Sara’s fears and wishes
Chapter 2
Sar
Sara’s fears and wishes
Nick’s POV
For the third time that week Nick noticed that Sara seemed distracted. She was gazing in the distance, physically she was present, but mentally she seemed miles away. I had called her name several times and still she didn’t react. Sara was sitting in one of the labs, evidence sprayed out onto the table in front of her. He moved in closer and put his hand on her shoulder while he once again called her name.
“Sara?” She was startled when she felt my touch; she looked up at me completely unaware of the things that had happened in the past minutes. “Sara, what’s wrong?” I asked worriedly. Ever since she came here we had been friends and I knew that something was bothering her and apparently that something bothered her a lot.
“Hmm, what, nothing it’s just this case and all…” She sighed quietly.
“Sara, c’mon let’s take a break and get something to eat in the diner.” She silently nodded and followed me to the locker room. We retrieved our jackets from the lockers and walked back through the corridors. We passed one of the labs, and Catherine was leaning over a microscope investigating some evidence. She looked up when she heard us and waved at Sara and me. It was so good to see them both so happy, they have changed so much since they have been an item.

We both sat down across from each other in one of the booths in the corner. A waitress walked up to our table and we both ordered something to eat.
“So, what’s wrong?” Nick asked after the waitress left us.
“I erm, just erm…” she hesitated for a moment before she continued. “I’m afraid, afraid that something will happens and that I’ll get a phone call telling me that something terrible happened.”
“But Sara, that possibility is always here in this line of work. I mean look at Holly Gribbs.”
“I know that Nick, but this is one of these cases that hits home too hard, and this time it’s really hard to go on and act like it doesn’t affect you. Catherine and I are in danger as long as we don’t get this guy. This time it isn’t just women who are possible victims, but also age, sexual preferences and being a gay couple living together; we have numerous things in common with the other victims, and besides that we work on the case. What would be more satisfying for a serial killer then to kill off the people who are after you? It isn’t just fea’m p’m petrified.” Tears glimmer in her eyes. “You know, never in my life have I been so sure about anything. I would really like to show that to Catherine.”
I had been listening to Sara and I knew that she was right. I could understand what she meant but that last confession bombshell shocked me.
Sara’s POV
“Show her, like marry her or something?” Nick asked hesitantly not sure if that was what I meant, I just nodded as a reply.
“But Sar that’s great, wow I never thought that you would want anything like that.”
“Well a girl can dream, can’t she? It’s not like anything will happen.” I shrugged, pain probably evident in my eyes.
The waitress interrupted is with our food and we waited until she was gone. Nick reached across the table and covered my hand with his. “Why wouldn’t anything happen? You’ve come a long way Sara. Catherine loves you more then you can imagine. I see both of you everyday, and I’ve seen you grow so much.”
“It’s not that, it’s more that we can’t do it. I mean it’s ridiculous, that in a city like Las Vegas these things aren’t allowed but it’s true. Everyone can elope and get married here except for gay couples who really love each other.” I looked down at my plate and pushed the food around without eating anything. I couldn’t believe that I was talking so easily about this to Nick.
Nick stayed silent for a while, but I could see that he was thinking about everything that I’d told him.
“Sara can’t you and Cath get married in San Francisco?”
I nodded my head, not saying a word. He watched me just as silent with a weird look on his face. “But your parents live there?”
“Let’s just say that my parents don’t agree with my lifestyle and my beliefs. They made that pretty clear.” Nick nodded understanding, and I prayed that he would leave me alone and stop asking questions.
