Nick and Sara returned to the scene about a half an hour after they had left bearing a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts and coffee for the rest of the team. When they pulled into the parking lot, Grissom, Warrick, and Catherine were standing in front of Grissom's Tahoe discussing the case.

Warrick noted the distinct donut box first, "Nick, if you were a girl, I'd kiss you." He grabbed for the box, setting it on the hood of the Tahoe.

Sara handed out the coffees and commented, "I'm glad he's not." She winked at Nick and he chuckled in return.

Catherine raised an eyebrow and smirked at Nick and Sara, "So, Sara, how was Nicky's guest room?"

Sara tried to restrain a grin, "It was just fine, Catherine." A faint blush crept into her cheeks.

Catherine took a sip of her coffee taking note of the slight color change in Sara's face, "That's great, Sara. Be sure to let us know if you get tired of Nick's hospitality."

The double meaning of her comment was not lost on the rest of the group.

Nick looked at Catherine and grinned, "Catherine Willows, you are an evil woman."

Catherine gave him an innocent expression, "I don't know what you're talking about Nick."

Warrick chuckled. Grissom just cleared his throat, "Can we get back to the investigation?"

Catherine leveled at gaze at Grissom, "Grissom, we're on a break. By definition, it means we're taking a break from work."

Nick cleared his throat, raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Catherine, "For the record, Sara slept in my guest room." He purposely left out the details of Sara's nightmare and her joining him in his room to sleep.

Catherine took another sip of her coffee, "And where did you sleep, Nicky?"

Sara tried to stifle a chuckle.

Nick continued to look at Catherine, "In my bedroom." He took a bite out of his donut.

Warrick was amused by the conversation and he silently chuckled at the banter between Nick and Catherine as he ate his third donut. He knew his friend well enough to know he wasn't telling the whole story, but he didn't want to endure the wrath of Sara by calling Nick on it in front of everyone.

"Guys," Sara interjected, "Grissom's right. Let's get back to the case."

"Warrick and Catherine, I want you to stay here and continue processing the scene. Nick and Sara I want you to meet me back at the lab. Sara, I'm going to need you to identify where the pictures from Keith McCormick's apartment were taken." Grissom assigned.

The group finished up the last of their coffee and donuts and headed off in their assigned directions. Grissom drove off toward the lab, evidence bagged and in the rear of the vehicle.

Nick walked toward his Tahoe, expecting Sara to follow. He turned and looked at her curiously, "You coming, Sara?"

She smiled and shook her head as she replied, "I'm going to drive my Tahoe back to the lab. I'll meet you there."

"Ok." Nick smiled and climbed into his Tahoe, expecting Sara to follow as he headed back to the lab.

He stood in the parking lot for ten minutes waiting for Sara to show up when he began to get worried. He pulled out his cell phone and began to punch in her number. After a couple of rings, she picked up. "Hey, Sar. Where are you at? I was getting a little worried." Nick explained. He chuckled as she explained that she stopped at the store to pick up a tooth brush and some other personal items since she couldn't take anything out of her apartment. "Ok, I'll see you when you get here. I'm sorry. I guess I am a little bit of a worrier."

He punched the end button on the phone and headed into the lab. A short time later, Sara pulled in and went in search of him and Grissom to begin the arduous task of identifying the photos and putting together a possible timeline.
