Author's Note: Sorry about that cliff hanger and making you wait this long for the next chapter. This one is going to be a shocker and another (:gasps:) cliffhanger. It's not as bad as the last one I promise. Again, thank you for reading this far and those who have reviewed thank you.

Hopeless-Savage – Sorry about the cliffhanger (I've said that a lot) I have to throw one in every once in awhile; or, nearly every chapter. Some aren't bad, like this one; some are. Anyways, thank you for your reviews.

"Nick, what was that all about?" Sara said, in shock, at what had just happened.

"I don't' know, I'm sorry" Nick said sincerely, though he had enjoyed it.

Just then he leaned in kissed her again. She didn't know what was going on with her. She had Grissom but she kissed back and kept on kissing him. Maybe it was the Texan feel of him that made him irresistible to her. In the back of her mind she knew this was wrong, very wrong but, she couldn't stop. He was like a drug; and she had gotten an incredible high. They sat in the back and, pretty much, had their fun all early morning long. Well, until they heard a car door slam shut, and she was sure he was going to see. At least they'd been lying down or he definitely would have seen quite a little show.

"Nick, put your shirt and pants back on. I think Warrick is here." Sara never thought she'd tell some one as nice looking as Nick to put his clothes back on.

"A little backseat action, huh?" Warrick said jokingly knowing it wasn't true, even though it was.

"No we just go back here because it was more comfortable." Sara said, knowing that was the original reason but, it'd turned into so much more.

"That's what they all say, Sara" Warrick said joking, again.

Sara became quite nervous. Could he know something? Did he see something? If he did, would he tell before I get the chance?

"Well just don't…" She stopped right there, it probably wasn't the best thing to be spilling he was probably just bluffing anyways.

"Just don't what, Sara?" Warrick said this had caught his attention.

"Oh, nothing, it was a joke." Sara said to her defense.

"I'll call a tow truck to pick up your car Sara, so you two hop in mine and don't be getting too frisky in the backseat."

Sara laughed it off to try and hide what they'd done though it would be impossible she wanted to prolong people not knowing as long as possible. The whole ride back to the lab was pretty quiet with the exception of Warrick's singing. He actually sang quite nice so she didn't mind, Nick was the one who couldn't sing but, neither could she.

"Thanks Warrick." Sara said as she walked into the lab.

When she walked in it seemed as if he was awaiting her return; he being Ecklie, the jerk of all jerks.

"Well hello you two. Give up on Grissom did you Sara?" He asked in his usual smug way.

"No, me and Nick were at the address of the house where that little boy lived and then we went to get some breakfast since we were long overdue for a break when we left it was pouring rain and I had to take a detour." Sara said trying to be just as smug.

"So, that doesn't mean you should be that late coming back"

"Well, I saw some shards of glass and a nail in the road and swerved to miss it which got my SUV stuck in mud."

"Try and be more careful next time. I don't want you to be late." Ecklie said in a cold manner before turning to walk away.

"Well I see how caring he is." Sara said to Nick who stood there, blankly.

"Hodges got anything for us?" Sara said as she turned into the lab.

"Well, you know being friendly to me wouldn't hurt you." Hodges said.

"But, it's not going to help anything either." She said back in a harsh tone

"It could get you lab results quicker."

"How so, my evidence goes on priority when there aren't any other cases that need to be processed right away?"

"Yea and all you have to do is be nice; quite a deal, really."

"Or I could just take my evidence to Greg instead."

"But he's out in the field a lot"

"Well there are other lab techs"

"Well can you just, please, be nice to me?"

"I'll try" Sara said looking behind her to see that Nick had already left.

He was probably avoiding spend much time with Hodges, since they all doubted his being straight and suspected him of liking Nick.

"Well have you processed the syrup like liquid found on the vic's hand?" Sara asked

"It's nothing really, just standard Karo Corn Syrup."

"Thanks Hodges."

"See Sara, being nice to me isn't going to kill you."

