It was 6pm in las vegas and an alarm clock rang out waking up two lovers in the process. As both stired, it was grissom who eventually rolled over and turned it off. A moan was heard from under covers as sara turned over and snuggled deper into her lovers chest.

"i dont wanna go to work, it seems as if we only came home an hour ago"

Grissom who was wide awake now chuckled at this,

"well it only seems as if it were an hour ago..you crashed the minute we came in. We didnt even have time for other stuff!"

"im sorry baby" as she kissed his chest, "maybe we'l have more time tomorrow!...if your lucky"

Grissom got out of bed and strode into the bathroom chuckling to himself.

It was now the start of work for the grave shift las vegas criminal investigators. All members of staff were in the break room minus grissom. Greg was making his signature hawiian coffee, catherine was on the phone arguing with her daughter, nick and warrick were placing a bet on who would "whop" whos ass in the nba final and sara was on the couch reading the latest edition of the monthly forensics journal. Just then grissom waked in with papers in his hand as always to hand out assigments.

Everyone seem to stop what they were doing and take at seat at the large, glass, breakroom table, Grissom taking the head of the table, as always.

"right, assignments for tonight are as follows..... warrick and catherine have a DB at the flamingo.... maid found a male dead in a jacuzzi in a hotel suite, good luck go guys... nick and greg ye have a smash and grab in henderson, a jewellers on freemont st, a lot of glass in that store so double up on gloves and good luck to ye too."

Nick and greg along with warrick and catherine left the brakeroom in high spirits about their assignmets for the night.

" so that just leaves you and me miss sidle" as his gazed travelled to hers

"great, we havent worked together for a while, what have we got?"

" i know we havent thats why i thought it would be nice to pair you with me for a change. We have a DB out at on the strip. I have to make a call frst so ill meet you in the car?" as he hovers by the door,

" great ill see ya out there" And with that they departed also.

Sara and grissom arrived at their scene and it turns out is a dumpster dive in an alley just off the strip. Brass meets the two at the dumpster,

"hey you two, havent see ye two workin together for awhile, right so annonamyous tip phoned in it at approx 7pm, victim is female, sriped down to her underwear and thats about all we know"

"great" sara mutters to herself, knowing that she would have to be the one to go dumpster diving and it was very off putting. But she smiles and gets up on the ladder to take a closer look at the body.

"thanks jim" grissom passes brass and stands up on the step ladder with sara to get a closer look also. " soo...do you wanna go in or shall I?" grissom starts,

sara looks at him startled but then smiles, "ya like i have choice"

grissom gives her a hand getting in and they begin process the scene.

About 5 hours later, grissom and sara arrive back at the lab, grissom satisified from all the evidence they obtained and sara a little worn out and a bit nausiated from being in a dumpster for the better half of two hours. Grissom must obvisouly notice something as he turns to her the hall,

"you ok? You were awfully quiet on the way back, and you look a little pale"

she does her best to put him off as she doesnt like to be closely examined by anyone

"eh..ya just in dire need of a shower, im fine...il ah meet you in autopsy in lets say 30 minutes?"

grissom not convinced but decides not to push further replys " ya sure ill meet ya there oh and grab an apple or something it might boost your energy"

sara turns and walks towards the showers while muttering something that grissom cant catch. He turns and walks in the opposite direction.

A little over 40 minutes later sara joins Doc robbins and grissom in the autopsy room, "sorry im late, damn showers are on the fritz again" as she looks directly at grissom when she says it.

" ok ill report it to ecklie next time i see him"

Doc Robbins who always enjoys the banter between these two decides to break the tension ,

"alright lets get started, female jane doe, she was in good physical condition, healthy"

"so COD was Doc???" grissom interrupts getting an annoyed look from sara in the process,

"it was blunt force trauma to the head, come here look at this" Robbins points to the skull of the victim. As sara and grissom bend over the victim, sara seems to immediately back away, as grissom examines the wound, Robbins has noticed that sara looks really pale even turning green perhaps.

" sara are you ok? You dont look very well" AL bearly has the words out his mouth when sara excuses herself from the room and bolts down the hall, leaving both Doc Robins and Grissom looking rather confused.

"whats wrong with her? In all the years i know sara shes never gotten sick from a wound like that. "

Grissom could do nothing but shrug, " i dont know Doc but lets finish up here and ill go check on her"

About 20 minutes later grissom found sara in the breakroom alone,

"are you ok?" she stilled looked a bit pale but she smiled at him anyway and handed him a coffee,

"ya, dont know what came over me, i might be coming down with something" she said as he refused to make eye contact but he didnt reply so she looked at him and saw genuine concern in his eyes and suddenly she felt guilty and didnt know why. She looked around to see if anyone was watching them and then took his hand ever so gently " im fine honey, dont worry. So catch me up what did doc say?"
