Chapter 2

A few days had passed since Nick had placed the phone call to Grissom explaining to him how he and the rest of the team including the main lab rats were worried about Catherine. Grissom listened to Nick as he listed his many worries and after receiving the answer that he wanted to hear Nick had placed the receiver down and turned and out of character hugged the closest thing to him which just happened to be Mandy. Nick offered a smile before he had to return to the break room where Catherine was gathering the team to hand out information on new cases.

After finally gathering all the team members; Nick, Ray and Greg in the breakroom - Catherine explained about the two new cases - she paired Greg and Ray together and joined Nick on the other case. Greg and Ray left almost immediately - whilst Nick took the time to glance at the adress before glancing up at Catherine. "After you Cath!"

3 1/2 hours had passed before an extremely tired Nick managed to make his way to the and Ray were having some sort of deep discussion about something relating to their cases - whilst Catherine was observing Wendy and Hodges through the glass having another arguement. After seeing that the rest of the team was distracted Nick went to find Mandy - which he did. It was whilst he was in the lab that he received a text on his cell phone. It was from Grissom saying that he was only 5 mins away from the crime lab building. Nick smiled to himself and turned to Mandy and before he could say anything; "Don't worry I'll distract Catherine." Mandy left the room and Nick was glad that someone else was in on the plan. Smiling he then followed Mandy out of the door to go and meet Grissom so he could guide him to Catherine's office under the pretence that Lindsey was in trouble.
