A/N Do I need a title for each chapter?

Disclaimer just borrowing if I owned Nick and Sara she wouldn't be with Grissom

Spoilers none so far but it could happen post Season 7

Special thanks to CSIHannah for her review

"What's the matter"?

"What happened"? Nick asked Sara; anxious to know who had made such a strong woman cry.

"Ekclies trying to fire me and Grissom" she chocked out.

"What"! Nick exclaimed, "Why, can he even do that".

"According to his 'source' me and Grissom are supposed to be sleeping together"

"Are you"? Nick asked her.

"No"! "I know I chased him for the best part of 3 years. But I told him that one-day he would look back and wonder what might have happened, and by then he would be too late. I've moved on".

"Sorry I just…"

"It's OK I know what you mean and thank you"

"For what Nick asked puzzled."

"Letting me get your shirt all wet" She said a smile Playing on her lips.

"Don't worry about it, it was worth it to be the one who got a smile back on your face."

Sara giggled smiling wide showing that cute gap between her teeth.

"You want to grab breakfast"? She asked him.

Sure diner down on 23rd? Nick replied.

"You're on let's go"

At the diner they sat down in a booth and ordered with the friendly waitress who knew the whole shift well.

"What are you going to do?" Nick asked her carefully while they waited for the food.

"I mean Ecklie will never prove anything," He added quickly sensing she was still upset.

"I have no idea," she told him deadpan.

"Maybe you should call IA and tell them what happened, get there before Ecklie" Nick suggested

"Yeah… Yeah, that's a good idea I'll do it now".

"Hello IA switchboard how would you like me o direct your call"

"Erm hi like to speak to whoever's been appointed to handle the internal investigation into the relationship between supervisor Grissom and Sara Sidle please" Sara told the operator.

"That would be Detective McCabe I'll connect your call for you"

"Thank You"

"Hello this is Detective McCabe"

"Hi I'm Sara Sidle I rang to let you know that firstly there is nothing happening between me and Grissom. I'll admit that I had feelings for him but that was in the past I've moved on from there. And secondly Conrad Ecklie has been trying to fire me since I started at CSI. His attempts have ranged from a supposed DUI to a disagreement with a co-worker.

"Well Thank You for letting me know I have a whole filing cabinet with case file from IA investigations based on allegations made by Conrad Ecklie state wide."

"Obviously I will have to look into it but I wouldn't worry to much about our findings, we've never come up with anything previously."

"Thank You that makes me feel a lot better."

"Well the fact that your calling me shows that you care a great deal about your job and we need more CSIs like you Miss Sidle. Now you have a nice day and I'll see you tomorrow to get a written statement but that's all."

"Thanks that's great I'll see you then Goodbye"

"Goodbye"
