"Okay"

A Week Later

The killer had been caught earlier that week but the Vegas team stayed till the end of the week. They'd all agreed that they'd come up to Vegas to visit as soon as they could. Stella was talking to the friend of a victim at the crime scene when her cell rang 'Nick'

"Bonesera"

"Oh come on babe you can do better than that can't you?"

"Oh you know I can it's just I'm in the middle of talking to a victims friend. What about you?" She said walking out of the room for privacy.

"Okay. I'm in the locker room getting changed"

"Leave images in my head why don't you. What's wrong anyway?"

"I just wanted to hear you're voice. Darling"

"You've heard it. Now I'll call you later after I've finished work"

"I'm hurt. I'll speak to you soon Darling"

"Speak to you soon Nicky" Stella hung up and walked back into the room "Sorry about that you were saying"

Back at the Lab

"So Stel Flack was just saying that lover boy called you at the scene" Danny said

"Yeah but did he tell who his girlfriend is?" she asked

"No. In fact I didn't know he had a girlfriend"

"He does and it's Georgia"

"Georgia…as in you're daughter Georgia"

"Yep"

"I'll be right back Stel"
Stella laughed knowing that Danny would be going to kill Flack for telling him.
