"Hey Nick." Archie called when he saw him walking past.

"Hey Archie, what's up?"

"I thought I'd be the first person around here to congratulate you."

"How did you know?"

"Given the conversation you had with Sara yesterday it wasn't hard to put two and two together. And I spoke to Sara when she dropped in the security footage earlier."

"Did she ask you not to say anything?" Nick inquired.

"You want to let the others figure it out for themselves. Besides it will be fun to watch Greg squirm."

"Thanks man."

"Just one more question before you go."

"What question would that be?" Nick being very wary.

"How did you not realise you were dating for a month?"

"CSI's can be oblivious to what's going on around them too." He said relived that was the question.

"That's what Sara said too."

"Smart woman. I should get back to work, so I'll see you later."

"Bye."

CSI CSI

"Did you work last night?" Greg asked the receptionist.

"Yes." She replied.

"Do you know if Sara had any visitors last night?"

"Not that I know of, why do you ask?" She inquired.

"Just wondering. Thanks for your help."

CSI CSI.

"Archie, you beeped?" Greg said when he walked into the A/V lab.

"Actually I paged Sara."

"She's in the middle of a test so she sent me instead."

"Okay, I found some things on the surveillance tapes that aren't going to help."

"Did you know Sara got engaged?" Greg asked.

"Yes and I'm sure they will very happy."

"They? You know who she is engaged to?"

"Yes."

"How?"

"It was pretty obvious."

"Who is it?" Greg asked.

"Sara asked me not to say."

"Come on Archie, it's just me."

"Sara's right about CSI's being oblivious to what's going around them."

"Well I know it's not you."

"Right."

"Just tell me it isn't Hodges."

"If it was Hodges I would be suggesting she gets the help of a mental health professional." Archie said.

"Good point."

"Now about this tape I have your guy going up in the elevator and to his room. Around the time of death, the camera in the elevator goes black, then the cameras in the hallway to his room. Then again thirty minutes later in reverse the camera in the hallway goes black and then camera in the elevator."

"So we're looking for someone who has the power to shut of security cameras?"

"You can buy the devices on the internet." Archie said. "You could make one yourself with a little time and effort and know how."

"In the rest of the hotel if a camera goes blank security would notice it."

"These are thirty second black outs at most. The security guards would just think it's a glitch."

"But if could get you the footage for the lobby do you think you could see if anyone is following our vic?"

"I can try."

"Great. And you won't tell me?"

"No. But think about it logically the answer is staring you in the face."
