Brian pulled nick out of the ambulance and set him on his feet. Nick looked around him self, they were in a neighborhood, the house was huge at least twelve room he was shoved inside and down a flight of stairs through door way in the kitchen brains tossed him to the cold floor and left him there shivering. Firs thing nick did was tear that dang tape of his mouth, the next thing he did was try and find a way out of the cold basement.
An hour later he still hadn't found a way out yet and Brian was coming back down stairs.
"Well I see you made yourself comfortable." Brian looked him over and frowned deeply his brows knitting together in worry.
"What happened to you?" He asked nick blinked unsure how to answer that.
"Two patients jumped me in my own room." He answered carefully, Brian set down a tray and nick looked over its contents and then back up at Brian.
"What with the nursing act, thought you didn't like me." Nick asked, Brian smiled and nick lifted hi eyes brows.
"I'm not a real orderly I'm an FBI agent, I've been under cover for a few months but it looks I'll be going home sooner then we thought thanks to you." He explained nick mouths hit the floor with a resounding thud.
"Are you serious?" Nick asked. okay maybe he wasn't in as much trouble as he thought.
"Dead serious now get over here and it down so I can have a look at your face, or what's left of it anyway." Brian motioned towards a chair and nick sat down still a bit leery of the overbearing gorilla man. Brian was gentle in cleaning the worst of the wounds but Nick still hissed as he applied the peroxide.
"Sorry, I'm no nurse but I'm the best you got for now." Brian apologized.
"So what happens now?" Nick asked the question that had been biting at him for the last few minutes.
"Well Jacobs is on his was here right now to finish the job on you, then he plans to take off the batter parts the world, but if the nurse gave you buddy Grissom the right information he should be speeding his way here right now.
"So how long did you know I was undercover?" Nick asked smiling a bit.
"Since you uncle showed up, I know Grissom from a case he worked with an agent I know, a recognized his face and knew you must be with him." Brian told him, Nick nodded slowly taking in it all in.
"Colpepper." Nick said quietly.
"Yep, there you done at least you look a little more human." The words were barely out of his mouth when they heard a door up stairs slam. Nick froze and Brian lifted himself up and went up the stairs.
"He's waiting doc." He brain voice say and then two sets of foot steps came down the stairs; Nick swallowed hard and stood up form the chair his legs shaking.
"Well, I see you've managed o clean yourself up." Jacobs said placing a hand on Nicks cheeks Nick jerked away form the touch and backed up a step.
"Don't you ever touch me again!" He warned his eyes throwing sparks at the man.
"Oh don't be so defensive I'm that kind of guy. How did you manage to clean up?" Jacobs asked, Nick swallowed hard and let his eyes trial to the tray of bloody bandages.
"I found the supplies in a box down here." Nick covered quickly looking aver at Brian who stood sneering on the stars. He gave nick a quick wink and returned to scowling.
"A box huh? Brian get rid of our little friend here and then join me up stairs." Jacobs turned to find Brian leering at him and the business end a of a police issue hand gun in his face. Nick let relief roll through him and he collapsed into the chair again to shaky to stand much longer. Brian tied up Jacobs and then turned back to Nick who sat staring at the floor.
"Hey Stokes, think you can get up the stairs with some help?" Brain asked, Nick nodded and taking proffered hand made his way up stairs and into the living room, where he feel onto the sofa and lay back. He heard the distant sound of doors slamming outside and sat up blinking.
"Sound like your friend are here." Brian told him he went to the door and opened it to allow them entrance Brass made to arrest him pulling out cuffs.
"Brass wait he's a good gorilla." Nick joked smiling to see just about the whole night shift standing in the living room.
"Who are you calling gorilla, Chimp" Brian fired back.
"Well, I see you made anew friend, who are you?" Grissom asked facing said gorilla.
"Special agent Drum." He introduced.
"Of course you are." Grissom said glaring at brass.
"What I didn't know he was there." Brass defended Nick laughed.
"Guys could we just get the heck out of dodge please?" He asked every one looked him and started arguing again Nick just fell back o the sofa and closed his eyes.
How's that for a twist ending?
