"That was fun." Nick said as he pulled off his helmet after they complete there second race.
"You're saying that because you beat Greg." Warrick chuckled.
"Hey it's not my fault."
"Oh it was pretty lousy driving. But I like the part where you crashed into the tires." A female voice said from behind them.
"Hey darlin'." Nick looped a hand around her waist and gave her kiss hello.
"Hey yourself cowboy."
"And I think I'm going to be sick." Greg said.
"Don't do it on the track." Sara recommended.
"So you decided to come join us?" Warrick said.
"Well I thought I'd see what was happening. All I can say is don't quite your night jobs."
"Good thing we weren't planning on it." Warrick said. "How are things at the lab?"
"Ecklie is on the warpath."
"About what?" Nick asked.
"I'm not entirely sure; I hid when I saw heard him ranting down the corridor."
"Not our problem right now." Nick stated.
"By the way that fish is loud."
"It's a goldfish how can it be loud?" Greg asked.
"It picks up pieces of gravel and spits them at the side of the bowl. It's annoying."
"Maybe it was trying to get your attention." Warrick suggested.
"I know it's a myth about goldfish having a three second memory but all the same I don't think it knew I was there." Sara said.
"Goldfish don't have three second memories?" Greg questioned.
"No. It's one of life's fallacies." Sara said.
"How would you measure it?" Warrick asked.
"I don't know." Sara shrugged. "Grissom would probably have a suggestion."
"I'll give you twenty bucks if you ask him." Warrick told Greg.
"Why me?"
"Because you can't drive a go-kart." Warrick slapped him on the back.
"Since that's taken care of." Nick said. "Do you guys want to get something to get something to eat? There is a Wendy's a couple blocks away."
"Do you even eat anything at Wendy's?" Warrick asked Sara.
"I'm sure I'll find something edible there."
"Don't miss eating meat?" Grey inquired. "I mean a good juicy steak."
"Not really. The only thing that challenges it is the smell of bacon cooking, but then I remember I don't eat meat because of that pig and I'm okay again."
"It almost means I not allowed to cook bacon when she's around." Nick added.
"They're going to love you in Texas." Warrick joked.
"Don't worry they haven't lynched anyone in Dallas for turning down the beef for quite a few years." Nick assured her.
"Always good to know."
"And one of my brother-in-laws is a vegetarian." Nick shrugged.
"I thought that was sacrilege for a Texan." Greg said.
"Jack's not from Texas. He's from Chicago originally. He ended up at NASA via MIT."
"You're brother-in-law works for NASA?" Warrick questioned.
"He has an Engineering degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics. He has an IQ of 146 I think, he's a smart guy." Nick replied.
"You never mentioned that before." Warrick said.
"I have 1 brother, five sisters, one sister-in-law, four brother-in-laws, two ex-brother-in-laws, and 13 nieces and nephews. It's a lot of people."
"Just how old are your nieces and nephews?" Greg inquired.
"Lara-Jo just turned 18 last month and Luke is about 18 months old. The rest are in between."
"18 huh?"
"And that is why you're never going to meet her." Nick said.
"And would be a good time to eat."
"I'll wait by the car for you to get changed." Sara stuffed her hands in her pockets.
Nick whispered something into Sara ear which made her smile and swat him.
"I'll be by the car." Sara repeated.
"What did you say to her?" Greg inquired.
"That is something you'll never find out." Nick replied.
