THE LETTER..
This is REALLY what ninety nine percent of the CSI fans wanted to happen.
Gil Grissom opens the note he was handed by Judy, the receptionist at the Las Vegas Crime Lab. He had not been able to locate Sara Sidle, his ‘adult relationship’ partner. She had left the Lab without so much as a good night. Normally, she would whine and bitch about them not being on the same shift anymore and that she did not like him not being around her twenty four seven.
Gil sighed as he opened the letter. ‘Now what?’ He thought and began to read. As Sara’s voice boomed in his head. N’er the soft sulky voice of Catherine Willows or the deep sexy voice of Lady Heather, but a grinding nails on a chalkboard sound.
Gil …
“Christ, she FINALLY remembered my name?”
you know I love you. I feel I’ve loved you forever. Lately I haven’t been feeling very well. Truth be told, I’m tired.
Gil chuckled, ‘YOU’RE TIRED? Try dealing with a whining always on the rag nagging person like you.’.
Out in the desert, under that car that night, I realized something, and I haven’t been able to shake it.
“Right there Sara, you were costing the Department a TON of money looking for you. The helicopter ride alone was fourty grand! If you had been on you toes, you would have seen Natalie coming and TRIED to fight her off. I mean COME ON, she’s smaller in every way then you.” He shakes his head.
Since my father died, I’ve spent almost my entire life with ghosts.
“Well now that explains it! Why you talked to yourself…err them. Ahhh makes sense now.” He continued to read. “I’m sure they WERE your only friends!”
We’d been like close friends, and out there in the desert, it occurred to me that it was time for me to bury them.
“BURY THEM? Bury WHAT? Oh no, I’m NOT going thru another Nick Stokes in a coffin thing again. I can handle one but not another one. SHIT!”
I can’t do that here.
“Well where the hell ARE you going to bury them? And WHAT friends? I don’t have any since we got together….they all left me. And you? You don’t HAVE any !! Oh gods PLEASE not Hank! The one thing that really loves me unconditionally……HANK !!!”
I’m so sorry. No matter how hard I try to fight it off, I’m left with the feeling that…I have to go.
“Now? After you killed my career? Cost me my friends, my reputation? My integrity? Great! I bet you wiped out my savings account too !! You had me buy a cheesy apartment which you decorated like a circus….NOW you leave? Shit!”
I have no idea where I’m going, but I know I have to do this.
“And WHERE in the hell am I suppose to send the last paycheck? I’m NOT covering all your bills. NO WAY !!! And you owe me one half the rent on that cheesy apartment!”
If I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll self-destruct, and worse, you’ll be there to see it happen.
“Where’s the plunger? Let me push the button! PLLLLLLLLLLLLEASE !!”
Be safe. Know that I tried very hard to stay.
“Please, don’t stay on my account. Go! GO! Don’t let the screen door hit your boney ass on the way out! Think of all the sympathy dates i can get! WHOA !!”
Know that you are my one and only.
“Like the whole damned world couldn’t see you following me around like a damn puppy dog for the last nine years? Oh get a grip. And I KNOW I wasn’t the ONE and only. You were NOT a virgin. You were too well versed in not castrating me with those buck teeth.”
I will miss you will every beat of my heart.
“You got that right. There will be NO ONE to cover that boney ass and keep fixing your mistakes !! Damn right you are going to miss me.”
Our life together was the only home I’ve ever really had.
“LIFE?? YOU had a life thanks to me! I lost EVERYTHING thanks to you. I shouldn’t have said ‘get a life’. I didn’t think you would take MINE !”
I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
“Got that right, no one would believe you could have brought me down to such lowness and stupidity. I elevated your life at the cost of everything I held dear and sacred. I’m SO glad Mother is not alive to witness the mess I made in a weak moment. She would have cut my dick off and fed it to me.”
I love you. I always will. Goodbye/
“Halley Berry LOUISE !! She’s GONE !! SHE IS GONE !! Oh thank you GOD! Or whoever! I don’t care she’s gone! Funny I feel like singing. “
Gil gets up and walks thru the halls of the Lab. Little did he realize he was mumming….’Ding dong the bitch is gone!’. He smiles for the first time in three years. Catherine looks at him and smiles. Gil just nods soon Catherine is humming the same song. It took less then two minutes before the entire Lab sounded like the Munchkins from the ‘Wizard of Oz’. Finally harmony was returned to the Lab !!
