"hey Greg! What have you got for me?" Sara asked as she walked into the DNA lab.
"well the hair fibers that you found on the vic are feline raar!" Greg brought up his hand like a cat's paw.
"A cat? I didn't see any sign of an animal let alone a cat at the scene."
"OK, also the other fibers were from a carpet, probably a car carpet. But they were molded"
"So the vic was in a car with water damge. I don't think we have the crime scene. Thanks Greg, I'm gonna go run this stuff with Nick."
"OK" Sara turned and left and headed to the lay out room.
"Hey Nick, got some stuff for you. The hair fibers are feline, and there was no trace of an animal at the house. And the other fibers found on the vic's clothes are carpet, probably from a car with water damage."
"So basically we're not at our original crime scene, just the dump site."
"Right, so let's find out who the vic is, and where he lives and what kind of car he drives. OK let's go cowboy." Nick smiled and pulled Sara towards the door and left.
"I'll meet you at the truck I want to see if Grissom found anything out with the neighbors."
"Ok Sar, but don't take to long. I might miss you." Nick put on a puppy dog face.
"Well I can make it up to you. I'll meet you by the Tahoe in about 10 mintues ok?"
"alright, but what am I supposed to stare at until then?" Nick asked seductively.
"How 'bout the police reports?" She grinned.
"Aww you're no fun!" He smiled.
"Maybe later cowboy." She slapped his arm playfully and headed over to Grissom's office.
+l+l+l+l+l+l+l+l+l+l+l+
"Hey Grissom" Sara walked into Grissom's office and sat down.
"Hey Sara what's up?" He put down the file he was looking at.
"Well I wanted to know what you found out with the neighbors."
"Oh, well let's see. The guy we found doesn't live there, they've never met him before, and the family that does live there is vacationing in the Caribean. They won't be back until Thursday. The neighbors are looking after the house, looking for anything suspicious."
"well they're not doing a very good job. I mean you'd think they;d notice a dead body being dumped. I mean come on-"
"Wait a second. The body was dumped?" This was news for Grissom.
"Yea, we found a hair sample and it belonged to a cat, and also car carpet fibers on the body. They were molded and water logged."
"Oh, so we have no idea who this guy is?"
"Greg is running the vic's blood now. Hey I've got to go now. Nick and I are going to do some research on car carpet fibers." Sara stood up.
"Ok, call me when you find something."
"OK!" Sara left, and walked back towards the breakroom. She didn't see Nick so she figured he was already waiting dopwn by his truck. So she headed that way. And sure enough there he was. "hey Cowboy." He blushed.
"I couldn't wait inside anymore. It smelled and reminded me of you everywhere. So I came outside for some fresh air. But now you're here and I can smnell you again, and it's driving me crazy." He pulled her to him and put his hands in her back pockets.
"Careful Nicky don't want to get yourself in trouble she said in a husky tone.
"but that's what I do best." He laughed and began to place light kisses on her neck ears and any other visible skin.
"Nick…hmm…if you keep doing this…I…don't think…we'll…get much work..done-oh screw this" She cut herself off and pulled his lips to herskissing him wildly. He pulled her closer and deepened the kiss. He spun them around so that she was leanig against the truck. She brought herself as close to him as possible.
"GET A ROOM!" A voice yelled not angrily, but loud enough to be heard a couple blocks away. They turned to see who it was. It was Catherine, laughin hysterically at the surprised looks on their faces. "I'm just kidding! But don't let Grissom catch you." Catherine was still laughing. Nick and Sara's faces were beat red. Sara tried to smooth down her hair. "You guys are so cute! So when did this happen?"Catherine glanced back and forth between them. They both had huge smiles on their faces. There was silence.
"today." Sara calmly stated.
"When today? You've been out in the field most of the day." Catherine was a little confused. Nick and Sara just looked at each other and giggled.
"Oh you didn't?" Nick and Sara just giggled even more. "You did! You guys could have compromised evidence at the scene!"
"It happened after we collected evidence." Nick replied.
"You didn't get to carried away did you?"
"No." Nick laughed. "Unfortunatley we didn't have time." Sara slapped his arm.
"Actually Grissom came before we got carried away." Sara said while glaring at Nick, smiling uncontrollably.
"So he say you?" Catherine was still confused.
"he called from downstairs, and we took care of things before he came up."
"Oh, well I'm happy for you. Well I'll let you get back to whatever it was you were getting to." She walked to her truck and pulled away.
"Bye Cath!" Nick waved.
"well this has been an interesting evening." Sara said as she brought herself back inot Nick's arms and rested her hands on Nick's shoulders.
"That it has. But now we need to get to work" he said as a placed a quick but soft kiss on her lips and ran and got into the truck.
"right" she turned and climbed into the truck. "Hey Nick, does this research trip include food?" Sara asked rubing her stomach.
"Sure, what do you want?"
"McDonalds would be nice."
"I thought you were a vegetarian?" He was a little confused.
"I am but they have fish, and salads." She blushed.
"Why are you blushing Sidle?"
"Hmm wouldn't you like to know" She grinned and her cheeks turned a darker shade of crimson.
"Yes I would seeing is how you're blushing even more." A wide grin spread across Nick's face.
"Well…it's…umm you." She smiled and stared at her hands.
"Nick choked on air. "Me?" He blushed now.
"yeah, whenver you're around me , I don't know, I feel more alive."
"Wow Sara I feel the same way about you." He took her hand in his, but keeping one hand on the steering wheel. She looked up and met his gaze. Here eyes were glazed with tears. "Sara when do we get off this shift?"
"Umm 7:30. why?"
"You want to get some breakfast?"
"Sure so skip McDonalds, go straight to the car place, and then we'll go out."
"OK" he was so intent on looking at Sara that he ran a red light. There was a loud screech and a car horn honking.
"NICK!"
