Same as always! Read and review please!

It turned out that Lindsay's feeling was dead on. Nick had been recovering fast and the doctor pushed the release date up.

Warrick and Greg were picking up vases of flowers and cards off of the window sill.

"Man, you must really be loved," Greg said as he turned around to find Nick asleep in his bed. "Warrick, look," Greg said as he pointed with his free hand.

"Oh man," Warrick said as he saw Nick gripping the bear Lindsay gave him as he slept. "I gotta get a picture of this," Warrick said as he pulled out his camera.

"You're cruel man," Greg said as he continued picking up cards and empty coffee cups.

"Oh, please," Warrick said as he got pictures from every angle.

"Priceless," Grissom said as he walked into the room with coffee and doughnuts.

"Isn't?" Warrick said as he put the camera to rest. "Is that for us?" Warrick asked as he sat in the chair next to Nick.

"Who else would it be for?" Greg asked. Warrick responded by throwing a pen from his front pocket at Greg. Grissom merely shook his head at the immaturity erupting from both men.

"You guys are so crazy," Nick said in his slumber filled voice.

"You look comfortable," Warrick said as he pointed to the bear.

"You know what, I'm just fine having you guys see me with this bear," Nick said with a smirk on his face. "It's my most prized possession," Nick said while griping the bear even tighter.

"Whatever man," Warrick said as he grabbed himself a doughnut.

"Pass me one of those man," Nick said with a longing face. Warrick handed him a chocolate one, knowing that it was Nick's favorite.

As they passed the doughnuts and coffee around, a red headed nurse walked in to take Nick's vital. A smile couldn't help but form on his face as he became more presentable to the adorable nurse.

"Nice bear," She said as she finished the vitals. Nick, feeling embarrassed, pushed the bear farther down under the covers.

"No, don't do that," She said with a smile. "I like a guy with a soft spot,"

Nick's smile was a mile wide as he tried not to blush.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" She asked as she clipped the pen to the board.

Nick tried his hardest not to act like a fool. "Um, why?" Nick asked with a blush.

Seeing the blush, the nurse stated, "Because you are being released tomorrow. Do you think you're ready?"

Nick's smile faded a little but continued by saying, "More than ever,"

"Good. Because your vitals are good. Your medicine is working. You limbs seem to be functioning properly. And by the looks of you cheeks," She said with a smile, "your blood flow is doing just fine."

"Plus, we need that bed," She said with a wide toothed smile.

A bigger smile spread across his face as they said they said their silent good byes. Nick suddenly remembered that he wasn't alone. He slowly turned his face to the left. The guys were trying their best to suppress the laughter that was escaping their lips.

"Nick, you're the man," Greg said with a laugh. "Where did you learn you skills?"

"Shut up, man," Nick said with a warning. "Guaranteed I'll have her digits by the time I leave."

"Right," Warrick said with a smile.

"Um…..Um….Um," Greg said mockingly.

"Oh my god," Nick said as he put his head back with a hand over his eyes.

"Anyways," Grissom said with a smile while trying to keep his laughing inside. "You're being released tomorrow. That's good news."

"Yeah," Nick said with a bit of a faded smile.

"You're not ready yet are you, Nick?" Grissom asked after a dramatic pause.

"No, I'm ready," Nick said as he tried to reassure the others.

"If you're not, you could stay over at Warrick's," Grissom said.

"Yeah. It would be awesome," Warrick said as he sipped his coffee. He quickly spit it back in. "Dude, did you put sugar in my coffee?" Warrick asked Grissom.

"Nope. It's black," Grissom said as he took a sip of his coffee.

Warrick took another sip and placed it back on the table.

"But anyways," Warrick said as he tried to get back on topic. "It would be fine if you stayed at my house."

"It would?" Nick asked, not wanting to be a burden to anyone.

"No problem man," Warrick said with his hands crossed over his lap.

"I'm ready to leave, just not ready to be alone," Nick said feeling ridiculous at such a sophomoric comment.

"It's not a problem man," Warrick said with a smile.

"Alright, thanks man," Nick said with a smile.

A few hours passed as they played Texas Hole em' and dominos. They even started watching a football game and began talking bets, which made both Nick and Warrick feel a little uneasy. They made a non audible connection that sent chills up and down their spines. Warrick won the bet which made him feel even worse. After the game, Warrick tried to teach Greg the art of Rum-E while Nick and Grissom talked.

"Did you see what I said," Nick asked as he sat up in his bed. Grissom knew exactly what he was talking about.

"Yeah, I did," Grissom said while leaning forward.

"I never meant to……" Nick said but was interrupted by Lindsay and Catherine walking into the room.

"Hey," Nick said as Lindsay and Catherine gave him hugs.

"I had another dream," Lindsay said while sitting on the bed.

"Really? What was it about?" Nick asked curiously. By now both Greg and Warrick had stopped talking to listen in on the conversation.

"You were at Uncle Warrick's house. You were sleeping in his spare room and you started talking. I couldn't understand it but I wrote it down as soon as I woke up," Lindsay said as she handed him the pink sheet of paper from her Lisa Frank Stationary.

Nick read the paper with the list on it. It read: Las Vegas, Cisco, "...did the best you could to find me.", Grissom, and disappoint you.

"So, I was sleeping and I started saying these things?" Nick asked with concerned eyes.

Lindsay nodded her head, not knowing why he looked so down.

"I thought you said that there was no audio on the webcam?" Nick asked as he looked at his co-workers.

"There….wasn't," Greg stated as he scooted his chair closer to Nick's bed.

"Then how did she know these things?" Nick asked as he turned the paper towards them 4.

"I have no idea, but this is getting weirder and weirder," Warrick said with a concerned look on his face. "I mean, we don't even know what you said while you were in there."

"I knew a few things through reading your lips, but I never told anyone," Grissom said while rubbing his beard.

"She said it happened at you house Warrick," Nick said while shaking the paper.

"I bought food!" Sara said as she erupted into the room. 6 pairs of eyes stared at her as she received the hint.

"Oh, sorry. Serious moment," Sara said as she crept into the room and found a chair. "What's going on?"

Greg quietly filled Sara in as Lindsay and Nick silently read each others mind.

"How do you know these things?" Nick asked a little teary eyed.

"I have no idea," Lindsay said with same glossy eyes expression.

Lindsay and Nick sat there staring at each other for what felt like an eternity. They searched the others mind as they looked for some kind of explanation. They analyzed everything that could bring them closer to the answers they were searching for. They stared into each others eyes. Not looking for anything in particular; just looking at the others real feelings through teary eyes. They weren't teary eyed because they were sad, but because they had a connection that no one could penetrate. Like their own little world and no intruders were allowed.
