Chapter Eleven: Butterfeld academy

Monday morning Sara wakes up to her alarm clock going off in her ear. She rolls over and hit the off button. Then Sara turns back over and looks at Gil that sleep through the alarm going off and the reason for this is he did not go to bed till five in the morning, because he stays up all night unpacking the rest of the boxes. Sara lays in bed for ten more minute before get out of bed then walk over to the closet to pick out the outfit she is going to wear to the court trial Greg and she has to give testimony on for the Underhill case that the two of them work on. Sara's starts getting dress but only makes it as far as put on her black pencil skirt that come to the knees in length, before having to run into the connected bathroom and over to the toilet. Sara kneels down in front of the toilet and start vomiting. Gil wakes up when he hears Sara vomiting, he gets out of bed and then walk up behind Sara and pulls her hair out of her face. A minute later Sara stop getting sick to her stomach and Gil let go of her hair. Sara then stands up and walk over to the sink and brush her tooth and then throw some water on her face. Then walks out of the bathroom and into the bedroom and finish get dress. A few minutes later Sara sits down on the bed and put on her shoes. She then goes into the bathroom and does her hair and puts on some makeup. The whole time she was finishing getting ready Gil was watching her.

"Honey are you ok?"

"Yes, it just morning sickness is all!"

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Sara is putting her make up away when Gil stands up from the bed and walk into bathroom and over to Sara. Gil then puts his right-hand onto Sara's forehead, which does not feel warm.

"I guess you are right because you not running a fever."

"I told you that I am fine."

"Yawning."

"Go back to bed Gil, I will see you tonight at work or when I done give my testimony."

"Ok, call me when you are finish at court."

"Sure Gil.:

Sara kiss Gil on the lips and lead him out of the bathroom and over to the bed and once Gil is in bed Sara cover him up with the bedspread. Sara grabs her purse and the case note and Gil wave goodbye to her as she walks out the bedroom door. Sara close the door of the bedroom once she is out of the room, then heads downstairs and on her way out of the house she stops to make sure the answering machine is on. Then Sara goes out to her SUV and driver to the court house. Once at the court house Sara sits down on a bench outside the court room that the case is be hold in and waits for Greg to get there, but Greg never shows up and when it near the time for court to start Sara walks up to the two lawyers and tell the two lawyers that she would be give both testimony and that means instead of being in court just in the morning she did not get out to ten minutes before having to head to the crime lab for the night shift. Sara had called Gil doing the lunch recess and told him what was going on. When Sara gets to the crime lab, she heads to the locker room. Once in the locker room Sara put her purse into her locker along with her black blazer. As Sara is close her locker Greg, Nick and Warrick walk into the locker room, Sara give Greg a evil look as all the guys sit down on the bench in front of their lockers and Greg puts his elbows on his knees and rest his head in his hand.

"Ahem Sara what was that look for?"

"Why were you not at court today to give your testimony?"

"What testimony Sara?"

"For the Underhill case, you had to do testimony on the evidences that you collect from outside the house."

"That was today?"

"Yes Greg and I do not like it when I have to give testimony on evidences I do not collect, without the CSI that collected the evidences going over it with me first!"

"(Nick and Warrick) you skip out on give testimony in a court case!"

"I did not mean to. I did not even know what day it was when the night shift end this morning. I felt so bad because of the nasal congestion, sore throat, upset stomach, running a fever and been achy all over. I went home and crawl into bed to my alarm went off to come in for work."

"When you can't make a court date Greg, you get someone to cover for you. You just do not skip out on it. I cover for you today but I won't do again, if you do not call me and ask or ask me in person."

"You do not have to be so rude about it Sara."

"I am not be rude Greg!"

"All four of you come to the break room right now!"

Sara, Nick, Greg and Warrick turn they head toward the locker room door and see Gil Grissom standing there. Sara walks out of the locker, as Nick, Warrick and Greg stand up from the bench and then head to the break room. Once Greg, Warrick sees Sara and Gil sitting at the table, so the three male CSI sits down on the break room couch. Gil Grissom looks at Nick, Warrick and Greg for a few minute then looks down at the cases in front of him and at the same time Sofia walk into the break room. Sofia walks over to the couch and sits down beside Nick on his right side, Greg sitting on Nick left side and Warrick is sitting next to Greg. Gil stands up from the chair he sitting on and walks to the end of the table, then turns so he is facing everyone and he is between the table and the couch.

