Chapter 2 Gil Grissom, head of midnight shift at the crime lab, was just leaving the scene of a smash and grab robbery He, Nick and Sara had finished processing. Since Grissom was the supervisor he was in custody of the evidence the three had collected, as he took the last bag out to his Tahoe he heard Nick on the radio screaming, "All units, shots fired, officer down. I repeat shots fired, officer down at the corner of Fremont St and South Las Vegas Boulevard!" (Grissom on radio: "Dispatch, Unit 1 responding Code 3 to officer down!") As Grissom arrived on scene he saw two Tahoes, one half on the sidewalk and one in the middle of the road, he also saw what looked like every Police and EMS vehicle for 50 miles in each direction converging on the scene. Nick found Warrick unconscious, bound with handcuffs and duct tape with a gunshot wound to his right shoulder, as Nick began first aid, he heard running and gunfire, he looked up and saw three white men with shaved heads and Nazi tattoos running towards him and Warrick firing hand guns, Nick in response to this, drew his service pistol and opened fire effectively neutralizing the subjects but sustaining a gunshot wound to his left thigh. Officers on the street heard the exchange of gun fire and after being unable to raise Nick on the radio they ran to help, when they arrived at the second scene they found 3 dead white supremacists, an unconscious Warrick and a semi-conscious Nick, Nick being stoic as usual said "I'm fine" and with that Warrick came 'round and the gambler in him spoke "wanna bet?"

"Okay, Mr. Grissom, Mr. Stokes and Mr. Brown are out of surgery and stable, you may see them now." Said Dr. Weston "Oh thank god!" Sara said, and with that she rushed off to see Nick. "What about Catherine?" Gil asked, tears welling in his eyes. Mr. Grissom. "Please, call me Gil" said Grissom politely. Okay Gil, Catherine has had some major trauma and right now she has about a 60% chance of coming out okay. "Uncle Grissom?" Interrupted Catherine's 10 year old daughter Lindsay "Is my mom all right?" "I don't know yet sweetie" replied Gil, "carry on Doctor" "Okay as I was saying, Ms. Willows has about a 60% chance right now, that is my best guess, she is stable and should be out of surgery soon, you should be able to see her tomorrow" "She's a fighter, thank you Doctor, keep me updated."

"Nick? Hello?" "It's Sara, are you okay?" "Sara?" Nick mumbled "How's Catherine? How are you, where's Warrick?" "Catherine is still in surgery, the bullet did a lot of damage, it bounced around, hit her spleen and nicked her liver but she should be ok." "Wow, jeez" Nick said astonished "and Warrick?" "The bullet went through and through, he'll be fine" "What about me, Dr Sidle?" "You owe me a cup of coffee!" Sara laughed.
