A/N: Thanks for the reviews.

Chapter Four: Back Home

"Hey everyone." Nick said, dragging himself through the door. Sara came in behind him, equally tired.

"You're back early." Grissom noted.

"Really?" Sara asked.

"What are you doing home?" Catherine asked. Nick stared at her for a second, as if to see through her.

"We missed the lab." Sara replied.

"There's a shocker. You guys needed a break." Warrick said.

"Thanks War. Griss can we talk to you for a second?" Nick asked, looking at his boss. Grissom nodded and followed the newlyweds out the door to his office.

"Ok. Something is not right here. Let me guess... you're getting divorced already?" Grissom asked.

"Funny. No." Nick replied dryly. "Guess again."

"Ran into someone and they're after you?" Grissom tried. Sara's mouth dropped open. "It's a gift Sara, close your mouth."

Nick's phone started ringing.

"Stokes."

"I didn't see you this morning."

Nick didn't even have to ask who it was.

"So?"

"Don't worry. I know where you are. Remember my spy is in Vegas. She said you two went home. Did I scare ya Nick?"

"Bye." Nick said and hung the phone up. Not even a second later Sara's phone started ringing.

"Sidle. Er... I mean Stokes."

"Don't get used to that last name Sara."

The line went dead and Sara pulled the phone away from her ear and stared at it.

"Enlighten me." Grissom said. Nick and Sara explained their whole honeymoon and Tara's conversation with Nick.

"Wow. You guys had a fun time." He said.

"Thanks. What are we going to do about this 'spy'?" Nick asked.

"Excuse me?" Grissom asked. "What we?"

"Griss come on! This girl is after me and you're not going to help me?" Nick exclaimed.

"Nicky we're CSIs not Pre-CSIs. We investigate crimes. Not crimes to be." Grissom explained.

"Stalking is a crime Gil." Sara said.

"Sara we have no idea who the 'spy' is for this Tara girl. How are we supposed to investigate someone who we have no idea to start looking for them?" Grissom said. "I understand you want to protect Nick. We all do. But there's not much we can do."

"We know the spy works for the lab." Nick said.

"Oh do we?" Grissom asked.

"Yes. We haven't gone home so they are obviously not watching the apartment.
We came straight here from the airport. Notice the tiredness. Whoever it is works for the lab and is a woman." Nick replied.

"Well that narrows it down to Cath, the receptionist, Mandy, and Jenna." Greg's voice said. "Bring me any presents?"

"Greg!" the three CSIs chorused.

"What? You should lock the door when you want to have a private conversation. I do know for a fact your spy is not Catherine. She doesn't know a Tara. I think its Mandy. She's always wanted Nick and would do anything to have him." He said. "Or Tara could be trying to confuse you to think it's a woman but really it's a man. Like Ecklie. He's always had it out for us graveyard shift workers."

"Greg, kindly exit the way you entered." Grissom said.

"Fine. But I'll be back." He said, walking out.

"Now back to your problem. We can't do anything until we have the spy." Grissom started.

"Yes we can. Interrogate all of the women here." Nick said.

"Look guys, I'm sorry. I really am but there's not much I can do right now." Grissom said, standing up.

"Whatever." Nick muttered and walked out.

"Nick!" Sara called. She turned back to Grissom. "I hope you're happy."

"What? Sara!" he exclaimed.

"You should know how he's feeling right now! All this stalking stuff is starting over again!" she said.

"I can't help it Sara. Go interrogate everyone if you want but I can't do anything right now." Grissom said. "I've got everyone working double for the past five days because you and Nick went away. Get ready for work and I'll meet you and Nick in the break room in five."

Sara glared at him and walked out of the room and to the locker room.

"I cannot stand him!" she screamed, making Nick, who's head was in his locker, jump.

"Jesus!" he yelled, rubbing the top of his head. He came out of the locker and glared at her. "Do you have to yell so loud? I hurt my head because of you."

"I'm sorry honey. Next time I come into the locker room I'll look for your head in the locker and quietly I'll say, 'Nick I'm here and about to scream so get your head out of the locker so I don't scare you and you hurt yourself." Sara said.

"So who can you not stand?" Nick asked.

"Grissom! He says that he can't do anything about Tara's spy because everyone's working double." Sara replied. "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Griss is doing something about it and is assigning someone to the case." Sara said, looking at Nick.

"Well he won't assign us to the case. We're emotionally involved." He said. "Maybe Catherine... no that wouldn't be a good idea."

"What if Greg is right?" Sara suddenly asked.

"Huh? About what?" Nick replied.

"What if Catherine isn't Tara's spy? What if Mandy is or someone else? She's always wanted you." Sara said.

"Yeah but Tara's the one that wants me not Mandy or whoever the spy is." Nick said.

"What was it that Tara said to you in the game room? When I took Dave from Alicia she's doing this as revenge?" Sara asked.

"Oh uh... Alicia and Dave went out and then Dave started going out with you. Alicia was pissed off so Tara got him back for her but Alicia was still hurting so she wants me for revenge." Nick replied.

"She doesn't want you." Sara said and started laughing. "Either that or she plans on sharing you."

"What are you talking about?" Nick asked.

"She made it look like she and Dave got together back in college but really he went back to Alicia. She's doing the exact same thing for the spy. Making it look like she wants you but really it's the spy." Sara replied. "Well don't worry about it. We have to get our assignments."

The two walked down to the break room and everyone was waiting for them.

"Got a bit sidetracked?" Warrick asked, smirking.

"Haha. We were talking." Sara replied.

"Talking my..." Warrick muttered, the last word incoherent.

"Glad you could join us. Catherine you and Warrick have a DB found a couple miles out of Las Vegas. I'm working with you on that. Sara, Nick you two have a DB in the parking lot of the Monaco." Grissom said, passing the folders to Catherine and Nick.

"Oh it's so good to be back at work and you welcome us home with a dead body. Grissom we thank you." Nick joked. Grissom cracked a small smile.

A/N: There will be more about Nick's stalker... I'm so mean I know. I'm not saying who it is yet though. You guys have to figure it out.
