They went threw the store and picked up lots of salad, fish, crackers and drinks galore. They went into Sara's apartment. Sara turned on the light, then turned to Nick, 'Don't mind the mess, haven't had much time to clean.' Sara went into her room and grabbed a small duffle bag and put some clothes into it and zipped it shut. She made her way back to the living room where Nick was sitting on her couch.


'Ready to go?' Nick kissed her.


'Yeah, there's a duffle bag in my room could you grab it for me?'


Nick nodded and came out with the bag. They went down the elevator back down to the Tahoe where there was a note with "Sara" written on it in old English hand writing. She took the note and opened it with shaking hands. Nick put the bag into the back of the Tahoe and saw her. He rushed over to her.


'You want me to read it to you?' Sara nodded and handed Nick the letter.


Sara,


Living with someone else now are you? To scared to find me? Don't worry I would never hurt you, only kill you. Figured out who I am yet? Check your email and you'll find something that might be useful.


Love ZW


Nick looked over at Sara and held her. 'We should give this letter to Gris, and then check your email at the lab and have them trace the email. OK?' Sara nodded and hung onto her tears making them not fall. 'You ready?'


'Yeah,' Nick helped her into the Tahoe then drove to the lab. Nick speeded his way to the lab holding Sara's hand squeezing it every so often for comfort. Sara's was biting down onto her bottom lip, holding her back from crying, or screaming. They reached the lab and went into Grissom's office, he was sitting behind his desk with papers in front of him.


'Nick, Sara what brings you two here? I told you that you didn't have to work for a while.' Grissom said taking off his glasses and looking at them.


'He left a note on Sara's Tahoe today while we were getting some stuff from her apartment.' Nick explained.


'You have the letter?' Nick handed him the letter in the envelope. 'Just you two touched it.'


'Yes, and it said of Sara to check her email to find something that would be useful.'


'OK give this to Greg and then go check the email, print out a copy and then leave it open so that we can trace it.' Nick nodded and they left Grissom's office to give the letter to Greg.


'Hey what are you two doing here?' Greg asked taking his head phones off.


'Run this and rule out mine and Sara's prints and page Grissom when your done.' Nick and Sara left making there way other to the computer. Sara signed into her email account on yahoo. Whit only one message witch it was sent from herself.


'Got into my email account too.' Sara said opening up the letter and finding pictures. There was pictures of Sara at work, Sara sleeping at her house, Sara driving, Sara and Nick in the car accident surrounded by the paramedics, Sara in the hospital, Sara kissing Nick, Sara making out with Nick, Sara sleeping in Nick's bed with Nick's arm around her. At the bottom it was signed ZW.


'How did he-' Started talking angry that someone took pictures of her, and him for that matter.


'He's following me around.' Sara sank back down into her chair when another email came. She opened it and it was too from herself. There was a picture of a man in all black not showing his face, only pale white skin, black clothing and piercing green eyes staring back at her. 'I think I'm going to be sick.' Sara got her crutches and turned to the trash can and puked up her breakfast. 'That is disgusting.' She fell down onto the ground and leaned back onto the wall, and couldn't stop her tears this time.


'Yeah, that guy is creepy.' Nick held came down from his chair and held her.


'No I'm talking about my puke, it's disgusting.' She laughed whipping her tears with her sleeve, 'But that guy, that guy is the same one from my dreams.' She said pointing at the screen. Nick turned the computer screen off so she wouldn't have to look at it.


'Come on were leaving now.' Nick picked Sara back up onto her feet (or foot rather) and gave her, her crutches. Nick picked up his cell phone and called Grissom, 'Gris *pause* Yeah alright I'm going home with her now. Call me if you find anything.' Nick hung his phone up and went back to the Tahoe and drove to the toy store.


'I thought we were going back to your house.' Sara said confused.


'I'm getting you a stuffed animal, come on.' Nick got out of the car and helped Sara put. They went threw the stuffed animals and Nick picked out the perfect animal. Nick grabbed a brown teddy bear with blue eyes and a blue bow tie around it's neck. It was the perfect size, not to big that it got in the way but not to small so that you couldn't cuddle with it. Nick payed for it then gave it to her. 'Here, I want you to have this.'


Sara took the stuffed animal in the car and put it onto her lap, 'You didn't have to buy him for me.'




'Yes I do. You need something to hold when I'm not going to be at your side when I'm taking a shower or something. I did tell you that I would always be with you.' Sara wrapped her arms around him.


'Thank you.' Sara sat back down in the seat holding the bear, and Nick drove back to his house.


Nick took Sara's duffle bag from the back and dropped it in his room. Sara was sitting on the couch with the bear hugging him.

'Think I could get some of that?' Nick asked sitting down besides her.


Sara put the bear on the other side of her, then kissed Nick.. Nick cupped her face with his hands as there tongues played a sensational dance. Then Nick's cell phone went off. 'Dam.' Nick picked up the phone, 'Stokes. *pause* shit *pause* alright *pause* when? *pause* ok I'll tell her, bye.' Nick hung up his phone then ran his fingers threw his hair.


'What's wrong?' Sara asked confused.


'The guys name is Zack White. Grissom thinks that he's going to be coming over here so Brass will be having about a dozen officers around the house until his guy is found.'


Sara bit down on her bottom lip, 'There goes our privacy.'


'You never had any with his guy following you around anyways Sara. But these people are here to keep him away remember that.' Nick held her close.


'I will. But what if-' Nick kissed her before she could say anymore.


'He won't.' Nick felt her relax in his arms.
