Dislaimer: I do not own CSI or any member of CSI...I don't own George Strait, I do own a Texas nursing liscence and a car grin


The Next Day

Nick let himself into Angie's apartment – and saw Angie applying makeup to her arm.

"You're lucky we both have the night off Angie"

"I work every other night Nick"

"Well then, who works the other nights?"

"You remember Annie?"

"One of the classmates you set me up with?"

"Yeah, the one that's still speaking to us"

"Ya'll came together?"

"Yeah, we share the apartment too"

"Ok Angel, what's with the Tattoo cover kit?"

"Eric bit me – he got angry before I left, lost his temper again"

"Is that the main reason you left?"

"Micky's trying to indict me Nick" Angie sighed

"Sheeze, you were ten Angie"

"Yeah, I know," Angie grabbed her coat, "Lets go- time to show me Vegas Nick"

They got into the Chevy Silverado Angie drove from Dallas to Vegas.

"Thanks for letting me drive your truck Angie"

"I know you miss pick-ups Nicky"

He turned on the car and George Strait came out of the CD player

If you leave me, I won't miss you,
And I won't ever take you back.
Girl, your mem'ry won't ever haunt me
'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.

"50 Number Ones?"

"My favorite CD Nick"

"I bought that for you"

"The year Micky bought the John Michael Montgomery CD"

"Yeah"

They sang along to the rest of the song

I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
From my front porch you can see the sea.
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the golden gate in free.

I don't worship the ground you walk on.
I never have and that's a fact.
I won't follow or try to find you
'Cause I don't love you, and now if you'll buy that.

I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
From my front porch you can see the sea.
I got some ocean front property in Arizona.
If you'll buy that, I'll throw the golden gate in free.

I got some ocean front property in Arizona.

Yeah, if you'll buy that I'll throw the golden gate in free.

"So Nicky, where to?"

"There's a great restaurant at the Venetian"

"Great"

Meanwhile back at the Lab the Night shift is just starting

Sara sat in the break room sipping her Caramel Macchiato from Starbucks.

Greg walked in

"Man am I glad that Mia's back tonight"

"That addicted to the field Greg?"

"Oh Yeah"

They were interrupted by a tall brunette

"Do ya'll know where…" She looked at the piece of paper she was holding, "Gil Grissom's office is?"

"Yeah," Sara answered, "Let me take you there"

The women left Greg alone in the break room, so he broke out the Blue Hawaiian.

"I'm Sara Sidle"

"Annie Merritt"

"So why are you looking for Grissom?"

"I'm one of the new nurses"

"There's more than one?"

"Yeah, my best friend Angie and I trade off nights"

"Ah" said Sara," Well here we are, if you need anything let me know"

"Sure"

Sara walked back to the break room lost in thought

"So who was that Sara?"

"It seems that we have two new nurses Greg"

"Does she know that?"

"She told me that Nick's sister was her best friend"

"Cool, you think they can hook me up?"

"With which one Greg?"

"The new one"

"Annie or Angie Greg" Sara sighed

"Annie – you know I didn't know her name"

"Why not Angie?"

"Do I honestly look like I can handle the constant scrutiny by Nick?"

"I guess not" Sara grinned

Grissom walked into the break room

"Where's Catherine?" asked Grissom

"Here Gil" Catherine answered from behind him

"You're late"

"Lindsey was scared, she had a dream that I was shot at work, and it took me a while to get out of the house"

"Ok, just call and let us know that you'll be late next time"

"So what are the assignments?"

"Sara, I'm handing your case over to Catherine, I have a new, special request for you"

"Special request?" asked Sara

"DA from Dallas, a Michael Stokes"

"Nick's brother?"

"Apparently he got the impression from Nick that you were one of the best"

Sara sighed, "What's the case?"

"Closed case from 25 years ago, ruled a murder/suicide"

"And he wants it reopened why?"

"Claims it was a double homicide"

"Who does he suspect?"

"The couple's daughter, she was 10 at the time, and was adopted in a closed adoption, the judge is supposed to send her a certified letter about the case being opened, if she replies, then we can find her, the case is still sealed at her request"
