*Later that morning

Catherine was in the locker room sorting out the clothes she wanted to take home with her. She was in an extremely happy mood because it was summer break and she was taking Lindsey to Miami to see Horatio Caine. Catherine didn't like Horatio much but she was getting free accommodation and Lindsey seemed to like him.

Grissom walked into the room to gather his assorted paraphernalia at the end of his shift. His shift wasn't actually over for another hour but he noticed Catherine was about to leave so he decided to come in to talk. He was using his locker as an alibi to be in the same room.

"Oh... Hi Grissom" Catherine jumped when he opened his locker.

"Hi Catherine" Grissom said as if he didn't notice she was there "Oh… your going on vacation aren't you?" he said as if he wasn't the supervisor of the night shift.

"Yeh Taking Lindsey to the beach" Catherine said totally bypassing the fact she was staying with Horatio.

"Sounds like fun" there was a hint of sarcasm in Grissoms Voice; he was never a beach person. He looked at his watch, he new she had a flight in 3 hours. "Well I'll see you when you get back" Grissom said in a very friendly tone taking a step forward

"I'll see you in 2 months" Catherine said opening her arms gesturing a hug, which Grissom happily accepted. They stood there for a long time in each others arms. They haven't been this close for a long time.

A locker slammed, breaking up the two. It was a day shift Csi coming in for her shift.

"Sorry" she said, ashamed she broke them up. She quickly walked out of the room to avoid confrontation

"Well… I'll see you" Catherine added placing her bag over her shoulder giving Grissom a quick smile. She closed her locker and walked out. She was on an unusual high, she even walked with a spring in her step. Grissom just stood there staring of into the empty space that Catherine was only just standing in. he was pondering his actions. Then he snapped back into sanity when he realised he hadn't seen July that night like he promised.

*in the layout room

Nick was standing at the table with the victim's clothes laid out in front of him. They are typical prostitute clothes. A short black mini and a halter neck with sequins and tassels. Nick was running swabs over the clothes. Suddenly he noticed a long red hair with DNA follicles still attached. This was obviously not the victim's hair seeing she had short blond hair cut.

After bagging the hair Nick realised he had finished. Just as he was packing the clothes into their marked bags, he realised that he still hadn't collected the results on the black substance on Jane Doe. As he closed the bag and filed it all Nick could think of was what DR Robbins said about her not being his type.

Nick thought of him self as a ladies man. Usually he goes for the "Damsel in distress" type. You know super Nick to the rescue. Usually this Damsel was a sultry. But recently he had been attracted to strong headed women. Like Sara. So he pictures the new Lab Tec as a quiet, withdrawn woman with a granny bun on top og her head and had thick glasses.

As he walked in to the lab and actually saw that she was a punk-goth.

'No wonder the doc said she was not my type.' Nick thought.

"May I help you?" July said in a very pleasant voice. This surprised Nick because he was expecting a ruff horsy sound.

"Hi…I'm Nick Stokes, I'm here…" Nick was interrupted

"Ahh. Yes I've got your results right here… some where" July looked around the now very messy room and picked up a file that was next to her uneaten apple "here it is. Here Mr Stokes" Nick was handed the folder and he started flicking through it.

"The substance Dr Robbins found was mixture of chlorinated pool water and get this… Liquid latex. By the sound of the cuff marks this must have been a very kinky event." Noticing Nicks face July added "don't you think that's kinda kinky?"

"If you think that's kinky you should speak to Greg" Nick said not taking his eyes of the analysis page. He left the room to tell Sara the interesting news.

July thought that Nick was quite rude. But still wondered what was with Greg and liquid latex.
