CHAPTER FOUR
Sara went straight home after having breakfast with team at the diner. Once she entered the townhouse, Gil was furiously waiting for her. He got up from the couch he was sitting on and went to stand right in front of her.
"Ecklie told me that you resigned." Gil said with a hint of anger in his voice.
"It's true, I did." Sara confirmed.
"Why didn't you inform me of that before you did it. Do you know how fool I looked like when Eckile told me you resigned? I was so taken aback that Ecklie found it surprising that I had no idea, whatsoever, about you resigning." Grissom snapped at her.
"I didn't know you cared." she said calmly.
"Oh no, I DO NOT care about you. At least not anymore. You got that right. All what I care about is the lab. And now, no thanks to you, the Las Vegas Lab's rate will decease just because you decided you don't want to be around me, anymore. But, you know what? If you don't want to be around me, then I don't want to be around you either. Hell, I didn't want you for a while now. And I'm going to prove it to you." he snapped, and without another word, he left the townhouse.
Sara just stood there, with tears covering all over her cheeks. It wasn't that he had been cruel to her that triggered her sad tears. He had been cruel to her many times before. It was him admitting that he didn't care about her, anymore, that did. He didn't even ask her where would she be working after leaving the lab. It didn't even occur to him as he left the townhouse. As he went for Charlotte.

Sara's prediction was correct. Gil went straight to Charlotte's place after his fight with his wife. They had sex again. And when they were done as they lay on the bed beside each other, Gil told Charlotte about his fight with Sara.
"Divorce her." Charlotte said.
Gil's eyes widened before he looked at her. "What?" he asked, shocked.
Seeing the utter surprise on his face, Charlotte asked. "Do you still love her?"
"No, I don't."
"Then prove it to yourself and to me...and to her." she challenged him.
Gil just sighed heavily before nodding to Charlotte. And Charlotte, then, gave him her brightest, most sexy smile.

A couple of days later in the lab, in Grissom's office, Catherine and Brass occupied the two chairs in front of Grissom's desk while Gil sat behind it. It was just and all business. Nothing more. There wasn't anything personal between the whole lab and Gil ever since he had treated Sara like shit.
They were merely discussing their case with him when Sara just burst into his office, without even knocking the closed door, approaching Gil until she was standing right beside him, behind his desk. She looked him in the eye as she laid the piece of paper she was holding on his desk, in front of him, and took off her gold wedding band from her left ring finger.
She grabbed his right hand forcefully and pressed her wedding band in his palm. And without a word, she left his office as fast and quiet as she entered.
Brass and Catherine were dumbstruck. Their brains couldn't comprehend Sara's actions.
Catherine was the first to find her voice. "What's going on?" she inquired.
At Grissom's silence, Brass quickly grabbed the paper Sara left, and before Gil could realize, the paper was in Brass' position.
Without any warning, Brass went to Gil and punched him on the face. "You bastard, you keep hurting her for three months and then you just throw her like that. Is this what she get for holding onto you? For not losing hope in you?" he thundered.
Now Catherine was out of her seat, ready to stop Brass from killing Gil. "What's going on?" she asked again.
"He divorced Sara!"
A/N: What do you think? Please let me know. I'm sorry for the cliff-hanger, but if I add the next event, the chapter would be too long. Review please.
