Chapter 14
"Grissom!"
Grissom jolted up from sleep to see a slightly amused Warrick.
"Is Sara okay?" Grissom asked the first thought that entered his head.
"She's fine, she's asleep"
"Thank God" Grissom whispered before he fully woke up. "What you doing here?"
"An officer…officer Jackson" Warrick said looking down at the brown file he had in his hand "reports seeing Conrad Ecklie tampering with the crime scene"
"What?" Grissom asked in surprise.
"Jackson told Jim Brass, he sae Ecklie emptying the gun of its bullets at the crime scene, and also says Ecklie told everyone at the scene he had processed the front door for any break in evidence, when Jackson was sure Ecklie never left the bedroom"
"Son of a bitch, he framed us"
"Yep, me and Catherine are going over to your place, to process the door and see if Ecklie deposited of the bullets there"
"Thank you Warrick" Grissom yawned.
"Its okay Griss, you go back to sleep" Warrick chuckled "you'll be out of her in no time" with that said Warrick left Grissom to lay back down and fall into a restful sleep. Grissom was sure his team would catch Ecklie.
X--x
"Cath, I have signs of a break in," Warrick said talking photos of the busted lock on Grissoms front door.
"Warrick, how come we never noticed that Sara was being abused?" Catherine asked, this question has been playing on her mind since the team found out.
"She's a quiet girl, she hides her problems pretty well," Warrick said in a soft tone.
"And we call ourselves investigators" Catherine sighed whilst looking through a trashcan in Gil's kitchen.
"Look what I found!" Catherine showed the 6 bullets she had found in the trashcan to Warrick.
"Conrad must have dumped them there, knowing we wouldn't search in the kitchen"Warrick said finishing off processing the door.
Putting the bullets in an evidence bag, Catherine spoke "we got him Rick, we can arrest him on withholding evidence, and Gil and Sara will be off the hook!"
(Ring ring)
Warrick flipped his phone up.
"Brown"
"Hey Warrick, the gun you found at your crime scene, is registered to Conrad Ecklie"
"Thanks Bobby"
Warrick shit his phone and turned to Catherine with a big grin on his face.
"What?" Catherine smirked.
"The gun Hank had, guess who it is registered to?"
"Conrad Ecklie!"
"Yep"
"Ill phone Jim, while you finish off here" Catherine said exiting Gils apartment into the corridor.
Warrick finished packing his kit away just in time for Catherine to reappear in the doorway.
"Jim is going to release Sara and Gil, then bring Ecklie in for questioning"
"That's great come on, lets go greet Sara and Griss" with that said Warrick and Catherine left the townhouse and headed for the lab where they'd log the evidence in and go to the police station to greet there two friends.
X--x
"Sara, wake up" Brass raised his voice to a sleeping beauty.
Sara still didn't move.
"Sara!" Brass yelled
"Huh what?" Sara jumped up in shock and gave Brass a shy smile.
"Well good morning to you too, sleepy head" Brass chuckled.
"What time is it?" Sara asked whilst stretching.
"10.30 come on ill book you out"
"What?" Sara asked surprised.
"Your free to go" Brass grinned.
"What? How?"
"Gil can explain later" Brass said opening the sliding door and leading Sara out to the front desk.
"Grissom!" Sara yelled before running up to him and wrapping her arms around him so tight they both could hardly breath.
"Honey, are you okay?" Grissom whispered into Sara's hair.
"I am now" Sara smiled into Grissom chest.
"Guys there's time for that later" Brass winked heading to the front desk with Grissom and Sara in tow.
"Sara, Griss" Catherine screamed, whilst walking toward them with Warrick, Nick and Greg in tow.
"Hey" Sara smiled accepting all hugs of the team whilst Grissom was still getting booked out at the front desk.
"So where are you both off to?" Nick asked Grissom, when he appeared at Sara's side.
"Oh…erm…" Grissom looked over at Sara for an answer, but she only shrugged.
"Well as you are clearly not doing anything, how about joining us for breakfast at the new diner of the strip?"
"Sure" Grissom smiled.
"Let me get a shower and get cleaned up, and ill meet you in the break room in 20 minutes" Sara said glad that she can get cleaned up.
"Alright we'll see you then" Grissom winked, and followed Nick Catherine, Greg and Warrick into the break room.
X--x
20 minutes later Sara was walking down the corridor in the lab with a skip in her step.
She had, had a shower and was glad she found a set of spare clothes in her locker.
Before walking into the break room she heard the team talking which caused her to pause and listen.
Nick: "How do you think Sara is holding up Grissom?"
Grissom: "I think she's okay, I know these past few months have been so hard for her, but now she's safe, so she can put all this behind her."
