Waiting in Line | Grissom's Big Experiment | Mischief Mostly Managed | Catherine's Revenge | Late-Night Phone Calls | Romantic Getaway
Catherine Willows rolled her eyes as the video looped for the ninth time. The line was moving at a snail's pace and she'd managed to quote the safety video back with the eigth loop. "-watch your step as you move onto the platform-" the voiceover repeated. Catherine wondered if anyone would jump her if she took a running leap onto the platform. While she was pondering possible outcomes, Catherine hadn't noticed that the line had ooched ahead slightly.
"Holdin' up the line," she heard and thew a quick glare over her shoulder. Behind her, Gil Grissom was nodding her ahead, as well as pushing her forward. The line had shifted far enough ahead that they would only have to wait for two more cars, but the heat was driving her crazy. Vegas was hot as hell, but Florida was humid and she'd wanted to take a shower the second they got off the plane.
As the line moved ahead another carful, Catherine sighed with relief at the breeze - even if it was warm - that was clearing the platform. She was wishing Grissom had been a bit more specific when he said for her to just wear jeans and a t-shirt that morning. Of course, she was expecting to be taken to New York-New York. When Grissom picked her up, however, he didn't drive to the Strip. No, he drove to the airport.
Catherine jerked back into reality as Grissom nudged her again. The attendant nodded and asked how many were in their party before Grissom held up two fingers. As the young man nodded them to the third set of large red circles, Catherine turned and leaned into Grissom. "Please don't make me do this." She watched the car take off as they walked up to the ride entrance - take off vertically and then fall... VERTICALLY.
Grissom simply smirked and shrugged. "You lost the bet." He pointed to the car as the couple in front of them stepped away.
"Why couldn't we ride the stupid roller coaster at home?" Catherine huffed as she stepped onto the moving platform and into the car.
"Because this roller coaster isn't in Vegas and it's new and I wanted to ride it."
"And why did I have to come with you?" she huffed again and dropped into the chair. Grissom sat down next to her and pulled his lap bar down. As Catherine pulled hers down, Grissom leaned forward and grabbed her hand.
"Because, Cath... " He smiled as the car jerked forward and Catherine sucked in a breath. As the car tilted back and Catherine's grip on his hand tightened, he smiled and shouted over the soundtrack pumping through the seats' speakers: "I wanted to ride it with you!"
