Chapter One: Wish it was Friday
Sara alarm clock start buzzes in her ears again, she hits the alarm clock snoozes buttoning for the fifth time in a roll. She knows if she does not get up soon she is going to be late for work, but does not care. She lays in bed for another five minutes to getting out of bed. She pulls on a pair of jeans and rubs some deodorant on her underarms then pulls a T-shirt on over her head. She then stumbles out of her bedroom and into the bathroom. Once in the bathroom she slow brush her hair and then pulls it into a ponytail. Sarah gets her toothbrush out and put some toothpaste on it then brush her tooth. When she finishes in the bathroom she walks over to the window and looks outside and sees that it pouring rain. As she looking out the window, she wishes today was her day off and not Friday. She grabs her purse and keys and heads out to her car and leaves for work.
Sarah pulls her car into the park lot of the crime lab right as a crime lab SUV with Warrick in the drive seat pulls out. She see that Warrick is alone which means it a busy night and she is twenty minutes late for work on Monday, December 1, 2003. She parks her car and heads into the crime lab. The first place she heads to is the break room to see if Gil Grissom was still in there, but the one in the break room was Greg. He had just finish making a pot of his Blue Hawaii coffee.

Sara: Yo, Greg be a doll and pour me a cup of coffee?
Greg: Sure Sara, but I put it in to a cup with a lid because Grissom looking for you.
Sarah: That fine Greg.

Greg pours Sara a cup of coffee and puts the lid on the cup. He has just hand Sara the cup when Grissom walks into the break room and taps Sara on the shoulder. She turns around and looks at Gil Grissom in the eyes.

Gil: Sara you are over twenty minutes late for work, why are you late?
Sara: I’m so sorry Grissom . I over sleep it won’t happen again.
Gil: It better not. Nick show you come into the lab, you and Nick are work on a 420- homicide At the Palms. Nick meet you out at the SUV. I have to go meet Warrick at the crime scene we are work on together.
Sara: Ok, Grissom.
Gil: I also need you cases paperwork by the end of shift see that you case paperwork is also late they were due at the end of last Friday shift.
Sara: Sorry, I have them to you by the end of shift tomorrow morning.

As she walks towards the locker room to grab her crime scene kit and a jacket out of her locker. She thinks to herself great tonight is going to suck and I am getting a really bad headache too.
 
Chapter Two: The never ended shift part one
Sara gets to the locker room and set her cup of coffee down on the bench and unlock her locker. She set her purse down inside of her locker and starts looking through it to find some Tylenol, but does not have any. Just then Catherine comes into the locker room and is all smile as she gets into her locker.

Catherine: Sara, you need to get a move on Nick is wait for you!
Sara: Cath. Do you have any extra strength Tylenol, because I have a splitting headache?
Catherine: Sure Sara here you go. ( Hands Sara the Tylenol.) And thanks again for picking up Lindsey from school Wednesday when she had to go home sick. Then watching her on Thursday and Friday seen that I had to testify in court on cases on work on all three days.
Sara: (Swallows the Tylenol) No problem Cath. We just watch tv and Lindsey and I take each take parts of Romeo and Joliet and read out loud the sections she had to read for English class. She also sleep some. How Lindsey feeling?
Catherine: A lot better. I need to get going to P.D. to interview the rapist from the case we work on this weekend together.
Sara: I want to do that Cath!
Catherine: If you did not run late maybe Grissom would of let you do the interview.
Sara: Great he making me star a new case as punishment for being late. He knows I hate starting new cases before I close the one I’m work on.

With that Catherine walks out of the locker room Sara puts her black forensic jacket on. She then grabs her purse, kit and coffee. She then heads outside to meet Nick in the park lot. When Nick sees Sara’s walk towards the SUV, he jumps out of the SUV and takes her and puts it in the backseat, while Nick doing this Sara gets into the passenger seat and puts her seatbelt on. Nick close the backseat door and walks over to the drive seat. As he get behind the wheel he thinks Sara’s never lets anyone else drive, she had being a passenger, this is so unlike her . Nick starts the SUV up and back out of the park space. Then pulls out of the park lot. Then heads towards the palms.

Nick: Sara, you know Brass is going to be so mad at the two of us for taking so long to get to the crime scene. I don’t want to sound like I’m lectures’ you, but it not very professions of you to run twenty minutes late for work. Plus by run late you have given the killer more time to get out of town.
Sara: Nick, don’t even think of about continue this speech I’m in no mood to hear it. Grissom already told me not to me late again and yelling at me for not getting my cases paperwork in at the end of shift Friday.
Nick: Sara, are you ok, you keep rubbing your head?
Sara: I just have a headache, but I the Tylenol I take should kick in soon and I will be fine. But can we not talk the rest of the way to the crime scene?
Nick: Yeah, that fine Sara.
Neither Nick nor Sara talks the rest of the way to the crime scene. Sara leans her seat back and closes her eyes for the rest of the ride. Nick pulls the SUV into the park lot of the Palms and parks behind Jim Brass Car. The first thing Sara sees when she opens her eyes is Jim Brass stare at her through the passenger window of the SUV.
 
Chapter Three: The never ended shift part two
Sara turns her head towards Nick and at the sometime reaches into the backseat and grabs her kit. At the sometime Jim Brass opens up the passenger door. Sara and Nick knows by the look on Brass face he is mad at them for being late.