She gave him a quick smile and walked out going toward the layout room, otherwise known as Nick's office during graveyard shift.

"Greg!" she screamed when she passed by the locker room.

"You're back, I missed you"

"I wasn't gone very long" Greg said confused.

"Well without you I had to rely on Hodges to process evidence"

"Oh, I understand now, he doesn't like me very much at all"

"He's jealous. Everyone here likes you and we all are like a family and no one really talks to him."

"True" Greg said walking off.

There wasn't much time left in her shift so Sara walked down to Nick's office, sooner or later they had to talk about what had happened.

"Nick, you got a minute?" Sara asked stepping into his office.

"Yea, Sara, need to talk about something?"

"Yea." Sara said softly while closing the door. "About what happened today, no one can know about that except me and you."

"No problem Sara, it's safe with me."

"Why did you do that?"

"I just saw you there and I don't know what took over but all I wanted was you."

"So, you kissed me; basically shoving your tongue down my throat and pinning me down against the seat knowing that I'm in a relationship with Grissom?"

"Yea, but I had no control. It was like I was in high school all over again, raging hormones."

"Learn to control them and don't let it happen again."

"I have one question though. Did you enjoy it?"

"I can't say I didn't because that would be a lie." Sara said; blushing a bit and wishing she hadn't admitted it.

"Of course, I'm from Texas; hot, sexy, and irresistible." Nick said.

Sara loved his sense of humor. She did, at one point, have some feelings for him but, realized that he was only meant to be a friend. Now she wasn't quite sure what to think anymore.

"Well, I, uh, am going to go talk to Greg." Sara said nervously as she walked towards the lab, where Greg was.

"Hi, Sara. Need something?" Greg asked.

"Some one to talk to."

"Well, what do you need to talk about?"

"I don't know I just need to talk."

"Ok, uh, how was your shift?"

"It was okay."

"Details"

"Uh, well me and Nick went to where the boy lived and talked to the mother and grandmother then went to breakfast and while we were there it started pouring down rain and I had to take a detour and on the road I saw a few glass shards and a nail so I swerved and got the SUV stuck in the mud."

"Ah, well I've heard from the grapevine that you and Nick got into a little something in the backseat."

"We laid there and waited for Warrick"

"More like you laid… Never mind, I'm not going to say it."

"That'd probably be a good thing."

"Are you sure nothing between you two came about?"

Sara then backed him into a corner and made sure no one could hear.

"Whoa, Sara feeling a little frisky again, are you?"

"No, I was going to tell you but, not now."

"Wait, wait I'm sorry."

"Okay look he, uh, pinned me down on the seat and shoved his tongue down my throat and, yes, we did do this for a while."

"That does not sound like the Sara I know. You'd never even think about kissing me and especially on shift; and I'm way better looking than Nick. Just look at this body."

"Greg, dream on."

"Trust me, Sara, I will."

"Of course you will Greg that's what you do." Sara said

"All you can do." She muttered, quickly, under her breath

"Hey, you know, now you're pretty much in debt to me because I know about what you and Nick did."

"And I know what you said about Catherine."

"Okay we're even; just don't tell anyone anything. Please." Greg pleaded

"I won't as long as you won't."

'Crap, why did I tell Greg? It's Greg, of all people but, I guess he's the least likely to say anything.'

Sara rushed into the locker room and quickly got her stuff and left.

"Now what was that all about?" Catherine said to Nick who was standing in her office.

"I have no clue."

"Come on you do and, I know it. You were the last one who spent a long amount of time with Sara so, something must have gone on."

"Nope, not at all"

"Yea, right; did you forget that I'm a mom? I have a daughter who's about to be thirteen I know something went on."

"Catherine, nothing happened" Nick said irritated; he knew she knew something.

Or was she just bluffing? Either way he wasn't saying a thing or, at least that was his plan.

So, did ya'll like it? I tried to throw in a twist and that was it, though there will be more maybe not as big of a twist as that but, definitely something for a cliffhanger. He, he… Make sure to give me a review. Thanks. : )
