Chapter Two
Catherine sat in her office, starring down at the pile of paperwork she had yet to complete. After Grissom feel ill, Catherine had been covering him. Between being out in the field, helping the guys out and looking after Lindsey, she just hadn't found the time to do it and run it up to Ecklie.
'God, now I know why Gil hated doing it so much.'
Warrick, Nick and Greg were chatting away in the break room about the good old days, when all six of them would go out after a hard shift and drown their sorrows. Having a laugh and a joke. Each of them chuckled when they thought back to the day when Sara and Grissom were caught having a personal moment in his office when they found Nick alive, and then again when the Warrick was told he was going to live. Her infamous Sidle smile was still fresh in their minds. It was the day that she left, and everyone on the night shift was starting to wallow in sorrow.
"I miss the talks we had, ya know man." Nick often spoke to Sara when he felt he couldn't find the answers to his problems, or when he needed a shoulder to cry on after he was buried alive.
"I know what ya mean. She was always their for us, but, come to think of it, I never asked her if she was okay." Warrick was now happily living with Catherine and Lindsey. He too used to speak to Sara on a regular basis. When his marriage failed, she was there for him. He could speak to her about anything, no questions asked. They all could.
"Yeah. She was always there at the right time. She always seemed so happy." While Greg had only spoken to Sara about girl trouble, the pair used to go out to clubs. Often the same nights that they all went out together. He also had a crush on Sara, she knew of course, but she never let it get in her way when she was there for him. "What about Cath? Did she ever speak to Sara like we did?"
All eyes shot to Warrick. It wasn't a secret about him and Catherine, he just had to work under Grissom instead of his lover.
"Yeah. I think so. But you'd have to ask her." Warrick dropped his eyes to the floor, knowing very well that Catherine had spoken to Sara, on many occasions before she left. But, what she spoke about was a secret.
