Ch1: Bad Trip

Catherine was trying to plan out what she and Lindsay were going to do for Thanksgiving this year it was fast approaching. Lindsay was not to keen on the idea of spending it with Doc Robbins, his family, Brass and Nick, like she has been for years. Doc Robbins has always just told stories and with his profession the topics of stories were not necessarily meal appropriate. Catherine tries to think if she and Lindsay should just go out instead but she still has two weeks to consider it and luckily Lindsay has not brought it up so she still has time to work it out.

Nick was in the bathroom rinsing off his face. He felt himself burning up his hair was trenched and dripping with sweat. He unbuttons his shirt trying to cool himself down but feeling as if it is doing nothing. His heart starts pumping so fast he's sure that his heart would explode. His stomach feels terrible and he feels like he could throw up at any moment but he doesn't. He rinses his face once more and then slowly looks up at himself in the mirror. His eyes were super dilated to where they looked black instead of their usual chocolate black. He starts buttons his shirt when he feels like he's on a boat ready to tip at any moment. Each step becoming harder than the last. He leaves his water bottle and several case files behind trying to get to Catherine's office for help.

She was in too deep of thought to notice Nick wander in her office. His steps were like someone who was borderline drunk he was holding his stomach and shivering and sweaty.

"Nicky, thanks giving is… Nick, are you alright?" Catherine says turning away from her computer and finally looking at Nick. He was sweating through his shirt and beads dripping off his forehead. Catherine turns nervous because he does not answer and starts to shake his leg as he does waiting to testify. She touches his forehead and he is hot to the touch. "Nick…"

"Cath… I don't feel well…" he slurs still looking at the floor as if refusing to throw up.

"Nick let's get you to the hospital," Catherine says she reaches over her desk grabbing her keys. Nick's breathing becomes erratic in short shallow breaths. Catherine looks on thinking that Nick is on the verge of a seizure she touches his shoulder. She opens her cell phone with her other hand attempting to call DB's office to let him know something was wrong.

"Nick…" she says he stands in an explosive motion knocking her off her feet. Catherine lands on her wrist bending it the wrong way. She looks at Nick in horror. Nick yells as he slides everything off her desk growling. He mumbles under his breath making no sense he kicks over her desk.

"Nick!" Catherine yells trying to get up favoring her wrist. Nick kicks down her office door sending flying off the hinges he continues to mumble and growls. "Nick! Stop! Help! Brass!" Catherine yells for anyone trying to stand but her heel broke so she kicks them off.

Nick storms into the hallway heading straight for the break room. He walks with such anger and hostility in his steps he runs into Morgan and Hodges. Nick's eyebrows slanted downward and his eyes squinted his jaw tensed and out in front of his top teeth giving himself a fake under bite. Hodges falls to the ground trying to catch him but failing Morgan catches herself on the wall.

"What the hell?" Hodges says Catherine runs out helping him up.

"Morgan, go get Brass!" Catherine yells hearing Nick kick down the break room door Morgan runs not second guessing Catherine and knew by the fear in Catherine's voice that now wouldn't be the best time. DB runs pass her.

"Cath, what's going on?" Hodges says dusting himself off but Catherine follows DB not answering Hodges.

Nick rips the coffee machine out of the wall and sends it flying through the air smashing it into the television causing sparks to fly and destroying the Television to fall. He growls and flips the table over knocking Sara over but Greg was able to get to his feet. He grabs Nick's arm trying to restrain him but unable to, Nick grabs Greg by his collar with a strong white knuckle grip. Greg pushes Nick trying to separates himself from Nick but Nick head butts him. Greg's nose immediately starts to swell and drip blood. He throws Greg off and Sara goes to his aid, DB and Catherine get in the room just Brass gets there with other officers. DB grabs Nick, Nick turns and faces him and DB notices the awkward rapid movement of Nick's eyes flicking up and down. Nick blasts DB with a push and DB falls over the table landing hard on his shoulder. Nick grabs his head and yells. His hair all messed up his shirt wet with sweat and untucked. He rips his shirt out sending his buttons astray, he moves and looks deep at his reflection. Nick's gunshot scar open for everyone to see.

