"Sara, you need to go home. You are not feeling well."

"But I'm fine, Catherine."

In her best mother voice, Catherine responded. "As your acting supervisor, I am telling you. Take the night off and go to bed."

"Catherine, I don't want to argue with you. I need to go see Archie and then the fingerprint lab to find out about that breaking and entering case I am working."

"You're going to be stubborn about this, aren't you?"

Sara crossed her arms and stood there. "Are we finished, Catherine?"

"No, this is not finished. I am taking you home myself just as soon as I let Warrick and the rest of the team know."

Sara just plopped down on the couch in Catherine's office and pouted. She laid her head back and was beginning to realize just how terrible she felt when she heard Catherine walking back toward the office.

"Ready to go?" Catherine said, before realizing that Sara had fallen asleep on the couch. She couldn't bear to wake her…Sara looked so peaceful laying there. Catherine gently moved Sara so that she was lying down. Then Catherine walked over to the cabinet and pulled out a blanket that she kept there for Lindsey. After she had covered Sara up, she rubbed her forehead for just a bit before standing up. She walked out of her office and to the break room and told the team that until Sara woke up, she would be there in the lab.

Several hours later…

Sara rolled over and sat up, not exactly sure where she was at first.

"Hi, Sara, feeling any better?"

"Umm… not really. I think I will just go home now."

"Well…shift was over about an hour ago."

"Oh, wow! I don't know what came over me."

"I do. You are sick and you are going home to my house."

"But, Catherine! I am quite capable of taking care of myself." Sara said as she tried to stand up. The sudden movement caused her to nearly fall down.

Catherine rushed to grab Sara to prevent her from falling down. She helped Sara sit back down on the couch.

"I just got dizzy for a second." Sara paused as she tried to stop her head from spinning. "I will be fine."

"And what kind of friend would I be if I were to let you drive in this condition? You could get into an accident."

"Well, fine… drive me home and let me be." Sara said, her energy draining out of her very quickly.

"But who will take care of you? If you stay by yourself, you may be too tired to fix yourself something to eat, or you won't rest, or you wont go to the doctor or you might try to get out of taking your medicine." Catherine knew she was beginning to ramble, but she knew how much Sara needed someone right now. She knew Sara had been made to fend for herself for too long. "So, what do you say?"
