Ch2: Confrontation

Nick opens his eyes but it takes a minute for his vision to focus. He feels pain all over but he feels wetness on his forehead and checks it. He sees that he's got a nasty gash on his forehead. He looks over and sees Finn in a daze next to him, with blood gushing out of her nose. Everything is quiet and dusty. The air was so thick Nick found it difficult to breath and coughed a little.

"Are... Are you alright?" Nick asked breathless. He saw Finn knocking the airbag away and took that as a yes. Nick did the same feeling a tremendous pain in his wrist. It was swelling as he looked. Nick cut the seatbelt with his knife and climbed out of the car falling onto the hard and hot pavement.

It was so quiet Nick feared the worst for the other driver. Nick had the green light he didn't even see the other driver. His eyes were on the road however his head was not. He was arguing with Finn and now look.

Nick was beyond relieved to see that the driver was alive and breathing. Nick opened his door and the driver fell out and the car smelt of cheap booze and body odor. Nick pushed the driver back inside as the blood from his cut started to drip in his eye. He wiped his eye and covered his cut with his good hand and then saw Finn climbing out his window. Fearing she would fall Nick helped her out. Once on her feet she pushed Nick away, blood slowly dripping from her nose. Finn favored her one ankle.

"What the heck you can't even drive?" Finn yelled she was angry as was Nick hitting his chest.

"Go to hell! If anything this accident your fault, if you would just let me drive without arguing with me about everything!"

"That's a load of BS and you know it!"

"Hardly! If you would just shut up this wouldn't have happened!"

"This happened because you were more worried about whoever was on your phone rather than driving!"

"Shut up, already!" Nick yelled. "That guy is drunk. He blew the red light and hit us. It's his fault go yell at him." Nick said walking away.

"Blaming someone else, typical." she said, reminding Nick of an argument that he and Catherine had awhile back.

"I'm done." Nick said putting his arms up in surrender, trying to stop his anger from getting the best of him. They saw police coming.

"Now it's on the record."

"What the fuck is your problem with me? You have been nonstop all day. What is it?" Nick yelled.

"Go to hell!" Finn said pushing him again.

"I'll meet you there." Nick said smirking.

As the officers pulled up and they just saw the two in such a heated argument that they thought they were the two drivers in the accident. The officers immediately separate the Finn and Nick. Finn's nose stopped bleeding while

Nick's cut still bled.

"Sir, we need you two to separate." the officer said to Nick as the other walked away with Finn.

"We were in the car together. She's not the other driver she was riding with me. The other driver is in the car."

"Then why are you arguing?"

"Good question..." Nick said flabbergasted.

Shortly later DB and Sara show up as Nick is getting his arm splinted in the back of the ambulance. Nick has a band aid on his forehead and parts of his face and shirt are still covered in blood. They see officers holding Finn back and they hear them both yelling.

"What's going on?" DB yelled, the crowded immediately quieted down.

"This guy is a total moron!" Finn said earning a heated glare from Nick.

"She's out of her mind." Nick yelled back, hopping out of the ambulance.

"He's..."

"That's enough!" DB yelled.

"I can't work with him!"

"It ain't any pleasure work with you either." Nick quickly added.

"No one is talking to you cowboy!"

"Shut up." Nick said, Finn threw her ice pack at Nick hitting him in the chest. It didn't hurt it was more annoying than anything. "Wow, really?"

"Yeah really. You pompous ass."

"What is your problem?" Nick yelled throwing the ice pack on the ground. She had gotten under his skin, he couldn't gain his composure. Finn goes to spit on Nick but misses. "Are you insane?"

"Alight! Sara, go with Nick to the hospital! Finn, get your ass over here. What has gotten into you?" DB said pulling Finn aside. Finn shook her head, as she watched Nick leave in the ambulance. "So, what's going on?"

"Don't do that. You know damn well what's wrong!" Finn said in a harsh whisper. DB pulled her further aside, and looked away.

"That's not him."

"I know! But he looks like him. A lot like him."

"He does but that's not him. Nick is a good CSI, one of the best and he's a good guy."

"Whatever..."

"No, Jules. It's not whatever. Cool it." DB instructed coldly.

A couple hours later, Nick was getting his wrist casted. He got five stitches in his head and had a cracked ulna.

"Sar, I don't know what her problem is with me. Ask Greg at the crime scene she was demeaning and second guessing everything, and you saw her. She tries to spit on me in front of DB." Nick said. "maybe I did something?"

"I doubt it. Maybe she just doesn't like you."

"but why?"

"Mr. Stokes, what color do you want your cast to be?"

"um, black please."

"why not pink?" Sara joked.

"haha, not funny." Nick said smiling.

Afterwards Sara dropped Nick off at a nearby bar, Nick had had a reasonably stressful day and needed to take the edge off. Nick sat at the bar and ordered a beer and watched the game. Nick had started to feel better or maybe it was just the alcohol working.

Nick used the bathroom and looked at his appearance in the mirror. He debated how he would wash his hands luckily his left wrist was the one casted so at least he will still be able to work, it's not like a broken leg. Nick washes his hand. Nick smoothes his hair with his other hand trying to prevent stiffness but it was really sore.

Nick walked back into the bar and saw Finn next to his seat. She looked like she was in a similar state as Nick as she sipped her own drink.

"why me?" he asked himself quietly, but then he started thinking maybe now he can find out why she doesn't like him or get spit on. Nick moved to his seat which was next to Finn.

How do you like it so far? What will happen next? I bet you can't guess... Please Review!
