Chapter 11

I can’t live in the past I need the future

Catherine called Jenn as soon as we got home and she immediately agreed in taking Lindsey for the weekend.

“Sara? Can you call the airline for tickets and I’ll start dinner?” She asked me while she put down the phone.

“Well as long as you don’t put meat in that food, it’s alright with me.” I called the airport and got some tickets for the Saturday morning flight to San Francisco. Half an hour later, we sat down at the table and ate our dinner. We cleaned the table and dishes and took Lindsey to Jenn.

We were all waiting in the break room for Grissom to hand us some new assignments. Catherine and I were talking softly on the couch while Nick and Warrick where yelling toward the television screen which was showing a football match.

Minutes later we where joined by Grissom. “Catherine, Warrick, I got a suicide at the Mirage for you and” he said while he turned towards Nick, who was still taken by the view on the television. “Nick, Nicky you and Sara are with me on a double murder.” Nick still didn’t react until I gave him a punch in the shoulder. “Hey pretty boy are you coming.”

“What? Oh yeah I’m coming.” He said while he quickly followed me.

Saturday morning,

McCarran Airport. Las Vegas

I breathed in and out in order to get my nerves back in check.

“Sara? Are you afraid of flying?” Catherine asked me, sitting besides me in the airplane that would take me home.

“Afraid, that is kind of an understatement, I’m petrified.” I said while the plane slowly moved towards the take off. I grabbed Catherine’s hand and held it in mine.

“Nothing will happen as long as you don’t forget to breathe.” Catherine told me with a reassuring smile. While I let go off the air that I was apparently holding back.

"Oh yeah breathing, that would be smart." I laughed nervously, Catherine thought that it was because of my fear of flying. However, there was something else that made me more nervous then the whole flying thing.
