**********

It was a beautiful night, Sara thought to herself as she stepped out of her Tahoe and onto the dry, gray pavement of the CSI parking lot. One of the first in a long time. If you looked up you could see millions of tiny stars shimmering against the dark sky. Which was rare to see in Los Vegas because of all the bright lights from the casinos. The moon was almost full. If she remembered correctly, it was scheduled to be full tomorrow night. If you looked closely and used your imagination a bit, you could see the illusion of the man in the moon.

She took a deep breath, and soaked up the clear night air. Night was her favorite time of the day. That was probably one of the reasons that she loved her job so much. She got to sleep during the day, and stay up all night. It was hard to get used to at first, but now it was routine. She found it just as hard to sleep during the night as most other people find it hard to sleep during the day.

She slowly headed into the building, trying to wait as long as possible before she had to face tonight's cases. She loved her job, because she was able to bring justice and closer to the victims and their families, plus she was good at it, but she still had difficulty looking at the victim's face and not getting emotionally involved. This was her only problem, and she envied Grissom for his ability to never get emotionally involved. He did it so well, but I guess that comes from never being emotional with anyone, period.

Now, Nick. He was another story. He was able to feel emotion but hide it very well. You could tell by the look in his eyes when he first saw the victim, revealing sympathy for the victim and anger for the person who did this, but then that was it. He could mask his feelings, and get on with the job.

She entered the building and headed straight for the break room. It was nice night so she had only worn a light jacket and wasn't in the mood to take it off. "I'll probably have to go get it in a few minutes anyways." She thought out loud, realizing how strange it was to hear her voice in the empty hall.

As she neared the break room she could hear Nick and Warrick arguing over who was the stronger. Go figures. They were really good friends, but they always found something to compete over. She had no doubt that in about five minutes they'd be on the floor having a push-up competition.

She entered the break room and noticed that Grissom was the only one absent. Even Greg was there, adding his two cents worth every so often. When Catherine noticed that she was standing in the doorway, a relieved look spread over her face.

"Boy, am I glad you're here." She exclaimed. "I was beginning to think I was going to be stuck with those three all night."

Sara laughed at her comment and took notice of how good Nick looked. She was always physically attracted to him, who wasn't, but it never got past that. She wasn't very sociable, and she could never really be herself around guys she liked. She always ended up saying something stupid, or doing something stupid. He never seemed to have that problem. He knew just what to say, and when to say it.

At that moment Grissom entered with tonight's cases. He had two folders in his hand and handed one to Sara and kept the other one.

"Tonight Warrick, Nick and Sara are together, and Catherine you're with me. Cat, I'll meet you at the car." He said before leaving the room.

"Aren't you lucky tonight." Catherine said to Sara as she walked past her towards the door. "You get to work with Abbott and Costello."

Sara shot her a warning look, and Catherine turned and walked through the door with a grin on her face.

"Come on Sara." Nick said, putting his arm around her shoulders. "It's not going to be so bad."

Warrick just grinned as they walked down the hall, Nick with his arm still around Sara.

As the headed out to the parking lot, Nick and Warrick got into another argument about who was going to drive. "This is pathetic." Sara thought to herself, and waited for the opportune moment and grabbed the keys Nick held in his hand.

"I'm driving." She said firmly and climbed into the drivers seat. "And one of you are sitting up front with me. I'm separating you two now because I know I'm going to have to do it in about 5 minutes, so save me the trouble, and please don't argue over who sits where." Sara pleaded. They were going to drive her insane by the time the night was over.
