Warrick owned the club with a few of his friends. They tried to showcase
new music talent and occasionally, Warrick would come and play as well.
Today, however, Warrick just wanted his friends and colleagues to have a
good time. Especially Sara. He and Nick had a fond place in their hearts
for her.
After a rocky start when Sara was brought on board specifically to investigate Warrick, the three younger CSIs had become fast friends and often went out and did things together. They didn't seem to do that much these days. Ever since Sara's relationship with Hank had ended badly and the lab explosion, Sara had sort of insulated herself from everyone and had plunged herself into work. They thought it was about time to pull her out of it. They didn't want her turning into another Grissom. One was more than enough for any forensics lab. Besides, whether he wanted to admit it or not, Warrick knew Nick had a thing for Sara. Of course, if he was honest, he had a thing for Catherine, but no one knew that, at least he didn't think so.
Warrick sat at a table observing his friends.
Grissom looked uncomfortable. That didn't surprise Warrick. He didn't get out much. After about an hour, Grissom left, saying something about needing to check on some maggots for a case he was working on. Warrick chuckled, they didn't call him bugman for nothing.
Greg and Archie were having a great time. They had brought a couple of the interns that worked in the evidence vault during the night shift and they were dancing up a storm. Warrick chuckled. Those two could always find fun, they couldn't seem to keep a girl very long, but they could always find fun.
He glanced over at Catherine and smiled. Catherine was talking to Sara and they were laughing. It was nice to see them get along so well. There was a time after Eddie's death when they didn't. Catherine held Sara responsible in her mind for not being able to charge the suspects in the case with murder. He was glad that it seemed to be water under the bridge at this point.
Bobby the ballistics guy had gone home after shift and had returned with his wife. They seemed to be having a great time. Bobby was a good guy and everyone genuinely like him. Not like Hodges who grated on everyone. He didn't even bother to show up even under the pretense of being polite. Not that anyone really cared or noticed.
Jaqui was another favorite of the night shift crew. She could pull prints off of just about anything given enough time. More than a few times she had pulled through with just what they needed to file charges and make an arrest. She was a gem. Her husband worked days, so she came alone. Warrick knew she would probably be leaving before too long to get home and get some rest so she could spend time with her husband before she had to be back at work.
Warrick looked over at Nick who sat at the table with him. "Hey, ask Sara to dance."
Nick grinned, "She's talking to Catherine."
Warrick chuckled, "Only because you haven't asked her to dance."
Nick chuckled and got out of his chair and made his way to where Sara was sitting.
