Thank you Trace for doing the beta. You are great for still doing it for me :).

A Note: I apologize that I am so horribly bad at sticking to a time frame especially when I have said I will have a chapter up soon and it's been longer than what I had said. Thanks to all those who continue to read the story and also, thank you everyone for reading. Please leave a review and let me know what you think. :D

Chapter 5

I only hear a few rings before Grissom picks up and then I hear his greeting, “Hello? This is Grissom.”

“Hi, it’s Sara,” I respond.

“Oh, how are you today?” he asks.

“I am doing fine thank you. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed our time together yesterday,” I tell him a little nervously.

“Good, I enjoyed yesterday too.”

“So, uh, how is your day going?” I inquire of him.

“ It’s going well. How’s that case of your’s coming?”

“Oh, it’s coming along all right, I actually need to get back to it as I told the under sheriff I would be calling him back about it before I went home,”I say with irritation.

“I will let you go then and I’ll give you a call on Friday afternoon and you know maybe we could um, have dinner or watch a movie or what ever you would like,” comes the reply with some apprehension in his voice.

With a big smile I let him know, “ That sounds good, I will talk to you then. Bye”

“Okay, bye then,” he says joyfully.

After hanging up the phone I turn back to the Carman file but before I can even start to give it one last analysis before making a decision, my mind wanders back to the conversation I just had with Grissom. I feel like I should pinch myself to make sure that all of this is not a dream. Instead, I just look at my outgoing calls on my cell and see the number for Grissom there and know that it is real. With a smile I turn back to the Carman case open the file and look it over. The bug evidence seems to add something more. At any rate, it gives a time line of how long the teenage boy has been dead.

Continuing to look at the other evidence, I realize that the bug evidence actually brings the case together, giving me exactly what I need to take it to trial. It points to a specific suspect. Therefore, I first call the LVPD and talk to them about the case and the suspect that is implicated. The officer informs me that they will have a CSI look over the evidence (for the actual pieces of evidence are kept at CSI offices) and call me back.
While I wait for the return call, I look over a different case file. This one does not involve murder.

About thirty minutes later, my phone rings and it is the officer I talked with before. Quickly, he informs me, “ CSI has looked at all the evidence including the recent bug evidence and agrees with you Miss Sidle and we here at LVPD see how it leads to the suspect as well. In fact, we have someone on the way to pick him up.”

“Great and thank you very much for your time, I shall be making a call to the under sheriff ,” I reply in polite tone.

I hang up and call Under Sheriff McKeen.

“Hello, this Under Sheriff McKeen, how can I help you?”

“Hello, Under Sheriff, it’s Sara Sidle”

“Ah, so you have an answer for me on the Carman case then?” he eagerly responds.

“I do and I can indeed take it to court now as we have a definite suspect because I am sure as you are aware that was the problem before.” I inform him.

“Yes, of course, however, this is very good, so the evidence Mr. Grissom found was helpful?” he asks eagerly.

“Yes, it was what led to the suspect by tying the evidence together,” I say as I roll my eyes.

“Good, thank you Miss Sidle. Bye,” shortly marking the end of our conversation.

I quickly say “Bye,” and then hang up the phone.

It has been a long day and I am so ready to go home so, hurriedly I clean up and leave. What a day, talking to Grissom and then having that evidence work out on the Carman case is good. As I get into bed, thoughts of Grissom calling me on Friday for another date make me smile and gives me a wonderful feeling. This thought carries me into sleep.

Oh look you finished the chapter :D. I know you want to leave me a review :P. ;)
