Ch7: Worlds Collide


I come into work after another great night with Jenny. She took care of my bruised ribs and concussion for me besides she is a RN. Besides some stitches and bruises I'm fine and Mrs. Phelps confessed that she was lying in hopes of making the case go away. Still I feel as if my team gave up on me. Jenny tried to get me to think about it from there point of view and she used other ways but the hurt is still there. And I don't think it will go away from one good day at the Tangiers although it did help.

Jenny is the best even though I disagree with her about this. Jenny is everything I want in a woman. She's beyond beautiful, she's smart, caring, super funny, and she always makes me happy and knows what to say. I think I'm falling for her but I've only known her for a short while it's not normal but nothing about our relationship is.

I walk into my office after spending the whole shift at a crime scene and find Catherine already sitting inside I wonder why she is here.

"Hey Cath"

"Hey Nicky I heard IAB cleared you"

"Yea" I say sitting across from her checking my email "what's going on, Cath?"

"I don't know how to say this Nick"

"C'mon Cath you've never been one to be around the bush... Spit it out" I say predicting and fearing what she is gonna say.

"I recognize Jenny..."

"Ok. From where?"

"From a prostitution ring a year ago. Then again she was arrested for prostitution again with human trafficking six months ago, she was ordered to sex addiction rehab"

"Cath I don't care" I say not looking at the file as she tries to push it to me.

"Nicky... Believe me I'm one for a good time but if she is addicted it's something different" she hands it to me; I swat it out of her hand. I regain myself in a deep breath.

"Cath I said I don't care"

"Nicky... I'm looking out for you"

"Don't"

"Nick listen I'm not trying to tell you what to do. I'm really not so please relax" she says which only makes my frustration grow.

"Don't tell me to relax! She had problems in the past... The past is the past"

"But if she's addicted to sex what else is she addicted too"

"Nothing! She doesn't smoke! She doesn't drink! She doesn't do drugs! She's a nurse now!"

"Nick..."

"Where do you think I met...?" I stop myself "You know what Cath, you were the last person I expected this from! Why don't you just stay out of my love life? Okay?"

"Where did you meet her?"

"Don't fucking worry about it" I knock off my own hat as my anger and rage take a hold of me. "Let's just worry about cases for now on" I say leaving to the locker room, I hear her following me.

"Nicky forget I even said anything. I'm just trying to look at for you, but c'mon Nicky... a sex addict"

"I'm so not having this conversation... Bye Cath" I say interrupting her and storming out.


I try to compose myself as I drive home I can't believe this. Catherine is my best friend I ant believe she would act like that. I never said anything about the guys she dated maybe I complained once about Eddie but that was after he smacked her around.

My phone starts ringing I look at the screen 'Jenny' I feel a smile spread on my face.

"Hey" I say

"Hey what are you up to crime fighter?"

"Just heading home. What about you, life saver?" I say trying to hide that I'm upset.

"Nothing just relaxing... You sound upset is everything alright?"

"Yea just a tough day at work... I got into a disagreement with Catherine?"

"Disagreement? Or fight?"

"A fight its silly don't worry about it I'll be okay"

"Okay... There's a benefit dinner tomorrow that both lithe hospital and PD has been invited to... so I was wondering if a certain sexy Texan would be my date?"

"Sure I'd love too"

"You wanna come over?"

"I would be I have court first thing in the morning which is only in a couple hours" I say I hear her try to cover up a yawn.

"Call me afterwards"

"Okay I will go to bed sleepy head"

"Good luck"

"Night"

"Good night"


I wake up twenty minutes late and I split my coffee on my lap when I was leaving. It was a rough morning to say the least that and I'm running on two hours of sleep. I finally arrive at court fifteen minutes late; I sneak inside and sit in the back away from Catherine and the team.

"We will resume in a week from today" the judge declares banging the gavel. What the... What is going on? If I went through all that just for the case to get pushed back someone is getting hit.

"Oh hey Nick you look like you slept in a sewer grate" Greg says, I realize I look like shit but it's just been one of those days.

"What's going on?"

"You didn't hear he got pneumonia... Trial postponed but it looks like he's going take the plea bargain" Greg says pointing to the prosecutor and defense attorney talking.

"Oh"

"Yea we are going out to celebrate? You coming?"

"Nah I'm going to meet with someone" I say moving trying not to feel my wet pants.

"Oh the famous Jenny" Greg says I feel my rage overcome my body.

"What do you mean famous?" I say somewhat harshly.

"Nothing calm down cowboy it was a joke... Are you going to the benefit tonight?"

"Yea..." I say leaving. I feel my phone vibrate I look and the coffee wrecked the screen. It's very dim I can sort of see '1 -w mess-ge fr-m Cathe-ne' I open the message 'are you a sex addict?' I very anger and rage that I have never fled before I throw my phone on the ground.


Reviews? The lab knows? Does the lab know or is Nick assuming the worst?
