"I'll be right back." Sara excused herself when she saw someone she recognised and wanted to say hello to.

"Okay." Nick agreed.

"You know I thought someone told you that you shouldn't wear red and orange together." Sara said as she stood in the doorway.

"Well she left town to help out on a case and never came back." The woman looked up. "Hey Sara."

"Becky." Sara smiled. "It's been a while."

"How's Vegas?"

"Still sin city." Sara replied. "But I like it."

"Who's the cute guy with Tom?" Becky inquired looking out the window.

"That would be Nick." Sara replied.

"Where's he from? What's he do? And does he know his butt looks that good in jeans."

"He's from Texas. He's a CSI in Vegas and watch the comments about his butt, he's my husband."

"You did well for yourself girl. And if there are more like that in Vegas I might just put in for a transfer myself."

"I would say he's one of a kind, but he has a brother and five sisters. They're all pretty much alike."

"Big family." Becky said.

"Nick's the youngest and his Mom managed to have seven kids and be a public defender."

"That's some woman." Becky agreed. "So what brought you back to town?"

"Subpoena." Sara replied. "We've got a flight out tonight so we can be back at work by midnight. But I thought I'd stop by and check up on the place. Now we're going to give Tom a hand with his bug case."

"You work with that bug guy."

"Grissom." Sara supplied. "We've learnt a lot from him. If we can't help, we'll take the information back to him. Grissom's usually pretty good with consults."

"I can see why you stayed in Vegas." Becky said.

"Nick and I have only been together less than a year. But was a good friend before that. You know what they say about marrying your best friend."

"How long have you been married?"

"Two days." Sara replied.

"And you're not in the Caribbean on honeymoon?"

"Since Nick's family is all in Texas, we're going to have a little thing there in a few months and go on honeymoon then." Sara explained watching Nick and Tom interact.

"Anywhere nice?" Becky inquired.

"I don't know. Nick's planning it as a surprise. All I know is I need to get a passport."

"Sounds like fun." Becky guessed. "You know we had a case you'd like last year."

"What kind of case?"

"Two dead guys with the sea lions and guess what?"

"The sea lions didn't kill them; they just batted them around a bit." Sara answered. "Billy sent me an e-mail complete with pictures."

"He always did like you better than me."

"I didn't kick him when he gave me a tetanus shot." Sara stated. Billy was one of the medical examiners, who'd had to give had to give Becky a tetanus shot after she'd cut herself and refused to go to hospital for stitches when she had someone perfectly capable of doing it there.

"So we've been stood here talking for the last five minutes, are you going to introduce me to him or do I have to do it myself?" Becky inquired.

"Just remember hands off he's mine." Sara warned.

"Yes sir." Becky joked and followed Sara out into the hall.

"Nick, I'd like you to meet Becky Lassitar. Becky, my husband Nick Stokes."

"It's nice to meet you." Nick shook her hand.

"You too and that's a great accent."

"Thanks." Nick replied.

"Just ignore her, Becky is a terrible flirt." Sara told him.

"But she's a great toxicologist." Tom added.

"Does that mean I get a pay rise boss?" Becky inquired.

"The county authorises pay raises not me." Tom reminded her.

"I'll remember that the next time I get called in to pull triple shifts."

"That was only twice and because we had an epidemic of poisonings and drug overdoses." Tom countered.

"Nick, it was nice to meet you. Sara, call more often and remember to say goodbye this time. I should get back to work I'm covering DNA as well today." Becky stated.

"Thank you Becky." Tom replied.
