The Team and the Plan

"Where's Sara?" asked Grissom

"It's her day off. Duh." Greg said, making a face at the older man.

What Greg did, earned him a glare. "But, she usually doesn't take her day off…" said Grissom

"Yeah…but she informed us yesterday that she was going to hang out with her friend Kaye." Said Nick

"Okay." Said Grissom

"So…do we have assignments?" asked Warrick

"Nope…apparently, It's a slow night today…but, I need help with something…and I need all of you to help me. Can you help me?" asked Grissom

"Sure" They answered

"What's this about?" asked Catherine

"It's about the mystery girl. I need to find out who she is." Said Grissom

"Do you want me to call Sara and inform her of this plan?" asked Catherine

"Don't. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that we shouldn't include her in this plan."

"So…what do you want us to do?" asked Greg

"Well, the job's easy. You guys just need to observe and try to find out as much as you can from the mystery girl."

"And when will the mystery girl show?" asked Warrick

"I'm almost fairly certain that the girl will show at the masquerade ball."

"Masquerade ball? What Masquerade ball?" asked Catherine

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that there will be another masquerade ball the night after tomorrow."

"Oh…okay."

"So…you will do what I say?" asked Grissom

"Yes." They answered

"Good. Oh, one more thing…Sara will not know about this plan. Got it?" asked Grissom

"Okay." They answered.

The next day

They were all in the break room, waiting for assignments. Sara was reading a forensic magazine, Nick and Warrick were discussing something about their old cases, Greg was playing games on his phone, and Catherine was deep in thought. Just then, Grissom came in.

"I have assignments. Sara and Greg, you have a dead body found by Lake Mead. Warrick, you have a robbery at Tangiers. Catherine and Nick, you're coming with me. We have an assault victim at the Bellagio."

"Okay." They answered.

"Before you go, Sara, there's another masquerade party tomorrow. This time, the party is for the Undersheriff. I already informed the team about this yesterday and since you weren't there, I decided to tell you now instead." Said Grissom

"Okay." Said Sara

After that, all of them went out the door. Out to their respective crime scenes.

At the end of shift, Sara found herself panicking. She immediately called Kaye.

"Hello?" said Kaye

"Hi Kaye…this is Sara...We have a masquerade ball again tomorrow and I need your help."

"Oh sure! Good thing I'm back in my apartment. Where will I meet you?"

"You know which mall…Can you meet me there in fifteen minutes?"

"Sure."

After fifteen minutes, Sara and Kaye met at the fountain.

"So…you need two dresses, two bags, two pairs of earrings, maybe a necklace…and two pairs of shoes." Said Kaye

"Don't forget the masks." Said Sara

"Right. Two masks, two dresses, two pairs of shoes, two bags…preferably clutch bags…two pairs of earrings…and a necklace for the mystery girl's attire."

"Yup. Now, help me shop. I'm afraid that without your help, I might go to the party in slacks…or worse, in overalls."

"Well, no offence Sara, but you DO need my help. Not that you don't have great taste or anything…but you just don't have the experience of shopping for dresses…on your own."

"Don't worry Kaye, I'm not offended. I really DO need your help."

"Okay…Now, Let's exercise your Visa card." Kaye said as she winked.

After two hours, they got two dresses; one that was color red and had sequins on the side, and one that was color white that flowed to the floor and accented her curves. They also got two clutch bags; a red one, and a white one. They got two pairs of earrings and materials for making the mask. They also got two pairs of shoes; one that was color red that was about 3 inches high, and white stilettos that sparkled whenever light would hit it.

Of course, it was decided that Kaye would stay with her until before the party. Kaye would fix her hair and help her put on her gown and accessories.

After half an hour, they arrived at Sara's apartment. They made breakfast and ate. After an hour, the masks were done, and Sara went to her bedroom, desperate for sleep.

A.N: Review, and tell me what you think okay?
