A/N Hello, I know I should really be working on one of my fics that need to be updated, especially since i've been very busy lately, but this just popped into my mind, and I knew I wouldn't have a chance to write it, if I didn't do it now. This fic is Nick/Sara, and is NOT a fic that Grissom/Sara shippers will like. Please read and review, just don't kill me lol.

Nick Stokes was sound asleep when he heard his phone begin to ring, he looked over at his alarm clock to see what time it was, the clock was flashing 4:00am. I wonder who's calling me at this hour? Guess it must be Grissom. Nick thought to himself. It was his night off, but that never stopped Grissom from calling if he needed someone to work a case. Nick reached over to his nightstand, and picked up phone.

" Stokes, " Nick said.

However, no one said a word.

" Hello, " Nick said into the phone, begining to think this was probably a prank call. Then, he heard a strange sound, it sounded like someone crying.

" Hello, is anyone there, " Nick asked, but still no answer. Then there was another strange sound, and this time he knew for sure, it was someone crying.

" Hello, " Nick said again, he was getting very concerned now.

" N - Nick, " a weak voice sobbed.

Nick knew that he had heard this voice before, he was almost sure he knew who it was, but he wasn't sure.

" Sara, " Nick said, in a very concerned tone.

Nick heard a couple more sobs. " Nick... Nick... help me... please... please help me, "

Now Nick was possitive, the woman on the other end of the phone was Sara.

" Sara, what happened? Where are you, " Nick asked, now totally consumed with worry.

" I... I'm at the... theBlue Moon Bar, " Sara cried.

Nick knew the bar, the team had went there several different times, after they had solved a big case.

" I'll be right there, " Nick said.

" O... Okay... good bye... " Sara cried.

" Bye, " Nick said, and with that he hung up the phone, got dressed, and headed right over to the bar.

The drive seemed to take forever. Nick's mind was whirling, he was extremely worried about his co - worker and good friend.Nick didn't know what had happened, but one thing he did know was that it must be something pretty bad for Sara to call him. Then another question popped into his mind, why didn't she call Grissom?

Within ten minutes, Nick was at the bar. As he pulled into the parking lot, he saw Sara, she was sitting on the sidewalk near the side of the bar, her head was in her hands, and she appeared to be crying. Nick jumped out of his SUV, and darted over to Sara.

As Nick got closer to his friend, he noticed that he shirt was ripped, her hair was all messed up, and she was full of dirt. Nick heart began to pound out of his chest, for he knew the signs, and this didn't look good. He was pretty sure that he knew what happened, but he hoped and prayed that he was wrong.

Nick walked up by Sara's side, then placed his hand on her shoulder. He was shocked by Sara's reaction, she flinched, and pulled away quickly. She looked up, and her eyes were filled with fear.

" Sara, I... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you, " Nick said softly, as he took off his jacket, and draped it over Sara's shoulder.

" It... it's not your fault, " Sara said.

God, she sounds so scared, andhurt. Nick thought to himself.

" What happened, Sara, " Nick asked softly, as he sat down beside his friend.

Sara just sat there, staring down at the ground, she just sat there for a moment, then suddenly, she broke down and started crying. Nick put his hand on her shoulder, and this time she didn't pull away.

" Shh... shh, it's all right, it's all right, you're safe now, " Nick said softly, as he pulled Sara into his arms, she buried her head into his shoulder and sobbed.

" Why... why did he do it, Nick. W - Why... why would he want to hurt me, " Sara cried.

" Who, Sara? Who hurt you, " Nick asked softly, as he stroked her hair.

Sara started to cry even harder. " Gr - Grissom, " she whispered.

Nick was shocked by what he had just heard, then he thought about it, he probably just didn't hear Sara write, Grissom would never do something like this, he'd never hurt Sara.

" I couldn't hear you, Sara, " Nick said softly.

" Grissom... he... he ra..., " Sara started, but her sobs prevented her from saying anymore.

Nick could hardly believe what he had just been told, however, he knew that Sara wouldn't lie. Nick began to fill up with anger.

" Sara, I... I am so sorry, honey, " Nick said softly, then he held Sara ever tighter. " I'm gonna kill him, " he said after a couple moments.

Sara lifted her head, and looked up quickly. " No Nick, that's not the way to handle this, "

" Sara, I have to do something, " Nick replied.

" No Nick, please, " Sara pleaded.

" Alright, but we're going down to the police station, and we're going to report this, " Nick said firmly.

" Alright, " Sara whispered.

Then Nick helped Sara to his SUV, and they headed down to the police station.

A couple hours later, Nick lead Sara into his apartment. He had taken her down to the police station, where she filled a report, then he brought her to the hospital. Grissomwas arrested by the time Nick and Sara left the hospital. Nick had offered to let Sara stay with him for a little while, until she was feeling better. Sara agreed, although she hated the thoughts of having a babysitter, she also knew that she really needed to be with someone right now, she couldn't possibly stand staying at her apartment alone, right now.

Once they were inside Nick's apartment, he lead Sara into the living room, and they both sat down on the couch. Nick couldn't help but notice how hurt Sara looked, and he understood why, for he had been extremely hurt when he had found out that Grissom had done this to Sara too. Nick had always thought of Grissom as a good man, a little bit odd, but good. He never, ever thought that his boss was capible of this. However, Nick knew that it must be a lot worse for Sara, for she had always cared for Grissom. Nick had watched him hurt her many times, by rejecting her.

Suddenly, Nick was pulled from his thoughts when Sara spoke.

" I... I just can't believe that Grissom would hurt me like that... I mean, he didn't have to do that. I... I've always cared for Grissom, i've always wished that he would feel the same way. I just... I can't believe he did this, " Sara said, as she started to cry once again.

Nick pulled her into his arms. " I don't know Sara, I just don't know. I'm just as shocked as you are, " he replied.

" I... I can't believe I never saw it coming... I just... i've always trusted Grissom, you know," Sara cried.

" Yeah, me too, " Nick said softly.

" Nick, i'm afraid... I trusted Grissom and look what he did... how can I trust anyone now, " Sara asked.

" Oh Sara, not everyone's like that, most people aren't, and i'm not. You can trust me Sara, i'm here, and i'm going to make sure that no one hurts you like this again, " Nick said softly. Hearing his friend say those words were breaking his heart.

" I know, Nick... I trust you, " Sara said. Then she layed her head on his shoulder, soon, she was asleep. Not long after, Nick had fallen asleep too.

Both finding comfort in each other.
