Warrick sat in the break room well before shift was set to begin. He was drinking a cup of coffee when Nick walked in with a dopey grin on his face. Warrick chuckled, "I take it, you took my advice."

Nick couldn't hide his smile as he poured himself a cup of coffee, "Oh, yeah."

Warrick laughed, "I take it she said yes."

Nick raised an eyebrow still grinning, "In a manner of speaking."

Warrick did his best to put a serious expression on his face, "You do realize that you can't make out at crime scenes."

Nick looked over at Warrick who was trying to suppress a laugh, "Very funny, man." He took his cup of coffee and joined Warrick at the table. Nick leveled a serious gaze at Warrick, "I'd appreciate it if you kept this to yourself for the time being."

Warrick replied between sips of coffee, "You're gonna have a hard time hiding it. You do work with some of the best investigators in the country you know, not to mention that Catherine has the extra advantage of built in mom-radar."

"She's gonna be a tough one." Nick laughed.

Just then, Catherine walked in. "Who's going to be a tough one, Nicky?" She walked over to get herself a cup of coffee.

"Guy talk, Catherine," Nick replied hastily, turning a little pink.

Catherine raised an eyebrow, "Right." She took a sip of coffee, here eyes not leaving Nick who appeared to be squirming a bit. She joined them at the table, "You know I'm going to find out, so you might as well tell me, Nick."

Warrick just laughed. Catherine looked over at him, "I know I can get it out of you, Warrick."

"Wild horses couldn't get it out of me, Catherine." Warrick replied confidently.

"Don't underestimate the power of a mom." Catherine winked.

Nick just laughed at the exchange.

As the banter died down, Sara walked in, "Hey, guys."

"Hey, Sara." Warrick greeted casually.

"Hi, Sara." Catherine acknowledged between sips of coffee.

A wide grin broke out over Nick's face, "Hey, Sar."

An equally wide grin broke out over Sara's as she looked at Nick.

Catherine was slightly dumbstruck at this exchange, then a wide knowing smile took over. She glanced over at Warrick who was wearing a bemused smile as he looked over at Nick and Sara, who didn't seem to notice that they were being watched by the other two.

"I forgot, I need to get something out of my locker. I'll be right back," Sara said abruptly and then turned and left the break room.

Nick had finished his coffee, he got up and put the cup in the sink and headed toward the door. He quickly turned around and in explanation said, "I need to go talk to Greg about something."

Catherine looked over at Warrick with a incredulous expression, "Who do they think they're kidding? When did this happen?"

Warrick just laughed, "I think it just happened the last couple of days. Too bad our suspects aren't as obvious as those two. We'd have all our crimes solved in record time."

"Yeah." Catherine was still amazed.

After Sara had left the break room, she went to the locker room, and as expected, Nick followed her. She smiled at him as he entered. He raised and eyebrow as he approached her, "Are we alone?"

"Yeah." Sara grinned, leaning up against the bay of lockers.

Nick was just inches from her now. "Hello." He smiled and slid his arms around her waist.

"Hello, yourself," She slid her arms up his chest and around his neck.

They looked into each others eyes for a moment before Nick leaned in to kiss Sara. As their lips touched, Nick's arms pulled Sara closer to him. She smiled into the kiss, her lips parting slightly. Nick's tongue sought entry and it began a slow sensuous dance with Sara's, as his body pressed her up against the bay of lockers.

The door to the locker room creaked and Nick and Sara jumped apart, trying to act natural. As Greg walked in he greeted them, "Hey, Nick. Hey, Sara."

Sara smiled, with a hint of pink in her cheeks, "Hey, Greggo." She quickly excused herself, "I've got to go check on something with Warrick, I'll see you guys later."

Nick also excused himself, "Yeah, I need to go get something I forgot out of my Tahoe. I'll see you in the break room, Greg."

Greg noticed that Nick and Sara were acting a bit strange, and wondered silently to himself if he'd forgotten to brush his teeth or something.

Catherine and Warrick were still sitting in the break room when Sara returned. Catherine looked at Sara curiously, "So did you get what you needed out of your locker, Sara?"

"Uh, yeah." Sara poured herself a cup of coffee and joined Warrick and Catherine at the table.

Nick walked back in a few moments later, and returned to where he had been seated before.

"Nick, did you find Greg?" Catherine asked innocently.

"Uh, yeah, I did, thanks." Nick replied

Just then, Greg joined them in the break room. "Hey, everyone."

Smiles greeted him, and he joined them at the table. Catherine briefed them all that Grissom would be out for a few days because he had a family emergency. When asked about it, she told them they'd have to ask Grissom about it when he got back.

She began handing out assignments, "Warrick I want you and Sara to follow up on that hit and run. Get with Brass and see if he's located the driver yet. Nick, you're with me. We need to do some follow up from the bank heist. Greg, glad to have you back. I'm not sure what we'll have for you, but I'll keep you posted. Ok, let's go."

Warrick and Sara left the break room, Nick and Sara exchanging glances. Greg returned to the temporary DNA lab.

As Catherine and Nick walked toward the door of the break room, Catherine stopped him, "Hey, Nick?"

Nick turned around, "Yeah, Cath?"

"I've got a little fashion advice for you." She arched an eyebrow and gave him a knowing look.

He looked a bit perplexed, he thought his clothing choice that day was good, he'd spent extra time picking it out so he'd look good for Sara.

Catherine continued, "That lipstick, it's not really your color." She winked at him and walked out of the room, leaving Nick standing there with his hands on his hips, an embarrassed grin on his face.
