A special thanks to everyone who has read and revied my fanfic.
A/N Hello all, sorry thisstory took so long to update, i've been really busy. Thank you for all of the kind reviews, I didn't get the funny feeling that I was going to be linched, as I did after I posted the first chapter lol. Enjoy!
The ride to the police station had been a very quiet one, in fact, Sara had hardly said a single word since she got the call from Detective Foster, and had told Nick about it.
This whole ordeal was extremely hard on Sara, what happened to her was bad enough, and the fact that it was her boss, and close friend who had hurt her like that made things much worse. Sara had been very confused about the whole thing, for she didn't understand why Grissom would do something like that to her, especially since he had rejected the affections that he knew she had for him, time and time again. Now,
things got even more confusing for Sara, after she received the call from Detective Foster.
The news that the detective had told Sara had left her in shock. How could it not be Grissom? Sara didn't understand, she had saw his face,
she had seen him. She couldn't possibly be wrong about something like that, right? Sure, Sara wished that it wasn't Grissom, she wished that it was a mistake, that she had really been wrong. She wanted to believe that it wasn't Grissom, to believe that he didn't do it, but how was that possible?
Meanwhile, at the crime lab, Warrick Brown had just walked into the break room, also into the middle of what was quickly becoming a heated despute.
" So, what are you saying, what, that Sara is lying, " Greg shouted.
" Sara wouldn't lie, "
" I'm not saying that Sara is lying, " Catherine spat back, quickly.
" So, just what are you saying then, " Greg asked, it was clear from the sound of his voice, that he was really angry.
" I'm just saying, that Gil would never do something like that, not to anyone, especially not Sara, " Catherine replied, with an equal amount of anger in her voice.
Greg moved closer to Catherine, so close in fact, that he was now standing directly in her face.
" So, what you're really saying is that Sara's lying, " Greg shouted,
getting right in Catherine's face.
" I don't know what's going on with Sara, Greg! What I do know, is that Gil is not lying, " Catherine said loudly, getting more angry by the minute.
" You do NOT know that, Catherine, " Greg spat. " I believe Sara, she's my friend, and if she says Grissom hurt her, I believe her, "
Catherine opened her mouth, and was just about to shout something else,
when a rather shocked Warrick stepped between them, pushing Greg and Catherine away from each other.
" Hey, break it up, you guys. Fighting isn't going to make things any better, " Warrick said.
Warrick was about to say more, but before he had a chance, Greg came towards Catherine again. Warrick grabbed the young CSI by the arm, preventing him from going any further. By now, he could see that breaking up this fight, was going to be tough.
" Hey Greg, calm down, man, he said.
" Calm down, you want me to calm down? Do you hear what she's saying about Sara, " Greg shouted.
" Yeah man, I hear what she's saying, but fighting is not doing any good, " Warrick replied.
" So, you're saying Sara's lying too, " Greg asked, his voice filled with anger.
" No, i'm not saying that, Greg. All i'm saying is that fighting won't solve anything. I don't think that Sara's lying, but i'm not sure Grissom's lying either, " Warrick said.
" Sara said..., " Greg started, but he was quickly cut off.
" I know what Sara said, man, "Warrick cut in. " I'm sure there is a logical answer here, we'll just have to wait and see what it is, "
" So, you're on their side, " Catherine asked.
" I'm not on anyone's side, Cath. We should all be on the same side here, we've all known each other for a long time now. You guys are like family to me, I hope you feel them same, " Warrick said.
Both Catherine and Greg nodded, it was the first thing they had actually agreed on since Warrick had got there.
" So, we should all share the same goal here, to find out who hurt Sara, " Warrick said.
" Yes, but it's not Grissom, " Catherine said sternly. " Gil's spent his whole life putting people behind bars for doing the same thing Sara's accusing him of, so there's no way that he'd hurt anyone like that, especially not Sara. Another thing you're forgetting, is the fact that there was DNA found, it wasn't Grissom's, so how could Grissom possibly have done it, "
" Grissom is smart, he could have just planted that DNA, " Greg said.
" And why would he do that, if he didn't even try to cover his face, " Catherine asked.
"Hey, enough! I don't know what's going on, but we're sure as hell going to find out, " Warrick said, stopping the battle once again.
Warrick seemed to be the smartest one in the room, at the moment.Warrick was quite surprised when he walked into the break room, and saw Greg and Catherine going at it. Greg had always had a pretty stable temper, there wasn't much that made him angry enough to fight. Catherine had always been a very caring person, who hardly ever doubted the word of a victim. However, this time things were different, and Warrick could understand why there was such conflict between the team. Warrick himself didn't believe that Sara was lying, however, he found it really hard to believe that Grissom would ever do a thing like that. After he found out that the DNA taken from Sara wasn't Grissom's, he didn't know what to think, it was a very confusing sittuation. Would they ever learn the truth?
Nick and Sara finally arrived at the police station, although in reality, it didn't take very long at all, to Sara, it seemed like the drive took forever.
Nick parked his SUV, and looked over at Sara. God, I can't imagine how she must be feeling. He thoughtto himself.
" Sara... are you alright, " Nick asked softly.
Sara looked over at her friend, then looked back down at the floor, but still didn't answer.
" Sara, " Nick said, hoping to get her attention.
" I... I'm scared, Nick, " Sara replied, finally.
" Hey, that's normal, Sara, " Nick said softly, as he wrapped his arm around her.
Sara hoped that Nick hadn't felt her flinch.
" It... it's not normal for me, " Sara replied, then the tears started to fall. " I... I m - mean look at me... I... I'mcrying like... likea baby. I... I'm a... a whimp, "
" Hey, just because you cry, or because you're scared, it doesn't mean that you're a whimp, " Nick said. " Everyone gets scared, I... I know how it is to be afraid, but you can't let that fear win, you have to try and move on. I know it won't be easy, and it will take time, but things will get better, "
Sara brushed the tears from her eyes.
" Well, I... I guess we better go in, " she said.
" Yeah, I guess we better, " Nick said.
Then the two both opened their doors, and they were just about to step out of the SUV when Sara said, " Nick, thank you, "
" Anytime, Sara, " Nick replied.
With that, the two headed into the police station. Once inside, they saw someone they knew, someone that they knew very well, walking towards them,Grissom.
