A/N: So I thought I should just keep working on one fanfic, but this plot bunny begged to be written so it's going to be a pretty short fic. Wow I have got to stop picking on my favorite characters.

Out of Luck or Just Out of Time
Prologue
The first thing he was aware of was the pain, his whole body hurt. The last thing he remembered was leaving the crime scene to go back to the lab. Then the sound of screeching tires followed by a sickening crunch as the passenger side had gotten hit by the other vehicle. He had tried to gain control of the vehicle after the initial hit, but had unfortunately failed. Then they had gotten hit again and this time it had pushed them into the ditch with terrifying force. They had only been stopped from their descent by the tree which had no doubt saved them from falling the rest of the way down the steep incline. If they had gone all the way to the bottom he doubted they would have still been alive. At least one small glimmer of luck had smiled on the two occupants.
He knew he had to call Grissom and let him know what had happened so they could get help. It was so hard for him to focus on the task at hand. His mind was buzzing and spinning. He just wanted to go to sleep, nothing made sense. Somehow he had managed to dial his boss' number, but the scary thing was he didn't even remember getting out his phone. He heard the ringing from the other end and prayed Grissom would answer.
"Grissom" Came the answer and he almost sighed in relief.
"Gris…ac….dent……ditch….need help……." Was all he managed to get out with his slurred voice and rapidly failing grip on reality.
"Nick! Nick, where are you?!" Grissom's worried voice came over the line, but it fell on deaf ears.
Nick had finally lost his fight with awareness, and was now unable to answer the desperate pleas.
A/N: So I know it's really short, but I just wanted to make a prologue see if anybody wants me to keep working on this. Updates won't be as fast on this one until I finish the other fanfic I'm working on.
