bother suing me; I have no money :)
Spoilers: None so far
Title: When The Clouds Have Cleared
Summary: (NS) The brother of a criminal they have put behind bars threatens the CSI's. As his brother awaits trail and possible death penalty, he goes to great lengths to scare the team into withholding evidence.
Chapter One
"Nick! Keep your eyes on the road!" Sara yelled from the passenger seat. It was the fourth time he had been distracted by his overly full coffee cup, and it was the fourth time they had had a near miss with oncoming traffic.
"You shouldn't be drinking that while your driving. Pass it to me"
"Nice try Sidle. This is my coffee. It's your own fault you didn't get any while we were at the lab" He replied with a smug grin.
Sara just rolled her eyes "Fine. But when we end up dead under heap of twisted metal, don't say I didn't tell you so"
"I've always loved your optimism, Sar" Nick laughed as he switched radio stations in search of something decent. "We'll be back at the lab soon anyway. I think I can handle keeping us alive until then" He settled on a channel playing a favourite country song of his, causing Sara to roll her eyes again. He noticed her reaction, and started singing along loudly to goad her further.
Watching Nick's little performance, Sara had to use all of her self-control to keep herself from bursting out and laughing. He was singing and dancing around to the music whole-heartedly, apparently unaware of how ridiculous he looked.
She had begun to giggle, when Nick suddenly stopped cold.
"What-" Sara had only started her sentence when she too fell into a shocked silence. The two CSI's gaped at the scene in front of them. They had arrived back at the lab; only it didn't look the same way they had left it. The door and several windows had been broken, and inside they could see various debris scattered across the floor. A police car was parked out front, and more than a few people were milling around the area.
Nick shut off the engine and finally spoke. "Break in?"
"With all the people on the night shift inside?" Sara stared for a few more moments before taking off her seat belt and climbing out of the car, Nick following her. After asking several people and getting no really coherent answers, they set out to find Grissom in hopes that he would give them some form of explanation.
********* A/N: Sorry it was so short, the rest of the chapters should be longer. I actually had no idea what this was going to be about before I started... I just sort of wrote the first line and went from there. (Then I realised I was going to need a summary so I vaguely decided were how rest of my chapters would go :) ) Anyway, please R&R and tell me what you think, I need to now if this is worth continuing. :)