Nick: I was I time for work. It all Sara faulted we take so long to get here. She was twenty minutes late for work.
Sara: You could of went on ahead without me, I could of meet you at the soon Nick.
Jim: Sara you a crime scene investigate. When you are late for work not only does it make you look bad, it makes the LVPD and Las Vegas crime lab look bad too. I never would of thought I’ll have to give you a speech about run on time for work seeing that your job is your life. When i called Grissom to see what was take you and Nick so long to get here and Grissom told me you that you oversleep, that why you are late. It made me very mad at you Sara, because oversleep is very un-profession. Never run late again.
Sara: Fine, I won’t Brass.

With that Sara gets out of the SUV and so does Nick. The two of them fellow Brass up to the penthouse one. Jim Brass opens up the penthouse door and both Sara and Nick takes a look around the scene . The first thing Sara sees is a scary little girl of about eight years old set in the corner with her knees up to her chest and her arms wrap around them and she is rocking back and forth.

Sara: Brass did the girl see what happened?
Jim: Yeah, Bethany show and hear her father argument and beat her mom up before shoot five time in the heart.
Sara: I’m going to go try and see if I can get Bethany to talk to me. Nick will you start process the scene?

Sara walks over to were Bethany is setting and set down next to her on the floor. Bethany turns her head and looks over at the young brown hair women that set down next to her.

Bethany: What your name?
Sarah: My name is Sara Sidle I work for the Las Vegas crime lab. How about the two of us go outside and talk.
Bethany: Ok, Sara

Sara and Bethany both stand up and heads out of the penthouse. The two of them take the elevator to the first floor and the two of them go outside and set down on the bench in front of the palms. Both of them stare at the night time skyline of Las Vegas.

Sara: Bethany, I need you to tell me everything you show and hear tonight and I’m going to write down what you tell me.
Bethany: I was supposed to be in bed, but I head to use the bathroom so I get out of bed and walkout of my room. I had just reaches the bathroom door when I hear and show my mom and dad fight again.

My dad then call my mom a lie and throw her up against the wall and start kick her several time before pull out his gun. My mom started yell at him to put the gun away, but he, but he would not listen to her and shoot her five times . I stay where I was till I know he was gone and not come back. I start to run over to her, but stops when on seen the huge pool of blood. I called 911 myself. Then went and set down in the corner where you find me.
Sara: You did the right thing by calling 911. Bethany how old are you?

Just then the social work walks up to Bethany and Sara. She stops and kneels down in front of Bethany.

Bethany takes Mrs. Hope hand and the two of them walk over to Mrs. Hopes Suv. Sara set on the bench and watches Mrs. Hope open up backseat door of her SUV for Bethany and then watches Mrs. Hope walk get into the diver seat. Just as she thinking about getting up and head back to help Nick process the scene she start having menstrual cramps. She thinks to herself great when just when I thought tonight could not get any worst. Just then she sees David walk towards the entrance. She stands up and walks over to him.

David: Hi Sara

David: Yeah
Sara: Can you tell Nick I will be up to help him up to help him in fifteen to twenty minutes I have to go down the street to the drug store and pick up some tampon and pad. I just store my period.
David: No problem Sara.

Sara goes and gets into the SUV and drives down the street to the drug store and David heads up to the penthouse one, where the crime happened at. Nick looks up and sees David walking into the main room. But Sara has not come back yet and he know that Mrs. Hope has already left with Bethany.

Nick: David, have you seen Sara around?
David: Yeah, I have she told me to let you know she be up to help you in fifteen to twenty minutes she had to run down the street to the drug store to buy some tampon and pad really fast. Her monthly start right as she finishes interview Bethany.

Nick: Thanks David, I already take the picture of her at the scene so you can take the body back to the lab. Tell Dr. Robbins to go head and collect the evidence off the body and to remove the bullet and see them to the departments in the lab they need to go to.
David: Ok, I let Dr. Robbins know that Nick.

Meanwhile, Sara has finish buy the tampon and pad and has use the restroom at the store. She is now on her way to the palms to help Nick finish process the crime scene. Even through she feels awful. The Tylenol has not help her headache and she now has really bad cramps now too. Could tonight get any worst?

Sara gets back to the palms and head straight up to the penthouse one. Brass gives her an evil look as soon as she walks through the door.

Sara: What Brass?
Jim: Sara, If you where due to start your monthly you should of had tampons and pads in your purse, so you would not have to run to the store to buy them when you are supposed to be work a crime scene!
Sara: Too start with I start a week early which never has happened before, so I had no reason to think I would need any tampons or Pads Brass!
Jim: Fine, but get to work now!
Sara: Fine
Sara puts on a pair of latex gloves and gets to work dusty for fingerprints, because Nick’s has not got a chance to dust for print yet. Once she was done dust for print. She help Nick search for the gun to see if Mr. Maybell left it any where in the penthouse, but after two and half hours, but both Sara and Nick come up empty hand. So Nick’s and Sara put the evidence and put it into evidence bags. Nick’s head down to the SUV and puts the evidence into the back of the SUV. While, Sara’s seal the door of the penthouse up and puts a label on the door that says crime scenes do not entry. She walks towards the elevator and push the button for the main floor.
When Nick and Sara get back to the lab their check the evidence into the evidence room. Nick takes the trace evidences to the trace lab and Sara takes the DNA evidences to the DNA lab for Greg to run. Sara does not stay around to talk to Greg she just hands him the evidence that needs run. She then walks out of the DNA lab and heads to the break room. She gets to the break room and gets a cup of coffee, then takes a set at the table and starts working on her late cases paperwork. Sara lost track of the time while she working on her case paperwork . She does not even hear Nick, Greg or Mia come into the break room and walk up next to her.
