Chapter One ~ Vacation



It was the last day of work before all of the graveyard shift CSI's were going to go on vacation including Greg anywhere but CSI.

The whole crew was in the break room waiting for shift to end. They were also fighting over a place to go for the week. They decided they would go all together and they wanted to be far away from Las Vegas as possible.

"What about Fiji?" Nick suggested.

They all shook their heads no.

"What about this old mansion in Italy hasn't been used in many years, looks pretty cool" Catherine suggested, she showed them a picture of the place.

"It looks wicked! I'm with Cath lets go there, unless you guys are too chicken?" Sara replied

"We are not chicken we are less scared then you two" Warrick shot back at them.

"I bet you 100 bucks you will freak out before us," Catherine said, she knew she was going to win this bet for sure.

"Alright your on, we leave tomorrow deal" Nick suggested as he spit into his hand. Catherine did the same and they shook hands.

"Guys that's gross�but cool" Sara said with a smile and got up to leave

"Deal, I'll book the tickets tonight what bout 10am?"

They all nodded their heads in approval and left to go home to pack. As Catherine was leaving Grissom pulled her back.

"What's up Griss? You backing out of our little trip" Catherine asked with a smile

"No, but who will look after Lindsey while your away?" Grissom asked sheepishly, he was going to ask something else but he would be to embarrassed.

"My sister or Eddie, he does deserve to see her sometimes you know since he is her father"

Catherine then got up once again and gave him a kiss on the cheek she then disappeared down the hallway towards the locker rooms. All of the team showed up at the airport at 9:30am, half an hour before the plane was scheduled to depart.

"I hate airplanes," Sara announced as she sipped her morning coffee trying to wake herself up.

"You...hate�airplanes?" Greg asked, he was surprised by her sudden outburst

"Yes, I don't fly well I usually throw up when a plane hits turbulence"

"I thought you loved airplanes, I mean you even said so yourself, you are part of the mile high club," Nick asked with a smile

"That's how I ended up in the mile high club"

"What did you do go in the wrong bathroom?" Catherine said laughing with a snort

Sara smiled and blushed beat red. She just sat there in silence; all eyes fell on her and smiled back then they couldn�t help but laugh. Then the airplane reporter said that they were boarding passengers on flight leaving to Italy. They all got up and headed towards the ticket booth.

Once they bored the plane all hell broke loose between Greg and Sara. They were fighting over who got to sit in the window seat. While Catherine and Grissom were trying to break it up. Warrick and Nick decided to just sit back and relax and watch the scene unfold in front of them.

"You shouldn't sit in the window seat because when turbulence comes your going to have to run to the bathroom and I'll be in your way!" Greg protested.

"But I want to look out the window!" Sara whined

"Children why don't we settle this like adults, rock paper scissors it?" Catherine said in a motherly tone as if she was talking to her 8 year-old daughter Lindsey.

They both looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders thinking the idea wasn�t the best or the worst idea Catherine had ever had before.

"Alright on the count of three.1.2.3!" Grissom said and they both showed what they had.

"Ha! Scissors beats paper in your face Sanders! I get the window seat" Sara screamed back at Greg and happily sat down in her prize-winning seat.

Catherine and Grissom laughed and then took their seats, then the flight attendant came on the speakers and announced.

"Hello, and welcome to international air, Pleas enjoy your flight and when you see the seat belt button light up please put on your seat belt and relax, enjoy and thank you for flying with us"
