"Here is our room" Nick said as he pulled open a door and let Sara walk in first
"I guess it is" Sara said as she walked in. "How many people are coming?"
"I don't know, I guess anyone who wants to show and see us" Nick said as he walked around the room. "If people are coming they should be here any minute, it's almost 10 right now" Nick said as he sat down next to Sara who was sitting on the edge of the stage
"How many people do you actually think are going to come?" Sara said as she turned to face Nick
"I don't know a few I guess, and some people will probably come because their supervisor told them to. I don't know really; we are the #2 lab in the country, maybe some people need advice" Nick said as he looked out to the rest of the room
"You're probably right" Sara said, as she looked straight out to the other side of the room
"I guess we'll get started, I'm Nick Stokes and this is my lovely co-worker Sara Sidle" Nick said as he faced the audience now sitting on a chair still on the stage. Since they arrived about 13 people came and now were sitting in seats surrounding the stage. They all were between the ages of 22-45, Nick guessed. "I guess I'll start by telling you about our lab. We work in Las Vegas at their lab, which is the #2 lab in the country, which we are proud of. We work the night shift. Our supervisor is Gil Grissom. We also work with Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, and Greg Sanders; who are all great CSI's and great people in general." "I guess now we will answer questions that you guys have"
"Hi, my name is Dan Silver, I was wondering how you guys came to Vegas." A man said who was in the audience. Nick looked at Sara to see if she was going to answer. He gave her a slight nod telling her she should answer. She got what he was trying to say.
"I was asked to come to Las Vegas, when one of the pervious CSI's died. I was a former student of Gil Grissom and he asked me to come and work for him."
"Is there any other questions?" Nick said looking out to the audience still sitting in his chair
Nick and Sara answered questions for the next half an hour. People's questions ranged from what was their favorite kind of cases to what cases they never thought they would close. Once everyone was finished asking questions everyone left except for Nick and Sara still remained in their seats.
"That went well," Sara said turning to Nick
"Yeah it did" Nick said
"What do you want to do now?" Sara said standing up from the chair
"Why don't we go the shops nearby" Nick said standing up next to Sara
"That sounds great" Sara said smiling to Nick and then grabbing his hand
"This store looks cool lets go inside" Nick said as he pointed to a store that was next to them
"Nick, I didn't know you were the avid shopper," Sara said with a smile
"Yes, I guess I am. But really, this place looks like a cool souvenir shop and I promised Greg I would get him something," Nick said as he walked in to the store with Sara right behind him
"Why Greg?" Sara said with a laugh
"He is the one who told me to believe that I had a chance with you" Nick said with a smile as he grabbed Sara's hand as he walked around the store. The store had tons of stuff that read Los Angeles. As Nick looked around for something for Greg, Sara just followed him and was thinking about what Nick just said. It was Greg who she needed to thank. She always knew Greg was great but this time he really out did himself.
"This is cool" Nick said as he picked up this button up shirt that was all different colors
"Yeah it is; Greg would love it. Nick I have a question." Sara said Nick turned to face her
"What is it?" Nick said wondering what was on Sara's mind
"Are you serious that Greg is the one who convinced you to ask me out?" Sara said as she looked at Nick wondering what his response would be
"Yeah, I have to give credit where credit is due" Nick said as he smiled at Sara
"I always knew Greg was here for a reason," Sara said as she looked at the shirt
"Yup, that guy is a great guy. I owe him all the thanks in the world"
"So do I; but the shirt will do for now." Sara said with a laugh
"Yeah it will" Nick said as he walked to the register
"Do you want to go get an ice cream?" Nick said to Sara after awhile of shopping
"Yeah, I'd love that" Sara said as she gave Nick a smile
"Great" Nick said as he opened the door for Sara to an ice cream shop
"What are you going to get? I can't decide." Nick said looking at all the different kinds of ice cream
"I think I am going to get chocolate chip cookie dough. I haven't had that in such of a long time"
"That sounds good I think I'm going to get that too," Nick said
"Nick what time is it" Sara said as her and Nick walked back to the hotel.
"Almost seven-thirty. Why?" Nick said putting his arm around Sara
"I was thinking about calling our matchmaker and see what's up." Sara said with a smile
"I bet he'd love to hear from us" Nick said while he kept walking with Sara
With that said, Sara pulled out her phone and dialed Greg's number.
"Sanders"
"Hi Greg" Sara said almost laughing by the way he answered his phone
"Hi Sara, what's up? Is Nick being a jerk and you need me to go kick his butt?" Greg said on the other end of the phone. Sara started to laugh.
"No, Nick is being the perfect gentlemen" Sara said giving Nick a smile," I called to tell you thank you"
"Why?" Greg said wondering what she was talking about
"For telling Nick to ask me out" Sara said to Greg
"Sara is Nick there?" Greg said in a fake angry tone
Sara handed over the phone to Nick. Nick just laughed.
"Yes, Greg" Nick said with a laugh
"Dude, why did you tell her? She was suppose to think that this was all your great idea" Greg said wanting to know why Nick told her about him
"She asked and I thought maybe you wanted the credit. What if I tell you that she now thinks very highly of you." Nick said simply
"Really?" Greg said surprised
"Yeah" Nick said smiling over the fact how Greg reacted to everything "What's up at work?"
"Nothing, it is really slow" Greg responded
"How are Catherine and Warrick?" Nick said as they stopped at an intersection
"I quote Catherine 'I hope Grissom is having a good vacation because he won't be having another one in awhile, I'm tired of doing his paperwork besides my job'" Greg said with a laugh. Nick laughed.
"What is so funny?" Sara said wanting to know why Nick was laughing
Nick held his hand over the phone and said "Catherine is tired of doing Grissom's work that he left her"
"That's Catherine" Sara laughed
"What's up with Warrick?" Nick said continuing his conversation with Greg
"Nothing, I bet he wishes, he had the luck you do; on vacation with a girl you like so much"
"Hey, what about you? You don't have a girl either" Nick replied back to Greg as he and Sara continue their walk back to the hotel.
"True, but I bet I'll get a girl before he does" Greg said with a great deal of confidence
"I'll hold you to that" Nick said with a laugh
"I'm telling ya, I will"
"We'll see Greggo" Nick said as he opened the door for Sara as they entered the entrance of the hotel. "Greg I'll talk to you later, I don't want to keep you, so you're not able to get your girl."
"Okay, talk to later Nick. Tell Sara I said bye too and that if you give her any problems I'll come there and beat you up." Greg said mockly serious.
"Okay, I'll tell her. Talk to ya later, Greg. Bye."
"Bye" Greg said and then hung up the phone.
While Nick was finishing up his conversation with Greg, Sara leaned up against the wall that was between the main doors and the doors to the lobby. This trip was amazing and she was so happy that everything that happened did. She was a little surprised that Greg was behind everything. Now she felt she really owed Greg and she wondered how she could repay him.
"How is everything going in Vegas?" Sara said as Nick put his phone on his waistband.
"Good, Greg was telling me how he is going to get a girl before Warrick." Nick said as he leaned up against the wall next to Sara.
"I'm a little hungry, do want to get something to eat in the restaurant?" Nick said as he moved from his position on the wall to standing in front of Sara
"Sure" Sara said as Nick opened the door for her, then followed her though the door.
