After Nick and Sara left, Warrick stood there with a smug expression on his
face. He rounded the corner and opened his locker, letting out a soft
chuckle.
Catherine looked at him curiously as she entered, noting the look on his face. "You seem pretty happy after processing a double."
Warrick chuckled again as he looked at Catherine. "I just overheard something pretty interesting."
Catherine raised an eyebrow. "Are you going to tell me or tease me?"
Warrick glanced around to make sure no one else was in the room. "Nick and Sara are sleeping together."
Catherine crossed her arms in front of her body. "And how did you happen to overhear that?"
"They didn't know I was in here." Warrick replied with another chuckle.
Catherine looked a bit perplexed. "Why are they so intent on hiding it? It's not like any of us would have a problem with it."
Warrick just shook his head. "Who knows, but I think we need to quiz them a little bit and see if we can get one of them to slip."
Catherine looked amused. "This could be fun."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sara had indeed been exhausted. She fell asleep just minutes after she and Nick crawled into bed. He watched her for a little while as she slept in his arms. Sara had a reputation for being in control and independent. She never seemed to sleep and subsisted on copious amounts of coffee. But Nick had noticed that she tended to sleep well and deep when they were together. For whatever reason, she felt secure with him and he was glad. Though the way their dating relationship had started had not been planned, he was sure that there was something between them that might be lasting. Nick had to admit to himself that he was falling hard for Sara.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Sara, you've been spending a lot of time at Nick's." Catherine began as they were looking through the belongings of the mayor's son in one of the layout rooms.
Sara glanced up at Catherine for a moment before looking back at the wallet in front of her. "Uh, yeah."
Catherine tried to keep her tone even and nonchalant. "Anything good on TV?"
Sara methodically pulled things out of the wallet and cataloged them. "Wild World of Birds."
"Birds?" Catherine sounded skeptical.
Sara smirked. "It's pretty fascinating actually. But most everything on the Discovery Channel is."
Catherine raised her eyebrow. "Yeah, I don't get to watch it as much as I liked to. Lindsey is more into the Disney Channel."
Sara glanced up and smiled. "How is she?"
"Typical ten year old." Catherine smiled proudly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Warrick glanced at Nick as they processed the car that they mayor's son had driven the night of his prom. "Spending a lot of time with Sara after work, aren't you?"
Nick glanced up and chuckled. "What's the big deal? We like to hang out."
"I bet you do." Warrick quipped.
Nick smirked. "What are you getting at, man?"
Warrick continued looking at the backseat for trace evidence. "I think that you and Sara are doing the horizontal mambo."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So I told him that he should try and get on that show 'Trading Spaces'." Sara chuckled.
"Did you convince him?" Catherine queried.
Sara shook her head. "No. He said that he'd worked pretty hard to get his place the way it is."
Catherine watched Sara for a moment as the younger woman seemed to find something interesting in the wallet she was processing. "So, Sara, does Nick wear boxers or briefs."
Sara was concentrating on the unused prom tickets in the wallet and didn't think before she responded. "Boxers." As soon as the word was out of her mouth she knew that Catherine had been setting her up. She closed her eyes and smirked, letting out a low chuckle.
Catherine leaned toward her and smiled. "You two are so busted."
As Sara glanced up a hint of pink tinged her cheeks and she noticed that Catherine looked very pleased.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Nick raised both eyebrows at Warrick. "The horizontal mambo."
Warrick chuckled. "Don't even try and deny it, man. You two have been sneaking around for weeks. What I want to know is why you've been trying to keep it a secret."
Nick didn't say anything for a minute, trying to figure out what he should say. "You don't have any evidence, man."
Warrick chuckled again. "Actually, you may be interested to know that I was in the locker room when you two left after shift yesterday."
Nick tried to restrain an embarrassed grin. He knew the jig was up. "So Sara and I are seeing each other. What's the big deal?"
Warrick's expression was smug.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, Sara, how long has this thing between you and Nick been going on." Catherine couldn't restrain her smile.
Sara swallowed and glanced at Catherine, keeping her voice low. "A few weeks."
Catherine raised a single eyebrow. "Why the big secret?"
Sara pursed her lips together to keep from smiling. "We wanted you guys to figure it out on your own."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"When did this start?" Warrick asked Nick curiously.
Nick tried not to smile. "A few weeks ago."
Warrick chuckled. "So when she answered your phone, I was right on."
Nick couldn't hold back his smile. "Something like that."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sara was pouring herself a cup of coffee in the break room when Nick walked in. She smiled at him conspiratorially. "Our secret is out."
Nick raised an eyebrow. "Warrick got to you too?"
She shook her head. "No. Warrick knows?"
He nodded. "Yeah, who else?"
She smiled. "Catherine. I sort of let it slip." She leaned towards him and whispered. "She knows you wear boxers."
Nick chuckled and took a sip of the cup of coffee he'd poured himself. "Maybe I'll switch."
Sara feigned a horrified expression. "Please tell me you're not considering tighty whiteys."
Nick feigned a hurt expression. "What's wrong with them?"
Sara swatted at him. "There is absolutely nothing sexy about those."
He leaned toward her and whispered. "Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of boxer-briefs."
Sara waggled her eyebrows at him and whispered. "Hmm, I like the sound of that."
He chuckled softly and looked at her with a smoldering expression. "Feel like going shopping after shift? I was kind of thinking we could go to Victoria's Secret and I could buy you something sexy."
She laughed softly. "Sexy, huh?"
Nick grinned as he whispered again. "Something that'll make me want to fuck you silly."
Sara couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
Catherine looked at him curiously as she entered, noting the look on his face. "You seem pretty happy after processing a double."
Warrick chuckled again as he looked at Catherine. "I just overheard something pretty interesting."
