Chapter 2—Grissom's office
"Hey Grissom, uh I have to leave for a while."
"Umm..may I ask why?" Grissom was staring out his window down at the parking lot where he saw Catherine pacing in front of Nick's truck.
"Well Cath isn't feeling to well, so I offered to drive her home, you know, to make sure she gets home allright." Nick was only standing 2 ft. into Grissom's office. Quick entrance, quick exit he thought.
"Uh sure, take a few hours, make sure she gets home safe and call me and let me know how she is doing." Grissom never took his eyes off Catherine.
"Yea sure, I'll uh see you later." And with that Nick bolted for the door, and headed for the parking lot

"So what did Griss say?" Catherine asked as she climbed into the passenger side of Nick's truck.
"He said to make sure you got home safely, and to call him in a few hours to let him know how you were doing."
"Oh ok…well let's go."
The ride to Catherine's house was made in silence. Catherine leaned her seat back, and fell asleep.
About 20 minutes later Nick pulled into her driveway. She looks so at ease, no worries Nick carefully reached into Catherine's coat pocket and pulled out her keys. He ran up to the house and opened the door. He came back to the truck, and as carefully as he could he carried Catherine into her house. She didn't even flinch as he carried her through the house looking for the right room. Finally he found it. He laid her down on her bed. God she sleeps like a rock he thought. AS carefully as he could her removed her jacket and boots. Covered her with a blanket, and pushed a stray lock of hair behind her ear. Quietly he left her to her slumber and went to the couch in the living room, where he to soon found sleep.

Catherine woke up to the comfort of her own bed. "How the hell did I get here? And where did Nick go?" She asked herself. She went downstairs to the living room where she found Nick sound asleep on only half the couch. Feeling still a bit tired herself, she seized then opportunity and climbed onto the couch and situated herself comfortably against him. Unconciously he wrapped an arm around her small waist. She smiled and once again fell into a deep slumber.
