Disclaimer: I don't own anything. Happy?

Okay, just for an FWI I did change the first chapter where Catharine and Sara's names are spelled the way they are supposed to. I am sorry I got it wrong, I wrote that while on a month long road trip, so I didn't have internet access to check my info. Please, if I get anything else wrong, tell me so I can fix it. Thanks for the help.

So…many…reviews… I had no idea so many people would review for this story. But I am glad you did. Okay, reviewers are giving me very good suggestions for the coupling, and I am taking them into consideration. But like in the summary, you have to wait to find out who the couples are.

Okay, I am sooo sorry, but there is a new rule going around saying that I can't answer reviews. And I had all the answers to your reviews written out and everything. So instead of answering your reviews, I will thank you for them… I would like to thank Lora, KickassScot, Nobody, DOMLUVR4EVER, CSI3, Jen, Mandi, devil3567, Ann, Neviwyn, Theoretical, Gatorgrad, Maki, Em, Golden Rose, FallenStar126, mrs-sanders, Busted, Emma, Melanie, rozzy07, ArodLoverus2001, and Jewelbaby for their reviews. Thank you soo much. I have a petition about the new rule saying that we don't want it. If you haven't received it yet, ask and I will put you name and email on the petition saying that we want to be able to reply to our reviewer's reviews in chapters. So just say you want to be a part of it and I will put your name down. Thank you.

Okay, here is my second chapter. I hope you like it. I'm not sure it will be as funny as last time, but please wait. And again, if there is anything wrong with it, tell me. Please, reviews are wanted/appreciate any type! Thank you again for reading my fic, and here it goes…

Nick quickly ran up the stairs in the front of the CSI headquarters in Las Vegas. He had overslept and he had left his pager in the car, today just had to be the day when the NCIS agents were coming to help with the Chask case. "Grissom is going to kill me," he muttered, running through security. He noticed four people talking to the guard at the door, but he took no time to see who they were; before colliding with someone else that was coming out of the bathroom.

Both taken back a bit by the sudden clash, no one spoke. But finally, after a few moments, the other guy spoke first. "Man, I'm sorry; I should've been looking where I was going. Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm really sorry but I have to go," Nick picked up his pager he had dropped on the floor, and started moving towards the door; trying his best to stand up and failing. As a result to failing to stand up, he ended up running into yet another person. This time it was Warrick.

"Nick, what are you doing down there? And late?" he let down a hand to help Nick up.

"I'm sorry man; I overslept, and I never heard my pager go off and…" Nick looked around. "Are the people from NCIS here yet?" Nick asked, pulling himself up with Warrick's help.

"The NCIS agents are already here, man. They're standing behind you." Warrick made a gesture with his head towards the four people talking to the guard and the man Nick had already run into, literally.

Nick turned a deep shade of red when Catharine walked out of the door. "Nice of you to join us Nicky." She said passing by to walk up to the guard, who was shaking his head. The man standing next to him looked somewhat annoyed as he tried to explain something. And by the looks of his facial expression, it wasn't the first time. Catharine walked up, whispered something to the guard, and introduced herself to the man. They shook hands and Catharine showed him over to where Nick and Warrick were standing.

"Nick, Warrick, this is NCIS special agent Jethro Gibbs." Catharine started introducing the people. "Now let me see if I have this right. This is special agent Kate Todd, special agent Anthony Dinozzo, special agent Timothy McGee, forensic specialist Abby Sciuto and this is their coroner Dr. Donald Mallard." As their names were called, each person nodded their head. Except for special agent Dinozzo, who held out his hand.

He smiled, "I believe we've already met."

Nick smiled back, shaking his hand. "I'm Nick Stokes, so you've come down to help out, huh?"

"Well actually, we need to take them back to the prep room so they can meet the rest of the graveyard shift." Catharine added, opening the door into the headquarters. She and Gibbs walked ahead, Abby and Kate followed, then McGee and Dr. Mallard after that, and then Warrick, Nick and Tony.

"You have to tell me," Tony pleaded, in a playful attitude. "What is it like to work in Vegas?"

