Sara was getting her bag from her locker when she felt someone's hands on her hips. 'Mmmm Nicky' she mumbled as he kissed her neck, she slowly ran her fingers through his hair. 'Stop it someone's going to see us' she hissed as she felt his hands moving up her sides. 'Come on Nicky please' she pleaded with him as he continued to kiss her neck, his hands running over her breasts. She grabbed his hands, and turned to face him.
'What?' he whispered as he pushed a loose strand of hair away from her face.
'I don't think making out in the locker room is a very good way of keeping this to ourselves.' Sara replied.
'Can I help it if I find you irresistible?' Nick whispered his lips grazing hers.
'Nick' Sara pleaded with him again.
'Okay' he went to his locker to get his things. 'So you wanna get breakfast?' he asked. Before she could reply her cell phone rang.
'Sidle' She answered. 'Oh hey Alek.'
'You said if I wanted to talk to call you.. I'm not interrupting anything am I?' Alek asked quietly.
'No it's fine I haven't left work yet. Do you want to meet somewhere?' Sara tried to sound normal as Nick grabbed her from behind and began kissing her neck again.
'Yeah what about the diner around the corner' Alek replied.
'Sounds. great.' Sara managed to reply as Nicks hands ran up the front of her shirt.
'Look you sound kinda busy.. It's ok we can do this another time.' Alek answered.
'Uh no it's ok.. I'll meet you there in 10 minutes' Sara let out a low moan as Nicks hands rubbed her gently.
'Well if you're sure.' Alek muttered.
'I'll see you shortly.' Sara was fighting hard to keep control.
'Sure.. Say hi to Nick for me' Alek closed her phone.
'Hey Nick..' Sara whispered.
'What?' Nick mumbled his lips still assaulting Sara's neck.
'Alek says hi' Sara giggled as she felt him gently bite her neck.
'Busted' he muttered as he moved his mouth up to her lips kissing her slowly.
Sara pulled away and smiled at him. 'Yeah well we're gonna get a whole lot more busted if we stay here doing this.'
Nick pouted at Sara. 'Well. we could go to my place..'
'I'm going to meet Alekxandra.. She needs someone to talk to.' Sara smiled. 'That puppy dog face isn't going to work this time Stokes.'
Nick sighed. 'Okay I get it I have to learn to share.' He slung his bag over his shoulder. 'So will I see you later?' he asked kissing her one last time.
'Oh you might' Sara smirked as she walked out the locker room door, leaving Nick standing alone.

'Hey Cath you wanna go get some breakfast?' Warrick asked as he headed towards the locker room.
'Yeah in a minute I need to see Grissom about something'. She replied as she knocked on the door.
'Well okay I'll meet you out front.' She heard Warrick say as the locker room door shut.
She knocked again. 'Gil are you in there?'
'Come in' she heard him say as she opened the door.
'Still on the bugs huh?' she asked picking up a specimen jar.
'Yes' he replied gruffly taking the jar from her hands. 'Was there something you needed?'
Catherine was slightly taken aback by the harshness of his words. 'Well I just thought you might like to know that Brass hasn't been able to track down Bateman yet.'
'Well I'm sure he will. Is that all?' he replied again turning his attention to the bugs in front of him.
'No that's not all Gil. Put the damn bugs down and look at me for a minute.' She leaned forward her palms flat on his desk. 'I just told you the guy that killed that girl and beat the hell outta Ally is still running loose and that's all you have to say?'
Grissom put down the specimen jar he was holding and looked across the desk at her. 'What else is there to say?'
'Well I don't know. You could ask if Ally is ok? Or didn't you even stop to consider how all of this must be making her feel.' Catherine spat at him furious at his indifference.
He looked up at her. 'She'll be fine.. Sara was going to talk to her.'
'That's fine Gil but what are YOU going to do.' Catherine could feel her anger rising.
'I have to finish this analysis.' He looked at her confused.
'I cannot believe you. Ally needs you right now and all you're worried about is the goddamn bugs.' Catherine threw her hands up in frustration. She stood and walked to the door. 'You really do have no idea what this does to her do you?' she muttered as she walked out the door leaving Grissom to his thoughts.
********************************************** *********************************
Sara opened the door of the diner and scanned the room looking for Alekxandra, who was sitting in a booth staring out the window.
'Hey' She smiled at Alek as she slid into the booth opposite her.
'Oh hey.. Sorry to drag you away from Nick.' Alek looked at Sara and smiled.
Sara blushed. 'It's ok. What's on your mind?'
'Did they find him yet?' she asked quietly looking out the window again.
Sara sighed. 'I shouldn't be discussing this with you Alek. You know that.'
'Haven't found him yet huh.' She continued staring out the window.
