-I have to talk to you."

The room fell into a dead silence as Grissom stood at the door, looking just as bad as Sara, if not worse.

"Gil, where the hell have you been? You've had me worried sick, you know that?" Sara said.

"Please. Can we talk about this in my office."

"You better have a damn good reason for all of this, Gil. But I have to say, I'm glad you're alright. I was so scared that something had happened to you." She said, walking over to him.

Grissom didn't meet her eyes. He just stared at the floor. He wasn't looking forward to what was coming, but he knew he deserved every bit of it.

Sooo.....Tell me what you think!
