"Hi honey I'm home." Nick said when Sara came in the door.
"I think you have your I Love Lucy lines mixed up." Sara suggested. "Ugh." Sara collapsed on the couch.
"Hard night at the office dear?" Nick inquired.
"I need new shoes."
"Why?"
"Greg and I had to walk two miles searching the side of the highway. I think I have a blister." Sara slipped her shoes off.
"Want a foot rub?" Nick offered.
"That would be great." Sara agreed.
"How'd the case turn out?"
"We're still working on it. There is no reason that car went off the road."
"The vic didn't just fall asleep at the wheel?" Nick asked.
"I don't think so. Witnesses said she was driving normally and then just suddenly went off the road. The brakes were working fine, no drugs or toxins in her system."
"You'll figure it out." Nick assured her.
"I hope so. Grissom figured out Tom's problem."
"Good." Nick replied.
"As good as that feels how about we just go to bed?" Sara suggested.
"I like the way think Mrs Stokes."
"You like the sound of that don't you?"
"It has a nice ring to it." He pulled her closer and kissed her.

Sara's cell phone ringing woke her up. It was a little after 3pm when she glanced at the clock. She slipped out of Nick's grip and slipped on his shirt and did up the buttons as she walked out to grab her cell phone.
"Hello." She answered yawning.
"Hey Sara."
"Greg it's 3pm."
"Actually it's 11 minutes past." Greg corrected.
"Greg we work Graveyard. 3pm is like 3am for most people and considering that fact that I'd been up for 38 hours and Nick had been up for longer than that we were trying to sleep."
"Sorry." Greg apologised.
"Since you've woken me up do you want to tell me why you're calling?"
"I've had an epiphany."
"That's great find a priest."
"I meant about the case."
"And it couldn't have waited until I'd slept more than a few hours?"
"You're usually the first one to jump on board when we have a case."
"I occasionally like to sleep too." Sara pointed out.
"Maybe I should call you back later."
"You've woken me up now; tell me what your epiphany was." Sara sat down on the couch she felt a little awkward considering what she had on and wished she had taken time to put on some underwear.
Greg filled her in on his idea.
"I'll meet you at the lab in an hour, I need to get dressed and eat something." Sara hung up.
Nick was sprawled out across the bed when Sara re-entered the bedroom. She went to the closet and grabbed some clean clothes.
"Who was on the phone?" Nick inquired.
"Greg." Sara replied. "Sorry I was trying not to wake you."
"I woke up the minute you got out of bed. What did he want?"
"He had an epiphany."
"Find him a priest." Nick muttered.
"About the case. I told him I'd meet him at the lab in an hour."
"You've only slept for a few hours." Nick pointed out.
"I'll be fine. You should go back to sleep." Sara gave him a quick kiss.
"And you should come back to bed." Nick tugged her against him and rolled over so he was pinning her to the bed.
"I promised Greg."
"He can have you in 8 hours."
"This should only take a few hours; I'll try and come back. It's a case Nick."
"Okay." Nick conceded.