Warrick: "Yeah and we will all be here for her no matter what!"
Greg/Nick/Catherine, "Yeah!"
Sara guessed this was her time to enter.
"Talking about me?" Sara smiled letting them know she heard everything.
"We was only saying that we are all her for you if you ever need to talk, or just for a shoulder to cry on" Nick said softly.
"Thank you, all of you, for everything" Sara smiled taking a seat next to Grissom on the break room couch.
"That's what friends are for" Greg winked.
After a few minutes of silence, Warrick spoke up "Im starving, come on let's go"
Everyone all agreed with Warrick and rose from their seats.
"Who's going in whose car?" Nick asked realising Sara and Grissom didn't have their SUV's.
"Catherine and Greg can come with me, and Sara and Grissom can go with you Nicky" Warrick said with a small smile.
"Okay, lets go, im going to waste away" Greg whined
All the team laughed at Gregs remark before heading to their cars.
"Nick, we'll meet you at the car in 5 minutes" Grissom spoke glancing at Sara and noticed her slightly confused look.
"Okay boss" Nick left the break room leaving a Sara and Grissom alone.
"You okay Gil?" Sara questioned.
"Am great" Grissom smiled softly "i was just wondering, if you wanted to tell the team about us?"
So its offical, i am so happy right now, i know the team would keep it amongst themselves. they have helped us so much, they dont deserve to be kept in the dark.
"Sure" Sara smiled.
Grining widley at her, Grissom placed his hand at the small of her back and led her to Nicks car.
"Hey guys, you ready?" Nick asked when Sara and Grissom got in the back seats.
"Yep" Sara grinned.
I cant wait to tell the guys, they face expressions will be priceless. Grissom thought.
x--x
The drive to the dinar was relitivly quite. Sara and Grissom kept sneaking glances at each other and smiling.
--
Exiting the car and entering the diner, they saw the rest of the team sitting at a round table, near the entrance. Catherine was sat in between Warrick and Greg.
"Did you get lost Nicky?" Catherine asked whilst Nick took the seat next to Greg, Grissom took the seat next to Nick, leaving Sara to be seated in between Warrick and Grissom.
"I was waiting on these two"Nick smirked.
"Okay are you all ready to order?" Catherine asked after 10 minutes of small talk.
All the team happily placed their orders when Grissoms phone started to ring.
"Grissom"
"Hey Gil"
"Hey Jim"
"We got him!"
"Who Conrad?"
When the whole team heard Ecklies name, they all stopped their conversations and listend to Grissoms.
"Yeah, he confessed, so you can relax"
"Thankyou Jim"
"No problem, see you soon"
Grissom flipped his phone shut and saw all the guys waiting for him to speak.
Realizing no one was speaking Sara spoke up "Come on, spill!"
Chuckling at Saras eager expression Grissom spoke up "We've got Ecklie, he confgessed" the whole team cheered loudly, getting a few odd looks from the customers in the process.
"Okay guys, heres the food" Grissom said, seeing the waiter bringing their food over.
Whilst eating Grissom had to laugh atr tthe conversations being held by his subordinates. Sara, Warrick and Catherine was talking about all the crazy things they did at college, and from what he heard Catherine was very popular,
Warrick was lucky with the girls, whilst Sara didnt socialise as much.
Nick and Greg was talkiing about the latest game on PS2, from what Nick was saying the game was full of blood and gore.
The conversations was still going on way after they all finished their meals.
Grissom leaned over to Sara and whispered "Are you ready?"
Sara grinned widley in reply.
"Guys" Grissom said loudly waiting till he had everyones attention before cvontinuing, "Firstly i would like to say thankyou, all of you for you help, me and Sara cant thank you enough, second because you all are like family to me and Sara, and we know you will keep it in the team, i am happy to say..." Grissom paused and took hold of Saras hand before continuing" Me and Sara are in love!"
"Way to go bugman!" Catherine grinned" Finally got your head up from the microscope"
Warrick and Nick had shock expressions on their face before grinning widley "Good luck guys!"
Noticing Greg was still looking shocked and not yet had said anything Sara asked "Greggo, are you with us?"
"But...how...why.." Greg stuttered.
"Aw poor Greggo's upset" Nick laughed, causing the everyone to join in.
After the laighter had died down, and conversations had been started, Grissom leaned over and whispoered in Saras ear, "I love you, more than i can ever say, i never want to lose you, and anything you want i will give it to you"
Sara leaned in and gave Grissom a kiss which held passion and love. All the team wolf whistled while Greg muttered "Get a room"
Breaking the kiss after the need for air was to much Sara smiled her 100 watt smile before whispering "aAll i ever wanted was to be loved."
