Summery: What happens after one of the team leaves

~

"Hey" Nick said and sat next to Warrick.

"Hey" Warrick answered without looking at Nick.

"How are you feeling?"

"Guess" Warrick said, his voice was bitter.

"I understand man, we all feel strange" Nick said.

"I know you all do, it's just different for me, you know". He looked at Nick and continued "you didn't see her…gone, in front of my eyes and I couldn't do anything" Nick nodded, not sure what to say everybody knew it wasn't Warrick's fault. "I just keep telling that to myself so I could feel better but…"

"I understand" Nick said.

"What's gonna happen now?"

"We'll probably get a new CSI but I don't know".

"Yeah, I guess you're right" Warrick said.

"I'm gonna get going, shift starts in few hours and I need to get ready" Nick got up.

"Yeah, thanks for stopping by"

"Sure man, see you" Nick said and left the house.

Warrick listened to the door as it closed. He had no idea what he felt, her death wasn't his fault and he knew that and everyone said that too but there was something, he had no idea what it was and whatever it was, he really wanted it to go away. It wasn't even a week since her death and everyone behaved normally, he couldn't it was too hard, he had nightmares about her and he hated it. Suddenly he got it; he understood what he was feeling. He was feeling guilt; he was guilty without guilt.

"Bye Sara" he said softly.
