"Nick." The receptionist stopped him as he walked by a few weeks later.

"Yes?"

"Is Sara back yet?" She inquired.

"No, the scene is pretty big she won't be back for a few hours yet. Why?"

"She has a visitor. I told her Sara wasn't here but she said she'd wait."

"Did she give a name?" Nick inquired.

"No. She's sat over there."

"Thanks." Nick walked over to where the woman was waiting. He instantly recognised her. "Mrs Sidle."

"Nick." She responded.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting to see my daughter."

"Sara's out on a case she won't be back for hours." Nick told her.

"I'll wait." She responded.

"Why are you here?" Nick asked.

"I told you I want to see my daughter."

"Sara told you she didn't want to see you." Nick said sitting down.

"She was angry." Laura Sidle stated.

"She's still angry, and I'm pretty certain she doesn't want to see you."

"I'll wait." Laura insisted.

"Do you want some coffee?" Nick inquired. The manners his mother had drilled meant he couldn't just leave his mother-in-law sitting there.

"That would be great." Laura agreed.

"Come on back. I'll just get you a visitors pass."

Nick poured her some coffee and excused himself for a few minutes.

He stepped far enough away from the break room so she couldn't hear his conversation, but not far enough away that he couldn't watch her after all she was a convicted murderer.

He was just hanging up his cell phone when Grissom walked up to him.

"Who is that woman in the break room? She looks familiar." Grissom inquired.

"Laura Sidle. Sara's Mom."

"I thought she was…"

"She apparently got out." Nick cut in.

"What's she doing here?" Grissom inquired.

"She wants to see Sara."

"Sara's out in the field."

"I know. I'm waiting for Vega to call me back; they wouldn't just let a convicted murderer out without putting them on parole."

"You think she breeched her parole?" Grissom asked.

"I don't know." Nick replied. "I thought I should check."

"She can't stay in the break room."

"If she breeched her parole I'll get some down to arrest her, otherwise I'll talk her into leaving and figure out something with Sara." Nick stated.

CSI

Nick hopped out of is Denali.

"Hey Nicky." Catherine who was stood by her Denali said. "Come to help?"

"Actually I need to talk to Sara."

"Everything okay?"

"She had a visitor at the lab she's not going to like." Nick replied. "Any ideas where she is?"

"Around the back." Catherine replied.

"Thanks."

Nick walked around the house and found Sara examining something.

"Find something interesting?" Nick inquired.

"Hey." Sara turned around. "What are you doing here?"

"I need to talk to you for a minute."

"Sounds serious."

"Your mother came by the lab." Nick started.

"She what?"

"She came by the lab; she wanted to talk to you. She insisted on waiting, she was there for a few hours before I found out about it."

"She got out." Sara said.

"The appeals court reduced her sentence and she got paroled."

"Paroled." Sara repeated.

"I had Vega check, she's in breech of that parole. They took her into custody; they talked to her parole officer. They're going to arrange for to be transported back to the State Penn at more reasonable hour of morning."

"Okay." Sara nodded.

"I thought you'd rather hear this from me."

"Thanks. Did she say what she wanted?"

"Only that she wanted to talk to you. I'm sorry." Nick apologised.

"Not many people can say they got their mother-in-laws arrested for breaking their parole." Sara said. "Thanks for coming to tell me in person."

"Need some help?"

"No we're almost done here." Sara replied. "But thanks for the offer. You should head back."

"Okay, but I'll be around if want to talk."
