A/N: Thank you for the reviews...here is the next installment

Disclaimer: I do not own anything CSI, or Bette Midler, or Beaches, or anything you are familiar with. I do own a working knowledge of being a nurse (any guess why Angie is a nurse?) and a Texas citizenship

Greg watched Angie walk out of the CSI building with more questions in his mind than answers.

Sara called Michael Stokes again

"Stokes" he answered gruffly

"This is Sara Sidle from .."

He interrupted her "Yes Miss Sidle?"

"I find no grounds to reopen this case, I have interviewed the suspect and there simply is no evidence to point to anything other than a murder suicide"

"I don't think you looked hard enough – Nick already turned you to his views"

Michael hung up

She listened to the phone disconnect, then she called Nick

"Stokes"

"Nicky" she whimpered

"Sar, what's wrong?" Nicky was alert now, he had never heard Sara sound so broken

"Your brother just accused me of letting you influence my decision on a case"

"Angie's case?"

"Yeah," she sighed, "Nick there are simply no grounds for his accusations"

"Just be careful not to cross him Sara, he can be abusive, and as such believes that abuse is brought on by the victim, and not the abuser"

"Why?"

"Well he thinks that – Oh I gotta go, Angie just walked in"

"Bye Nick"

"Bye"

Sara gave her report to Grissom, he read over her report and the results shocked him. The DA was after his own sister? What is this guy's deal, Grissom contemplated the consequences for Nick.

Meanwhile in a small apartment somewhere in Dallas

"That BITCH!" Michael Stokes yelled

How could Nick's darling side with Angela? Didn't she know that Angela was the poison that kept Nick single? She had stolen Nick from him, those fake stories about abuse, she was a brat, she asked for it…Now that Sidle Bitch was doing the same thing.

He turned to his computer; Nick had said she was from California…

It took him about thirty minutes to find exactly what he needed to get his brother's focus back on him. "The State of California vs. Laura Sidle" Michael began to grin, interesting he thought, this bitch got her mother to take the fall for her.

It took one call to his friend at the San Francisco CSI to get the case reopened now pointing at Sara as the murderer.

At Angie's Apartment

Nick was on the phone when she got back. Angela just walked into her room. He heard Beaches start – Great, Nick thought, she's pissed. He went and got her some ice cream, if he had learned anything from the three years they shared that apartment while he was in college, it was that Beaches went with ice cream.

Back at the Lab

Sara's cell phone began to ring, but she ignored it. It was only Martin Allenson, her partner when she was at the SF CSI, it probably wasn't important she reasoned.

Broken windows and empty hallways,
a pale dead moon in a sky streaked with grey.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Scarecrows dressed in the latest styles,
the frozen smiles to chase love away.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Lonely, lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.

Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Lonely, so lonely.
Tin can at my feet,
I think I'll kick it down the street.
That's the way to treat a friend.

Bright before me the signs implore me:
Help the needy and show them the way.
Human kindness is overflowing,
and I think it's gonna rain today.

Nick listened to his sister sing along with the movie and knew her heart was breaking.

"Oh Angel" he sighed

A/N: The song is I Think it's Going to Rain Today by Bette Midler from the movie Beaches
