A/N: I'm a bit out of my element with this one...so I'm sorry if it stinks.

You found him at the Mirage, standing in front of the blackjack table. Not playing, just standing, watching as the dealer laid the cards out on the table.
"Warrick...don't." You say coming up behind him, laying your hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle, reassuring squeeze.
"That suspect... Catherine needed me. I should have been there... For Cath, For Nick...For Holly."
Your hand moves down his arm until it meets his, your fingers entwining around his fist.
"Should have, could have... It's crazy to think like that."
Warrick shrugs and turns to leave. "I know. But I can't help it."
You can't help but feel like you've let him down. Like your words meant nothing to him.
You don't see him smile as he walks away.
You don't hear him whisper, 'Thank You, Sara.'
-- Fin.
