Sara was sipping coffee in the break room when Catherine walked in. Catherine raised an eyebrow in concern, "How are you feeling, Sara?" "Oh, I'll be fine. You know how cramps are." Sara replied, taking another sip of coffee and trying to act natural, but feeling anything but since Catherine had been so close to discovering her and Nick's secret just a few minutes before.

Catherine pulled a small bottle out of her purse and handed it to Sara, "Well, these work like a wonder when I have cramps. Why don't you just hold onto them? I have another bottle at home."

Sara picked up the PMS formula and tucked it in her pocket, "Thanks, Cath."

"Are they guys here yet?" Catherine inquired pouring herself a cup of coffee.

Sara put her cup down on the counter, "I'm assuming Greg is here because the coffee actually tastes good. I don't know about the others."

"Well Grissom's probably here, since he practically lives here." Catherine said with a wry smile.

Grissom walked into the break room, "Hello, Catherine. Hello, Sara. Is the rest of the team here yet?"

Catherine shook her head, "I don't think so, unless Nick and Warrick are in the locker room."

Grissom had just finished pouring himself a cup of coffee when Nick and Warrick walked in intently discussing the merits of the latest PlayStation game.

Grissom raised an eyebrow at the pair, "If you two are done talking about video games, I'd like to give out assignments."

Warrick just nodded and sat down at the table in the center of the room. Nick gave Grissom a sheepish grin and poured himself a cup of coffee, standing between Sara and Catherine as he leaned against the counter.

Grissom began handing out assignments. Sara didn't hear a word he said. Standing that close to Nick and not touching him was sheer torture for Sara. Nick tried to act natural. Sara looked over at him and shot him a glare. He was acting too natural. He shot her an innocent look. A smile played at the edge of his lips as he took a sip of his coffee.

Grissom was talking, Sara thought she should try and concentrate on what he was saying. Grissom looked at her with an expectant look. Sara was at a loss for what he said, "What did you say, Gris?"

Nick turned to her, "You should get your ears checked, Sidle. You, me, and Warrick have a db in an ally near the Strip. Possible gang connection."

Sara looked over at Nick who wore a smug look on his face, "Uh, thanks, Nick."

As the team made their way out of the break room, Grissom stopped Sara, "You ok, Sara? Catherine said you weren't feeling good earlier."

Sara shot Catherine a look, "Uh, I'm fine, Grissom. It's a girl thing."

Grissom looked slightly embarrassed, "Ok, then. I just wanted to make sure; it's not like you to be sick."

Catherine rolled her eyes at Grissom as they left the break room.

Sara headed to the locker room where she knew she'd find Nick and Warrick gathering their gear. As she walked over to her locker, she threw Nick a mischievous glare, "You're going to pay for the hearing comment later, Stokes."

"I'm just looking out for your wellbeing there, Sidle." Nick threw back with a glint in his eye.

Warrick chuckled, "You were somewhere else in there, Sara?"

Sara looked over at Warrick, "I'm driving." She picked up her kit and walked out into the parking lot to wait for the other two CSIs. As she walked, she thought of all the possibilities of how she could make Nick pay for his comment, and all the places they could make the transaction. A smile played at her lips. If anyone knew their secret, they'd be shocked.

Nick and Warrick joined her a few minutes later. They headed toward the Strip and the db that awaited them in an ally nearby.