"She's here! She's here!" he cries touching the glass.

"Nick! Stop!" Catherine yelled as everyone in the lab looked on in horror. He is such a friendly, gentle, nice guy and for some reason right now he was the farthest thing from that at the moment. He was growling, cussing in his mumbled speech, and being violent something no has seen from him before.

"Nicky! Stop it!" Brass yells holding his tazer tightly debating whether to use it.

"You want some popsicles Nicky! Taste the witch's brew!" Nick yells taking a chair throwing it throw the one window behind the TV showering some of his co workers with glass. "It's going to hurt! It's the light showering from the dark of the skies! They have snipers on the roofs!" he yells frustrated but he confuses everyone. Brass lowers the tazer and looks at Catherine who shrugs her shoulders.

"Nicky… What's going on?"

"It's him! He let this happen!" Nick says pointing to his reflection. "You son of a bitch!" Nick winds up and punches the glass he falls on the shards of glass he cuts his arm and torso. Brass grips the tazer again raising it again. Nick stands slowly while growling, he stares Brass down with such hate and anger in his eyes it frightened everyone. Brass sees a large glass shard in Nick's arm as the blood drips down his arm.

"Nicky we need to get you some help. Please calm down," Catherine says trying to reason with Nick completely shocked and confused by his behavior. She knew something was really wrong.

"She said it wasn't going to hurt! It looks like lasers stabbing me at the sand on the beach! Be careful she's a harlot mermaid!" he yells a uniform officer steps closer and Nick yanks the glass from his flesh and waves it at the officer. The officer jumps back as Nick's arm gushes blood.

"Nick, drop it!"

"The boat is going to sink!" Nick took a step forward and Brass fired the tazered and the barbs caught Nick in the neck and upper chest. He drops the glass and falls to his knees and rips the barbs from his skin he yanks on the cords pulling it out of Brass' grip. "You are with the witches!" Nick gets back to his feet and his breathing becomes erratic again. Nick stammers forward and pushes Brass not nearly as hard as he has to the others, but enough to send Brass to the floor. Officer Mitch grabs Nick's arm, Nick grabs his collar and sucker punches him then throws him to the side. Nick turned his gaze to Catherine still growling with anger. He steps towards her but instead of hurting her he clutches his chest. His entire face changes from anger to painful shock he clenches his jaw and falls, Catherine catches him.

"Nicky…" Catherine says laying him down. His eyes are close and he is not moving. She shakes his chest a little and then checks for a pulse and cannot find one. "Nicky!" she says with a new found panic in her voice. Brass comes over and starts CPR.

"Someone call a bus!" Brass says starting chest compressions. Catherine takes her shirt off leaving herself in her camisole she wraps her shirt around the gash on Nick's arm. Catherine kept checking for a pulse and still was not getting. The team and everyone were circling the duo as they were trying to save their friend's life.

"Nicky, you got to wake up…" she says feeling tears rush her eyes. The paramedics come in and relief Brass and Catherine as they join the circle of onlookers. The one paramedic starts compressions as the other starts to hook up the AED.

"Everyone stand back!" the medic yelled as they shocked Nick. His body tenses up and relaxes and finally they have a heart beat but he is still unconscious. They start to load him on the stretcher and Catherine followed him. She hops in the ambulance with him as another arrives to assist people who were hurt at Nick's destruction.

Nick started to fade in and out of consciousness. His heart beat was going too fast and it was overwhelming the paramedics. He sits up and grabs Catherine with his good arm his other was completely useless. The monitor starts to beep again and Nick slumps over again and they shock him again.

"What the hell just happened?" DB says finally making it to his feet.
