It was cold, she was cold. Nick removed his hand from Mandy's hand as he wished that she would wake up. He couldn't look at her without crying, he couldn't touch her without feeling like she was dying. Nick began to rub his eyes, which now he did without even realizing it. Once agin her rubbed his eyes and rubbed his stubbly face. Nick took a deep sigh then turned to see Jen and Conrad. Great, Nick thought. " Nick why don't you go home get some rest, will watch her now." Conrad said in a smooth but pushy way. Nick got defensive.

" You want me to leave my daughter?" He questioned. Conrad looked at him.

" She'll be my daughter too, so for your sake and her's just go." Nick got angry at what Conrad said.

" She'll never be your daughter." Nick left her room, pissed off. As he was heading toward the elevator her saw Jessica.

" Hey Nick." Nick smiled at her but didn't say anything. " Need a ride home?" Nick politely said no and decided to take the stairs. As he reached his car and got in, he sat for awhile, the turned on the ignition.



At the lab things were moving along slow. The CSIs were short a person and short one person but heavy on the cases. " We need Nick." Grissom said as he had two cases and one of those cases involved three personals. As Grissom was deciding on what to do, Nick entered the break room.

" Got any cases?" Nick asked. Everyone looked at him. No one expected him to be at work.

" Yeah we do." Catherine said.

" Well when can I start, who am I with?" Nick asked.

" Your working with Sara and Warrick on a triple homicide. Cath, you and I have a rape victim." Everyone nodded and headed off. On the way tho the crime scene no one said anything to Nick, it was silent. As the three of them approached the scene they were in for a shock.

" Triple homicide?" Nick questioned.

" Vega, I thought they said there was a triple homicide?" Sara, too was confused.

" Turns out these woman can't tell the difference between homicide and armed robbery." Vega replied.

" I don't get it?" Warrick said.

" Uh, they said homicide thinking it was another word for a crime committed." Vega replied. Nick sighed and rubbed his eyes again.



Catherine and Grissom approached the woman's house. The woman was a little shaken up but that's common in all rape victims. " Hi, I'm Catherine Williows and this Gil Grissom, can you tell us what happened and maybe who your attacker was?" Catherine asked. The lady looked at her, the toward Grissom who was getting the ALS machine.

" I work long nights and I mean long, long nights. I have a boss from hell and I can't get paid for sick leave, if I'm not there no cash. Anyway's this job helps me pay the bills so I can't quit it which leaves me no time for myself and this baby coming along. Anyhow, I come home and I want to sleep, my husband on the other hand wants to make love. Well I don't want to so what does he do, he comes on to me does his little thingy and leaves. No means no, no matter if it's a married relationship or a dating relationship. So the attacker was my husband." She said, now more angry then scared. " And I'm pregnant god forbid his little " I like it rough" scenario didn't hurt the baby." Catherine looked at her, then the woman's husband came in.

" Erin what the hell is this, cops surrounding the house?" He said angrily.

" John I said no, so I called them in." John got angry and lunged at her but Brass with a quick swift got a hold of him and put him in cuffs. " Looks like your going to jail. Great father you'll be." Erin left the room while Brass hauled the away.



Sara shrugged, she couldn't believe what happened. The girls first say it was a "homicide" then it turned out to be a robbery amongst themselves. Sara walked over to them. " You wouldn't have happened to, I don't know wanted to play an Insurance fraud would yeah?" She asked. The girls looked at her.

" We needed the money." One girl confessed as she took back her things. " We didn't thin k you were going to find it."



Nick entered Mandy's hospital room, this time cleaned up and shaved. Then he noticed a doctor, Jen and Conrad standing around her bed. " What's going on?" Nick asked.

" Conrad and I decided to take her off life support."
