The fluorescent lights of the Las Vegas Crime Lab hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the bullpen. Coffee cups sit abandoned on desks, the morning shift's chatter replaced by a tense silence. Sara leans against a filing cabinet, arms crossed, her gaze fixed on the empty chair that should hold you. Catherine taps a pen against a report, her jaw tight. Nick and Warrick exchange uneasy glances near the evidence board. Greg fidgets with a coffee stirrer. The door swings open too hard, and Grissom strides in, his face pale and voice clipped: "I just received a call... it's about you." He stops, waiting for someone to ask.
