Summary: A little road trip turns bad for the CSI team. And it all started when Nick took a wrong turn.
What a day -Chapter 2-
Grissom looked around. All he saw was sand, they were in the desert and haven't seen a car in a while. "Well, we should try to walk to the nearest sign of life and try to get us out of here. Someone also needs to stay with the car." he said to the others.
"I'll stay" said Catherine and Sara in unison.
"I guess I'll go" said Warrick. After seeing no objections from the others, he continued " At least one of you has to come with me"
They all turn to Nick. Nick looks at them. "Oh so I guess since I'm the one to blame for this, I should go?"
"It's as simple as that" Sara answered him. The rest of the team seemed to agree.
"And Grissom can stay with us" added Sara. They all looked at her and she continued " We need a man, what if we get attacked or something" She said this jokingly.
"Sara, there's nobody out here but us."
" It was a joke Grissom, a joke" she replied. "That man! Sometimes he's just weird. But hey, I love him anyway" she thought.
"Come on Nick, lets get on our way. I guess we'll just follow the road" said Warrick.
"Too bad it's not a yellow brick road" added Nick, getting no laughs from anyone, "not even a smile" he thought.
And with that, they were off leaving Grissom and the two girls behind.
* * * * *
"How long have they been gone?" Catherine asked Sara as they were slowly walking out of boredom on the road in the direction they had come from.
"I don't know, a while I guess. Where'd Grissom go?"
" I think he went looking for bugs, he's just a little up ahead" Sara replied
"Typical" mumbled Catherine.
Catherin and Sara decided that they were tired and wanted to rest, they sat by the side of the road. Catherine started looking through her bag for something. Sara eyed her suspiciously.
"What are you looking for?" she asked.
"My smokes" she replied.
Sara was actually stunned. "But I thought you quit smoking?"
"I did" Catherine returned.
"Think of all the effort it took, I know, I've done it to" Sara said, she continued with a disgusted look on her face "Think of the gum!" She hated nicorette.
"You want one?" Catherine asked
"Sure" Sara answered casually.
* * * * *
"We better go see what Grissom is up to" Sara said as she flung the rest of her cigarette into the street. Catherine nodded and did the same. Before they even had a chance to stand, a line of flames started forming on the road and was headed for the Tahoe...and then BAM! There goes the Tahoe up in flames accompanied by a very loud explosion.
Catherine looks at Sara. "Oops" she said in a very slow and quiet tone. Grissom arrived behind them after also witnessing the event. "What did you guys do?" he said.
"Not me, it was her!" Sara answered pointing and Catherine.
"No it wasn't it could easily have been yours!" she snapped back.
"What the hell happened?" yelled Grissom
"Spontaneous combustion?" replied Catherine, not wanting to tell him they were smoking. Grissom just stared at her, waiting for the truth.
"We were smoking and threw our cigarettes on the road and it cought fire and the Tahoe seems to have exploded."
"Yes Catherine it seems as though it has" he replied in a very sarcastic way.
Grissom looked at the road and at the long black line now leading to a flaming Tahoe. He had a puzzled look on his face then after a few moments his look changed. " I know what happened" he mumbled.
"What?" asked the girls.
"Remember that metal thing we hit earlier? It must of caused a leak and that's why we ran out of gas..." he turns to them " and that's why you blew up our car" he added.
"Ohh" the girls replied.
* * * * *
They all jolted when they heard Grissom's phone ring, they had been watching the flames as they died down in silence.
"Grissom" he answered.
"Hey it's Warrick"
"Oh good, you guys get anywhere?"
"Yeah, we found a gas station, no thanks to this genius" you can hear Nick in the background "like I said before it wasn't my fault! It bit me!" Now back to Warrick "Anyway, this gas station, charming as it is, has no gas container thing, so we'll need to tow" Static is heard on both ends of the phone. "Griss, my battery is dying, so just to say that we're on our way, we'll be there in-" And before he could finish, they were disconnected.
"Well?" Sara asked? "What's the verdict?"
"They're on they're way" replied Grissom as he put his cell phone away.
"Why didn't you tell them about the...uh...incident?" Catherine asked.
"Warrick's phone died"
"What about Nick's phone?"
Grissom turned to the smoke, "He left it in the Tahoe"
Catherine and Sara couldn't help but smile.
* * * * *
Grissom, Catherine and Sara were now all sitting be the side of the road when they heard a truck coming, the tow truck they all assumed. None of them bothered to look up as it pulled over. Nick and Warrick stepped out.
"What the hell happened here!?" Warrick cried out.
" They blew up the Tahoe" Said Grissom without even moving.
"Man! My phone was in there" shouted Nick.
The sitting trio looked up and when they saw what was in front of their eyes they started laughing. Nick and Warrick were covered from head to toe in some kind of substance, their clothes were torn, and their hair! Ohhh their hair!
"Oh yeah, laugh it off" Nick said. And Warrick continued "You think blowing up the Tahoe was bad, wait til you hear what we've been through!"
THE END...or is it?
Well it will be if I don't get reviews, good or bad I don't care, I just want to know if this is worth continuing. If you want to know what happened to Nick and Warrick, please review and tell me.
Thanks for coming this far.
