Chapter 6

Pain and lies

“Actually nothing, I was just thinking.” There isn’t enough time to talk about this now. Hopefully she will believe me when I tell her that it is nothing. But then again she probably won’t believe me we are way past that part of our relationship. We often know what the other one means by just looking at each other’s face. Damn, she doesn’t believe me; I can see it in her clenched jaw and her darkened eyes. But I can’t talk about this not now. There isn’t enough time before shift.

Sara’s POV

My mind was screaming alarm; there was definitely something wrong. I had learned to read her in these past couple of months. Slight changes in her face often told me more then she wanted me to know and now she was hiding something for me. Acting like it was nothing, when I knew that something was bothering her. But then again we had to go to work, and our life had become office gossip ever since we came out and I definitely didn’t want them to talk about us even more. Nevertheless, I’ll ask her tomorrow after shift.

Catherine started cleaning the plates that we’d used while I grabbed my belongings. I was just connecting my gun to my belt when Catherine called out to me. “Sar, are you ready. We really have to go now.”

“Yeah, I’m ready.” I grabbed my bag and set the alarm. The drive to the labs was silent and I put on a CD just to break the silence. Of course it had to start with a very wrong song at a very wrong moment.

I know some things never change. But this can’t be one of them. And I don’t think I can stand it Any longer… Are you scared? Are you scared? Are you scared? ‘Cos if you’re scared. You’re not alone. I once thought I was brave-. But I can’t stop crying Sometimes I think I’m going crazy. But I am waiting patiently Though I fear it all be in vain …

At that moment I was ready to trash the darn CD.

“Sara, Catherine, I want the two of you together on a body dump in the desert.” Grissom handed Catherine the file sheet.
