Grissom came into the break room the next night to find nick dozing lightly leaned on the table his head cushioned by his arms. He watched for a moment until Warrick walked in, Grissom looked up at him and smiled.
"Warrick do know if Nicks has been missing any sleep?" Grissom asked. Warrick shrugged pouring some coffee into a cleaning looking mug and trend to stare at his best bud. Nick slept on unaware of the eyes watching him; he's been so tired from a fitful sleep the day before that he sat down intending to rest only for a few seconds and had simply dozed off.
"I don't know but, have you noticed how edgy he is around Ally?" Warrick asked, Nick stirred but, continued the snooze.
"I guess we should wake him up." Grissom pointed out, Warrick gentle shook Nicks shoulder, it had the desired affect; Nick sat up looking around unsure for a minute where he was.
"Huh, oh sorry Gris, I haven't been sleeping well." Nick confessed, he wasn't going to deny that after have been caught sleeping on shift.
"Well, try and get some more rest after this shift okay?" Grissom suggested, Nick nodded yawning and took the proffered cup of hot coffee.
"Warrick tells me you uncomfortable around Ally, why?" Grissom questioned, Nick through the man a look.
"No reason I just get a weird vibe from her." He lied, okay it was half of lie really, the truth is that vibe is a big one, and he wanted to stay as far from her as possible.
"You're sure there's nothing you want to tell me?" Grissom tried again, Nick just blinked at him, unsure weather he was telling him that he knew about ally or that he was just fishing.
"Nope everything's peachy." Nick plastered a fake smile on his face and sipped his coffee as everyone else filed in Ally sidled up next to nick bumping him and nearly dropping his coffee into his lap.
"Careful." Nick growled and turned his head to look at her, His face went pale and he squirmed in the chair. Grissom watched the exchange and nodded. He had suspected that ally was some how getting at Nicky, but obviously Nick wasn't going to admit to it.
"Okay people assignments, Warrick, Sara a DB at fifth and main, Greg, Catherine robbery gone bad at a coffee shop on east and gremian, Nick Ally you with me we have a suspicious sercs a roller skating rink in down town." Grissom watched them file out Nick had yet to move he just staring at Grissom as if he'd killed his dog right in front of him, Nick felt his insides twist painfully. Nick finally managed to move his body move and dumping his cold coffee went to meet Grissom outside.
Unfortunately he didn't find Grissom he found Ally, grinning and waiting by the truck, Great my worst nightmare is really happening a I'm stuck with Miss Loony tunes for an entire case.
"Hey hot stuff, what shaking?" Ally asked, Nick ignored her and going around on the other side leaned against the passenger door. Ally followed him and pressed close to him he pressed himself closer to the truck
"Get off of me now!" Nick demanded pushing her away, Ally got this look on her face that sacred Nick she looked more then just dissed, she looked ready to rip his head off.
"Nick is that anyway to treat you girlfriend?" She asked he eyes practically glowing; Nick swallowed hard and glared back.
"We are not together." He said his tone even and yet commanding. Ally glanced towards the door as Grissom walked out but, he wasn't paying them any attention she leapt at Nick planting a kiss in his lips nick grunted and tried to pull away she released him when Grissom was in earshot, she smacked him cause nicks head to rocket left he shook at the cobwebs and looked around at her.
'She really is batty..." He thought.
"How dare you." She yelled loud enough for everyone in the county to hear her Nick looked around and saw Grissom staring at them.
'Or she incredibly smart.' He thought rubbing his cheek.
"Nick what's going on?" Grissom asked Ally grinned evilly and turned to face him looking distraught.
"He's harassing me that what's going on." She screamed Grissom cringed and rubbed his ears.
