Chapter 9
Hodges sauntered down the hallway of the lab, whistling to himself. He had just delivered trace results that had pinned down soil that led to a murder scene and thus solving the case. He saluted Mandy as he walked by her lab. The tech rolled her eyes at his obvious arrogant parade through the lab hallways. He always did that and it annoyed the crap out of her.
Wendy smiled as Hodges approached the DNA lab. He was obviously proud of himself. The gate of his walk and the whistling were the giveaway. Hodges entered the lab, huge grin on his face.
"Well, someone seems quite proud of themselves today." Wendy commented as she pretended to look over some reports.
"Well, as usual, I solved the case." He leaned his hip on the counter.
"Well, didn't the soil lead to the breaking of the case?" Wendy tried to hide her smile, knowing this would set him off.
"Yeeessss. But as we all know, without my skills and intellect that information would have remained an unknown and thus the location would never have been discovered. So, in essence, I solved the case." He grinned at her.
"Hmmmm." Wendy tried not to laugh but a small "HA!" escaped, causing Hodges to stand up straight and frown at her.
"Fine." He turned on his heal and headed towards the door.
"Hodges, wait." Wendy smiled at him. He stopped and turned, never being able to resist her smile. "I'm sorry. I just like to tease you."
The lab tech walked towards her once again, a fake grin on his face.
"You make it too easy, David!" Wendy crossed her arms across her chest. "You did a great job. I'm glad the case got solved."
"Just doing my job." David grinned. "As unappreciated as it may be."
"You know you are..." Wendy stopped talking to watch the pair walking by her lab.
"What?" Hodges asked.
"Shhhh!" Wendy discretely pointed at the hallway.
"Ooooh!" David moved around the table to stand next to Wendy, pretending to be looking at the lab results Wendy held in her hands.
"I'm excited to see Lindsey. She's a great person, just like her mom." Sara commented and smiled at Catherine.
"Awww! Thanks, Babe!" Catherine replied, bumping her hip against the younger woman.
They stopped a few feet down the hallway when Henry stopped them to give Catherine some test results. Henry made his way to the DNA lab having noticed Wendy and Hodges standing there watching him.
"What are you guys.."
"SHHH!" They ordered in unison. Hodges pulled Henry next to him and pointed at the pair still standing in the hallway.
Catherine was looking at the report with interest. A strand of hair fell from behind her ear, blocking her vision. Sara gently reached over and moved it back behind her ear. They shared a secretive smile and began to walk down the hallway again.
"SEE! I told you something is going on!" Wendy declared to the two men standing next to her.
"Yeah. Lab results." Henry chuckled.
"Ugh! Men!" Wendy turned back to her work, ignoring the duo still standing there.
"What is she talking about, Hodges?" Henry asked, knowing he would probably regret knowing the answer.
"Well, Wendy and I have noticed some odd behavior from our Night Shift Supervisor. She and Sara, as you know, are roommates while Sara is working here. But some of their behavior seems to suggest that there is more to it than just being roommates."
"What?" Henry looked to Wendy. "You mean you think that they are...That they have a ....That they are?"
"Yup!" Hodges rocked on his heals.
"Wow. I don't know. I mean, sure, they are a LOT closer now than they had ever been when Sara was a CSI, but I just figured it was because they weren't working together anymore." Henry stood there thinking for a moment.
"You know, maybe we should do some investigating." Wendy smiled mischievously at the men.
Sara walked into the locker room after her class for PD had concluded. Catherine sat on the bench in front of her locker, waiting for her to arrive.
"Hello, Sexy Supervisor." Sara purred at her lover.
"You know, saying things like that will get you.....everywhere." Cat stood and pulled Sara in for a warm embrace. "Why is it that even an hour without you feels like weeks?"
"Hmmm." Sara wrapped her arms around Cat's waist, joining her hands at the small of her back. She smiled and stared into blue eyes. "I feel the same way."
"Yeah?" Catherine walked backwards pulling Sara with her. They turned the corner at the end of the row of lockers, causing them to be hidden from view of anyone walking by the room. "I have been wanting to do this all day."
Catherine pulled Sara in for a slow, sensuous kiss. When their tongues met, Sara moaned and pushed Cat against the wall, grinding her body into her lovers. They stood there for several moments kissing, forgetting where they were.
"Ok. They are in the locker room." Hodges reported to Wendy.
Wendy lightly jogged towards the locker room, slowing down to a walk when she was near the door. She stopped a few feet away and listened. She didn't hear any talking but heard the undeniable sound of someone moaning in passion. Wendy smiled to herself and entered the room, expecting to see the two women in some sort of compromising position. She frowned when there was no one there but the smile soon returned when she heard whispering.
"Sara. As much as I want to continue, Baby. We are at work."
Some lip smacking followed Catherine's words, along with another moan. Wendy felt like she was intruding so she turned to exit the room.
"Wendy! HI!" Sara said a little too loudly.
"Oh, hey! Sara, Catherine. I just forgot something in my locker."
"Oh" Sara nodded at Wendy. "Well, I am done for the day. So, I will see you two lovely ladies tomorrow."
"Yeah, sure." Wendy smiled at Sara, a knowing grin on her face.
Sara retrieved her jacket from her locker and gave a small wave to the two women as she exited the room. Wendy started to follow, not wanting an awkward confrontation with the supervisor.
"You saw us, didn't you?" Catherine asked of the tech.
