Only time could tell

Catherine dropped us of at the cinema, I took Lindsey to the nearest McDonalds. Every child seems to have a weak spot for McDonalds food and Lindsey was no exception. We walked back to the cinema after the dinner at McDonalds if you could even classify that as a dinner. I let Lindsey choose the movie that she wanted to see and after a little hesitation she asked me whether I would like to see the “Lizzie McGuire movie”. I agreed because I knew that she wanted to see that movie she had been talking about it all week. And now I was watching towards the big screen.

Never ask a nine year old to go with you to the movies when a movie like “Lizzie McGuire” is the only decent movie for a nine year oldxt txt time I make sure which movies are playing before I ask her.

A salvo of laughter surrounded me and brought me back into reality. On the screen there where these kids running around in cheerful and bright coloured clothes and then there was Lizzie McGuire don’t even get me started on her. I couldn’t stand that voice. Usually I like children’s movies, I’ve seen so many movies. I even have the copies of the Harry Potter movies. Which reminds me I want to watch them sometime with Lindsey. She would love them, but this was just to much. But I promised Lindsey and just looking at her happy face covered a lot. Lindsey took a sip of her Pepsi and looked up at me she grinned and held up her bag of popcorn. I grabbed a handful and smiled back at her, she turned to the screen and within seconds she was focused on the movie again.

I was delighted when the screen went black and the light turned on. Lindsey held on to my hand when we walked out of the theatre. We stepped outside into the cold breeze. I grabbed my phone and called to the receptionist of the CSI building. I asked her some questions and hung up again.

“Hey Linds, how about we buy some pizza and go to the labs to surprise everyone.”

“Can we do that?” She asked me in total surprise.

“Sure we can, I work there remember.” I chuckled.

“That’s true, I would really like to go there.”

We walked into one of the pizza places across the street and ordered some pizza’s. I ordered a cab and within ten minutes we arrived at the labs. I showed my badge at the receptionist and ask for a visitor’s badge for Lindsey. I gave Lindsey the badge and told her that shoulhould wear the badge visible at all times.

“I know the rules Sara, I’ve been here so many times now.”

I smiled of course she knew the rules, Catherine brought her in on different occasions and the last time wasn’t that long ago.

“But you’ll be with me all the time right?” She asked me while she looked up at me with those big blue eyes of her. How could I ever deny her anything when she looked at me like that.

“Of course I will. Don’t worry, Lindsey.”

I let her through the hallways and we sat down in the break room. I knew that I didn’t have to wait long for someone to come into the break room. I was right within a couple of minutes Greg came into the break room for a cup of coffee.

“Sara! What’cha doing here?” He asked me, while he hugged me.

“Hey Greggo, it’s a surprise can you do me a favour and call everyone. I don’t want to spoil the surprise by calling them?”

“Anything to help you and Lindsey.” he said while he smiled. “Follow me ladies, I have an excellent idea, I can get them in there within minutes without them knowing anything.”
