As Nick entered the building, he felt a rush of excitement inside of him. He couldn't wait to see Sara. Last night had been great. It was their third date as a couple. They had a nice romantic dinner and then went for a long walk on the beach. He had finally found someone he was head-over-heels in love with and just the thought of her made his heart beat faster.
"How are you doing sweetheart?" Nick asked Sara putting his arm around her as they entered the break room. She looked beautiful in anything she wore. Today she was wearing a pair of dark blue jeans and a black sweatshirt, which was usually how she dressed, casual, but it looked good on her.
"Great." She replied, giving him a quick kiss. He was so sweet. "I had a wonderful time last night."
"So did I." He hadn't told her, but he was already making plans for their next date. He wanted it to be perfect.
He loved the direction their relationship was headed in, ever since she finally decided to break up with Hank she had been much happier. It was about time too. He cheated on her way too many times.
As they entered the room, they caught the end of a discussion between Greg and Warrick about some comic book.
"Hey. I thought I was the one you discussed comic books with." Nick said acting offended.
Sara gave him a playful smack in the head. "You are so childish."
He smiled at her comment. She was always so practical, but she knew how to have a good time. This was something he had only discovered recently. She always seemed so serious. This was a side of her he hadn't seen before.
At that moment Grissom walked in. "I have two cases for tonight. Sara you and Nick are on a residential homicide and Warrick, you and me have a hit and run on highway 104. Let's go."
"Do you want to drive? Or will I?" Nick asked as they left the building and headed for his car.
"You can." She replied, giving him a smile.
The drive was pretty much quiet the whole way. They both spent a lot of time thinking.
Man he looks good tonight. Sara thought to herself as they changed lanes. He had on light blue jeans and a black t-shirt that showed off his muscles. He always looked good, but tonight there was just something about him. She loved being in love. It was something she never really felt before. She hadn't had a whole lot of boyfriends, and the one's she had never really cared about her. Hank was no exception. She never really talked about her relationship with Hank, but Nick helped her through it. Nick was so different. He actually cared about her. He was so much fun to be with and he was so sweet.
It wasn't long before they arrived at the crime scene. The house was a nice ways of the road. They drove up the long spiraling driveway and stopped in front of the door. They paused for a moment before getting out. They had to check their emotions at the door, to concentrate completely on the case. The both got out and grabbed their kits, and headed for the house. Once inside a police officer met them at the door.
"Right this way."
They passed through the living room and entered a long hallway. At the end of the hallway they turned right and entered a bedroom. A woman was lying in the middle of a bed with a gash in her throat. Blood covered the sheets, and the room was a mess. Stuff was knocked over everywhere.
"She put up a fight." Sara commented. "You wanna to take the outside and I'll take the inside?"
"Sure."
As he left the house the police were just finishing up.
"Do you want us to stay? Or will you be ok by yourselves? We have another call."
"We'll be fine." Nick replied. What could happen?
It was really dark outside. There was only one light on the outside of the house and the bulb was broken. He searched around in his kit for his flashlight. He finally found it and turned it on.
He walked around the side of the house and something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. As he got closer he saw that there was a piece of cloth on the ground. He was about to get an evidence bag from his kit when something hard smacked him on the back of his head, and everything went dark.
*******
"I wonder how Nick's doing. He's been gone a long time." Sara thought to herself as she finished dusting for fingerprints on the dresser. "I should go check on him."
She grabbed her flashlight and went outside.
"This is kind of creepy." She thought out loud as she walked around the house. She had a habit of thinking out loud and it drove everyone nuts.
She noticed a flashlight on the ground still on and as she got closer she realized it was a CSI flashlight. Just then somebody grabbed her from behind. She tried to scream but his hand was covering her mouth. She jabbed her elbow into his stomach, which knocked the wind out of him but only for a second. Before she could react he punched her in the eye. She threw a punch back that hit him in the jaw. He fell over backwards and landed on the ground. He grabbed a nearby rock and hurled it at her. It collided with her forehead and she collapsed onto the ground unconscious.

Back at CSI, Warrick and Grissom were just getting back from their scene. Warrick brought the evidence to Greg in the lab who was reading one of his comic books again.
"Don't you have anything better to do than read comic books?"
"It's been a slow night."
"I guess Nick and Sara aren't back yet."
"No."
"Ok. Get this stuff processed as soon as possible. Ok?"
"Sure thing."
He left the lab and headed down the hall and ran into Grissom.
"Have Sara and Nick checked in yet?"
"No. Why? Is there a problem?" Grissom asked concerned.
"No, they're just not back yet."
"I'm sure they're fine."
"Yeah. You're probably right." He still couldn't help the feeling he had in his gut that something was wrong.
