Author's Note: Thanks for all the reviews. I appreciate them. They make my day even though I remember that we have meeting today at our school with our terror teacher.

Disclaimer: I don't own CSI or CBS…trust me, you wouldn't want me owning those. ;) I also don't own James Bond. Imagine the horrors that would be called films if I did.

The Ball and the big surprise

Sara's POV

I went to the venue and was amazed at what I saw. The venue was beautifully decorated…sure, it was the same venue from the sheriff's party, but this time, it was lovelier. I quickly went inside and towards table number three; the table for the graveyard shift. When I went towards it, I saw that the whole team was already there…and all of them had their masks off.

"Hi Sara." They all said

"Hello everyone…Am I late?" I asked

"Nope…we still have a good five minutes left before the undersheriff's speech." Said Warrick

"Oh…okay." I said

I took the five minutes left observing them all. Catherine was wearing a black gown with a hint of silver. Her mask was so beautifully decorated; it had fake pearls glued to the side of the rims where there were silver glitters. Her bag was a silver clutch bag that matched her shoes.

Warrick was wearing a tuxedo. It was white and it matched his personality. His mask was white at the left side, and black at the right side. In a way, he kind of looked like James Bond.

Greg was also wearing a tuxedo. It looked perfect on him and he kind of looked handsome. He didn't manage to flatten his hair so that was probably the reason of why he was wearing a hat. His mask was black with a hint of gray and silver at the sides.

Nick was also wearing a tuxedo. The tuxedo matched his mask which was color black with silver glitters at the sides. I was a bit disappointed that he wasn't wearing face paint.

Grissom looked handsome as always. He had a tuxedo on, which totally matched his way of thinking. It matched perfectly with his mask. His mask was color silver with a hint of white. He was also wearing sophisticated white gloves. Overall, he looked smart and sexy at the same time.

I quickly recalled my plan. My plan was to be at the event for about an hour as Sara, and then to go to a hotel room that Kaye had reserved so that I can change. Then after changing, I should go back to the party wearing my white gown as the mystery girl. I thanked destiny for giving me a sore throat again.

Grissom's POV

After an hour, Sara went home. I was a bit saddened because I was starting to like her company. I didn't dance with anybody. For the past hour, Sara and I had just been talking. I was also a bit saddened since the mystery girl still hasn't showed up.

But then, I saw her. How did I know that the girl who just came in was the mystery girl? Simple; the girl had her mask on. I quickly went and signaled the guys. When they understood, they quickly went to their places…and when they did, I quickly went to the girl.

"May I have this dance?" I asked. 'Please accept.'

"Why, yes you may." She said

After we danced, I asked her if she wanted my company. She accepted. But, guys came again and again…asking her to dance with them. Of course, she always accepted…and it was a whole two hours before we got to talking at the balcony like last time.

When we talked, I was happy. We almost had the same likes and dislikes. She had a nice sense of humor since she made me laugh quite so many times.

After another two hours, she left. She bid me farewell and once again, I asked her if she could take off her mask. She had the same answer as before; No.

When she went home, I went to the guys.

"What are your observations and what did you find out?" I asked

"She has brunette hair and judging by the way she walks, I don't think she wears heels that much; she doesn't look comfortable." said Catherine.

"I asked her what type of food does she like when we were at the buffet table. She said she likes fruits and vegetables." Said Warrick

"Okay…let's go to the second phase of our plan. Let's go back to the lab…shall we?" I said

All of us went to my car and went to the lab. Once we were there, I quickly got my kit and I pulled of my gloves…and I dusted them for prints. Once I got the prints, I quickly analyzed them.

After a full fifteen minutes, Me and the team went around the equipment to see the results.

It had a match.

Sara Sidle.

After seeing the results, I felt happy. And I felt as if someone took off the burden that I didn't know that I had. The guilt was gone. I quickly decided to call her and tell her what I feel, but…It kept going to voicemail.

The team and I went back to the venue to see if she came back. There, I saw her car. Her keys were on the ground and she was nowhere to be seen. Her purse was inside the car and her dress and masks were inside the car.

I felt terrible.

There was no denying it;

Sara Sidle had been abducted.

I quickly pulled out my phone and called Brass.

A.N: Here is one of the twists and turns that I mentioned…keep on reviewing and tell me if I make my stories well…'kay? I want to know your tips. ;)

Also, I felt guilty because I went through seven chapters without mentioning our good friend Brass…so I mentioned him here.
