Nick came into Grissom's office with Alex in tow their hands interlocked, he waited for Grissom to notice them, he didn't have to wait long, Grissom's Billy bob bass piped up over the door, and Grissom looked up at them.

"Hey nick aren't you suspended for a week?" Grissom asked. Nick cleared his throat and moved closer into the room

"Yeah, Um we need to talk." Nick said, and waited.

"Can you call the others too?" He asked.

"Sure just a minute." Nick waited until every one crowded in the room to speak.

"Okay, umm you all know about what happen between me and Ally last week, but what you don't know is everything that she's been doing for the past month." Nick began and marched into a long winded explanation about the harassment and the threats to both their lives. When he finished the room stayed quiet as they each took it in.

"Why didn't you come to me or Catherine, the first time she threw herself at you?" Grissom asked.

"I do have a little pride left, I thought I could handle it on my own. Obviously I was wrong." Nick admitted.

"Well, you'll have to file a report with Ecklie weather or not you press charges against her." Grissom told him, Nick nodded and felt a reassuring pressure on his hand, he looked over at Alex and smiled.

"In the meantime try to stay away from her if that not possible go away for the week and let things blow over, and who's your new friend?" Catherine asked, Nick smiled over at her.

"Every one this is Alex, Alex this is Warrick, Greg, Catherine, Sara, and my boss Grissom." Nick introduced they exchanged greetings.

"You know Nick my uncle Charlie lives here in Nevada, up north on a horse ranch he invited me up whenever I wanted to, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we hide out up there." Alex offered.

"You sure about that?" Nick asked, Alex smiled and nodded.

"Wouldn't have mentioned it if I didn't think it would be okay, he'd love the company." Alex relied, Nick nodded and they rose to leave.

"Nick be careful, and keep in touch." Grissom spoke up as they went out the door the nick called back over his shoulder that he would and they were gone.

When they got back to Alex's place they split up and went to pack theiur bags Nick came back a few minutes later packed and waiting, Alex tosed af ew last minute things into her suit case and tassed it in the back with Nicks, Then let Tobias jump in before closing the door, and they were off down the road heading north to the Freedom ranch.

Right be hind them A dark SUV followed at a sedate pace the women inside watching them intently.

"So you think you can just run away and I'll leave you alone , not going to happen." She swore chuckling.
