A/N
Change of chapter title from The Range to Dinner. Will explain at the bottom.
Okay not sure if Bellagio has a underground carport or a big giant parking lot so I'm just gonna go with what I think they have, Sensi overlooking the big pool fountain, or the carport thing. Now I do know Sensi's hours, but we are going to pretend they are open 24 hours and that they have the things that Nick and Jules orders from the menu!
Because I don't want yall guess the perp right off, I'm gonna bounce the story back and forth like I did in nine and this chappy. I want to keep you glorious readers on your toes!
Krysalys73 – I am glad you enjoyed that chappy! Maybe said sicko is going after Nicky and maybe not! chants Not Gonna Tell You! Not telling who the sicko with the dog is until hopefully towards the end, as long as I play my cards right it will be that way.
Chapter 10
Dinner
On the strip Greg, opened the door to the diner, before Sara could.
"Greggo, You're grasping, my friend." Sara said smiling.
"Hey, a man can try can't he?" He asked guiding her to the booth my the window, were they usually sat with the rest of the team.
"So what'd ya have?" He asked
"I can order." She said simply.
"Sara, please. Let me be a gentleman."
"Okay, okay, I'll humor you, but don't get too use to it." She said giving in.
"Will do!" He said.
"Sooo?" He added
"Oh, ah how bout pancakes, whole wheat toast, OJ and coffee." She said leaning back in her seat.
"Ya know, It'll kill ya!" he said with his signature goofy grin, walking up to the front to order their food. Sara just looked down, trying to suppress a smile.
Nick walked around to the other size of the car, opening the door for Jules.
"Thank ya Babe!" She said taking the hand Nick offered, helping her out of the Tahoe.
"You're welcome, but are you sure you don't want to just go to my place and completely skip dinner?" He said in a hopeful voice.
"Yes, Why let you get all gussied up, and then not go anywhere to show you off? Huh? And besides I'm hungry." She said as they walked to the bank of elevators that would take them from the carport to the lobby where Sensi was located. Nick had made reservations a week ago to ensure they would get a table by the window so they could watch the fountain. That was one thing in Vegas that Jules never got tired of seeing, the water and the lights.
"Welcome to Sensi, my name is Jaques, how can I help you this glorious afternoon?" the exuberant maitre' de said in an almost too cheery of a voice.
"Reservations for Stokes, also we requested a table by the window by the fountain pool." Nick said. The maitre' de then looked up their name in the book, confirming the reservations and that had indeed requested a west side table in front of the Bellagio pool.
"Ah yes Mr. Stokes, we have a very nice table for you just over here. If you will follow me." the maitre 'de said, picking up menus, motioning for the couple to follow him.
"I believe you will find this table to be very nice and to your taste." He added when they reached the table. Pulling the chair out for Jules Nick motioned for her to sit, the chair of course was facing the pool.
"Yes, thank you." Nick said sitting in his own seat. The maitre de' stepped back enough so the two could see him, softly bringing his hands together then rubbing them together, he then asked.
"May perhaps I bring you some bread and wine while you look over your menus?"
"Yes please, and a bottle of Bordeaux" Nick said
"Of course sir." The maitre 'de said with a pleasant smile
"Okay, I think we already know what we are having?" Nick said looking over at Jules, who smiled and nodded with emphasis. They had already talked about it on ride over. Hell it was one of the things they talked about just after they met. If they ever went to one of the expensive restaurants at the Bellagio, they would get the lobster.
"We want two of your Maine Lobster dinners, with everything included." Nick said smiling right back at Jules.
"Very good sir, I will return momentarily with your wine and breads." the maitre 'de said then stepping away leaving the couple to tease back and forth about being in a beautiful restaurants .
He watched the two banter back and forthand eat their meals until his CSI reached for the cell phone clipped to their belt.
"Hey Rick, uh yeah I'm kinda busy right now, but about tomorrow, let me think about and I'll get back to ya." Nick said after Warrick suggested that they meet up for beer tonight then again tomorrow for the Dallas Chicago Monday night football game. Already fully knowing who would win. Chicago of course!
"Yeah, talk to ya later. Bye" He shut his phone just as their bill arrived.
Shutting her phone, Sara placed it on the table.
"That was Blake" She said eating another forkful of pancakes.
"Blake? What did he want?" Greg asked
"What he always wants. Money" she said curtly
"Man your brother is something else. He is always hitting you up for money." He said with scorn dripping from his voice.
"Yeah well what can I do? I mean I'm the only family he has left. That will acknowledge him anyways." She said draining the remainder of her orange juice.
"I don't like him. You need to find yourself a new brother." Greg said sliding out of the booth.
"Well ain't we cranky? You ready to go and fill some targets full of lead?" She said pulling her purse from the far end of the booth. Swiping the bill off the table before Greg could, she looked at it and proceeded to pull bills from her wallet, throwing five on the table for tip.
"Hey! I'm the guy. I'm supposed to pay!" Greg whined, walking up to the cashier with Sara.
"Sorry Greggo, but I told you earlier, this was my treat." She said handing their bill to the cashier along with some money.
"But-" he started to say, but was interrupted by Sara.
"Don't argue with me. You will not win." she said with a smile. Greg pouted
"Fine!" Greg huffed as they walked out to his VW. They had agreed to drive to range in his car then come back for hers. Then giving her a sly look as they climbed into the car.
"Full of lead huh?" He teased starting the engine.
"Hey! Blake pissed me off! I have the distinct feeling I'm going to well tonight!" she laughed.
"Scary…" he said simply. Then added
"Remind me never to piss you off."
"Will do." She said with a grin.
"Ahh, ya know, you can't fill shooting range targets full of lead. You always get through and throughs. You can fill them full of holes, but not full of lead." He said matter-of-factly
"Greg" she said looking over at him
"Yeah?"
"Drive"
"Alright." He said pulling out of Squgglies parking lot.
A/N
Okay, this chapter was considerably shorter than the last one. Only because I still have to write the whole shooting range thing and I am playing around with the idea of a sex scene, not sure because I'm not good writing them. Plus my ass is tired! It's five in the morning, I wanted to get this done and out so yall could have it with your morning coffee! So enjoy and don't forget R&R! Thanks again to all my loyal reviewers!