"All-right team we have a 420 Homicide at Butterfeld academy and I need all head on deck tonight and Sofia is working the case too."

'Greg but Sofia fill in for Ecklie and she a Detective now, why are you helping us on this case."

'Have you not notice Catherine not here, but that is not the reason I am help Grissom will tell you that?"

"I thought she was running late."

"She is Greg and you are in DNA tonight because Wendy in the hospital because of the flu/stomach flu."

Greg does not say anything to Gil Grissom, but lay his head on the back of the couch and close his eyes. At the same time Nick pulls a tissue out of his left jean pocket and blows his nose.

"Greg did you hear what I said?"

"What Gil?"

"Greg go to the DNA lab now!"

"Ahem do I have too, I think that I caught the flu/stomach flu that going around?"

"Yes!"

Greg stands up and gives Grissom an evil look as he walks by him. Greg then walks out of the break room and start heading toward the DNA lab, but ends up running to the men's restroom and gets sick to his stomach. Meanwhile, in the break room Sara, Nick and Warrick are looks at Gil.

"Where is Catherine at?"

"She is meeting us at the crime scene and that all you need to know Nick."

Nick, Warrick, Sara and Sofia stand up and then Gil, Nick, Warrick, Sara and Sofia all walk out of the break room and to the locker room to get their crime scene kit, everyone heads out to the parking lot and over to the SUV's. Sara and Gil take one SUV and Sofia driver the other one with Nick in the passengers' seat and Warrick in the backseat of the SUV. By the time Sofia and Gil has parked the SUV in front of Butterfeld Academy, Nick and Warrick are asleep. Sara and Gil get the crime scene kits out of the back of the SUV then walk over to the other SUV, To see that only Sofia had got out so far. Sara looks through the driver side window and sees that Nick and Warrick are both asleep.

"Gil you need to wake the guys up they are asleep on the job."

"What?"

"They fall asleep on the way to the crime scene, Gil I do not think they feel well."

"Ok Sofia.

"They do look pale!"

Gil looks through the window of the driver side door and Sofia walk over to the side Warrick is not laying his head on and open up the door and sits down on the seat and then she shakes him and Nick who sitting on the seat in front of her. But the guy did not wake up. Sofia gets out of the back of the SUV and then walks to the other side and gets into the SUV. Sofia sits down on the driver seat then turn the cd player on really loud and both Nick and Warrick jump up in their seat and look at Sofia, at the same time Catherine walks over to the crime lab SUV.

"God turn that music down Sofia, I'm sleeping."

"So I'm I."

"Warrick and Nick you are sleep on the job and we have a crime scene to process guys get up and grab you kits because Jim Brass is wait on us."

"(Warrick and Nick) go away, I'm sick!"

"Get up now!"

"(Warrick and Nick) No!"

"Get up Nick and Warrick the faster we get the scene process the sooner we can leave the scene and head to the crime lab then the two of you can go to the break room and sleep to the DNA, trace and toxic has some information for you."

"(Warrick and Nick) fine Catherine."

Nick and Warrick slow get out of the SUV and grab they kit and then follow Sara, Gil, Sofia and Catherine into the school. When they get to the door of the school they all had to step back because Dr. Robbins and David run out the door and get sick to they stomach in the flower bed. The CSI just stares at the two coroners who are got sick in front of them and Jim Brass walks over to them.

"I have to ask this after seeing the coroners get sick. But have you had dinner yet?"

"No."

"That probably good Catherine what about you Sara."

"yes I eat dinner Brass."

"I hope you can keep it down. Nick and Warrick have you eat dinner?"

"(Warrick and Nick) No."

"Gil did you eat dinner?"

"Yes Jim."

"Sofia did you have dinner?"

