"You ready man?" Nick said as he entered Warrick's front door.

Warrick and Tina had recently filed for a divorce. They had gone into the marriage too quickly and paid the price for it in the end. Today the divorce was final leaving Warrick Brown officially back on the market.

Warrick and Nick had experienced a very hard day at work.

There had been only one case that night, and it wasn't just one murder. It was a triple. The father, the mother and their son had all been stabbed to death in their home. The case still wasn't closed, but they all had been working like bees in a beehive so Grissom told them to go home and get some rest. But that wasn't exactly what Nick and Warrick were doing.

They were going out. Where? To a club of course. Normally they wouldn't go out on a work night but they had to let off some steam. They desperately needed to unwind, and some drinks were just the thing that could help them do that.

"Oh yeah, I'll be right there." Warrick called out from his kitchen. "I just have to grab my wallet."

When they were both ready to leave, they decided to go to the newest club on the strip. It had just opened up a few weeks ago and neither of them had a chance to check it out yet.

As they were driving to the club, they talked about the ladies that they might pick up.

Warrick didn't feel at all uncomfortable talking about other woman so quickly after leaving Tina, for many reasons. With their marriage being so rocky since the start, he was glad to get out of it.

"I think I might go for a blue eyed, blond. How does that sound?" Nick said jokingly.

"She sounds like a barbie!" He replied sarcastically, receiving a roll of the eyes from Nick. "I'm going for a redhead I think or maybe a strawberry blond." Warrick said.

"Hmm Warrick. Let me think. Now who do we both know that has red hair." Nick said with sarcasm. He stole a glance at his friend.

"I don't know Nick. Who do we?" He was playing dumb.

"Oh now, Warrick. Don't even try to play dumb with me." He said, clearly reading him like an open book. I've seen the looks who've been giving Catherine lately. You've been checking her out. But it's not like it all just started. You always had a thing for her even before you meant Tina."

"Not correct Stokes. I like Catherine strictly as a friend and nothing more."

"Sure Rick, sure. I just thought, you know, with the way you've been checking out her butt . . ." he said letting his sentence hang,

"Do not." Said Warrick making himself sound like a little kid.

"Yeah right." Nick murmured under his breath as they were pulling into the parking lot of the club.

"Hot blond, here I come." Said Nick walking into the club with Warrick behind him.

"I think you mean Barbie." Rick said under his breath.

They then walked up to the bar and managed to find two unaccompanied seats.

"What can I get you boys?" Asked a waitress who both Nick and Warrick found very attractive.

"I'll take a beer." Said Warrick, scanning the waitress up and down.

"Same here." Said Nick, winking at Warrick, noticing the looks he was giving her.

When she turned around to get them their drinks, Warrick said, "Check out that ass."

"Nice. Screw the beer, I'd like to have one of her." Said Nick semi-seriously.

The girl handed them their beers and walked away to serve another man.

"I'll second that." Said Warrick as he held up his beer to Nick who clapped his beer bottle with Warrick's.

"You'll second what?" Said an all to familiar voice from behind him.
