Chapter 9
Greg shot down the hall,
I'm in so much trouble! he kept thinking. He then realized he forgot the plan. He skidded to a stop and headed back to the layout room.
Catherine's gonna shoot me.
Grissom and Sara stood in the room. They didn't look happy:
"Now we just have to sit back and wait for the crowd of lab techs." Sara said angrily.
"If Greg even utters a word to the..."
"Uhh Grissom?" Greg said nervously.
"Greg if you dare even whisper a word of what you saw..."
"I won't Gris, I promise. Anyway I came here to tell you that the sheriff wants to speak with you and Sara in the parking lot."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
"Ok." Grissom and Sara left together.
Greg then sent a text message to Catherine saying Grissom and Sara were on their way to the parking lot. Catherine read it and sent one to Nick, telling him to go to the parking lot and wait for them. Catherine then went to the sheriff's office, smiling coyly.
Nick spotted Grissom and Sara walking out of the main doors and strolled up to them:
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"We are here to see the sheriff Nicky."
"Oh yeah, he had to leave. He told me to tell you that you both have to attend a conferance in Orlando, Florida."
"WHAT!" They both yelled.
"Hey don't yell at me, I'm just the messanger boy." Nick then walked off with an evil smile on his face.
"No way."
"Sara, it's sheriff's orders."
"But...aww no way."
They walked back into the building and made their way to the locker room.
Nick strolled up to Catherine, he asked: "What did you say to the sheriff?"
"I told him that Gil told me he had to attend a conferance and bring a female accomplice with him. I said I couldn't go because of Lindsey so he said he had to bring Sara. I shrugged and left. I better tell them they have to leave straight away, tell Warrick to go to the locker room."
Catherine made her way down the hall and entered the locker room. She leaned against a locker:
"So, I've heard you have to attend a conferance at Christmas time, isn't that a bummer?"
"Why us? Do you know why?" asked Sara.
"Nope." Catherine lied, "Maybe it's because I have Lindsey, Warrick has a wife, Nick has a girlfriend, Greg has a girlfriend..."
"We get it Cath, everyone has someone, but us." said Grissom."
"Sorry Gil, Sara."
"Don't be." answered Sara. "When do we have to leave?"
"ASAP."
"Yay."
"How long are we..."
"There for? A week. I knew you'd ask that Gil."
"Ok, c'mon then Sara. I'll give you a ride home."
They were about to leave when Warrick stopped them:
"Gil, Sara the sheriff just told me you will be representing the lab. There will be a formal dance, that means, Tux and dress my friends."
"No chance, I am NOT wearing a dress."
"Oh yes you are." ordered Catherine, "I'll take you shopping."
"No." Sara moaned.
"You aren't serious are you?" asked Grissom.
"Deadly serious Gris." replied Warrick.
Catherine grabbed Sara arm and dragged her from the room. Sara tried to pull away, latching her hands onto the doorframe, but Catherine pulled her free.
