A/N: Okay, so I'm stuck at home here on a rainy day, traffic for TWIT is slow, and one of my favorite chapters is coming up.

As mentioned before, I've already got several chapters written already, so I'm gonna upload a few more today for the heck of it.

FRIDAY, 2 WEEKS LATER

"Nick. 419 on the Strip. Desert Inn's casino." Grissom handed the sheet of paper with the details to him without meeting his eye.

Nick hung around an extra few seconds to see if Grissom would assign anyone to the case with him, but Grissom moved on, and so did he.

"Sara, you're with me." Grissom finished. Cath and Warrick had already left.

"What, again?" Sara sighed.

"Pardon?"

"For the past two weeks, every single case I work is with you! Do you not trust me or something? You know, I do have social connections with the rest of the team!" She replied indignantly.

She was right. It had been two weeks since the incident with Nick interrupting his and Sara's moment. Grissom was no longer taking any chances, and made sure Sara went on every case with him.

"Oh, so you dislike me?" Grissom asked.

"I'm starting to!" Sara retorted, and stalked out of the room. "Meet you there," she said over her shoulder. A few seconds later, Grissom heard the roar of her Denali as it roared away.

Grissom sighed, and rubbed his temples.

"She's a piece of work, isn't she?" Came Nick's voice.

Grissom looked up to see the muscular figure standing in front of him. His gaze quickly returned to his desk.

"You know, I'm really not sure what you -or I- see in her," Nick continued.

Grissom glanced up sharply. "Griss, don't deny it," said Nick, laughing, "I saw the look on your face when I ruined your almost-makeout sesh."

"I don't know what you're talking about," Grissom growled as he stood to go.

"Oh, so you won't mind if I go after her?"

Grissom froze.

"Yeah, that's what I thought." Nick snickered. "Well, I suppose she's fair game."

Grissom truly disliked how Nick talked about Sara as if she was an item rather than a person. "Get to work, Nick."

Nick snickered again. "I'm going, I'm going."

Review? Please? :P
