Nick ran down the halls of the hospital. All he could think about were the tears he saw running down Sara's cheeks at her apartment. He still didn't know what was going on, but he had an idea.

Anger filled him. How could this happen? To Sara of all people"

He finally found Sara in one of the emergency rooms. She didn't even look like herself.

"Hey" he said is that all I can think to say

Sara looked up at him and couldn't stop the tears that formed in her eyes. Nick saw this and walked up to her bed. He held out his arms to her; letting her make the move.

Sara couldn't believe that he was still there. When she saw his arms opened she fell into them.

"Oh Nicky!" She cried. She held on to him like her life depended on it.

"Sara, what happened?" he asked

Sara knew this question was going to come up, but at that time Det. Jim Brass walked in the door.

"Sara?" Jim couldn't hide the shock in his voice.

Jim had been called out to Desert Plams in regards to a rape. Never in a hundred years did he expect to find Sara on the bed.

"Hey Jim." Came the soft reply.

Jim just stood there not knowing what to say for a few minutes. First he wanted to get into father mode. Someone, some ass hole, had hurt someone he looked at like a daughter, but he knew he she didn't need that right now. It looked to him she had all the comfort in the world right there in Nick's arms.

"Sara, I need to know what happened."

"They have already done a rape kit." Sara said "My clothes are in that bag over by the door."

Nick really didn't know what to do. "I'm going to go get some coffee so ya'll can talk."

Sara's eyes got huge, "Please Nick stay"

"Okay"

Sara looked up at Jim and started her story.

"There was a knock at the door and I went to answer it. I didn't even look in the peep hole. When I opened the door there was Hank with a dozen roses."

"Wait, HANK" Nick said the anger he was feeling before came back ten times worse when he heard that name.

"Nick" Jim said in a stern voice. Letting the CSI know now was not the time.

"Anyway," said Sara, "I let him in. He started talking about how sorry he was and that he had broken it off with his girlfriend. He wanted to get back together. I told him I didn't want him back and that he needed to leave. Hank got mad. Said I didn't know what was good for me. He slapped me and got on top of me. I fought, but it didn't do any good. He ripped my clothes off and raped me. Once he was done he said that now I knew what was good for me and left."

Nick was seeing red. All he wanted to do was find Hank and saw him what was good for him. Jim looked at Sara and then at Nick.

"They are going to be letting you out soon. I don't think it would be a good idea to go home."

"She's not" Nick said "she is going be to at my house." His statement left no room to argue.

Sara let out a sigh of relief she really didn't want to go back home. But she wasn't sure about going to Nick's. It beats going home, I guess she thought.
