''BEEP BEEP' Nicks beeper cried interrupting his dinner with Sara. Nick takes a quick glance
"Sorry Sara, new case got to go" Nick apologized
"That's okay…" Sara was interrupted by her own beeper "looks like we're on the same case, lucky me" Sara added after calling over the waiter.
"Would you like your check Ma'am?" asked the waiter
"Yes, thanks." Sara replied

*at the break room*
Catherine is sitting down easting a store bought fruit salad. Warrick walks in pours himself a cup of coffee.
"Hey Warrick… long night?" Catherine asked admedianly placing a piece of pineapple in her mouth
"Yes! I Just finished a case and I have to hang around for another 3 hours before I can kick off." Warrick obviously was not happy about his night.
"Sorry I asked" Catherine backed off
"Sorry. Too much coffee" Warrick raised his cup "this is my sixth."
"I think you need to back off there tiger"
"Yeh that's probably a good idea" Warrick eyed off Catherine's fruit salad. "Can I have some?" Catherine pushed back her bowl as Warrick leans over
"No! Get your own"

*the next night*
As the new Lab Tec settles herself in Greg's old lab. People who walk past can't help but stare at her. She turned up to her first day of work in a knee length black skirt held together by only half done up zips. Her shirt is a black randomly cut and patched up tee-shirt. Her hair is tied up loosely in a French twist and her make up is dark and Smokey.
She notices a large pile in the 'to do' box. 'I better get too it then' she thought as she took out a portable CD player and places the ear phones into her ears.
*a couple of hours later*
Greg walks in just as the Lab Tec is playing the drums on the desk as she waits for the printer to print out results on a blood test. Greg Leans on the door casually hoping that she would look up and notice how stunning he looked in his new corduroy jeans. Just as he expected she looked up and jumped. Pulling the ear phones out of her ears she said
"Sorry… hey your that guy I ran into yesterday aren't you?"
"Why Yes, I am" Greg said as suave as he could. He walked over to her and held out his hand in a gesture of a handshake
"Greg Sanders, the tour guide of this office." The woman didn't seem to impressed with is humour but returned his hand shake
"July Winters, and judging by your pathetic attempt to wow me, I bet you're the office bachelor" July Obviously was not happy to be hit on by a man who needed a hair stylist.
"I'm sorry, obviously we've gotten off on the wrong foot, why don't we catch up later and properly introduce ourselves" Greg seemed a little startled at July's comment. But July seemed a lot happier that Greg was no longer using humour as a pickup
"Yeh maybe" she replied smiling.

*a couple of hours earlier*
Nick and Sara are standing in on the autopsy of their most recent case of a Jane Doe whose cause of death seems to be asphyxiation
"you see this bruising around her wrists" Dr Al Robbins explains to his audience "I've found traces of a cheap silver usually used un novelty hand cuffs" Sara raises her eye brows at the doctor, he notices this and rolls his eyes at the juvenile accusation that he uses novelty hand cuffs.
"So she was restrained by hand cuffs." Nick reassured himself "what's this?" Nick pointed to a strange substance around her stomach and arms.
"I'm not sure exactly what it is but it should be processing now by the new Lab Tec" Dr Robbins explained.
"New Lab Tec hey… Guy or Girl" Sara asked to see what Nicks reaction would be. Just like Sara Predicted Nick elbowed her in the ribs.
"Girl, and Nick she's no your type." The Doctor added. Trying to change the subject he pointed to an abrasion on her lower abdomen. "This seems to be a restraint bruise, possibly caused while she was reaped."
"She was raped?" Sara Questioned, this information was new to her, for there was no evidence of this at the scene
"Yes and the bruising happened post mortem" he added
"The Sick bastard" Nick responded to the sick accusation.