"Yes"

"I have to say it is the first time I saw the coroners have to run outside to get sick. It usually the police officers that watch the bodies until you get here that has to run out and get sick, but this time they seem to be doing better then Dr. Robbins and David are."

Dr. Robbins and David walk over to the CSI and Brass and everyone looks at each other. Nick, Warrick, Sofia, Sara, Gil and Jim can tell by looking at Dr. Robbins and David that neither of them feels well. At the same time Nick start sneezing into his left elbow and Warrick wraps his left arm around his stomach and put his right hand on his forehead.

"Dr. Robbins do you two have the time of death for us?"

"Yes Gil all the dead teenagers that are inside have been dead since around noon. David and I will be in the coroner van let us know when we can take the bodies."

"I will Dr. Robbins."

"Thank you Gil."

The CSI and Jim Brass walk up the steps of the school as David and Dr. Robbins walks over to the coroner van. A few moments later Gil, Sara, Sofia, Warrick, Catherine, Nick and Jim Brass walk into Butterfeld Academy and see a sight none of them thought they would see at a school that is as close-knit as this school was or from one that had strict rules and a dress code. They were bodies all over the main hallway and everyone one of them had been shot in the head more then once. There was blood all over the walls, lockers and the floor, along with tons of bullet cartridges.

"Let get start working the crime scene. Nick's I want you to take pictures of the crime scene. Warrick you with me and we are going to start dusting the area for fingerprints and Catherine, Sara and Sofia start processing the scene.

"(Catherine, Nick, Warrick, Sofia and Sara) Yes Grissom."

Nick takes pictures of the bodies first and then Sarah, Sofia and Catherine start collection evidences from that area after Nick done take the pictures. Nick moves on to take pictures of the blood on the lockers, but only get one picture before running outside and is followed by Warrick. Once outside Nick and Warrick throws up on the grass that is just off the sidewalk and a few minute later walks into the school and goes back to work. After about two hours David and Dr. Robbins come in and load the twenty bodies into the two coroner vans that are at the crime scene and then take the bodies back to the lab. The CSI still have about three hours of work ahead of them before they could go back to the lab.

"Catherine I need to go outside and get some fresh the iron smell has start to get to me."

"I will join you Sara."

"So will I."

"(Catherine and Sara) that is fine Sofia."

Sara, Catherine and Sofia walk out of the school and Nick and Warrick starts to follow the three ladies outside, when Gil notices then head outside. Gil Grissom walks up to Nick and Warrick and stops in front of Warrick and Nick so they cannot go outside.

"Nick and Warrick you can take a break when the ladies come back in from they break."

"Nick and Warrick) I really need to get some fresh air Grissom."

"We all can't take breaks at the some time."

"(Nick and Warrick) fine."

Nick. Warrick and Gil walks away from the front doors of the school and get back to work processing the crime scene. At the same time outside Sara, Catherine and Sofia are sitting on the edge of the sidewalk talk to each other.

"Cath how Lindsey doing?"

"She is doing well and is happy that Kevin stay with us."

"His sister still in the hospital recovering from the school shooting right?"

"Yes she is Sofia and she going to be in there for a while, because she has to get used to being in a wheelchair."

"Sara Is everything ok?"

"Yes Sofia, I am a little tired and my skirt is way too tight, I think I gain ten pounds over night."

"Lindsey feels the some way, she went to put on a pair of pant for school yesterday and she could not even pull them up past her hips.

At the same time Gil Grissom walk up to the female CSI and tap Sara on the shoulder,
Sara turns her head and look up at Gil. Gil kneels down so he is at Sara, Sofia and Catherine height, as Sara starts to talk.

"What is it Gil."

"Can the three of you go back to work, so Nick and Warrick can take a break?"

(Sara, Catherine and Sofia) no."

"Come on Nick and Warrick look like they are going to throw up any second."

"(Sara, Catherine and Sofia) I was joke."

