Nick had finally warmed up after drinking a cup of coffee. Truth be told he was warm as soon as he had walked into the break room and seen Sara. So much for taking a cold shower. A smile tugged at his lips at the thoughts going through his head. He couldn't wait until shift was over. He, Sara, and Warrick were in one of the layout rooms going over the evidence they had collected in the alley. "Nick!" Warrick said for the third time.

Nick's head finally turned toward his friend and colleague, "What?" Nick had a lost expression on his face.

"I've tried getting your attention for the last couple of minutes; maybe you should get your hearing checked." Warrick concluded.

Nick looked over at Sara for a moment. She stood over by Warrick and had apparently caught everything he said. A faint smile tugged at her mouth, and she raised an eyebrow slightly. Nick looked back at Warrick, "Sorry, man, I was just concentrating. What do you have?"

Warrick motioned to the scope he was looking through, "The glass you found comes from a high end Mercedes."

Nick raised his eyebrows, "You know if you lose a key to one of those you practically have to sign over your first born to get a replacement."

Warrick nodded, "Yeah, I know. They keep extremely detailed records. I'm gonna call Vega and see if we can get a warrant to find out who owns one in Vegas."

"Have we gotten a match on the tire treads we found?" Sara inquired.

Nick shook his head, "Still waiting for film to develop so we can do a comparison."

"We might be able to narrow it down further once we've got that," Warrick commented.

"You know, I don't think this is gang related at all. At least not street gangs." Sara observed.

"Mob?" Nick asked looking at her curiously.

"I don't know. But it's definitely not your typical gang shooting." Sara replied.

"Well I'm going to go see if I can get that warrant." Warrick commented as he left the layout room.

Sara looked over at Nick and smirked at him, "So, how did that cold shower work out for you?"

He looked up at her and let his guarded expression slip for a moment, "Sara, I don't know how much longer we can do this." It was evident by his expression that he'd like to kiss her senseless right there if he could.

Sara grinned at him, her eyes caressing his face, "I know, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe we should talk about it later."

Nick nodded, grinning at her, "Yeah, we should."

They both turned back to what they were working on as they heard Warrick coming back into the layout room. Sara turned toward the door and asked, "Did you get the warrant?"

Warrick shook his head, "Vega doesn't want to wake the judge on this one. We should have it by next shift though." Warrick smiled, "Hey, at least we won't have to pull a double though. Do you guys want to grab breakfast after shift?"

Nick looked at his watch, "You mean in twenty minutes, War?" He grinned at his friend.

Warrick chuckled, "I guess I lost track of time."

Sara smiled at the two men, "Hey, you guys go. I've got to run some errands before I go home, and I'm really tired. I need to go to bed early."

"Ok, Sara." Warrick replied, "What about you, Nick? You in?"

Nick nodded, "Yeah, I've got time for a quick bite."

The trio wrapped up what they were working on and headed out to the parking lot. Sara climbed into her Tahoe and waved at the guys as she headed home. Nick and Warrick headed off to the diner.

The two CSIs sat at the table chatting about football and video games, when Warrick changed the topic, "You need to get yourself a woman, Nick. You've been acting a little too distracted lately."

Nick tried to suppress a grin, "I'll let you know when I find the right woman, Warrick. I'm done with the party scene."

"Why don't you let Catherine set you up?" Warrick took a bite of his food.

Nick shook his head, "No offense, but I haven't had very good luck with blind dates." Nick was almost done with his meal.

Warrick chuckled, "Just think about it, man. There's a new girl in evidence who seems to be eyeing you. You need a woman." Warrick finished up the rest of his food and they paid the check.

Warrick dropped Nick off at the lab and Nick got in his Tahoe and drove home. He smiled as he opened the door; he knew what he'd find. He put his keys down on the table by the phone. He walked down the hallway and opened the door to his bedroom. There lay Sara on top of the comforter curled up with a pillow in her arms. Her even breathing indicated that she was asleep. He kicked off his shoes and crawled onto the bed and lay next to Sara, putting his arms around her. He smiled as her eyes fluttered open and a smile radiated across her face.

"Hey, sleepyhead," Nick kissed her on the forehead.

"I was really tired." Sara replied with a grin.

"Are you still tired?" Nick asked softly, with genuine concern.

Sara reached over and traced his lips with her fingers, "I'll never be tired of you."

Nick grinned looking into her eyes, "Oh, Sara, I love you so much."

Sara snuggled into his arms, tossing the pillow off the bed, "I love you too, Nick."

"Do you think we should tell them?" Nick queried.

Sara looked into his eyes, "We told your parents. That seemed to go pretty well."

Nick chuckled, "Yeah, it did, didn't it?"

"Grissom is going to kill us. Of course, Catherine or Warrick might too." Sara sighed.

Nick leaned his forehead against hers and rested his hand on her hip, "Greg is going to be devastated, he's in love with you, you know."

Sara giggled, "David is too."

Nick chuckled and rolled onto his back, pulling Sara with him, so she rested on his chest. Sara propped herself up on his chest, "I think we should tell them. I don't know how much longer I can handle this."

Nick put his arms around her waist, "Tonight then?"

Sara nodded and grinned, "Yeah, tonight."

Sara leaned down and kissed Nick passionately. A slow removal of clothing followed. They made love slowly and fell asleep with their bodies tangled together.
