Thanks for all the great reviews. I replied to those I could. I would like to throw out another thank-you to Tefla for doing the whole beta thing. This chapter is a little shorter sorry about that. I just wanted to get something out for you.

Disclaimer: I do not own CSI and envy the people that do.


Sara and Nick had arrived at the Motor Werks Company to find a lone police car sitting in the parking lot. The Motor Werks Company was known for selling both new and used Mercedes, BMWs, Saabs, Porsches, Hondas, Cadillacs, and Infiniti cars.

The large display window had been shattered and there were a million pieces of glass on the ground in front of the building. As the two CSIs made their way over an officer greeted them.

"Nick, Sara how's it going?"

"Good Dan…So what do we got here?" Sara asked.

"Well dispatch received an alarm at this location at 11:33pm. I was asked to check it out and found it like this. I've been here for about thirty minutes now.

"Has anyone contacted the owner yet?" Nick asked.

"The owner gets notified automatically when the alarms go off. His name is Albert Jones and he lives in Henderson he should be here shortly."

"OK. Thanks…Has the place been cleared yet?" Nick asked again looking into the building through the broken window.

"Yea I cleared it. I went through right there and I didn't touch anything."

The officer pointed out his path to the CSIs.

"Well I guess we should get to work." Nick said to Sara.

The CSIs walked away from the officer and moved in closer to the building.

"So how do you want to handle this?" Sara asked.

Nick looked at Sara, "Well you're the lead on this Sara you make the call. Remember I have," he looked at his watch, "Seven hours and eighteen minutes to go until I'm on vacation."

"You had to go there didn't you? Well just for that you can take the outside and start taking pictures."

"Sure thing Sara I'll get started."

Nick grabbed his camera and started taking pictures. He took pictures of the broken display window, the shattered glass on the ground and the tire marks on the sidewalk just outside the window.

He followed the tire marks and shattered glass to the street the whole time documenting the path with pictures.

Nick bent over to examine the tire marks when he felt the sharp pain in his side returning. He stood up and took a deep breath in willing it to go away. Finally after a few minutes the pain subsided, but didn't go away completely. He silently told himself to make sure he stretched better the next time he worked out.

He bent down once again to finish what he had been doing when a pair of headlights temporarily blinded him. A Mercedes had just pulled in and slowly made its way across the parking lot, parking next to the CSIs SUV.

A short balding man stepped out of the car adjusting his dark gray Armani suit. He started to walk towards the building when the on scene officer walked up to him to keep him from going into the building.

Nick watched as the officer pointed in his direction, the man nodded his understanding and started to head towards Nick.

The CSI stood up still feeling a twinge in his side and made his way over to the gentleman. It wasn't usually a CSI's job to assume, but in this case Nick felt safe to assume that this was the owner of the company.

Nick was finally close enough to speak to the man.

"Can I help you sir?" He asked politely.

"I'm Albert Jones. I own the building." He waved his arm back towards the building.

Nick nodded his head in understanding "I'm Nick Stokes with the Crime Lab. We were called out here to investigate a breaking and entering."

"Yes…it's a pleasure Mr. Stokes." He said extending his hand and checking Nick out.

Nick squirmed under Mr. Jones' gaze as he shook his hand. He cleared his throat, took his hand back and forced a small smile. "If you would follow me sir I would like to you tell me what's missing from your showroom."

"Of course…of course. Anything I can do to help you." He said with a large grin on his face. "Please lead the way." 'So I can check out your ass' he said to himself.

Nick forced another smile, "Please sir after you." He waved his arm towards the building.

"Sure anything you want Mr. Stokes."

Just as Nick and Mr. Jones walked up to the building Sara chose that moment to exit.

"Nick I just finished processing the inside so we are good to go." Sara said.

She looked over at the owner waiting for an introduction by Nick. She was surprised when she received an annoyed, dirty look from the owner.

"Sara, this is Mr. Jones the owner, Mr. Jones this is my partner Sara Sidle."

Sara plastered on a fake smile, " It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Jones. I'm sorry we had to meet under these circumstances."

"Yes well the pleasure is all yours."

Sara didn't let the comment faze her. In their line of work she had heard much worse.

She got right to the point. " Mr. Jones as you can see the display window has been shattered can you tell us what was here?"

"Of course I can tell you. It was the 2006 Cabriolet, a wonderful car. As you can see I drive one myself." And looking directly at Nick said, "Maybe I can give you a ride sometime."

Sara started coughing.

"Are you alright Miss Sidle?" Mr. Jones asked with fake concern.

Nick gave Sara a death glare and she abruptly stopped coughing.

After clearing her throat she said, "I'm sorry about that. I think I might be coming down with something."

"You should really get that checked out. You wouldn't want to get Mr. Stokes here sick."

She started coughing again, "Thanks for your concern Mr. Jones, but really I'm fine."

"Um…Mr. Jones do you have any security or surveillance cameras in the showroom?" Nick asked.

He turned back towards Nick, "Of course, they are back in my private office Mr. Stokes. Shall I show you where it is?"

"If you could escort Miss Sidle and myself back there I would greatly appreciate it."

Mr. Jones made his way towards the building leaving the two CSIs alone for a moment.

"Would you two like to be alone?" Sara snickered.

"Its not funny Sara," Nick growled.

"Yes Nick…it is." She snorted.

"Are you coming?" Mr. Jones called from the door.

"Yes sir, we're coming." Nick pushed Sara towards the door and he followed her in.

"I should have called in sick." He mumbled to himself as he went through the door.


Well there it is. The next chapter will have the rest of the group in it. I hope you liked it. Let me know your thoughts. I also hope I didn't offend anyone. The chapter wasn't meant to do that. Take care and see you all next chapter. Remember please review. Thanks!