Warrick gave Nick a look saying, 'you better not' and Nick answered, noticing the look. "Mostly, it sucks. We work at night, so we rarely get to go out and enjoy Vegas." He shrugged. "And it doesn't help with all the crimes that keep us in work."

Tony nodded, turning to Warrick. "I never actually introduced myself to you, I'm Tony Dinozzo." He held out his hand again, and this time Warrick took it.

"I'm Warrick Brown. It's nice to meet you agent Dinozzo."

"Hey, call me Tony."

"Are you guys coming?" Sara called from down the hallway. The three guys continued walking up to Sara.

"I already introduced myself to the rest of your team." Sara said, holding out her hand. "I'm Sara Sidle."

Tony took it and shook. "I'm Tony." He smiled, shaking Sara's hand. She questionably smiled back, trying to take her hand away, though Tony kept shaking.

"Dinozzo!" Gibbs' voice ran through the hallway, like if someone had woken him up, quickly let go of Sara's hand. Blushing, he sprinted into the preparation room and sat down next to Kate.

"What was that about?" Warrick asked Sara as they too headed for the prep room. Sara shrugged, and they walked in.

The whole NCIS team was sitting on one side, with Kate and Tony arguing about something that no one had a clue of. Eventually Gibbs walked behind them, and flicked Tony on the head. Kate muffled a giggle as Grissom rose from his seat and began to speak.

"First off I want to thank the NCIS team from D.C. for coming." Grissom started, nodding towards Gibbs, who nodded back. "I will start off with what we have on this particular case. We were called to a crime scene in the south district of Vegas, a double murder, Sunday night, November 21. One man, Jason McCarthy, 56, and a woman, Megan McCarthy, 54, both dead in their suburban home. They lived there with their son, Seth, 24, for his whole life." Tony coughed, and Gibbs glared at him. Tony straightened up and Grissom continued. "The couple had matching wounds, both gunshots to the chest and head." He passed out files that contained pictures that were taken at the scene. "The man was found in the living room, the woman in the bedroom, still in the bed. In the living room we found three overturned chairs, a broken glass vase, and a broken coffee table, the leg of the table was found near Mr. McCarthy's hand. The wife was found in the bed, again, once in the chest and once in the head. Our team has discovered that from the angle of the bullet found in both Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy's heads, that the shooter had shot the second shot from a closer range." The NCIS team simultaneously turned a page in the file. "The back door was found open; there was no sign of forced entry in the rest of the house. The evidence suggests that the perp got in and out of the back door. From witnesses at the scene, we discovered that the McCarthy's had a fake rock on their back porch, which if you opened a small door, there was room for a key. The key was missing when we got to the scene. We found the key down the block in Michael Chask's front lawn. Michael was the family's landlord, and a family friend." Grissom paused to show the key inside a zip-locked bag, and then he continued on. "Witnesses from the scene say that they saw Chask enter the house from the back at about 6 pm and only one saw him leave. That one witness reported that Chask left around 9 to 9:30. Our coroner, Dr. Robbins, discovered the McCarthy couple died at around 9:30 pm. The son is still missing, and from our information, he was enlisted into the Navy at 18. We were running a test on blood we found on Chask's shirt when your block came up." Once Grissom had finished, he sat back down next to Catharine.

Nick nodded to himself saying that Grissom, nowhere in the prep, let on that they had absolutely nothing left to go on. Gibbs stood up and walked to the other head of the table.

Nick realized that agent Gibbs was exactly what he pictured a marine to look like. His gray hair was back in a well-kept flattop, he showed no emotion, and he dressed sharp. He wasn't as easygoing as Tony, and he was nowhere near as, unique, as their forensic scientist Abby. Nick noticed Sara eyeing Abby nervously, he didn't think that Sara thought too well of the gothic looking forensic scientist.

