Chapter 3: Settling in

Three days later

They all got up around 9:00 in the morning after napping a few hours, they finished packing what they didn't get done before shift, and since they all agreed that they were only taking two vehicles, Warrick and BreAnna picked up Greg and Amanda, and Nick and Catherine picked up Sara then Grissom. Then they were off to go have a good time outside of Vegas.

After two hours of driving they stopped because they were getting hungry and thought it was a good time to get gas for the vehicles, and Nick's boat that they were bringing, which Greg was in charge of getting that done. While he was doing that, the rest of them went to grab food for the them and him, then they continued on their journey.

After a few stops along the away they finally made it around mid-afternoon and Sara told Nick where to go.

As they got closer to the houses they stopped at the loading/drop off spot for the boats, and once it was in the water and tied up to the dock they headed toward Calleigh's summer-house.

As they were driving to the correct house the passengers looked out their windows and saw houses on both sides of the street. Some were big one-single story houses while other's were two-story. There was a little space between them so the people could set up outdoor activities and still be in their own yard.

Going further down the street towards the end they noticed a thick forest, which they all thought Grissom would have fun here, and they would have been right if they were listening to Grissom's thoughts because he promised himself that he would go exploring sometime this weekend.

When they finally got to the end of the street they pulled in the driveway of a big, white, one story house on the right side. It had a front porch with a swing attached.

Nick parks the vehicle on the small paved driveway, Warrick parked behind him. Once the vehicles were shut off they all got out, grabbed their things and walked to the right of vehicles to go to the front door.

As they were on the front porch waiting for Sara to open the door, she spoke "Before I open the door we need to talk about the sleeping arrangements. There are four bedrooms so a couple is going to have to sleep in the living room on the pull out bed."

They all looked at each other and everybody knew that Sara and Grissom each got their own room and since Warrick and BreAnna were married they got their own room, so that left one room remaining.

Catherine and Nick share a look then they looked at Sara and Nick said. "We'll it."

"Thanks guys." She was thankful there wasn't a huge problem.

They both nodded and Sara turns to the front door, pulls out her spare key that Calleigh gave her the last time she was up here with her, then puts the key in the lock. Before she turned it though she thought of something else, so she turned to Greg and said. "And Greg the master bedroom is mine."

And instead of accepting that he pouted as he asked. "Why do you get it?"

She smiled and replied. "Because she is my friend and I make the rules."

She smirks and before he could speak again, Nick does. "Hey Greggo if you're not happy with the room you could always take the living room."

Greg shook his head and said. "No it's cool."

They all smiled, that stopped Greg from pouting further. Sara gives Nick an appreciated smile and he just gives her a short nod. She turns back to the front door and finally unlocks it, then steps in and turns off the security system.

The moment the rest of them stepped in this place they saw why it had a security system, this was already awesome in their eyes, they breathed a wow just standing there.

They stood in the huge living room just taking everything in, a high ceiling, hardwood floors, a few hanging lights, nicely decorated walls, and windows to lighten the place up.

Looking around the living room first, they saw on the right wall a 45 inch flat screen TV hanging there with what looked like a nice looking entertainment system hooked up to it. Two windows were on each side of the TV with the view of the street.

And there was plenty of room to sit, one big couch, which had the bed in it, a recliner and a love seat across from it, and a coffee table in the middle.
Four additional comfy chairs in various spots that was still in perfect vision of watching TV. There was also a couple of book shelves filled with various books and DVD's.

In the dinning area, which was straight ahead of them was a table with four chairs, a more smaller window than the living room was next to a glass door for the side entrance to the deck, which they could also see the low fenced yard.

Behind the dinning room there was the kitchen, they could see a counter with three bar stools and another window but because there was wall blocking the rest of the view of the kitchen they had to walk closer to see the state of the art appliances and the sliding door to the back of the deck, which they could see some more of it and the dock in the distance.

Sara finally turns to them and said. "Now I will take you to the rooms and then show you outside." They all nodded still very speechless. Sara smiles and leads the way.

