Nick watched Sara walk down the hallway towards Grissom's office. He hated to hide his emotions at work, but Ecklie was prowling the lab looking for reasons to punish the night shift. Sara soon exited Grissom's office and went into the DNA lab.
There was a loud crash, followed by a "Fuck." Nick leapt from the chair he was sitting in, and ran to see what happened. Sara's hand was sliced wide open, and she was staring at her hand blindly. Nick wrapped her hand with his and yelled for someone to call an ambulance. Calmly, Sara said "Why does the world like to fuck with me?" her voice steeled with anger, frustration. Just then, Ecklie slithered into entered the lab.
"Well, well, Sidle. What happened now? Maybe you should take some time off. After all, your hormones are all out of whack." Ecklie hissed.
If Sara's hand hadn't been bleeding, it would have connected squarely with his nose. Anger flashed in Sara's eyes, and fortunately for Ecklie, the paramedics had shown up. Fourteen stitches later, Sara met Nick in the lobby of Desert Palm.
"Shift's over. Lets head home. You've been here for four hours!" Nick said, holding Sara's arm gently, leading her out of the building. Nick drove towards Sara's apartment. He stopped and picked up some breakfast sandwiches for them. Sara reached for the doorknob, wincing feeling the sharp sting of pain when she grabbed it. Nick flopped down on the couch, and Sara joined him. They finished breakfast, and curled against each other. Sara's cell rang.
"Sidle." Sara answered grimacing.
"Hi Sara, its Grissom. How are you doing?" Grissom queried.
"I'm okay. But I'm tired. See you at work tonight."
"Actually. I won't. You are going to have to take the night off." Grissom explained sympathetically.
"Fine. See you tomorrow Griss." Against her wishes, Sara was being forced to take the night off. Why not use this to her advantage. Sara grinned evilly, and lead Nick into her bedroom. Sara pushed Nick into her bed, and straddled his hips. He slipped his shirt off, and she kissed her way down his chest.
