Recap: Nick has had a bad day, he goes home and hears some strange noises coming from outside and goes to investigate

Nick finally located where the noise was coming from and shined the light and gun into the bushes. What he saw when the flashlight illuminated the bushes shocked him.

"Oh my god" was all Nick could say when he realized what was sitting there. There on the ground sat a little girl with straight brown hair and brown eyes, with a small brown teddy bear in her hands, dirt and grime covered her entire body, she wore what looked like a dress that had seen better days. She looked up at Nick with tears in her eyes.

Nick lowered his gun and instinctively stuck his hand out to her. The child pulled back in fright and began to whimper a bit. Nick pulled his hand back and started talking to her in a soft tone hoping that it would calm the scared child.

"Its okay sweetie...don't cry I'm not going to hurt you" Nick said in a comforting tone

The child kept her eyes glued on Nick while he talked to her.

"Come on, why don't you come out of there" Nick gently probed, he extended his hand to her and was shocked when he felt her tiny little hand slip into his. He gently lead her out from the bushes and into the safe confines of his home.

Once inside Nick took the little child into the kitchen and lifted her up so that she was sitting on the bar stool. Nick gave her a quick look over before he started questioning her.

"My name is Nick, what's your name sweetie?" he asked gently

Nothing the little girl just stared at him, it was almost like she was in a trance. When she didn't answer he figured trying a different approach might get her to open up.

"What's your teddy bear's name?"

"Pancho" the little girl replied in a voice that was so small Nick had to strain to hear it.

"Really, my nickname is Pancho" Nick said in a gentle tone

The little girl gave a small smile and Nick was glad to see it.

"Are you hurt?"

The minute Nick went back to questioning her she went back into her trance like state.

"It's okay you don't have to answer me"

Nick grabbed his cell phone and dialed the Sara's number.

"Sidle" replied a very sleepy Sara

"Hey Sara it's me Nick"

"Yes Nick" Sara replied a little hastily since this was the second time in tonight that he had woke her up.

"Look Sara I am really sorry to bother you but can you come pick me up and take me to the hospital."

Sara quickly woke up at the word hospital and began the "21 questions" game with Nick

"Are you okay?...Are you hurt?... Why do you need to go to the hospital?" she asked frantically while scrambling to gather her clothes.

Nick chuckled into his phone as he heard her scramble to get her stuff together, "Relax Sara I'll explain it to you when you get here"

"Ok I'll be there as soon as I can"

"All right thanks Sara"

With that Nick hung up his phone and looked at the little girl. A couple minutes passed in complete silence until the little girl spoke up.

"Lexie" was all she said.

This surprised Nick as he glanced over at her with a smile on his face.

"Lexie" he repeated, not really sure what she was telling him, but then it dawned on him that it was her name.

"That's a very pretty name" Nick told her trying his hardest to get her to open up to him.

A couple more minutes passed and then Nick saw the headlights of Sara's Denali pull into his driveway. He heard the car door close and a couple minutes later he heard frantic knocking at the door.

"I'll be right back Lexie ok," Lexie nodded never looking away from her teddy bear.

Nick opened the door forgetting that he still didn't have a shirt on. Sara stared at him for a minute before Sara practically throw herself on him and gave him a humongous hug.

"Easy Sar" Nick said finally gaining his footing

"I'm sorry" she said as she pulled away and gave him a sheepish smile once again staring at his well defined chest. (A/N: I think all the ladies agree, don't ya ladies?)

Nick noticed her staring then realized what she was staring at and excused himself and grabbed the first clean shirt he could find.

When Nick returned with a shirt on, Sara was slightly disappointed, of course she saw him change his shirt at work but this was different now he looked just plain hot. Sara quickly pushed all those thoughts out of her mind when Nick began to talk to her.

"Come here there is someone I want you to meet" he said, while taking her hand and taking her into the kitchen.

"Oh my" was all Sara could say when she saw the little girl sitting on the bar stool.

"Lexie this is Sara, Sara this is Lexie" Nick introduced the two of them

"Hi there" said Sara

Lexie looked up and gave a small smile to Sara before turning her attention back to her teddy bear.

"Nick where did she come from?"

"I don't know I found her out in the bushes, I thought I should take her to the hospital and have her checked out, even though I can't seem to find anything wrong with her"

"Okay good thinking, come on lets go" Sara stated getting right to the point.

Nick walked into the kitchen and helped Lexie down and the trio was off to the emergency room.
