Jack walked into the office carrying a photograph. He slapped the photograph on the table where the rest of the team were drinking coffee.
"Her name's Sara Sidle. 35. Crime scene investigator from Las Vegas. Disappeared last night." Jack told them.
"Why was she in New York?"
"There was a connection with a case they were solving in Vegas. Sara came with a Nick Strokes. He reported her missing. Said she went out for a walk around 8 at night...never came back. He's staying at the Embassy Suites Hotel. Martin, Samantha...you take him."
"Got it," they answered and left from their seats.
"Vivian, check Sara's credit card bills, telephone...her bank statements,"
"I'm on it," Vivian said, standing up and leaving too.
"Danny, you and I are going to fly to Las Vegas."

"How long have you known Sara?" Samantha asked.
"3 years. She uhh...transferred in from San Francisco."
"Has Sara ever seemed...suicidal, or, the type to run away from her problems?" Matin asked.
"No. She's not like that. I mean..." Nick said defensively.
"Then what is she like?" Martin asked.
"Sara's basically a work-a-holic. She doesn't have much time for friends and a social life."
"Does she have a boyfriend?" Samantha asked.
"Well, guys at work like her. If that's what you're asking."
"Does she have a boyfriend?" Martin asked.
"Not that I know of..." Nick responded.
"Ok. Can you tell us what happened prior to Sara's walk?"
"Well, umm. We were investigating a case. And there were some developements in New York. So Grissom, our uhh, boss...sent Sara and me here. Yesterday, we interviewed a couple people. Talked to the cops. Had dinner. And, she decided to go for a walk,"
"Pretty casual, then?" Samantha asked.
"I don't know why, but I feel like you're leaving out something." Martin questioned.
Nick looks at the floor.
"Sara and I were dating."
"Oh, so when you told us there was no boyfriend, you were lying to us?" Martin stated.
"We've kept it a secret for about 3 months now. We didn't plan to tell anyone until...until it got really serious."
"What's your definition of 'serious'?"
"Marriage." Nick said shortly.
"Anything else you'd like to tell us?" Samanrha asked.
"Well, after dinner...we sorta, got in a fight." Nick admitted.
"A fight? A fight about what?" Martin asked.
"Work. Us. I don't really remember right now. That's when she decided to go for a walk,"
"And when she didn't come back..." Samantha said.
"I got worried and called the cops," Nick said, burying his face into his hands.
"Ok. Thank you Mr. Stokes. We'll contact you if there are any more questions,"
"Do you think you'll be able to find her?" Nick asked softly.
Martin and Samantha glance hesitantly at each other.
"We don't know. We'll be in touch," Martin says before he and Samantha head out the door.
