"Catherine!" Grissom called out as he spotted her in the break room.
"Sorry to bother you but would you mind rounding everybody up? I'd like to tell them something, you to."
"Um, okay." she said looking curiously at him
"Great I'll be in my office."
Before she could say anything further, he was already gone She pushed in her chair, and started searching. She found Sara, Nick, and Warrick chatting in the lab, while Greg fooled around with some of the files. Right when she entered the lab Sara turned to Greg.
"Greg, cut it out. You might mess up the evidence."
"Hey, I know what I'm doing, besides you said might."
Sara rolled her eyes
"Hey, everybody." Catherine said, everyone looked at her "Grissom wants us all in his office ASAP."
Nick and Sara looked at Greg.
"Don't look at me! I didn't do anything."
They all walked out of the lab; "Well I didn't."
Once they got to Grissom's office they were shocked to find a tall young man with blond spiked hair, and baby blue eyes
"I'm glad to see your all here." Grissom smiled
"Why did you want to see us?" Warrick asked still staring at the "mystery man"
"Well… I want you all to meet Brad." The "mystery man" smiled and waved.
" I thought we could use a little bit of extra help. No offense to you guys. Okay, well, Brad this Nick, Nick this Brad."
"Hey," Brad said, Nick just smiled
"This is Warrick," He nodded his head in Brad's direction
"This is Catherine." Catherine shook his hand
"This is Greg." He also shook Brad's hand
"And this is Sara."
Brad smiled when he saw her. His eyes ran up and down her body. She said softly said hi then hid behind Nick noticing his "wandering" eye.
"Nick," Sara whispered as they left
"Did you see that?"
"Yeah I saw. I've got a bad feeling about that guy."
"What do you mean?"
"I don't know. I just got a weird "vibe" from him."
"Ah, come on. You'll have to get used to him, he'll be working with us from now on.
"You're right, but I'm still worried about the way he was looking at you though."
"It doesn't matter if he's looking," Sara teased, "cause I'm only looking at you."
She kissed his cheek. Nick smiled then kissed Sara. Brad came out of Grissom's office just as they parted. He tried to convince himself that they were just talking or whispering to each other, but he found it hard to believe himself.
For the next few days he found himself falling "head over heels" for Sara and he started to follow her. He watched her ever move, he was in heaven when he got to work a case with her, and eventually he learned her routine. Sara noticed this and started to get a little freaked out. She decided to tell Nick. She found in the break room, eating.
"Nick."
He looked up from his food he could tell she was worried.
"What?"
"Well I don't know if it's just me but, I think Brad's following me."
"Why would you think that?"
Sara looked over to Brad, who was sitting at another table across the room, staring at her, Nick followed her eye's and saw what she was getting at.
"I'm going to go." Nick pushed out his chair.
"Where?" Sara got up after him.
"Stay here I'm just going to scare him a little."
"Nick don't!" she grabbed his arm.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." He kissed her gently on the forehead, then walked over to Brad
"Brad can I see in private for a minute?"
"Sure." Brad followed Nick out to the hallway.
"What's up?"
"You know perfectly well what's up!"
"What are you talking about?"
"You, stalking Sara."
"What!? I'm not stalking Sara!"
"Oh really, then why did she just tell me that you have been?"
"Look, I'm just trying to get my courage up to ask her out." Brad started to walk back into the break room his eye's on Sara.
"I'm not finished with you yet." Brad slowly turned around.
"What?" He asked with a look on his face that said, "Sara's going to be mine." Nick got right in his face and said
" I don't think Sara's going to do anything with you...ever."
"Why not? Think she's to good for me?"
"Yes I do think she's to good for you, besides Sara's already taken."
"By who?" Brad asked, thinking Nick was lying.
"By me! And don't think that I don't notice the way you look at her, if you ever lay a finger on her, and mean EVER, I will go after you, then I will get you so bad that I'll be surprised if you ever walk again." Nick turned and went back to Sara leaving Brad in shock.
Later that day, Brad snuck up on Sara, as she got ready to leave. She spun around and jumped when she saw him.
"Brad, you scared me." she said hand on her heart.
"Sorry." His eyes began to "search" her
"That's alright." She said backing away from him. "Just don't sneak up behind me like that anymore."
"I need to ask you something." Brad stepped closer and closer to her as he spoke. He had a dazed look in his eyes. "Are you and Nick... seeing each other?"
"Um," her voice shook, "yes we are."
"Oh." He reached for her when Nick walked in.
"Sara are you ready..." He saw Brad cornering her. He ran over and pushed him away.
"What's going on here?" he asked when he felt Sara grab his hand
"Nick its okay." Sara whispered. Brad left the room and Nick turned to Sara who was still in the corner.
"Are you sure?' he asked softly, while caressing her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Yes I'm fine."
"Okay, but I still don't trust that guy."
Sara grabbed her purse.
"Come on lets go. We're going to miss our reservation."
"Alright." They walked out into the hall not noticing Brad who was leaning up against the wall by her office. As soon as they left, Brad silently went after them following them to the restaurant. As they ate, he sat in his car, planning.
*************************************************************
"So," Nick began "What was Brad doing in your office?"
"He asked me if we were seeing each other, it was a little uncomfortable
Because, he kept moving toward me."
"Yeah, I noticed." He took a sip of water.
"Ah, here comes our food."
Once they left the restaurant, Brad, once again followed them this time to Sara's apartment, a place Brad had always dreamed of being, he watched them from the corner as Nick got out of the car and opened the door for Sara. She leaned over and kissed him, she looked so happy with him, it made Brad angry, it made him wish that he could be the one with Sara. He felt like he would do anything just to kiss her, even once. He quietly got back in his car and watched them walk together, laughing along the way.
"Sorry to bother you but would you mind rounding everybody up? I'd like to tell them something, you to."
"Um, okay." she said looking curiously at him
"Great I'll be in my office."
