"Where's Grissom?" Sara said to Nick as she looked at her watch as they waited at the terminal of the airport

"I don't know. He said he would be here at 8:30. Maybe he got stuck in traffic." Nick said as he paced in front of Sara

"Hey Sara, Nick" Grissom said as he walked towards them

"Hey Grissom, where have you been? We're almost about to board." Sara said

"I was making sure Kate was on our flight."

"Where is she?" Nick said he picked up his and Sara's bags

"She said she was going to get a magazine for the plane and not to bother waiting for her, that she would meet us when we're in Vegas."

"Now boarding, rows 28-34" A women from the terminal announced of the P.A. system

"That's me," Grissom said as he picked up his bag and started to walk to the gate

"Now boarding, rows 20-28" The same women announced

"That us" Nick said as he started to walk towards the gate with their bags in tow

"So I guess we'll see this 'Kate' in Vegas then." Sara said as she walked next to Nick and then handed their tickets to the women standing next to the gate, and then boarded the plane.

"Middle or aisle?" Nick said as he approached row 26

"Middle" Sara said as she went pass Nick to her seat as Nick placed their bags in the overhead compartment

"What time is it?" Sara said looking to Nick

"9:15, they should be done boarding soon and then we'll leave."

"Excuse me, that's my seat" a young brunette women said as she pointed to the window seat next Sara

"Ooh" Sara said as she moved to allow the young women to pass

"Attention everyone, we're now leaving Los Angeles and we are now approaching take-off for Las Vegas, Nevada" One of the flight attendants said of the P.A. systems

"Hi, I'm Sara Sidle, are you visiting Vegas?" Sara said to the women next to her

"Hi, I'm Kate, Kate Leonard" the women said as she shook Sara's hand. "Actually, I'm starting a new job in Vegas"

"Really?" Sara said and the women shook her head "Nick" Sara said as she turned around to face Nick

"Yeah, Sara"

"This is Kate" She replied directing Nick's attention to the women sitting next to her

"Like Kate, working at CSI, Kate?" Nick said surprised

"How do you know about that?" Kate replied meekly surprised that these two complete strangers knew this much about her

"Hi, I'm Nick Stokes. Sara and I work at the CSI lab. Grissom told us that you were coming to work in the DNA lab so Greg could work in field."

"Hi, Grissom said that I would be meeting some of his co-workers today. I just didn't think I would be sitting next to them." Kate said now very interested in Nick and Sara.

"I bet Grissom did this on purpose" Sara said realizing the situation.

"You're probably right." Nick said

"Kate, do you have any questions about Vegas?

"Yeah, I've got a few. Well first, can you tell me about yourselves and the rest of the shift? So at least I'll have a slight chance of recognizing everybody."

"Sure, we'll first you have Grissom, who is the supervisor, which you've already met." Sara replied

"Okay, I got that, what about everyone else."

"Then you've got me and Sara; then Catherine, who has a daughter; Warrick; and then Greg." Nick said now replying to the question

"Grissom, Catherine, you, and you" Kate said pointing to Nick and Sara, while also counting on her fingers. "Warrick and Greg. Is that the whole night shift?"

"Mostly, so Kate tell us about yourself" Nick chimed in

"I'm Kate Marie Leonard, I went to college in California, umm… studied DNA analyzing, so that is really my main thing I deal with. I've never have been out of California, which means I've never been to Las Vegas, so I'm a little nervous about that."

"Kate, I felt the same way when I came here. I'm for San Francisco. Luckly, I had Nick to show me around town." Sara said smiling to Nick. "Kate can I ask you a question?"

"Sure" Kate replied not sure where this was going or what she was going to ask

"Are you single, I mean are you seeing anyone?"

"No, why?

"We'll there is Greg back at the lab, who is single, and while since I had Nick to show me around. I was thinking maybe Greg could take you out and show you around."

"Wow, I've known you guys for almost an hour and you are already setting me up on a date."

"We are working together now" Nick said with a laugh

"Sure, I'll love to go out with Greg. But first, why do you think we should got out?"

"Well, he's funny, sweet, smart, and a great guy. Actually, he is the one who got me and Nick together."

"He sounds fun. I can't wait to meet him. You said he got you and Nick together? Kate said now really interested in Greg

"Yeah, he convinced Nick to ask me to come with him to this conference." Sara told Kate

"Greg sounds great. Is he excited about going into the field?"

"Yeah he is, but the thing is, he doesn't know you are coming. He doesn't know that he has a replacement. He is suppose to be picking all of us up from the airport, so you'll be able to meet him then."

"May I have your attention, we are now descending in to Las Vegas. We should be arriving in 10 minutes. Hope you enjoyed your flight. Thank you." A man announce over the plane's PA system

"Wow this flight went by fast." Nick said as he looked over at Kate and Sara

"Yeah it did." Sara said as she intertwined her right hand with Nick

"Are you excited?" Nick said questioning Kate

"Yeah, I'm just really excited to just have a job and I'm a little excited to see Greg. You really sold me on him, Sara."

"Really" Sara said excited that she was going to win her bet against Nick, but also that she really liked Kate and was glad that maybe she could find Greg a girlfriend.

"Yeah"
