Nick studied Sara.  She was asleep in the break room, her head in the midst of file folders.  He didn't want to wake her, but knew that she would be better off at her apartment, in bed, even if it was just for a little while.

            "Sara."

            She woke up, startled.  "Nick?"

            "Hey, why don't you head home?  Warrick and I have things handled and I'll call if we know anything else."

            Too tired to argue, she nodded.  "Okay."

            He smiled.  "Let me walk you out."

            She rolled her eyes at him.  "I'm old enough to walk myself out."  She grumbled at him.  Despite his better judgment, he relented and let her go.

            Nick walked to the audio-visual room where he could tell Warrick was angry.  "What's wrong?"  He already knew, but he wasn't prepared for Warrick's answer.

            Warrick held up a tape. "Bastard."

            "From Catherine's apartment?"

            Warrick nodded.  "I was watching it to see if there was something we missed.  There's gotta be something we can use to catch him for what he did."  Nick nodded.  "Sara go home?"

            "Yeah.  She was asleep so I just sent her to get more rest."

            "What about Cath and Grissom?"

            "Nothing.  Maybe they're both getting some sleep."  He had already told Warrick about Catherine's nightmare.

            "I hope so.  MacCallister's running down the credit cards that were used to buy the equipment."

            "Credit cards?"

            "Yeah, none of the shops took checks so if he paid with cash, we might never find him."

            "Until he hurts someone else."  It was a fact that most rapists had more than one victim.

            Warrick turned to look at his friend.  "What?"

            Nick shook his head.  "I'm just feeling a little guilty, I guess.  Sara just left and she wouldn't let me walk her out."

            "God help anyone who tries to grab Sara."  Warrick tried to joke.

            "I guess.  It's just…she thinks she's so damned invincible sometimes.  I should have walked her out."

            "Why don't you go see if she left all right?  I'm about to call ADA Benson; fill her in."  Nick nodded and headed out.

            Sara felt more than a little creepy as she walked out to the parking lot alone.  She probably should have let Nick walk her out, but there was nothing she could do about it now.  She wasn't about to go back in and tell them that she was frightened; that would go over well with Warrick. She climbed into her Tahoe and locked the doors before she felt someone pull her into the backseat.

            Nick wasn't too worried when he saw her Tahoe still there.  It wouldn't have been the first time that she told someone she was going home and then fell asleep in the back of the SUV.  Still, something just didn't feel right with him.  Warrick came outside.

            "Grace wants to meet for breakfast."  It was a longstanding invitation between the attorney and the CSI for breakfast, but it very seldom actually happened.  "You want anything while I'm…" It dawned on him that there were three Tahoes there.  "She's still here."

            Nick nodded.  "Don't go too far."

            Warrick nodded and then they heard a yelp and a scream come from inside Sara's Tahoe.  Glass broke and Warrick used the hole to get off a shot while Nick used the spare key to get inside the SUV.

            "Sar?"  He pulled her out and looked her over.  "You okay?"

            She nodded while Warrick got in and checked the guy's pulse.  "He's alive."  He climbed back out and reached for his cell phone.  "I'm gonna call it in.  Is she okay?"

            Nick nodded, hugging Sara.  "What happened?"  He asked her.

            "I'm not sure.  He was in my Tahoe and he dragged me back there."

            "Did he hurt you?"

            She shook her head.  "I'm fine."

*****
            Grissom was just hanging up the phone when Catherine woke up again.  "What happened?"  She asked.

            "They caught him."

            "How?"

            He paused.  "He tried to hurt Sara too."

            Catherine's eyes grew wide, frightened.  "Is she okay?"

            "She's fine.  Nick said she got checked out at the hospital and they're both on their way over."

            "It's over."  Catherine said.  "It's all over." 

Grissom sat beside her and hugged her, knowing the truth.  She and Sara would both have to testify, would take months, but he knew one thing.  "It's okay.  Everything's okay."

Nick and Sara came in a few minutes later.  "Hey."  Sara greeted their friends.

"Are you okay?"  Catherine asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine.  He's not, but I am."  She grinned.

Nick grinned too and explained.  "She kicked him so that he won't hurt anyone, not for awhile."  Catherine tried to hide a smile as Grissom hugged her again and she finally did smile, safe at last.
