The next night at the lab was slow again. Lindsay was asleep on the sofa while everyone else was either going over old cases or doing paperwork.
After an hour of silence Cath stood up.
"Hey Sar can you give me a hand with something?"
"Sure" Sata stood and stretched, unconsciously giving Nick a nice view of her abdomen.
After the two females were out of hearing distance of the breakroom Cath stopped.
"Sara, do you love Nick?"
"W-What?" Sara almost choked.
"You heard me." Catherine grinned at the panic that flashed across Sara's face.
"What makes you think that?" Sara asked trying to keep calm
"Oh come on Sar!"
"Alright, alright, yea i think i do." Sara explained everything that had happened at the zoo the day before.
"But what do i do if he just want's friendship?"
"Sara no guy asks to 'talk' to you if they just want friendship"
Sara continued to look doubtful.
"Come with me i want you to hear something."
Catherine led Sara to the nearest room with a computer. She turned it on and waited for it to load up.
"What are you doing?"
"You'll see"
Cath then went to Nick's kidnapping case and opened the audio evidence file pressing play.
Nicks voice filled the room. It was the message he had recorded when he was in th coffin. Cath fast forwarded it to Saras bit.
When the tape had finished Sara sat there speachless.
"You see Sara, he loves you." Cath smiled
Sara just let out a weak chuckle "Wow"
"Yep now come on before the guys suspect something."
"Wait Cath, Nick wants me to wear a dress when we go out."
"Yea?"
"I don't own any!"
"Not a problem, we are going shopping before shift tomorrow."
As they neared the break room they heard cheering.
"What the hell?" Cath said as she walked in. Warrick, Greg and Nick were all laughing and dancing around.
"I got the house" Nick said with the biggest smile anyone had seen in a long time.
