Six hours later then plane landed in Rome, they all got off and took a tour bus to the house; it was a three-hour drive. One that they will remember for a long time.
The house was huge; it looked very beautiful when they all walked into the front foyer. The place looked as if it hadn't been inhabited for a very long time.
"Nick I'll race you to the top?" Sara challenged, she was so hyper and excited about this trip.
"Alright you're on, ready.set.go!" Nick yelled and bolted up the stairs with Sara close behind.
When they reached about halfway Sara stuck out her right leg, which caused Nick to trip and fall flat on his face. Warrick and Grissom were laughing their head off while Greg was clapping and cheering at Sara's devious plan. Catherine decided that she would go exploring.
"I won!" Sara screamed at the top of the staircase. She turned around and noticed the big painting hanging on the wall. She was a beautiful woman and the plaque underneath her read Miss Angelina Willows.
"That race wasn't fair but oh well, were did Cath go off to?" Nick asked out of breath
"I'm not sure but when we find her we should ask her if she is related to this woman in the picture her names Angelina Willows"
The other three guys joined Nick and Sara at the top if the staircase. They admired the painting as well.
"She looks beautiful and she also reminds me of Catherine don't you guys think?" Greg said.
"Yeah I'm with you their Greg speaking of Catherine were did she venture off too?" Warrick asked everyone shrugged their shoulders.
Meanwhile Catherine was exploring the house on her own, she always dreamt of a place like this but she would need a lot more zeros on her paycheck to get one. She admired all of the paintings and looked in each and every room she came across. Catherine smiled to herself and said:
"Home sweet home"
The rest of the group was searching for Catherine while Catherine was searching for a room to spend the next week sleeping in. She found one that was so beautiful she decided that it would be her room and no one else's. Catherine thoughts were interrupted when she heard Greg and Sara's voices calling out her name.
Catherine poked her head out of the door and called towards her two friends:
"In here guys"
Greg and Sara spun on their heels and saw Catherine's head poking out of the bedroom door that they just passed; she smiled and walked out into the hallway were the two were standing in bewilderment.
"Where, how, what, we didn't see you come up the stairs" Sara stuttered while she was still thinking this through.
"I found another set of stairs while I was exploring, were are the others?" Catherine asked.
"Down stairs looking for you, you missed Nick and Sara's race to the top of the staircase, she tripped him halfway up it was so funny" Greg said while he bursted out laughing again.
"Nice job Sara, shows him whose boss huh? Anyways lets go fetch the others before they get worried that three people are lost instead of only one" Catherine suggested while she began to laugh as well.
As they were walking down the hallway and back down the main stair case Catherine spotted the portrait.
"She's one beautiful lady, Angelina Willows huh? I bet you thought I was related to her in some twisted way right?" Catherine suspected.
Sara and Greg both nodded their heads in agreement.
"There you three are!"
The three investigators turned around simultaneously and saw Grissom, Warrick and Nick standing at the bottom of the stairs not to pleased with what happened.
"Nice to see you too Griss" Catherine replied sarcastically with a smirk.
"Well it's about damn time were all back together now it's getting late I think we should call it a night don't you all think?" Nick asked the group.
"I already picked mine, it's the prettiest and nicest of them all" Catherine announced proudly.
They walked back up the stairs with their luggage and headed down the long corridor towards the bedrooms they were situated one after another joined by a door and a bathroom was between each room. There were 3 bedrooms on each side of the hallway. Catherine walked over towards her bedroom and leaned against the doorframe.
"This ones' mine" she claimed
"No fair she got the biggest and nicest one" Greg complained.
"Oh quit your whining, I'll take the one on the right side of Catherine's" Grissom said and went over to his doorframe and leaned against it.
"Oh the love birds want to stick together awe how romantic" Nick said playfully
"Oh Nick grow up, I'll take this one across from Catherine" Sara announced and went to her bedroom dragging her suitcase behind her she was too exhausted to pick it up and carry it.
"I call this one!" Warrick yelled and ran over to the one across from Grissom's that was on the right hand side of Sara.
"Whoa someone's excited, I'll take the other one beside Queen noxonal-9 over there" Nick said and slowly walked over towards him room with his duffle bag.
"Nick! I'm not THAT serious on being clean am I?" Sara asked.
Everyone nodded their heads and Sara gave them all the evil eye.
"Well then I guess I get this one beside Catherine then don't I?" Greg said and walked the two steps to his bedroom
"Well, I guess we should get some sleep and explore the house a little more tomorrow when were all rested and reenergized, good night ya'll" Grissom said and shut his door.
"Been there done that already, Night everyone" Catherine muttered and slammed her door shut.
"See you guys tomorrow good night" Sara replied with a yawn and shut her door.
"Night night sleep tight don't let the bed bugs bite everyone" Greg said and went into his bedroom as well.
"Night man" Warrick and Nick said at the same time and laughed they shut there doors too.
