Ch3: The Lab
It was almost the end of shift. Nick and Wendy had been trying to avoid the conversation of what happened.
"Oh Nicky you had a night" Catherine nagged touching Nick's hickey with her finger. Nick just laughed nervously.
"Only if you knew… so what's up?" Nick said desperately trying to change the topic.
"I need you to drop these off at trace… and these at DNA, I have to go on a case… bye Nicky" she said giving him two evidence boxes.
Nick reluctantly entered the DNA lab with a knot in his stomach.
"Hey Wendy, Catherine needs you to run these for her" he said giving her a few samples; they continued to stare at each other before they started laughing.
"Umm… yea thanks" she said, taking the samples "nice hickey" she whispered. Nick immediately covered his and looked away to see Hodges staring at them.
"What happened to yours?" Nick said looking back over at Hodges.
"Makeup is a wonderful thing, don't mind him he's been staring at me all-day" she said an awkward silence took over the room, Wendy looked at the ground and Nick looked at her.
"… Stokes to interrogation, Stokes to interrogation" the PA sounded.
"Oh ah I should probably go"
"yea, I'll see you around"
"yea…" Nick said reluctantly leaving. He dropped off his samples at lab were Hodges looked angry and acted sassy towards Nick.
After Nick left to interrogation, Hodges left and walked into the DNA lab. He roared with jealousy which made Wendy nervous. If word got out that Wendy and Nick hooked up, it could have a terrible turn out. Someone would have to transfer, possible demotion for Nick.
"Hey..." Hodges whispered
"what's up?" Wendy answered
"nothing I just wanted to apologize about last night, I shouldn't have acted like such an ass"
"okay" Wendy said continuing her work.
"Are you alright? You seem kind of… weird" Hodges said looking at her funny.
"I'm fine"
"okay if you say so" he said leaving, Wendy sighed.

In interrogation...
"you were mad at her?" Nick said standing next to the perp. Closing in.
"well hell yeah... I was pissed she was cheating" the perp said, Nick opened up to the crime scene photos showing the perp.
"mad enough to kill her!" Nick said, the perp's whole demeanor changed he started to look really sick. The man turned and throws up on Nick's shirt; he fell out of the chair. Nick left, to the locker-room pissed. He throws away his shirt without thinking.
He searched throw his locker looking desperately for an extra shirt. Then he remembered it was in his office. He had to walk through the whole lab without his shirt, with all the afflictions of the night prior showing.
Once he made it to his office he forgot to shut the door. He searched desperately threw his drawers of his desk. There was a knock at the door.
"Oh Nicky, oh Nicky" Catherine said, chuckling a bit.
"Yes Catherine"
"seems you found yourself a biter... Who's the lucky lady?"
"no one"
"yea ok, who is she?"
"don't worry about it Cath"
"I probably don't even know her…" Nick's face changed as Catherine joked with him "or do I?" Nick stood up and motioned Catherine to come in. "is it someone in the lab?" Catherine said shocked, Nick buried his face in his hands and nodded yes.
"Yea, it was just that one time I swear… I had too much to drink"
"Sara?" Catherine said sitting across from Nick.
"No no, I can't tell you because then you would have to Ecklie and I don't want to put you in that situation"
"Nicky please, you know that I'm not one to follow protocol besides you're my friend before anything… so was it Mandy?"
"no…"
"who's left? Was it…" Catherine thought hard then she realized who "Wendy! You slept with Wendy!"
"don't shout, geez Cath yea it was Wendy"
"what happened?"
"I don't know I woke up in her bed naked you put it together… what am I going to do?"
"I don't know Nicky"

It was finally the end of shift and end of a very strange day. Wendy walked to her car and tried to start it; it made a funny noise and died.
"No… no… no" she cried she went outside the car and opened the hood as smoke started coming out.
"You need any help?" she her Nick call out from his Denali. Before she could answer he was already standing next her he was wearing one of Greg's shirts which looked funny.
"Yea thanks... Nice shirt"
"thanks, some guy throw up one today" Nick said coughing he started clearing out the smoke. "Wendy your transmission shit the bed" Nick said stepping away, coughing.
"Oh no!" Wendy said running into the car.
"Wendy I can give you a ride home" Nick said hesitate.
"Are you sure?" Wendy said looking at the ground.
"Yea," Nick said moving his shoulder as it started to ache. "I mean only if you're comfortable with it"
"okay, what happened to your arm?"
"I don't know it's just been sore since Henry's birthday, when I got into that accident"
More to come!