'I'm sure you don't need to worry. He's probably long gone by now. They'll find him.' Sara looked at Alek trying to read her face.
'Yeah I guess.' She answered taking a sip from the glass of water that sat in front of her.
'Did you order yet?' Sara asked scanning the menu in front of her.
'Nah I figured I'd wait for you to finish messing round with Nick first.' Alek replied with a small smile.
Sara gave her a mock glare. 'Oh you just love it that you're the only one that knows don't you?'
'No I just think it's great that two people enjoy each other so much.' She replied as she called a waitress over.
'Yeah it is.' Sara nodded smiling.
They ordered their meals and sat talking about nothing in particular while they waited. By the time their food came they were busily talking about their families.
'All five of my brothers are cops.. Imagine what I had to put up with growing up.' Alek laughed as she ate her eggs.
'How old are they?' Sara asked.
'Oldest is 50 youngest is 43. And I'm the baby of the bunch.' Alek finished her meal and took a long drink of water.
'Wow.. I don't have any brothers or sisters. Just me and my hippie parents.' Sara grinned seeing the look on Alek's face.
'Your parent's are hippies???' She asked trying not to laugh.
'Oh yeah.. Big time hippies.' Sara was laughing now.
'I'm sorry I just can't imagine you growing up in that kinda environment.' Alek laughed.
'Yeah well I can only imagine what you put up with. I can't imagine having one let alone 5 brothers.' Sara giggled.
'Yeah well imagine the reception the guys I brought home got. After my dad died they kinda took right over where he left off.' Alek rolled her eyes.
'Was he a cop too?' Sara asked.
'You bet he was through and through. Guess you could say I'm kinda the black sheep of the family.' Alek finished with a smirk.
'Your parent's were disappointed you didn't join the force too?' Sara asked as the waitress cleared their table.
'Hell no my mom just wishes I'd settle down and give her some more grandkids.' She laughed.
'Let me guess.. Only one unmarried?' Sara shook her head.
'Yup that's me. Mom's lil black sheep.' She grinned looking at her watch yawning.
'I guess we should head home and try and get some sleep before tonight.' Sara yawned too.
'Yeah sleep right.' Alek laughed when she saw the look on Sara's face.
They walked outside to their cars in silence. 'Are you going to be ok?' Sara asked looking at Alekxandra.
'Yeah I guess.. I don't really feel like going home but I should try and get some sleep.' She smiled at Sara as she got into her car. 'Thanks.'
'Hey anytime' Sara replied as Alek drove off.
*********************************** *************************************
Grissom sat at his desk trying to concentrate on the work in front of him, but his mind kept wandering. Catherine's words kept running through his head. 'You have no idea what this does to her.' He sighed and picked up the phone on his desk and dialed Alekxandra's cell phone.
'This is Alek leave a message and I might call you back!!' her voice chirped on the end of the phone.
Grissom cleared his throat. 'Uh hi Alekxandra. I uh.. just wanted to make sure you were ok. Call me when you get this.' He hung the phone back up, and looked at his desk. He picked up the phone again and dialed her home phone. Again no answer just her machine. Where the hell is she? He thought trying to push the irrational thoughts from his mind. He dialed her cell phone again, still no answer.
He looked at the half finished work that covered his desk, he stood found his car keys and headed towards the car park. He got into his car and headed towards Alekxandra's house. His heart was racing when he pulled up in front of her house. He got out and strode up the path to her front door. He lifted his hand to knock, but stopped himself. What are you doing Gil? He thought. She's an adult and can look after herself. He knocked on the door, no answer. He knocked again. Still no answer, he tried to push aside the worries clouding his head as he sat down on her front steps.
******************************* *************************************
Alekxandra drove away from the diner heading for home although she didn't much feel like being there alone right now. Maybe I should call him. She thought pulling her cell phone out of her pocket. She flipped it open as she drove. She hit Grissom's number and lifted the phone to her ear. Nothing. 'Oh great dead battery' she muttered as she turned into her street. That looks like Grissom's car she thought pulling into her driveway. She looked across at her steps and noticed that Grissom was sitting on the top step his head leaning back eyes closed.
Smiling she walked up her stairs and sat down beside him gently shaking his arm. 'Gil.. wake up' she whispered in his ear, 'come on you can't sleep out here what would the neighbors think.' She gently rubbed his cheek as he opened his eyes.
'Hey' he mumbled sleepily rubbing his cheek up and down her hand.
'What's wrong Gil?' she whispered standing up pulling him with her.
'Nothing' he sighed as she moved towards the door.
'Then why were you asleep on my doorstep.' She turned to face him.
A/N Well that took a little longer than I expected. However if you hit the nice little button and review I will post more tomorrow.. Pretty Please!!!!
