New York

"That was a rough flight." Jackie commented as Nick grabbed her suitcase from the overhead compartment.

"Yeah, it was bumpy, there was a lot of turbulence." Nick agreed.

"I didn't mind it, it was kind of fun, like a roller coaster ride." Sara commented.

"You are some kind of crazy Sidle." Nick told his friend with a grin.

After everyone had gotten all three of their bags down the trio exited the plane.

The trio was in New York City for an entomology conference for a weekend, well actually Nick was there for the conference, Jackie went because it was a free weekend that she could spend by the hotel pool to enjoy herself during her last moments of summer break (and getting to spend time with Nick was a bonus too obviously) and Sara tagged along to meet Grissom who was attending the same conference, they wanted to see where things stood between them and Sara hadn't had a weekend off from the lab in what seemed like eighty five years so she decided to go too.

"Sorry I'm tagging along with you guys, I don't mean to be a third wheel." Sara told them as they walked through the airport.

"Well I told Jackie to book you a later flight but she never listens to me." Nick joked with a grin, obviously kidding.

"Don't listen to him Sara, I'm glad you came with us, it'll be nice to have someone to hang out with while he's at the conference." Jackie told her.

"Daddy can we go on the vator?" A little boy pestered his father as they hustled to catch a plane.

"Not right now buddy, we'll miss our plane." The father responded.

Jackie looked at Nick and smiled.

"Who does that remind you of?" She asked Nick.

"Sloan."

"Yep." Jackie agreed.

"Would you move lady?" A man who was standing behind Sara demanded.

"Hey now, a simple excuse me would have sufficed, you have no right to talk to her like that." Nick said as he got in between Sara and the man.

"Hi Tom." Sara said with a huge smile.

"Oops." Nick mumbled.

"Tom, these are my friends, Nick and Jackie. Nick and Jackie, this is my friend Tom, he is a cop in San Francisco."

"Nice to meet you, sorry about before." Nick said as he shook his hand.

"No problem, you were just looking out for her."

"What are you doing in New York?" Sara asked.

"Visiting my sister, she just had a baby. What are you doing in New York?"

"I'm just kind of on vacation." Sara replied.

"Sara Sidle on vacation? That's something I didn't think I'd ever hear." He told her with a playful smile.

Sara laughed, she had to admit she was a workaholic but she was getting better.

"Well Sara, it was great seeing you but I better get going before I miss my plane." He then turned his attention to Nick and Jackie. "It was nice meeting you."

"Likewise." Nick and Jackie replied in unison.

Tom then hurried on, racing to catch his plane.

After what seemed like forever Nick, Jackie, and Sara arrived at their hotel. Grissom was waiting for them in the lobby.

"Hi." Sara told him with a smile.

"Hi." He responded also with a smile as he politely grabbed her suitcase.

"Hi Nick, hi Jackie." He then told the couple.

"Hi." Both of them told him.

After that they all got checked into their hotel.

They were all on the same floor so they rode the elevator up to their floor.

After making plans to meet up for dinner in a little bit they all went off to their separate rooms, Jackie watched Sara walk to her own room a few doors down from Grissom's.

"Nicky, don't you think it's odd that they aren't staying in the same room?" Jackie asked Nick once she and Nick had walked into their room and shut the door.

"No, not really, they aren't married anymore you know, I don't find it that odd, and quit eavesdropping." He told her with a grin.

She laughed and started digging through her suitcase for some different shoes.

That evening the two couples all went out for dinner and had a lot of fun laughing and joking with one another.

This promised to be a fun weekend, or did it?