Sara, Catherine and Sofia stand up and head back inside the school building and Nick and Warrick runs outside then lay down on the sidewalk. Sara, Gil, Catherine and Sofia are working on processing the scene again and start laughing when they look up and see Nick and Warrick laying on the sidewalk with they eyes close, after finishing processing the crime scene the CSI's loads all the evidence into the back of the two SUV. Catherine, Sara, Gil, Warrick, Nick and Sofia get to the crime lab at sunrise on Tuesday morning. The CSI all head into the lab and check the evidence into the evidence room. Then Sofia, Warrick, Nick and Gil go about working on different area of the case by their self. Gil Grissom has let Sara leave the lab to go buy some clothing that fits and Catherine has left to take Lindsey to an obgyn appointment. Sarah comes back from shopping to find that both Warrick and Nick went home sick and that Catherine had not come back to work because Lindsey boyfriend Kevin was running and very high fever and Lindsey could not get the fever to go down, so she had to take him to the ER. Sara who is now wearing a red empire waist blouse and a new pair of black jeans, walks down the hallways and toward the Ballistic lab to see if Bobby Dawson has any info on what type of gun was use in the shoot. Two minute later Sara's walk into his lab and find Bobby asleep at his desk. Sara laughs quietly at herself at this sight, because Bobby Dawson never falls asleep on the job. He loves his job way too much to take a nap doing a shift and the two of them are tied for the number of days they can stay up without sleep when working on a case. The number of days the two of them can stay up for is five in a roll. Sara walks over to Bobby and sits down on his desk next to his head and then lean down and whispers into his ear.

"Bobby's it is time to wake up!"

Bobby sits up, then lean back in his chair as he rubs his eyes when he finishes rubbing his eyes' looks at Sara and sees that she is sitting on his desk and has a smile on her face. Bobby's cross his arm over his chest and then start to talk.

"What Sara?"

"You were sleep on the job Bobby."

"And you are sitting on my desk."

"You are using the chair, have you run the bullet cartridges for the Butterfeld academy or test fire the two guns find at the scene yet?"

"No I haven't start running the cartridges yet, but I did test fire the two guns."

"And why have you not run them you had all morning to run them?"

"I can't seem to stay awake today, my stomach brother me. In addition I have a tickle in my throat and my whole body is achy."

"Sound like you are come down with that flu/stomach flu that is going around."

"God I hope not because I hate being sick."

"I do not think anyone like be sick Bobby."

"I will get to work running the cartridges from the shooting now."

"Take your time, go get a cup of coffee first maybe that help wake you up."

"No, I will stick to drinking just water and by the way congratulate, Greg told me you are pregnant."

"Thank you and let hope you are not get sick."

"I hope not."

Bobby stop talking and lay his head back down on the desk and wrap his arms around his stomach. Sara puts her right hand onto to Bobby's forehead, which feels a little warm to the touch. Sara takes her hand off Bobby's forehead and give him a worried look.

"Bobby's it feels like you running a low grade fever, call the day guy in and have him cover for you. Then go home and get some rest."

"That sound like a good Idea and I think I'm going to do that."

Sara stands up from the desk and then walks out ballistic lab and head toward the DNA lab. At the same time Bobby pick up the phone on his desk and call Dale the day ballistic guy and Dale answers the phone after three rings.

"Hello"

"Hi Dale this is Bobby Dawson, did I wake you?"

"Yes but it ok, what do you need?"

"Can you come in and cover for me, I need to go home sick?"

"Sure Bobby's I will come in and cover for you. Since when I had the flu/stomach flu you cover my shift, I will be there in five."

"Thank you."

"Go home now, you do not need to wait for me to get there. Just leave me a note on what need to be done."

"Ok, I will."

Bobby and Dale hang up and Bobby writes down what he needs to run and which bag the bullet cartridges that were from the guns he tests fire and what bag cartridges that were found at the crime scene are in. Bobby then stands up from his desk and walks out of his lab. As he is walking down the hallway, Sofia walks up to him.

"You should be in you lab working Bobby or is there something you need?"

"I do not feel well Ah-choo."

"Bless you, do you need to go home?"

"Yes and I all ready call Dale in and ask him to come in and cover the rest of my shift."

