The team assembled at the diner down the street to celebrate the break in
the Vargas case. Grissom made sure to let Greg know that his contribution
and independent thinking had, in large part, made this possible. Catherine
had let the rest of the group know that she had smoothed things out with
Nick and Sara. With a nod of his head toward Nick, Warrick and he were
back on firm ground. Grissom just let things slide, and Greg, well, he was
just Greg.
After the team returned to the lab, they went their separate ways. Grissom returned to his office for a meeting with Brass. Catherine went back in to wrap up some paperwork. Greg went home. Warrick mentioned something about heading out to the juvenile detention facility to check up on a young man he'd taken under his wing. Nick lingered by Sara's Tahoe, "So, Sara. Tomorrow's Saturday."
"You're very observant, Nick. You'd make a great CSI." Sara teased.
Nick grinned, "Actually, I'm already a great CSI according to the great Sara Sidle."
She laughed as she leaned against the SUV, arms crossed in front of her.
"How bout I pick you up about 6:00 tomorrow night." Nick suggested.
Sara had a coy expression on her face, "Where are you taking me?"
Nick leaned in toward her and winked, "Ah, that would take away the element of surprise."
Sara cocked her head with a smile playing at the corners of her mouth, "What should I wear?"
Nick leaned in and kissed her on the cheek and whispered in her ear, "A dress."
Sara eyebrows raised in surprise, "Ok."
Nick stepped back and grinned at her, "See you later, I've got to go in and grab some stuff out of my locker."
Sara waved, "Ok." She got in her Tahoe and drove toward home feeling a bit panicked. A dress? Sara didn't own too many of those. She was going to have to take stock of her closet and see what she had.
Nick headed back into the lab and made his way to the locker room. Catherine was gathering her things as he walked in. "Hey, Nicky."
"Cath." Nick replied opening his locker.
"So, if you don't mind me asking, where are you taking Sara on your date tomorrow?" Catherine smiled at the younger CSI.
He grinned, "It's a surprise."
"Did you tell her what to wear?" Catherine raised an eyebrow at him.
He nodded, "A dress."
Catherine chuckled, "Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to get a panicked phone call from Sara later?"
Nick looked a bit perplexed.
Smiling Catherine continued, "Nick, when was the last time you saw Sara wear a dress?"
He looked sheepish.
"My point exactly. Maybe I'll call her and we'll go shopping." Catherine suggested with a wry grin on her face. Seconds later, her cell phone rang. As she answered the phone, she gave Nick a knowing glance, "Willows. Hi, Sara."
Nick grinned.
"No. She's still at my sister's. Why? Oh, really. Hmm. Do you have to ask me twice?" Catherine chuckled. "Ok, I'll meet you at your apartment. We'll find something that'll make Nicky's jaw drop. Alright. Bye." Catherine grinned at Nick.
Nick had a little color in his cheeks, "You know I'm not going to get any sleep now."
Catherine laughed at him. "I'm going to meet Sara. I'll see you later, Nick."
