Disclaimer: I do not own any of CSI's characters. I am merely writing about
them. CBS owns the right to the show and its characters. This is my first
Fan Fiction piece and I hope to continue my story gradually. I appreciate
any reviews and please check back for updates.
Chapter 1
The CSI team was just arriving and gathering in the break room before their shift started. Warrick and Catherine were discussing their most recent murder case. They were dealing with very little evidence and no suspects. Sara was talking to a distant Grissom. She was trying to get his feedback on a smash and grab that she was working on solo; however, he didn't seem too interested. Nick was the last to arrive.
"Hey guys, sorry I am late. I was just wrapping up an interesting phone call."
"What the girl at 1-800-BlowJob just wouldn't hang up, she was probably trying to get another $1.99 out of you?" Warrick just couldn't resist the opportunity to be smart-ass.
"Well I was talking to a gorgeous woman. Not what you were thinking though. She's someone I went to college with and just moved to here. I haven't heard from her since college."
"Why the renewed sense of interest? Is she an ex?" Catherine had to get the details on anything that might become gossip later.
"Well not my ex but she used to date my roommate. She had heard that I was here and wanted to catch up. She's a bit out of place here and just looking for someone familiar. We are going to meet for lunch tomorrow."
"Ooooh Nicky's got a big date. Ooooo la la. We'll just HAVE to hear all the details." While Warrick was giving Nick a hard time; Sara left without an explanation or hearing the night's assignments. "Hey what got into her? Hope I didn't say anything. Nicky you may have to deal with a little bit of jealousy."
"No, I don't. Sara and I are just friends. Same with Paige, just friends. If you can even call it that, I haven't seen her in 10 years and we weren't more than acquaintances then."
Grissom chose that moment to get to work. "Alright guys, leave Nick's love life alone. Catherine, Warrick, keep working on trying to find some evidence. Start thinking creatively. I know that that isn't something we typically do but when there are no other answers we need to make some up and see if any pan out. Nick, you and Sara can take this Robbery in Henderson. Any questions?"
"Nope boss, got it all covered." With that Warrick and Catherine left to use their imaginations; which they were going to have to find first.
"Gris, Sara didn't seem like she really wanted to spend anytime with me, do you really think that we are best pair."
"I wouldn't have put the 2 of you together if I didn't."
Grissom left Nick sitting in the break room dreading the night ahead of him. The last few weeks have been hard on Nick and Sara. They had gone on a couple dates and while things seemed to be going great, they mutually decided that it was in their better interests if they didn't pursue a relationship. Having a relationship may affect work and working together may affect their personal relationship. Nick soon realized that while Sara agreed with Nick at the time, it wasn't a mutual decision. She hadn't talked to him much at all since then. This just proved that forming a social relationship would've been detrimental to their work.
Nick found Sara in the lab with Greg. It looked like they were going over the details of her other case.
"Sara, we're going to Henderson. When will you be ready to leave?"
"You and I are going the Henderson? Did Grissom assign that?"
"He did. It's a robbery. Hopefully just a simple case, it shouldn't take too long, I know you have to get back to your other cases."
"Who's the lead?"
"Umm, you know he didn't say. I don't think it will take long enough for us to really need one. We can work together without someone taking control can't we?"
"Well I guess we'll see."
10 Minutes later Sara met Nick at his Tahoe and they started the short drive to Henderson. The ride was silent. They hadn't been forced to talk much since there last date. When they did talk, it was completely work.
The case had been just how Nick hoped. Pretty cut and dry. They had the suspect in custody and the preliminary evidence seemed to back up the charges against him.
On the way back to Vegas the conversation was a little freer flowing between the 2 CSIs.
"Nick, I think I understand why you decided what you did. I know I agreed with then, but really I thought we could work it. Looking at my actions since then, your presumptions were proved and we hadn't gone on too many dates. I hope that we can work together and hopefully soon be comfortable with being the friends that we used to be."
"Sara I hope for the same thing. I think that it'll all work out."
"Good, that's what I was hoping to hear. So, I cut out the break room a little early, what's with this old friend of yours."
"You didn't miss anything. I barely remember her. I know that I do remember her but I can't put a face to her name. Lunch should be interesting."
"Well, it's an hour before shift ends but maybe you can leave early and try to get a quick nap in before you have to meet her. Where are you going to lunch?"
"I am meeting her at Majestic the restaurant in Royale. She works in the marketing department at the Royale"
The rest of the trip was quiet and when they got back to the lab, Sara wished him luck and ran off to see if Greg could process the evidence they just brought in.