He turned and faced the audience of investigators that made up the table. "Thank you, Grissom." He stated. "But our end of this investigation is made up of the boy, petty-officer Seth McCarthy. He joined the Navy at age 18, like you stated. He was stationed in Iraq last Christmas and he had recently returned home on leave. We believe he went home to his parents in Las Vegas, we also believe that he had made it home and had been there for at least a few days. We found his body in Charleston, Harbor. He was in the loading dock to be shipped back to Iraq, packaged into an ammunition crate. Our coroner, Dr. Mallard," He nodded towards Ducky sitting next to him as he pulled out a file and read from it. "Came to the conclusion that the petty-officer died around 3 in the morning, November 22nd. He had one slit across the throat, a 2-inch incision right above the verbal cortex. He died from loss of blood."

Gibbs nodded at Abby, who stood up. "We found out that he was in Las Vegas because there was a specific compound in the crevices of his shoes. The compound, I am sure you all are aware of, it is of specific carbon molecules that-"

Gibbs gave Abby a look, she shrugged. "To get to the point, the compound is only found here, in Las Vegas, Nevada. And to confirm our suspicions, not 10 minutes after this discovery, you tried to get a DNA match on, none other than, Seth McCarthy."

"But there's one problem." Gibbs added. "From records recorded when they checked off of the ship. It said that Seth took home a friend. Kris Chapman, another petty officer. From the records, it says that they left the ship on November 13. Arrived to the McCarthy's house on the 14th. And was there on. What's most important about this case is that Kris Chapman is still missing."

Kate spoke up. "We couldn't find any of Kris's immediate relatives, but we still fear for his life. Today is December 7, so he has been missing for about 2 weeks and 2 days. We have not heard anything else."

"So this case had just turned into a missing person's." Grissom asked, messaging his temples. "Well, that means we'll just have to work harder." He stood up. "Gibbs, do you want to keep your team together or do you mind if we split them up?"

Gibbs stood up to. "The only things I ask are that Abby work with your forensic scientist and had the ability to run any test she is called for. And that Ducky is also in reach of any medical equipment he needs. We have petty-officer McCarthy's body on a jet that should be arriving any moment. So your coroner can have a look over if he needs."

"Done." Grissom nodded.

"Okay then, Tony, Kate, and McGee are under your command."

"Okay, Catharine, you take special agent McGee, and agent Gibbs to the crime scene, take Sara with you.

Catharine nodded, and walked out of the room. Gibbs followed, walking by Tony on the way out. He bent down to whisper something in his ear, Nick thought it sounded like "Behave," and then Gibbs flicked Tony on the head, before finally walking out of the room. McGee after him, talking to Sara.

"I'm Timothy McGee," he held out his hand. "It's a pleasure to work with you.

Sara smiled, shaking his hand. "I'm Sara Sidle."

"MCGEE!" Gibbs' voice once again rang down the hallway. McGee sprinted after him, and Sara followed.

"Okay, okay, good." Grissom hung up the phone as Abby walked up. He turned to her, pointing out the glass windows that made the walls. "Greg should be here any moment to show you to the lab."

"Thanks."

Dr. Robbins had already left with Ducky following. Nick had glanced over into their conversation, and from what he could make out, they had started talking about their years at Medical school.

So Tony, Kate, Warrick, Grissom, and he were the only ones left in the room. Grissom turned away from telling Greg about something and walked back into the room.

"Nick, you and Warrick show Tony and Kate the evidence we have collected, then meet up with Catharine at the crime scene, I am heading over there now." Grissom told Warrick and Nick, who both nodded.

"Sir?" Kate had walked up to ask Grissom a question.

"Yes, agent Todd?" Grissom asked, smiling.

"I was wondering if there was anywhere I was needed."

"Yes, you are going to check over the evidence we have here at the lab with Warrick and Nick." Grissom told her.

"And Tony?"

"He will be going with you."

Kate grumbled, "Thank you sir." She then walked back to where Tony was standing. Along the way Nick heard her mumble something along the lines of "Damn." before she reached Tony. He asked her a question, she answered, and he smiled, holding out his hand. She frowned, taking out her wallet and handing him a five. He laughed, and she poked him in the stomach and told him something else. Nick thought that they looked like brother and sister, and wondered if they were related. He would have to wait to find out.
