During Down the Drain. I don't own CSI: Written on 9/17/06-10/18/06 Added on 12/9/06
Warrick had told Nick what Sara did with the door. At first Nick didn't believe him. It took Warrick a while to make Nick believe him. After that, Nick went to the locker room. He pulled out his cell phone and called Sara.
"Sara, its Nick. Listen, when you get this, call me. Please"
He shut his phone, got up and punched the locker. He still couldn't believe her. She risked her life and Warrick's for evidence. She was turning into a workaholic.
"I can't believe she would do that. She's impossible," he stated out loud.
"Who's impossible, Nicky"
Nick turned around. There was a shadow of someone in front of the locker room door. The woman came forward and Nick frowned. She had been listening to him. Well, at least she didn't know who he was talking about. Nick stood still as Sara walked up to him. She sat down on the bench and waited for him to do the same. He did. He took Sara's hands into his own and looked her straight into the eyes. He hoped that she wouldn't look away. She didn't.
"So, who's impossible"
"Um... you"
Sara's eyes widen. She didn't believe Nick just said that.
"What do you mean"
"Warrick told me what happened at the house. You could have kill yourself and him. I know you want to save the evidence but you need to think practical"
"I know, Nick. I'm sorry to worry you"
Nick looked at Sara, waiting for more.
"And it was stupid. I know that now"
"Promise me you won't do that again. I don't care what the evidence might do for the case. But if there's a bomb in a house, I want you out of there real quick"
"I promise"
"Good, because I don't want to hear that something happened to you. I don't know what I would do"
"Because you like me"
Nick looked up at her with his mouth wide open. Sara had a childish smile on her face.
"How could you have known"
"Because I feel the same way"
Nick looked down.
"Sara, I don't like you……I…
Sara looked at him. Her face got red. She was embarrassed. She got up and started to walk away. Nick hurried after her.
"Wait, Sara"
"No, Nick. I'm sorry"
He stopped her by grabbing her by her waist and he turned her around. He was grinning from ear to ear. She was confused.
"I love you. I love you more than anything. I don't just like you as a friend. I want to be with you forever"
Sara's face brightens. She went right into his arms. She whispered into his ear. 'I love you, too.' Nick picked her up into his arms and swung her around. No one noticed them. Even if someone did, they couldn't have cared less. When Nick put her down, Sara buried her face in his chest. Finally someone walked pass the locker room. He looked inside and smile at himself.
"Behave"
Nick and Sara turned around to see Grissom leaving. Their face light up with embarrassment. They looked at each other and laughed.
The end.
