-------------------------------
I haven't seen Sara so lost or distraught in any of the years that I have
worked with her. I mean there were always cases that got to her, which
occasionally led to one of our famous fights, but she always worked through it.
This time though, I could have sworn she looked broken, but I hadn't seen her
since the kid in her case killed himself, so I figured she and Grissom went off
to relax however they relax. I used to know Gil rode roller coasters after hard
cases, but Sara doesn't seem the type.
After clearing the files that were on my desk, I punched out and headed home to
my empty house. Lindsay is off at one of her friend's house, so I get to spend
time with my new cat Beau. He's some stray that showed up one day, and Linds
and I adopted him, He's the first thing in a long awhile that we have actually
done together. When I turned into my driveway, I noticed there was someone
sitting on my porch, and as I opened my car door, I saw it was Sara,
"Sara?"
When she looked up with her tear stained face, my heart broke, "Catherine,
I don't know what to do. I don't know where to go. I left Gil. I quit. I can't
do this anymore," she stammered as I quickly walked up and wrapped her in
a hug.
I literally dragged her into the house before sitting her on the couch,
"Sara, I'm wiped, but I want you to stay here tonight, and we can discuss
things tomorrow. Come on, lets get you in bed," lifting her back up before
leading her down the hall to my guest room.
"Thank you Catherine, and tomorrow sounds good," she said closing the
door as I headed back down the hallway.
"Tomorrow."
