"Freeze!"

Brass barked.

They found Dr. Lurie at the other side of the Strip.

At the border of where the busy and loudly town came to an end and where the desert began.

He was trying to escape Las Vegas.

Or maybe even Nevada.

Lurie stopped but didn't turn around.

Brass walked over to him. "Put you hands on your back!"

Surprisingly he did.

"I suppose we don't need to read you rights again, now do we?" Catherine asked with a sarcastic tone.

Lurie turned a little and looked at her and said with an evil smirk. "Only if it includes handcuffs, Mrs...."

"Oh shut up and move!" Brass was getting annoyed now.

When Brass had Lurie tied up with the handcuffs he pushed him in the police- car.

Brass looked over his shoulder to Grissom.

"Are you going to be okay?"

As a good friend he was concerned about the enigma.

Grissom just nodded.

When the car drove off with also Catherine in it, Warrick turned to his boss.

"I can't believe this happened."

"Neither can I"

He sounded distracted.

Warrick didn't seem to notice.

"I'm glad it's over."

"Me too, Warrick." After a pause "Let's get back to the lab."

*

Arrived at the lab Warrick immediately went to the locker room to grab his stuff and left.

Grissom saw Nick sitting in the break-room sipping at a drink.

When he heard some noises he looked up.

"Hey boss."

"Nick" Grissom just stayed where he was.

In the doorway.

"Ehm, we..eh..wrapped up the case. It appeared that Tom Jackson commit suicide. No suspicious circumstances."

"You finished the papers?"

Nick nodded. "Yeah, they're on your desk.

Grissom pursed his lips.

He wanted to say something.

Sara

He didn't know how to begin.

He shook his head.

"Goodnight Nick."

He looked at his boss unsure.

Unsure how to tell.

"She went home, Griss."

Griss wrinkled his brows and just looked confused.

Nick shrugged.

"But it made sense why she was just as shocked and lost in thoughts as you are today."

Griss didn't react.

He just turned around and walked over to his office.

*

Today they finally closed the chapter of Dr. Lurie.

Grissom finally could move on with other cases.

He could also move on with another chapter.

He was scared as death to open it though.

But he knew it was worth it.

Sara was worth it.
