(Warrick brawls with Officer Tyner who's a suspect in an OIS (Officer-in-shooting). Grissom has just split them up.)

GRISSOM: Sara.

SARA: Yeah. Come on, Warrick. Come on. Let's go.


Warrick pushed his way into the locker room, Sara a few feet behind, and punched the first locker his came too.

"Damn that guy," Warrick screamed through gritted teeth before sitting restlessly on the bench running through the middle of the room and clenching his hands.

"Warrick, calm down, you're getting yourself worked up," Sara said quietly, standing behind him, hands on his shoulders, "We'll get the evidence to nail him. It just takes time."

"I was talking about Brass. That guy's always had it in for me. Ever since…" Warrick didn't finish his sentence, couldn't finish it if he tried, but Sara knew what he meant '…ever since Holly': the reason she was first here.

Sara took a step back when Warrick turned to face her. He was no longer looked angry, more sombre and guilty than anything for bringing the memories of when he and Sara first met back. He put a hand around her wrist and pulled her to his side. Her arm went around his shoulders and his went around her waist.

"I'm sorry," he whispered, resting his head against her stomach and sighing.

"Warrick," Sara started, putting her hands on his shoulders and pulling him away from her stomach. "You need to calm down and keep a level head. We've still got a long way to go. We'll get him and Brass won't have any influence on that." She leant down and placed a soft, supportive kiss on his lips. "Brass is right though; we need that bullet."

Warrick nodded, "I know." He sat, contemplating all the evidence they had when it hit him. "Come on," he said, looking excited for a moment, before grabbing Sara's hand and pulling her from the locker room with him. "I have an idea."


(Warrick and Sara stand in front of Jeep)

SARA: You think the bullets somewhere in the jeep.

Warrick: It's not in the body. It's not at the crime scene. I like our odds.

SARA: Let's do it.

They proceed to take the Jeep apart, bit by bit.


END!