Standing from the area between the dinning room and the kitchen they turn to the left and she leads them down a medium-sized hall, which was big enough to fit two people side by side.

As they were walking and passing doors along the way Sara spoke loud enough so everybody could hear. "The first door on the left is the closet where you can find a few board games and puzzles, next is room number one, across from it is room number two, the Bathroom is next, sorry guys you are going to have to share it." They just shook their heads and Sara continued. "Then the last room before mine."

When they came to the end of the hall, Sara stopped, turned to everybody and said. "And this is where I am staying." She smiles, turns back to the door, opens it and walks in.

When everybody else was in they could tell why Sara was smiling, this room was huge.

Greg dropped his things and hung his mouth open, the room looked like a suite from a hotel room. There was a queen size bed in front of them with a small window that had the view of the forest, and two nightstand tables on each side of the bed.

Looking to their left from the bed there was a door for a small bathroom, along the left wall there was another window. The wall behind them had a 25 inch flat screen TV hanging on it with a smaller surround sound system, and a small bookshelf with some more books and DVD's.

To the right side of them was the chest of drawers for clothes with a mirror attached, another window along the right side of the wall so they could see the lake, and a small table with two chairs in front of the window.

After a few minutes Sara looks at them and said. "Great huh?" They all look at her with a nod, then she continued. "Unpack and I'll show you outside ok?"

They nodded again and turned around but before they took a step Greg was already hurrying out to see which room was the second best in the place. They all rolled their eyes and walked out. Once they were all out of the master bedroom Sara just shook her head and chuckled to herself as she unpacked her stuff.

When everybody was settled in, which they found out the rest of the bedrooms were medium-sized, with a medium-sized bed. It had nightstand tables but no TV's, they had small closets, chest of drawers and one window each, looking out at different views of the property.

Sara walks down the hall and met everybody in the living room, then asked. "Are you settled in?"

They all nodded and Warrick replied. "Yeah after Greg looked at every room twice."

Greg Speaks up."I wanted to find the second best room."

Nick looks at him and said. "And did you find it? Because aside from the view, they all looked the same to me."

They all snickered and Greg just shook his head, ignoring them, then looked at Sara and said. "Ok how about you finish the tour so we can test out this TV." He points behind him with a smile, which Nick and Warrick both started nodding at that idea.

Sara nods back with a smile then leads them to the sliding door and walked outside, then stepped away from the door so everybody could stand on the deck.

Now they were standing on a nice sized deck that was partially covered. There was three sets of stairs leading somewhere. On the left side, it was to a path that led to the forest. On the right side, it was to the yard, and straight ahead was to the dock.

There was a few sets of wicker chairs against the house with small round tables between them, a back porch swing, a BBQ and a long sized square table to enjoy the sun if it was wasn't to hot.

Sara looks at them and asked. "So what do you guys think?"

They look at her and Catherine said. "This place is amazing."

They all seconded that and Greg replied. "I would buy this place, of course if everything was included."

They laughed then Sara spoke again looking at Warrick and Nick. "How about you guys get the boat so you don't have to deal with it later." They nodded their heads and she asked. "Do you need me to come along?"

This time they shook their heads 'no' and Nick replied. "It's ok, we can handle it." Sara nodded and both guys left so one of them could drive the boat to this dock and the other could drive the vehicle back.

After they left, Greg, Catherine, Amanda and BreAnna went back to the living room to test out the TV, leaving Sara and Grissom on the deck.

She looks at him and asked. "You have been very quiet are you ok?"

He looks at her and said. "Yeah I'm fine, this place is amazing, thanks for inviting me."

Sara gives him a small smile and replied. "You're welcome, I hope you enjoy it here." He nodded, gives her a small smile then walks back in the house. Sara watches him then sighs.

She hopes their friendship can get back to the way it was or maybe more, then she shook her head away from those thoughts. That's what got them in this tense situation to begin with.

She just wanted to enjoy this time out of Vegas and not worry about anything else and She was determined to do just that... or at least try. She shakes her head again and walks back inside, wondering how the rest of the vacation will be like.
