"So Doc Robbins said he died due to his body overheating which shut down his internal organs. For what caused him to overheat we're still waiting on the tox panel." Nick told Catherine as he walked into AV where Archie was helping Catherine compare the stills and photographs. "Doc Robbins is still undetermined so we could still be looking at a homicide."

"Okay." Catherine said.

"How's it going with the stills?"

"I wouldn't wear that if you paid me all the money bet on Fight Night in Vegas." Archie said.

"At least you have standards." Catherine said.

"I'll go and run down the evidence you took from his locker." Nick said.

"Hodges has most of it." Catherine said.

"Okay."

"Hodges." Nick said when he walked into Trace.

"Stokes."

"Do you have my results yet?"

"I'm still working on it." He replied.

"Can you page me when you're done?" Nick asked.

"You know I have been hearing rumours."

"Rumours aren't worth the paper their written on."

"I thought that was verbal contracts." Hodges stated.

"Depends which judge you ask."

"Rumour has it." Hodges continued. "That Sara and I are engaged."

"You want to talk to Greg about that."

"Rumour also has it that you and Sara are engaged."

"That one is true. Now I have to get back to work page me when you get the results."

"This is just typical." Sara sighed.

"We should have probably taken my Denali." Warrick stated.

"Probably."

"I'll call a tow truck." Warrick said.

"Thanks." Sara leant against the Denali and pulled out her cell phone and dialled a familiar number.

"Stokes." Nick answered.

"I have a bone to pick with you mister."

"Hello to you too."

"Hi. I have a bone to pick with you."

"Is something that can wait until we get home?" Nick inquired.

"No."

"Okay what's this bone?"

"When we took my Denali last month because your tire went flat you changed the tire out right?"

"Of course."

"You didn't happen to get the flat tire replaced did you?"

"I was getting around to it why?" Nick asked.

"Three guess."

"The tire blew out."

"So Warrick and I are stranded here."

"Do you want me to come and pick you up?"

"We've called a tow truck." Sara said.

"I'm sorry; I'll make it up to you."

"You'd better."

"By the way Hodges heard the rumour that you and he were engaged."

"Okay now I need a shower."

"You could always jump in the lake." Warrick said over hearing her comment.

"That Warrick?" Nick asked.

"No the hitchhiker we picked up on route. I'll see you later."

"Bye."

"How long on the tow truck?" Sara asked.

"Half an hour."

"I guess we wait."
