"SARA! NICK! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING?" Grissom's voice echoed through the hallways. Nick released Sara, and the backed away from each other slightly, staring at Grissom. He looked angrier than anyone had ever seen him. "SARA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING MOVING IN WITH HIM? I DO NOT WANT, NO, I REFUSE TO ALLOW YOU TO LIVE WITH HIM, OR DATE HIM, OR ANYTHING WITH HIM!" Grissom was screaming at them. All of the lab techs and CSI's stopped what they were doing to watch Grissom's Temper Tantrum. "NICK! HOW DARE YOU EVEN ASK HER TO DO ANYTHING! YOU TWO WILL BE THE DEATH OF THIS LAB, THIS CITY, THIS STATE, THIS COUNTRY! NICK YOU MAY NOT MOVE IN WITH HER! I FORBID YOU TO! I WILL FIRE YOU!" Nick and Sara stared at him speechlessely.

Catherine heard the commotion and ran up to them. "Gil, what the hell are you doing? What is going on?" She asked him angrily. "THEY CANNOT MOVE IN TOGETHER! THEY CANNOT! I WILL NOT ALLOW THEM TO!" He screamed. Catherine looked between the two of them. "Sara and Nick are... Moving in together?" She asked. "WELL WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR THE LAST TEN MINUTES?" He roared."Gil! Lower your voice. You are getting out of control. Sara and Nick have the right to live where they want. They are allowed to have a life!" She scolded him. "NO! THEY CANNOT! I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS!" He screamed. Sophia came running up to him. "Gil, Gilly. Calm down, sweetie." She soothed. "NO! I WILL NOT CALM DOWN, SOPHIA! AND DO NOT CALL ME THAT EVER AGAIN! I AM NOT YOUR 'SWEETIE'." He yelled at her. Her face fell. The plan had not worked. He was way too upset.He was supposed to calm down, and lean on her for support. Instead he too rejected her. Her face grew hot, and with a little "Harummph" ,She ran from the room.

"Look Grissom, Sara and I love each other. We are going to move in together. We are dating. We have been for the last 3 weeks!" Nick yelled at him. "Ever since you turned her down! You can't keep dangling her in front of you, like a fish waiting on a stick. You have to either take her down and love her, or set her free. She is a human being, you know. She is allowed to have a life!" Nick's anger towards this man that had done such evil things to Sara, his Sara, the girl he loved most in the world. Gil stared at him fumingly. "Let's go, Sara." Nick said, grabbing his bag and slinging his arm around her shoulders. Grissom stared at thenm fro a second, then grabbed his gun from his holster and shot Nick. "Gil!" Catherine screamed at him. Sara looked at the falling Nick, blood pouring from his chest. "Nicky..Nicky.." She sobbed as she fell to her knees. "Baby, wake up. Wake up!" She cried. Then she suddenly turned at ran at Grissom. "What the hell is your problem! You old, evil bastard! Why the hell would you do that? What the fuck is wrong with you?" She punched him as she screamed at him. He doubled over, and fell down. She turned and ran towards Nick. Warrick was watching from the side, and as he saw Nick fall to the ground, he had automatically pulled out his cellphone and dialed 911. They came within 5 minutes. Sara, Greg and Catherine went with Nick and the ambulance. Warrick stayed to watch Grissom. "Don't you dare move, or I will have to kill you, Grissom." He said seethingly. Anyone who hurt Nick Stokes was no friend of his. Anyone who hurt Nick, or any of his family of co-workers, would have to pay. And this man had hurt Nick. Bad. He would have to pay. Big time.

Nick woke up 2 hours after his surgery to see Sara crying beside him, and Catherine, Greg & Warrick standing at the foot of his bed. "Sara.." He said feebly. "Nicky, Oh, Nicky!" Sara cried, and hugged him. "I though I'd lost you..." She whispered into his ear. "Honey, If I can help it, I definately do not want to lose you!" He assured her. The other 3 stood watching the two, completely unfamiliar with the people in front of them. They never knew Sara to cry. "Hey guys!" Nick greeted them cheerfully. "Hey man! You scared us!" Warick said, a small smile on his face. Catherine was leaning aginst him, and he had his arm slung around her shoulder. "Nicky..." Catherine said slowly, tears brimming in her eyes. She turned to rest her head in Warrick's chest. He hugged her, and Greg smiled at both of the couples. He felt somewhat lonely. "Hey, Greggo!" Nick adressed him. Gregg moved closer to the bed and squeezed Nick's hand. Sara was still hugging Nick, but after several minutes, she withdrew and sat back down. She took his other hand, and Nick squeezed her hand reassuringly. "It's okay, Honey. It's okay." He told her, as he lovingly massaged her hand.

They all stood for several more minutes, before a nurse entered and shooed Catherine and Warrick, who seemed plastered together, and Greg, out of the room. Warrick lead Catherine out, as she was refusing to let go of him, and Greg followed them, still in shock. (Greg's Thoughts) Someone had been shot inside the lab, his safe, warm haven. Nick, his best CSI buddy, had been shot. And, to top it off, Grissom had shot him. Grissom, the cool, composed, emotionless supervisor. Greg would definately need to see a councillor. He felt numb, scared and relieved, all at the same time. He just needed some sleep. They all did. He walked around the waiting room meaninglessly. Suddenly, a voice broke his concetrated pacing. "Greg! Oh, god, Greg! What happened?" Mia's usually calm voice sounded hysterical. "Greg! Greg!" She screamed, walking towards him. She hugged him tightly. "Oh Greg! They said someone was shot! I could'nt find you! I thought, Oh, Greg!" Greg stood motionlessly, allowing Mia to bury her head in his chest. He somehow managed to raise his arms around her.

Several minutes later, she broke away from him. "Who was it? Who was shot?" She questioned him. "Nick." Greg said slowly. "Is he okay? Is he alive?" She questioned, on the verge of starting another batch of tears. Greg regained his voice, and managed to reply. "Yeah..He had surgery, but he's alive. I saw him a little while ago. He will be fine. Sara's with him." "Oh my god, Greg. Who did this to him? Why?" She asked, her tears spilling again. Greg's small voice replied. "Grissom." Grissom. Grissom had done this to Nick. What the hell happened? Why the hell would Grissom shoot Nick? In his mind full of questions, he knew only one answer. What will happen to Grissom? HE WILL PAY FOR THIS!
