Warrick, Sara, Catherine and Gil, all sat in the break room waiting for Nick to arrive after he never showed up to the scene

"Have you tried his pager or his cell phone again" Sara asked beginning to worry " I mean, maybe we should try again"

"He said he was twenty minutes away where could he be?" Gil shook his head looking over at Catherine

"Well, all we can do is wait, the only case we had tonight was open and shut" Catherine responded

"It's just weird that he would blow us off like that after he said he was coming something must be wrong" Warrick said as Brass walked in to the room

Sara could tell instantly something was wrong " Brass what is it" she asked with a demanding tone

Gil looked up at the man who was now standing over him

"It's Nick he was in an accident and he is being rushed to Desert Palms"

Sara quickly jumped out of her chair and was out of the room before anyone could respond.

The four sat outside of Nicks's room while the doctor examined him for the second time since he had been brought in.

"Well Mr. Stokes I would say you are extremly lucky," Thank you doctor" Nick whispered as he walked out and his friends walked in

Sara reached his side first " Oh god" she whispered when she saw his bruises " what happened?"

"Nick you had us worried what the hell happend to you" Catherine called as she sat next to Sara

"Yeah man, we heard your speedometer was stuck in place and it was full out, when Gil said he wanted you to get there he did not mean almost get yourself killed by going full speed"

"I wasn't speeding to get to the secene" Nick said as he tried to slowly sit up " It's was so weird, I hung up from talking to Gil and I turned on the radio and then there was this car witht no head lights on so, I did what anyone decent person would do and I flashed my lights at him"

"No way" Warrick cut him off " You flashed to him, have you never read the paper, most people would think it is the decent thing to do but back in 93, there was this big freak out about people flashing their lights because gang members used it as some kind of initiation or something, no one in their right mind flashes anyone aanymore"

Nick made a face at Warrick and continued his story " anyway this guy driving makes a u turn in the road and speeds after me like he is trying to run me off the road, but he never hit's me, so I can't slow down because he will nail me right so I speed up and then his high beams are on and he's going nuts with is horn and the next thing I know I am being cut out of my seat and ruhsed here"

The four of them sat back and stared at Nick as if he had just told a fireside story

"I'm not lying guys and I was not drunk if that is what you think, that is exactly how it happened so don't look at me like that, I don't need it right now"

"Sorry" Gil whispered "it's just well.. I don't know I'm not good with these situations"

"Five minutes guys" the nurse called from the door way

"Well Nick" Sara stood up " I will be back in the morning to see you, just get some rest"

The four said their goodbye and congragated in the parking lot

"Well" Warrick was the first to speak "What do you guy's think?"

"I can't think right now" Catherine began " I just want to go to sleep, but we still have four hours of shift left. she said climbing into Gils tahoe.

"Hey Guys" Sara called before she climbed into hertahoe " I am going to go home, I am not feeling the greatest and now I am a little worried about Nick so something comes up just callme I will be at home plus my friend is in town and it is my last night to see her and I did ask for it off"

Gil smiled at her "Okay , we'll call if we need you" he called climbing in to the drivers seat

"Why does she get to go home?" Catherine whined as they drove off back to the lab and Sara drove home
