... Grissom halted as familer sound caught his ear, he dug unto his pocket and gave a triumphant yelp when he brought out his buzzing phone.
"Hello, Nicky?" Grissom asked.
"No, It's Cathrine i was calling to see how things were going." Cathrine's soft voice came over the line, Grissom sighed aggravated.
"I'm sorry?" Cathrine said, feeling a bit rejected after having put up with Ecklie and sara for two days was rattling her verves and she had decided to call the boys and harass them until they agreed to rush back and save her from doing the unbelievable and killing two fellow CSI's.
"No its not you Cathrine Nicks in trouble i was hoping his was calling to tell me where he was." Grissom explained, Cathrine sighed dramatically on her end.
"How does he do it, how does he get into trouble on a vacation?" She asked a smile in her voice.
"I'll ask him when I find him, he witnessed the sheriff kill someone and now said sheriff is trying kill Nick." Grissom answered, they disconnected after she made Grissom swear on everything from the lab to his own life, that he would call her when he found Nick.
"Lets keep going, maybe he's reached help by now." Grissom instructed and they continued on down the trail.
Nick held the phone in his still shaking hand listening to nothing but a busy signal, rolling his eyes he hung it up and joined his hostess in the den of her large house.
"Well, anything?" She asked her tone worrisome now she'd gotten the whole story out of her handsome guest.
"No answer just a busy signal." He sighed and sat down heavily on the sofa Daisy lifted off the floor and came to stand near him, Nick raised his eyebrows and stare at her.
"Hello, daisy." he said in what he hoped was a soothing tone, only to be further shock when the dog lumbered over and sat her head on his knee's he straightened visibly.
"Well, she's never done that before." Sammy breathed as Daisy whined looking up at nick.
"What, two seconds ago you were ready to tear my head off, and now you want me to pet you?" He asked incredulously, Daisy just whined again Nick caved and gently rubbed her head.
"So Nick, this man chasing you, what exactly did you do to make him angry?" Sammy asked, that the only thing she managed to wrestle from him yet.
"I witnessed him kill another man, and now he wants to kill me." Nick said and waited to be kicked out.
"I see and your friends are probably looking for you right now I'll bet." She filled in, Nick sighed and looked down at Daisy who had closed her eyes enjoying the love she was receiving.
"Yeah thats why I'm trying to get through to Grissom, so they can come fin dime and we can get the heck outta here." Nick said.
Grissom and Warrick hurried along the path until they happened upon the broken knife. Grissom knelt down and picked up a piece of the broken metal,grinning.
"Good job Nicky." He said aloud.
"He broke the knife to give himself a better chance of getting out of the woods alive." Warrick guessed, Grissom stood and they moved to leave with a familer sound stopped them, a gun being cocked. Grissom felt cold steel against his neck and froze.
