When the shift was over, Nick went to his car in the parking lot and called Sara from his cell. She answered on the first ring.
"Hello." Came the groggy reply.
"Hey Sara. How are you?"
"I'm better now. My lips aren't as big anymore. But I just took another dose of Benadryl so I think I'll be good in a few hours."
"And oppose from the lips, how are you?"
"Um, I still have a fever but I took Tylenol for it. My head isstill slightly aching but I think I'm through with throwing up."
"Well, I guess that is good then . . . kind of anyway."
"So how was your shift?"
"Good. We found out about how the shift changes went and it's all good. The shifts change officially at the beginning of next week."
"Oh well that is good. So Ecklie was actually okay with it all."
"Well, Grissom said he was an asshole about it all. But still, it all worked out . . . somehow. Hey Sara, do you want me to go over there with you?"
"Oh no, thanks Nick but I'm good."
"All right. I'll let you go rest."
"Kay. I don't know if I will be working tonight though."
"Yeah, if your still feeling sick then you definitely shouldn't."
"I know but I was already missed one day so I should probably . . ."
"Sara, being the workaholic that you are, I know you want to go to work even when you're sick but you can't. You have to stay home and get rested up."
"Fine. I guess you're right. But wouldn't it be . . ."
"Sara, no. You can't go to work when you're sick."
"All right, all right. You win. I'll stay home."
"Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah."
"Well I'll let you go now."
"Kay. Talk to ya later."
"Bye."
He hung up just as she did. Then Nick drove home to try to get some rest.
Warrick and Catherine didn't talk that night. They had both gone straight home and to sleep.
TBC Sorry the last chapters have been so short but the next one is going to be longer. I promise.
