Chapter 6
Grissom threw down the files Greg just gave him, "Well it's not good enough!" He shouted and stormed off. Cath heard Grissom's voice from down the hall and went to find him, to see what was wrong.
"Grissom? Hey, what's wrong?" Cath asked as she spotted him in the hallway
"How can there be no trace or DNA on the box, tape or stamp! I mean What does he want!?" He grummbled.
"Griss... look, I'm sure something will turn up.... did you find the list of new employees?"
"No, there was no new employees or transfers..." Grissom sighed. "I'm getting Archie and Warrick to go through security videos..."
"That's really weird though... Did Sara tell you about the security guard?" Cath asked, a little more curious about who that guard really was.
"Yeah... briefly." Griss rubbed his forehead.
"Hey guys, you might want to see this..." Warrick announced, popping his head inside.
Cath turned around and follwed behind Warrick. "What is it?"
"Look, that guard... he's always outside Nick's station. For the first two weeks... Then suddenly he's outside Sara's just as much..." Warrick showed them.
"Well Sara was telling me that she saw him staring at Nick and her... Does anyone know his name? Maybe would could check out his files..." Cath suggested
"Chad..." She annouced from the doorway.
"Sara! what are you doing here? where's nick?" Cath turned around quickly, seeing Sara standing there.
"He's at home getting ready for work, he's calling me when he leaves and when he's at the parking lot." Sara smiled.
"oh... well that's good... but anyways, Look what Warrick found." Cath pointed to the screen. "The security guard, Chad, has been hanging around yours and Nick's station for a lot longer than we knew... So we're gonna go run his name and see what we come up with..."
"No surname though..." Sara added.
"well that's no good then..." Cath frowned.
"Ask Brass? Ask Nigel?" Warrick suggested.
"Ask Nick?" Sara offered
"Would Nick know?" Cath asked. "I suppose we can try all our options..."
Nick finished getting his stuff gathered and headed out of his house, double checking the lock as he left. He took his cell out of his cat pocket and dial the familiar cell number. He left a voice message on Sara's cell letting her know he was just leaving.
Sara walked outside to check her cell and smiled at Nick's message. Walking back in she grinned, "He's on his way.."
Cath nodded. "Ok... so I'll call Brass and ask him if he knows anything about a new security guard named Chad and if he has any information on him..." Grissom stalked off to his office.
"Whats up with him?" Sara asked Catherine.
"No DNA or Trace evidence on the box, tape or stamp... that's all I know." Cath said before leaving the room and taking out her cell
"Where's Nick?" Sara asked the empty room.
Nick pulled up to the lab parking lot and found his usual spot. He took out his cell once again, before getting out of his Tahoe, and dialled sara's cell.
Sara jumped, "Sidle..."
"Hey Sara... Just called to let you know I'm here now..." Nick smirked to himself. "Anyway, i'll be inside in a minute... I just gotta grab my gear. See-ya in a bit"
"K, see ya in a bit..." Sara grinned. Sara went to grab a coffee.
Grissom sat looking at the old case files. Nigel Crane's pictures, friends list... Nothing. He used the magnifying glass over an old college picture. Groaning he took the next one.
Nick jumped out of his tahoe and went to the back, reaching in and pulling out his kit. He shut the door and headed back towards the lab.
Chad idly walked down the lab hallway, peering inside each station as he went. He couldn't find Nick or Sara. Mumbling something to himself, he walked past the room Sara was in, not seeing her. He headed to the security camera room, unlocking the door and taking a seat, starting at the security videos.
Sara thought she saw Chad, "too much stress..." She shrugged and had more coffee. She walked out to meet Nick.
Chad scanned across the screens and stopped when he saw the one for the parking lot, noticing Nick's Tahoe, and Nick walking towards the lab. "Well, how nice of you to join us" He said smugly, stopping when he noticed Sara walking outside. He frowned and walked out fo the room.
Nick looked up ahead and saw Sara. "Hey!" He walked up by her. "How are you?"
"Missing you." Sara grinned and kissed Nick's cheek. "Grissom's in a mood... He doesn't like someone stalking his favourite handsom texan CSIs..." Sara smiled a little.
Nick chuckled. "Well I don't think he has much to worry about. Nigel's in jail... he obviously can't do anything. I mean the video was weird, but it's nothing..." Nick put on a brave face, pushing aside his own doubts.
"MMMM I smell donuts..." Sara smiled.
"Hey Nicky..." Warrick grinned, "Sara, Nick you coming in?"
"Yep..." Nick placed a hand behind Sara and let her in first, following close behind.
"RIGHT! Where's Cath?" Grissom said as he ran into the breakroom. "Get Greg... and Cath, we have a breakthrough!"
"Gris? What's up?" Nick asked, getting himself a coffee.
"Right umm layout room please...." Grissom was all happy-go-lucky.
"Lets go in babe." Sara smiled at Nick. Nick grinned at her, taking her hand and following behind Grissom to the layout room.
Everyone filed into the layout room. Grissom handed round pictures with red circles on them. "THAT'S CHAD!" Grissom smiled. "The picture is dated 1998." Chad knows Nigel!"
"Umm, okkk, and?" Sara asked.
"We find Chad..." Warrick suggested.
"How?" Asked Sara.
"He's probably here... I mean, he's posing as a security guard, so He's gotta be in the lab somewhere..."
"Lets fan out, find him, talk to him.... go." Grissom said. His judgement was clearly clouded but Sara nodded.
