"So your family liked Sara?" Warrick said as they drove to the casino.

"They loved, my sister's and my brother only had one complaint."

"What was that?"

"She's not Texan." Nick replied.

"She can't do much about that." Warrick stated. "Isn't one of your brother-in-laws from Chicago anyway?"

"That was Emily's argument too." Nick shrugged. "They like her; they were all expecting me to marry a stripper anyway."

"A stripper? In Las Vegas you'd have more luck with a show girl there's more of them." Warrick remarked.

"The odds were on it."

"Marrying a stripper is more Greg's style anyway."

"My brothers-in-law think she's great because she helped their team win the softball game, especially since she scored a home run."

"From what Sara said she caught you out too." Warrick remarked.

"She mentioned that did she?"

"Amongst other things. It seems your sisters are more than happy to tell tales about you."

"They always were and they kicked me out so they could gossip too."

"I guess that's the downside of coming from a big family."

"There's the reverse I know all their stories too." Nick pointed out.

"But if you tell us those we aren't going to spread them around the lab since no-one knows them."

"True." Nick sighed.

"What did your nieces and nephews think?"

"Stacey thinks Sara's great because she managed to explain to her how to do her physics homework without putting her to sleep. The littler ones loved that she played with them, and read them a story."

"Sara and kids, it's not usually a combination you'd think would work."

"She was great with them. Matthew thought it was funny when she landed on her butt, before he got worried about her and went to check on her."

"How old is Matthew?"

"Three." Nick replied. "We get kids started on softball early in our family."

"So do you have any ideas what kind of dress you want?" Catherine asked Sara as they rode to the crime scene. Grissom was taking his own vehicle.

"Something without enough fabric to cover the strip." Sara replied.

"I think they did a dress similar to the one you wore to your engagement party in which, just with a little more fabric."

"That would probably work for getting married here."

"Something slightly more formal for Texas?" Catherine guessed.

"And longer." Sara added.

"Just let me know when you want to go shopping."

"I will." Sara said as they pulled up.

They flashed their ID on the way in.

"Today certainly wasn't a good day to get Oysters." Catherine said as they surveyed the scene.

"Ladies." Brass said coming over. "Sara did you have a nice vacation?"

"Yes thank you." Sara replied. "What've we got?"

"We still haven't go an ID on our shooter yet, but he was dead when then the EMT's got here, he bled out. Brass pointed to the body on the floor. "The woman in the booth is Mariska Leonard. 33, two kids both under three, she runs a day-care centre. The other two James Newton, 25, blackjack dealer in the casino and was on a break, and the other his girlfriend Julie Paulo 24, she's a bartender here. Hospital thinks that they're both going to make it, although they'll need surgery to retrieve the bullets which we'll get sent over to the lab. They were sitting at the table behind Mariska Leonard."

"You thinking Mariska was the target and the others were collateral damage or the other way around?" Sara inquired.

"Witnesses couldn't tell, the shooter just burst in bleeding and shot of the rounds without saying anything and then hit the deck. I've already secured the surveillance tapes. David's on his way."

"So is Grissom." Catherine added.

"I'll take the tables." Sara stated.

"I'll take the shooter." Catherine said. "We'll get the lasers out to check the trajectories later."

"Sounds good." Sara agreed.
