Dislaimer: Not mine

Spoiliers: Same as chap 1


Sara sighed as she pulled into her parking spot. �Another day
another dollar.� She muttered as she climbed the stairs to her
apartment. She unlocked the door and bent down and undid the zipper to
her boots before pulling them off and tossing them into a corner. She
wiggled her toes and sighed. Normally she would have stayed and worked
overtime but that was going to stop Sara vowed. She had to slowly start
distancing herself.


�Gil Grissom.� She said softly and went to her kitchen where
she turned her coffee machine on. She was going to have a long shower
then have a cup of coffee and maybe sleep. Sara sighed and went to her
bedroom where she proceeded to strip.


The hot water beat down on Sara, washing away the night�s
ugliness. The pain of loving but not being loved in return.

            /spa/span>All too soon to Sara�s mind the hot water ran out, forcing her
to end her shower. She grumbled as she threw on a tank top and shorts
before padding back into the kitchen where a nice hot pot of coffee sat
waiting for her. She poured herself a cup and inhaled the aroma. She
walked over to her table where she had thrown the mail before and
started sorting when a small brown envelope caught her eye. She put down
her coffee and grabbed the envelope.




�Howard and Nilwalker Attorneys at Law?� Sara said to herself
out loud. She noted the Montana address and slowly opened the letter,
dreading the contents. Not sure but still dreading.




�I�m being summoned? Oh God.� Sara said softly and
collapsed on her couch. Her eyes went blank as she remembered.
Remembered that weekend that changed her life forever.

Later that night��


Gil Grissom looked up as he heard a knock on the door.
�Enter.� He watched as Sara appeared as she opened the door. �Sara
what can I do for you?� He watched with puzzlement as she seemed to
hesitate. That was unlike Sara and Gil felt concern well up.




�Uh I�m going to be needing some time off. Umm, I�m going
to need September 10 to the 23 off.� Sara said quietly, not meeting
his eyes.




�That�s only 2 weeks off, don�t you think you should have
given me more notice?�


Sara lifted her head and clenched her jaw. �I�m sorry but
that�s all the notice I can give you.�


�May I ask why you need the time off on such short notice?�
Gil tilted his head as he watched one of the strongest people he knew
withdraw into herself.




�No.� Sara said and turned and left.


Gil felt as if he�d been slapped. It was one thing for Sara to
snap an answer at him when he got her riled, it was quite another for
her to say it calmly, without emotion.


Sara walked down the hallway towards the break room her mind
racing, her thoughts a jumble of different things. She didn�t notice
Warrick and Nick standing in the doorway until she bumped into them.
�Sorry.� She muttered and walked around them and sat down.


Warrick raised an eyebrow at Nick who just shrugged. They walked
into the room and sat down at the table both looking at Sara.


�Hey girl what�s up?� Warrick said softly. Sara just saying
�sorry� wasn�t like her. Normally she would have made some crack
comment or at least shot them a glare for blocking the way.




�Hmm? Oh nothing.� Sara said and turned inwards again. Her
eyes were shadowed and looked errily similar to what she had looked like
after the lab explosion. Confused, dazed and mixed up. The day after her
eyes had been dead, no emotion.




Nick looked worridly at Warrick. Something was up with Sara and
she wasn�t talking. Maybe Catherine would be able to make her talk.


Catherine walked into the break room and looked at the huddled
group before her. Warrick and Nicky were both sitting close to Sara who
was just looking spaced out. �Hey guys what�s up?� She asked as
she poured herself a cup of coffee.




�Not much.� Warrick said and stood up. Nick followed suit and
they each grabbed Catherine by the arm and dragged her outside into the
hallway.


�Cath something�s wrong with Sara but she�s as close lipped
as a clam. Could you maybe talk to her?�




Catherine looked back and forth between her two co workers. Both
wore expressions of worry. �Uh sure I�ll try.� She said and walked
back into the room and sat down beside Sara.


�Hey Sara what�s up? You seem kinda down.� Catherine said
and took a sip of her coffee.




Sara looked up and stared at her co-worker. �You can just stop
the act Catherine. We both know you don�t like me, let alone care
what�s the matter. Warrick and Nick put you up to this so don�t act
like you care.� Sara said bitterly. Her mind replaying Catherines�
words in her head.


�I like you. I care.� Catherine sputtered out. Her temper
slowly rising.


Sara narrowed her eyes and smiled. It wasn�t a nice smile. It
was a feral smirk. �If you like me so much why is it that you�ve
never acted like I was part of the team. You always seemed to imply that
if anyone was bringing down this team it was me. Oh yes I heard about
the comment about someone sniffing around. Then when Eddie died and we
were talking to your daughter? Remember that night? I sure do. So you
know what just save it Catherine. Save all your bull shit for someone
who actually gives a damn about what you think about them. �Cause I
sure as hell don�t. Now if you�ll excuse me I forgot to do
something.� Sara said and left the room, not looking back.


Sara walked down the hallway and spotted Warrick and Nick in the
visual room. She walked in and shut the door. �So guys when did you
decide that I wasn�t able to sort thru my problems and get Catherine
to be my shrink?� She asked calmly and closed the distance separating
them.


�Uhhh.� Was all that came from Warrick.


�Sara we were worried.� Nick said.


Sara walked over to Nick and poked a finger in his chest. �When
I need help I�ll ask for it. I don�t need you guys to worry about
me. That�s what friends are for.� Sara hissed out and stormed out of
the room, slamming to door.


�She just implied that we�re not friends.� Nick said and
looked at Warrick who had a solemn expression on his face.


�We gotta talk to Grissom about this.� Nick said and left the
room in search of Grissom who would be handing out assignments soon.

I know I know, it seems like they�re out of
character but are they? I mean look at how Catherine ripped Sara up and
how she�s always jumping on Sara. Nick and Warrick have their moments
too. Grissom well he�s Grissom.
