Authors Note- Hey ya'll! So happy I got this updated again! I do not claim CSI only I do wish to claim Nicky. He is one fiiiiiiiine guy. Hehehe. Enjoy!

Nick's POV

I walked over so I was next to Sara and rested my hand on her shoulder. She looked up at me with tears streaming down her face. "He's going to be okay." I told her, trying not to choke on the tears that want to run down my hot face.

"I know Nick." She leaned her head on my hand while Warrick tried to slow the bleeding.

"Nick give me your shirt."

"Of course it's always got to be my shirt huh man?" I gave a chuckle and took off my shirt. I notice Sara checking me out but I said nothing as I rushed to help Warrick.

"What can I do?" I ask him folding my shirt quickly and giving it to him. "You need to move him off Sara's lap so he's flat on the ground." I nodded and moved to where Grissom's head was.

"Sara, I've got to move him and you've got to help me." She sniffled and nodded.

"Okay on the count of three." I grabbed his shoulders as gently as I could. "1…2…3" we moved him fast to the ground and all he let out was a small groan.

Sighing with relief I leaned over his body giving him shade while Warrick worked on his wound.

"Where are they? What's taking so long?" Sara just started fidgeting and got up from her spot on the ground. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into a tight hug.

"It's going to be okay." I ran my hand through her hair as I pulled back and smiled. She smiled up at me but turned around just as quickly. "Thank god."

Warrick and I both turned our heads to see and hear the ambulance coming through the sand. We looked at each other and smiled, getting Grissom ready to be moved.

"Sara make sure they know we're here." She ran towards the ambulance and waved her hands like crazy. I will admit she look adorable trying to get their attention. The Ambulance pulled up faster than we expected and the gurney was by Grissom in a heartbeat.

"On three we lift." The head paramedic called to us while the gurney was lowered. "Okay…three!" We lifted with success but there was no noise from Gil this time.

"Oh please no, please Griss." Sara was muttering off on the sidelines.

"I'll go with him and meet you and Sara there." Warrick said rushing alongside Grissom's lifeless body. Sara ran over to me as soon as they were all in the ambulance and starting to drive away. I hugged her tight, looking over her shoulder to where Ecklie's corpse was laying.

"Nick, let's go. I'm not feeling too good." Sara whispered tugging at my arm slightly stumbling. I picked her up before she collapsed and rushed her to the car.

"Oh Sara, what am I going to do with you?" I gave her some water and sped off towards the road.

Sara held my hand as tight as her weak body would let her. "I love you Sara." I whispered as I stole a glance over at her. She shifted and mumbles something inaudible to the world. I smirked and turned my attention back to the road.

At the Hospital Nicks POV

The entire team was there, lab techs even Hodges. We all fidgeted in our seats but I paced the small corridor trying not to panic. "Everything's going to be okay. Just fine." I told myself.

When Sara and I had arrived, I rushed her in while holding her in my arms and called for help. They put her on a gurney and rushed her back. I told one of the nurses who was closet that she was dehydrated and in a state of shock.

The scene out in the desert spread through my mind like wildfire. I couldn't help but let the tears fall. I couldn't resist. I felt a cool hand on my shoulder and turned around to see Warrick.

"Hey man." He called soothingly to me with a smile. "You need a cup of coffee." I shook my head but didn't resist as he lead me down to the café area of the hospital. He led me to a table then went and got us both two cups of coffee.

"I love her." I stated breaking the silence. "I know, everyone knows you two are head over heels for each other. You were the ones who didn't catch on." I smirked and took a swig of my drink.

"Blinded by love I guess." I looked up at him and he smiled to me. "Looks to be that way Nicky." Warrick gave me a reassuring grin and leaned back to drink his coffee. "I can't loose her, not when I just got her. I'd go crazy without her. I was so stupid! I should of offered to go with her…"

"This isn't your fault Nick." Warrick stated strongly setting down his cup of coffee. I just looked up at him and stared him straight in the eye.

"I should have been with her from the start." I sighed and practically choked on my coffee when I noticed Warrick's hand out on the table.

"What?" I said to him confused. He laughed. "We made that bet way back when, and you didn't believe me when I said you two were going to hook up." He laughed and I laughed too.

"Pretty stupid of me. How much was it for again?"

"Only 30" I shook my head. "You got me on that one." Warrick smiled and took the money proudly.

"Let's head back up. I'm sure there's got to be some news."

"Yeah, thanks Rick. I really needed this."

'Anytime man. It's what I'm here for." He smiled and we head back to the waiting room to check in on our two CSIs.