"Then take off and I hope you feel better and it not that flu/stomach flu that going around the lab."

Sofia walks toward the break room to finish up the paperwork and Bobby head out to his car in the parking lot. Meanwhile Sara is at the DNA lab bugging Greg who is trying his hard not to get sick on Sara or the evidence he was working on.

"Sara just leave me alone!"

"No, because if I leave the DNA lab you go back over to Wendy's desk and lay your head down and go to sleep and I do need the DNA results."

"Sniffling go talk to Dr. Robbins or David about the victims."

"Gil did that already."

"Then go and talk to Bobby Dawson."

"I would but he went home because he is not feeling well. Dale from day is coming in to cover the rest of his shift."

"That is not fine, I try to get Sofia to let me go home sick gagging but she would not let me!"

"That because Wendy in the hospital and the day guy out of town because of a death in his family Greg, so there is no one to cover for you."

Greg runs over to the trash can and start throwing up into the trash can. Sara grabs the desk chair then walk over to Greg and help Greg sit down so the trash can is not as far away. She then goes over and wet a paper towel down with cooler water and come back and hold it up against Greg's forehead to help cool him down. A couple minutes later Greg stop get sick to his stomach and rest his back against the back of the chair.

"Thank you Sara, my leg was start to give out on me."

"No big deal, I just do not want you to fall down because I cannot pick you up if you did."

"And thank for wetting down a paper towel to help cool me down."

"I am going to take you home."

"But there is no one to cover for me."

"We will just have to run the DNA on our own Greg you are in no shape to be here."

Sara takes Greg hand and pull Greg up from the chair he is sitting on, then Sara help Greg's walk down the hallway and to the main door of the lab. Then Sara helps Greg out to her car in the parking lot. Sara driver Greg home and twelve minutes later Sara pulls into Greg's apartment building parking lot and take the empty spot by the door. Sara then helps Greg out of her car and up to his place and make sure he gets inside. Sara then helps Greg into his bedroom and over to his bed because his legs are not supporting him. Greg holds on to Sara until he has sitting down on the bed. Greg takes his shoes off and then lay down on the bed.

"Do you need anything before I leave?"

"Can you bring the bathroom trash can in here for me and can you also grab the thermometer out of my medicined cabinet?"

"Sure Greg."

Sara walks out of the bedroom and across the hall into the bathroom and grab the trash can. Sara then grabs the thermometer out of the medicine cabinet. A minute later Sara walks into Greg's bedroom and set the trash can by his bed and then turn the digital thermometer and then hand the thermometer to Greg, who puts the thermometer into his mouth. When the thermometer beeps Sara's take the thermometer out of Greg's mouth because he has shut his eyes. Sara looks at the digital display to see what it says.

"What does it say?"

"You have a fever of 104.1 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Thank you Sara and you should go now, you do not need to been around me and you did not want get the flu/stomach flu."

"Ok, but if you need anything call me or Gil and we come and help you."

"Ok, bu I should be fine now that I am home. Can you turn the light off and lock the door on your way out?"

"Yes and feel better."

Sara walks over to the bedroom door and flip the light switch that is on the wall on the right side of the door, if standing in the door. Sara looks at Greg one last time then walk out of Greg's bedroom and head to the apartment door. A few minutes later Sara pulls her car out of the parking lot of Greg building and goes back to the crime lab. Once at the crime lab Sara head to the DNA lab and start run the DNA result herself. Gil walks into the DNA lab at four o'clock Tuesday evening and looks around for Greg, but cannot find him, he then sees that Sara is running the DNA result for Butterfeld Academy.

"Sara where is Greg at?"

"I take him home. He was in no shape to be here. He keep having to stop working to throwing up in the trash can and he was getting really weak. Before I left his house to come back to the lab I check his temperature and it was 104.1 degrees Fahrenheit."

"You did the right thing. I will take over for you go home and have some dinner, then read for a little while and get some sleep. In addition I do not want you to come back until your next shift."

"All right, I am hunger and start too get tired."

Sara walks out of the DNA lab and goes to the locker room to her purse and car keys. Five minutes later Sara is head home.