"Ummm..." Wendy turned and smiled at the older woman. "I didn't SEE anything."
Catherine eyed her suspiciously. "But you HEARD something, right?"
"Ummm." Wendy shuffled her feet, staring down. "Yeah. I heard you."
"Well, I hope you enjoyed it." Catherine gave her a sultry grin and exited the room, leaving a shocked lab tech in her wake.
Sara sat on the couch with her laptop. She had just finished catching up on some email when she heard Catherine pull into the driveway. She smiled to herself. It was amazing how just the sound of a car pulling into a drive had her all nervous and excited. Catherine locked the door and kicked off her shoes. She smiled when she saw Sara sitting on the couch, her back against the arm with her computer in her lap.
"Hey there." She greeted the younger woman and took a seat next to her. "What you been up to?"
"Oh, just catching up on email and doing some research." Sara stated with a huge grin.
"What kind of research?" Catherine leaned over to see what was on the screen only to have it snapped closed before she could determine what had Sara so intrigued.
"Oh. Nothing important." Sara smirked.
"Hmmm."
"What? Really, Cat, it was nothing." Sara set the computer on the end table and leaned over to give her lover a kiss.
"Ah! Nope!" Cat leaned away from Sara. "Not until you tell me."
Sara groaned and then shot her a small smile. "Fine. I was just looking up some travel schedules."
"You're leaving?" Cat stood and began to pace.
"Cat, no." Sara got up and wrapped her arms around the other woman. "Travel schedules for us. I thought maybe we could take a couple days before Lindsey gets back home."
"Oh, really?" Catherine smiled at Sara.
"Really." Sara pulled her in close and kissed the lips that were becoming her addiction. "I am not." Kiss. "Going." Kiss. "Anywhere." Sara deepened the kiss, letting Catherine know exactly how she felt about their relationship. When air became an issue they pulled apart, foreheads touching and arms wrapped tightly around the other.
"I think the Lab Rats know." Catherine declared.
"Wendy?" Sara guessed.
"Yeah. She heard us. I'm sure she told Hodges who I am sure told Henry and who knows who else in the lab." Catherine pulled Sara back over to the couch and they plopped down next to one another, resuming their embrace.
"Well, we said we weren't going to hide the fact that we are together." Sara stroked Catherine's back as she sat thinking for a few moments. "We could always have some fun with them."
Catherine smiled at the thought. "Well, I told Wendy 'I hope you enjoyed it' when she admitted she heard us making out."
Sara sat up, eyes wide. "Really! That's good! I would never have thought of that response. Not so quickly anyway." Sara chuckled. "Well, keep doing things like that. It will sooo mess with Hodges mind." They both laughed at the thought and the possibilities of how they could mess with the cocky lab tech.
Two days later, Sara and Catherine had their plan all set. Hodges, Mandy, Wendy and Henry were all in the break room eating and talking at the table. Soon, Archie arrived and sat down with them. Sara strode past Catherine's office, giving her a nod.
"Hey guys!" Sara greeted everyone as she entered the room and poured a cup of coffee.
"Hey, Sara. How's your seminar going?" Mandy asked with genuine interest. She seemed the least likely of the lab techs to be a gossip, but Sara took no chances.
"Oh, really well. We are going over how to preserve evidence correctly so it doesn't get contaminated."
"Yeah, that has been an issue. Why can't they learn to put on gloves? It would save me time processing prints that belong to our own guys." Mandy complained and then took a bite of her salad.
Sara took a seat at the end of the table and sipped her coffee. Catherine walked in and strode over to the minifridge, bending over to look for her lunch. She blatantly wiggled her behind, giving the table a show. The guys smirked at one another, causing Mandy and Wendy to roll their eyes. But all their faces turned wide eyed when they noticed one Sara Sidle sitting up and obviously staring at their Supervisors ass!
Sara sat back when Catherine stood. "What?" She asked of the lab techs.
They all turned back to their lunches mumbling "Nothing. Not a thing."
Catherine pulled up an extra chair and placed it next to Sara. VERY close to Sara. They all noticed. Catherine opened up the container with her salad and Sara took the packet of dressing on the table and poured it over the contents of the bowl. They both grinned at one another, knowing they were being watched.
Catherine picked up her fork and stabbed at the bowl, lifting it to her mouth and sensuously moaning as she slowly chewed. She grinned at Sara. "This is sooo good!" She took another stab at the salad, this time lifting the fork to Sara. "You HAVE to try this."
Sara grinned and leaned in to take the fork into her mouth, mimicking the sensuous sounds made by the older woman. Catherine leaned closer watching her intently, a sexy smile on her face. "So good, right?"
"MmmHmmm." Sara grinned. "Orgasmic!"
"Yeah?" Catherine asked, loading up her fork again and feeding it to Sara. "You like my flavor?"
Sara nearly choked at that comment and let out a hum as she chewed. Catherine looked over at the other members of night shift and grinned. They were all staring at them in shock. Mission accomplished! Catherine turned back to Sara abruptly when the fork was taken from her hand and a mouthful of salad was shoved in her direction. Sara sat grinning at her, waiting for her to take the bite. Catherine returned the grin. This was not part of the plan, but she came to play!
"Mmmmm! Sooo good, Sara!" She licked her lips. "My flavor tastes even better coming from you."
Loud clattering and shuffling could be heard from around the table. Both women turned slowly to their lunch companions, each stifling their laughter. "What?" They asked in unison.
