A/N: Just an observation I made while watching "Committed". Nick's POV.


Lists

When I notice her doing it for the first time I stupidly ask her about it.

She looks at me as if I have just grown a second head and starts talking about something entirely different. Once in a while she looks in my direction as if she is trying to decipher why I asked her the question in the first place. Then she just shakes her head as if she wants to get rid of her thoughts and my question altogether.

I wish I could do the same, but no shaking of my head will get rid of my thoughts regarding Sara Sidle.

She intrigues me to say the least and that's why I find myself going through websites larger part of the population doesn't know exist just to try to find an explanation to why she drops her voice when she is interrogating murderers or asking questions to victims. Her voice gets softer towards the end of her sentences making me wonder from time to time if she will manage to finish them. She always does, but barely.

It's so different from when she is talking to me. Those times her voice is steady and even, except when she is angry about something or in her case everything. Then she rants and raves on and on, her voice fluctuating like ocean waves. But it never lacks emotion.

It would be easy to think she has stopped caring and that is why her voice has changed. Too easy, because it can't be true. If anything her voice has more emotion in it than ever before.

With a missing explanation, I'm forced to add it to my list of oddities, the list with characteristics I failed to explain.

A week later when we are interrogatinganother alleged murderer, she does it again, but this time she catches me staring at her. My lack of reaction to an answer of our perpetrator must have given me away. A look of annoyance passes her face and yet again she shakes her head.

Which I add to my list of circumstances when Sara shakes her head.
