(Flashback)
Nick was sitting on the high chair in the club; he was talking to the owner who was his friend for a long time.
"So how's business?" asked Nick.
"Fine I guess", said Thomas.
"That's good, how's business in your personal life?" Nick smiled; he could guess Thom's answer.
"None, kind of boring you know, what about you?"
"The same man, the same" they both smiled.
**********
May, Julie and Laura went into the club.
"I'm so glad I can finally get away from my parents and Ben", said May.
"Why won't you just move here, I mean you hate living with your parents in that little boring town", said Julie and smiled.
"I know but it's easier for me, I don't pay rent" May said and set next to the table.
"You can come live with us", said Laura "you can stay for free till you find a job, you'll be far from your parents, far from Ben".
"I have a long time to think about it, tonight and my trip", said May.
"Are you leaving tonight?" asked Julie.
"Yep, a whole trip all alone", May smiled.
"Since it's our last night together before you go", said Laura "lets go dance".
"No way!" said May "I am not dancing".
"May!" Julie and Laura said together.
"You go dance, I'll be fine", said May.
"You sure?" asked Julie.
"Yeah, go have fun! It's not like I'm not coming back from the trip".
"OK but…" Laura said but May didn't let her finish
"Go!" said May. Julie and Laura went to the dance floor leaving May alone.
She looked at them; they found some guys to dance with and looked kind of happy. May didn't like dancing, not when people looked anyway.
She looked around, she didn't see anybody who was alone, and nobody caught her eye too, well, except one person…
**********
"Don't you meat people in here?" asked Nick.
"They don't always come alone and anyway, I have to take care of things all of the time, you know me I always have the feeling something is wrong", Nick smiled.
"I'm a…what's the name?" asked Thomas.
"Perfectionist", Nick smiled.
"Yeah, I hate it but well what can I do". Nick smiled again he looked around. There was always someone special and interesting in the club but as Thomas said, they almost always came with somebody. But that wasn't the situation on that night, no one special, well, except one person.
**********
Nick's and May's eyes met.
(End of flashback, back to the "real world")
"Is she dead?" Nick asked again, ready to hear Grissom saying that she's gone.
"No" said Grissom, Nick was surprised "she's not dead but her situation is not getting any better".
"I see", said Nick. They were quiet for few seconds.
"It's not getting worse", said Grissom, he looked at Nick's face, he hoped to see a change it his expressions "no change at all". Nick nodded, he had nothing to say, he wanted to be at the hospital with May but it wouldn't help not her and not him.
Somebody knocked on the door.
"Yes", said Grissom and Sara entered the room.
"Grissom I have…" Sara saw Nick "hey Nick" she smiled.
"Hey", he said, he knew that Sara has news about the investigation he also knew they don't want him to stay there. "I'll go outside" Nick left.
"Well?" asked Grissom.
"The rape kit…she wasn't raped" said Sara.
"OK, anything else?"
"No, how's Nick?"
"I don't know he's acting strange but well"
"Yeah" Sara nodded.
"He's having a hard time she's his wife".
"Wife…" Sara looked at the door "did he tell you why?"
"No, I didn't ask and it's not our business"
"I know said Sara "but still I just…"
"Just concentrate on the case".
"I am", said Sara "I'll go see if Greg had any luck with the DNA under her nails", she went out of the office, Nick was still there.
"Bye Nick", she said.
"Wait Sara" he said and went to her "is she OK? Is she awake?"
"No change I'm sorry", Sara didn't look at him "why did you…I know it's not my business but…"
"I don't know Sara I really don't know, I thought about it and I have no idea why it just happened".
Sara smiled to him "I hope she'll be OK" Sara went to the DNA lab.
"I hope so too", he touched his wedding ring "I hope so too".
