Hello again everyone! Thanks to who told me how to get anonymous reviews!
It's that time again another chapter. I'd just like to thank all of you who
reviewed; it makes my day to see the nice comments you write. Well enough
about me, here goes chapter 8.
They slept for hours upon hours. A rare novelty these days. The nurse came in to wake them in the morning opening the blinds to fill the room with a beautiful orange and yellow glow.
Breakfast was served to them and then sat chatting for a while. That was until Brass came in.
His face was grim and you could tell he hadn't had a nights sleep.
"I've got some news to tell you."
Sara gasped. What if it was Chad and he wasn't dead? Her stomach wrenched with the images her mind displayed from the night before. She shuddered, close to tears she looked directly at Brass.
"Come on Brass tell us,"
"Well, We've been working all night and ."
"And what??"
Nick was squeezing Sara's hand subconsciously. She squeezed back and stroked his thumb soothingly.
"And.. We've just recovered Chad from your house. The bodies down at the morgue and now your house is clear of that scumbag."
They both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brass you scared us! Don't do that! You looked so grim and well awful. Have you slept?"
"Didn't I just say we've been working all night? Anyway I like to keep you on your toes."
Nick and Sara looked at each other and smiled. It was over. The looked back at Brass.
"But really man," Nick uttered, "that was just plain cruel! You trying to kill us.?"
Sara looked across at the muscular Texan and lifted her eyebrow.
"Bad joke," she muttered.
"Anyway the team and I thought that we'd give you a little surprise and after Grissom pulled a few strings the hospital decided to let you have it."
"What's the surprise?"
"Well Nick," Brass looked towards the door, "Come on in guys!"
With that the room flooded with team, Warrick and Greg carrying in a heavy box and Catherine and Grissom sauntering coolly just behind. Grissom was carrying a bouquet of flowers and Nick gathered that they weren't for him. He smiled at Sara and winked. He knew what she was thinking but hey it was just weird seeing Grissom holding something other than a piece of evidence.
Warrick and Greg placed the box on a table on the other side of the room with a pronounced thud and stepped away; inane grins on their faces.
Catherine stepped over to the box and turned around to face Nick and Sara.
"Well, you see we thought you'd get bored here in the hospital with nothing to do but talk to each other so we brought something from your house Nick to pass the time."
As Catherine fiddled with the box, Grissom steeped over and gave Sara the flowers. He kissed her on the forehead and although Nick knew he wasn't meant to, he noticed the note hidden in the bouquet.
"Now Nick I couldn't have you feeling left out so I brought you a little present too."
He handed Nick a Gameboy advance and smiled at the younger man.
"Gee thanks Grissom!" Nick slowly extended his hand and shook with as much strength as he had but he was pretty drained at the moment.
"And now for the final unveiling," Catherine stepped away from where the box had been and revealed Nick's CD player. He laughed.
"What you laughing at Nick?" Sara asked quizzically.
"Did you bring any other CD's with the CD player?" Nick asked.
"Ummm no we just presumed there'd be some in there," Catherine answered.
"Oh there's CD's in there alright. My favourite Dolly Parton, Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. I also have a Reba Mcentire tape in there." He giggled again.
"Oh no," Sara laughed. "Not country music."
"You'll learn to love it."
"Want a bet?"
Nick laughed again. The chatter between the 7 friends continued for quite some time until the nurse told the team that Sara and Nick needed their rest. And come to mention it Nick didn't mind the nurse popping in and out at all, in fact he wished she'd do it more often and from the winks he was getting he was getting the feeling the nurse liked him too. Being shot in the leg wasn't so bad at all.
The CD player was good for a while but Sara can only take so much country music before she starts getting cranky and she'd reached that point. So he tried another approach.
"So you going to read the note Grissom gave you?"
"Not yet."
"And why not?"
"Cos I don't know what it'll say."
"I don't know if you've heard of this concept in Vegas but back down South we find out what's in letters by opening them."
Sara glared at him. "There's a thing I know called homicide, don't know if you've heard about that concept?"
"Whoa calm down Sara, Just open it already."
Sara reached over to the flowers on the bedside table next to her and picked out the note. She smiled at the note.
"What does it say?" Nick asked eager to know what saucy stuff the Boss had put in the note.
"It says."
He he he I know it's another cliff-hanger (of sorts!) but at least it's a nice one this time. Please review. Good and Bad feedback welcome as always.
