Finn awkwardly walked into the hospital. She had spent at least an hour at the police station giving a statement. Last she had heard Nick was awake and doing better and DB was on his way now. Mike and Nick were both in police custody until the police could determine what happened.

Finn patiently but awkwardly waited in line, as she scanned all the rooms hoping to spot Nick. As she advanced further in this never ending line she was able to see a room she thought Nick was in.

This busy emergency department reminded her of some of the Palms around the holidays. She saw the police standing by a couple doors and figured that Nick had to be nearby. Finn left the stand still line and began her search. No one seemed to mind her just wandering around.

Finn peeked in the first room and saw John, Mike's partner, holding an ice pack on his newly deformed jaw. Finn didn't even see John at the bar but she was worried now. In all the years she never knew John too be aggressive or even raise his voice. She worried now about Nick and his injuries and as much as she hated to think it she worried about Mike.

The next room had Mike in it, handcuffed to the gurney. He had some type of bandage around his side and on his nose. He wasn't as mobile as she would expect but figured that between the officer standing guard and the neck brace. She turned the corner and saw another officer standing on guard and assumed that was where Nick was.

As she started to head that way she saw a group of men headed that way led by Rocky and Buster. They were an intimidating bunch of men and Finn thought think were more guys from the 1-8.

"Jules!" Finn heard DB yell from behind.

"DB, I can..." Finn started but was interrupted by DB.

"Save it. We'll talk later. Where's Nick?" DB said not as angry as Finn had expected. Finn remained speechless as she pointed to Nick's room, as the uniform uncuffed Nick and left.

"Get out of here." One of the young 1-8ers said to the intimidated uniform officer. Only Rocky and Buster went inside to see Nick the rest stayed outside as if guarding his room. DB started in that direction and he wouldn't be as easily driven away.

"Hold it right there, sir." Another young guy said stopping DB before he could get to close the room. DB couldn't help but notice the youngman's strong southern accent.

"Excuse me, I need to see Nick." DB said but the man would not let him pass.

"Aye, Rocky... Boss man is here." He said still standing strong. The man stared Finn and DB down.

"What in the hell is going on here? Get out of my way, let me see my guy." DB said frustrated as he pointed to Nick's room, he wasn't going to let whoever this was deter him away.

"You better get that finger out of face." The young man said getting into an aggressive stance. Finn gently pulled DB back a little. Finn knew that this wasn't a regular traffic cop.

"Everyone, settle down." Rocky said walking out, pushing his guy back.

"Take a walk, tough guy. " Buster said to his guy, waving him away.

"Mr. Grissom, it's good to finally meet you. Call me, Rocky..." Rocky started Russell quickly noted the man's gruff appearance and strong southern accent.

"I'm not Grissom. My name is Russell. DB Russell."

"Who the hell are you Mr. Russell? Where's Grissom?" Rocky said taking his hand and crossing his arms.

"I'm Nick's boss, I need to talk to him." DB said still confused but not as frustrated.

"I need to talk to you first." Rocky said putting his hand on his shoulder. DB was not sure what to think but he wanted or needed, rather, to speak to Nick. "Listen, mr. Russell, I apologize about my guy, he's a pup. I need to talk to you."

"Yeah, okay." DB said getting the feeling that this guy wasn't going to take no for an answer. They start to walk away and Finn tries to tag along, with emphasis on the word tries. Both men gave her a stern look and she stayed behind.

Once the men took the corner Finn turned and looked at Nick's room, she could hear him moving around in there but couldn't see through the 1-8 barricade. She started to walk towards them trying to figure out what she could say to gain entrance.

"I need to talk to Nick, please." Finn said to the person guarding his door. The man looked at Finn as if to tell her to get lost but then she heard a voice.

"Let her in." She heard Nick say. She could not help her self but rush in, she found him laying in bed with a big bulky bandage on his head, and a black eye.

"Nick, I'm sorry..."

"Don't worry about it. I kinda proved you right, didn't i?" Nick said as he put a new t shirt on.

"Nick, I don't think you're crazy, and I didn't want you to fight Mike."

"Okay..." Nick said sarcastically.

"C'mon, Nick, I'm serious." Finn said getting frustrated.

"Really? Because you haven't asked about what happened?" Nick chuckled which made Finn angrier.

"What did you fight about?"

"You!" Nick yelled as his curtain opened and DB and Rocky returned.

"Finn, take a walk." DB said very stern. Finn hesitantly left. Nick was then left under the harsh gaze of his former boss, and his current boss.

"So what now? I know y'all did just make a social visit?" Nick said sitting back on the bed looking at them.

"I'm here to bring you back to Vegas." DB said.

"Ecklie's order's?" Nick said standing.

"Yes."

"So, let me get this straight? I get attacked at a bar and I'm getting the third degree." Nick said frustrated.

"C'mon, Nick. I'll help you pack, and we can start the drive back." DB said trying to friendly but Nick was still very angry about the turn of events.

"I don't need a babysitter." Nick said leaving.

What do you think? Sorry for the wait. This story will probably ending in the next couple chapters. I've been very busy and just recently started writing outlines for some more stories. Please review!
