The Look Of Love ( part 7)
Saturday night Nick once more found himself at Sophia's door. "I have fixed dinner here if that is OK with you?" "It is great," he said.
She had already set the table, there was soft music playing and candles lit.
While they ate they talked about everything, everything but work. Sophia said 'shop talk' was strictly forbidden.
After dinner they went for a walk, hand in hand.
This time, after he had walked her to the door, he did not ask he just kissed her.
Meanwhile at a restaurant across town Hodges and Wendy were having their first date. They had hit it off right away, this surprised everyone, they all thought Wendy was smarter than that.
As they were getting ready for bed Gil gently redressed the wound. "It is not that bad," he told her.
For some reason she did not believe him. "Sure," was all she said. "Are you calling me a fibber?" he asked as he started to tickle her.
Laughing she said, "Yes," She was able to breakaway from him, "You better stop that," she told him. "And if I don't?" he said grabbing her again.
"I will pee my pants," she said laughing.
"We can't have that happen can we," he said as he took her pajama bottoms off. She smiled at him and removed her top, he removed his too.
She gently pushed him to the bed, "I don't know why we even wear them, most of the time they wind up on the floor,"she said smiling at him.
"Because it is so much fun taking them off you," he said as he kissed her. His lips went to her breasts, he loved the way they taste.
He gently sucked at each of them, Sara moaned softy as she ran her fingers up and down his back.
He moved between her legs, he lift her hips so her womanhood was right in his face. He used his tongue and fingers to bring her to her climax.
He moved atop her, kissing her gently he entered her.
Soft moans quickly turned to screams of pleasure, racing pulses and breathing proceeded their climax.
Gil lay his head on her chest, waiting for his strength to return, when it did he moved form atop her and cradled her in his arms.
The next morning Sara woke before Gil, she managed to get up without waking him.
She smiled as she picked up her pajamas from the floor, "They end up there most of the time."
She slipped them on and went to the kitchen, by the time Gil was up breakfast was finished.
"I thought I took them off you?" he said putting his arms around her and kissing her. "You did," she smiled, "and I put them on."
"So does that mean I can take them off again?" he said starting to unbutton the top.
"Not now," she playfully slapped at his hands, "later."
Catherine woke up, she went to cuddle next to Warrick but he was not there. "Sorry, had to pee," he said kissing her. "We still have a few minutes," she said pulling him next to her, "and I know just how to spend them." She let her hand tenderly stroke his manhood. "I like your way of thinking," he said as he pulled one of her nipples into his mouth.
Sophia woke with a smile on her face, she had dreamed of Nick. Nick had dreamed of her also but his dreams were rated XXX.
The team spent the day taking care of the normal things that need to be done.
Slowly they made their way to work. No one was surprised to see Gil and Sara there first.
Giving him a kiss Sara told Gil she would meet him in the break room.
Catherine looked at Sara and she smiled. "What?" Sara asked. "I told you, the look of love, I saw it in your eyes from day one."
Sara was about to say something when Gil came in, assignments in hand.
"Nick, I am going to let you take Greg with you." "Please no more dumpsters," Greg begged. Everyone laughed. "No, there is a body at a gym, it seems someone crushed his skull. Warrick you and Cath have a body of your own, a leaper off the SILVER DOLLAR. Sara and I have a stabbing in the park."
At the park Sara was talking to Dave when Gill called her, "Care to go for a walk?" he asked.
She looked at him with a very puzzled look, he pointed to a blood trail. They started to follow it. Gil was just a little ahead of Sara, he had been in this area before.
"Do you know where we are?" he asked. "Yes," she said, "we had a double over there." She had pointed across the street to a bar, it was a gay bar.
They kept following the blood drops, suddenly Gil stopped, Sara almost bumped into him.
"I don't believe it," he said. Sara followed the direction of his eyes, her mouth fell open.
Sitting at one of the tables was Conrad Ecklie, sitting with him, with his hand on Ecklie's, was a young man that had been to the lab before asking for Ecklie.
Sara looked at Gil and he at her, he just kept going. "I did not see anything," he said. "Neither did I," she replied, "His private life is his business."
The blood trail ended at a body. "I take it that is our victim," Gil said.
Gil called Dave to come get the body. More evidence was collected and Sara and Gil went back to the lab.
At the lab Sara and Gil were discussing the case when Ecklie came in.
"Thought you were off," Gil said. "I am, I just have to get something from my office. Sara, can you please excuse us for a minute?" Ecklie asked.
Sara went to the break room and grabbed a soda. Nick was watching the TV, "What's up?" he asked nodding towards the office.
"I have no idea," she replied.
A short time later Conrad left Gil's office, he nodded at Sara as he left. Sara went to Gil, he told her that Ecklie had seen them across the street, "I told him we saw nothing, what he chooses to do off the clock is his business."
Sara agreed with him.
Nick came into the office, "Hurry, you have got to see this." They went to the TV, there was a newscaster standing in the lobby of the SILVER DOLLAR.
They were talking about an office involved shooting. No details were being released.
Almost at the same time Gil's phone rang. After the call he told Sara to get their kits then to Nick he said, "We need to go. Sophia and Jim were both involved in the shooting. Warrick is not sure how they are."
Using his CSI ID Gil and others went to the hotel. Catherine came over to them.
She told them that she and Rick were investigating the leaper when all hell broke loose.
Someone came in off the street waving a gun, he threatened to kill them all unless he got a million dollars.
"We called Brass and he and Sophia showed up. The gunman had taken the owner into his office, Sophia was trying to talk to the man, a glass broke and shots were fired. That is all we know," Catherine told them.
Gil went over to the one in charge. After a little while he came back to the team.
"Nick, go to the hospital Sophia needs you." Nick took off. "As for the rest of you the room is clear. Cath you and Warrick process it. Sara and I will be in the alley."
"What about Jim?" Sara asked. "He is in the alley," Gil said heading that way. In the alley they see Jim, he had his hand wrapped in a dressing.
Sophia had the man distracted while Jim tried to get in the room through the back door. He did not know there was a vase by the door, the vase broke, the man shot Sophia and Brass shot him, he hurt his hand trying to get to Sophia.
At the hospital Nick found Sophia. Fortunately for her the man has a bad aim, it was only her shoulder that was injured.
Nick went to her, "Are you alright?"
"I have been better," she joked. "I thought I had lost you," Nick said, "and I don't want that to happen. I have just found you." He kissed her.
Sophia looked at him and smiled, "I have no plans to go anywhere."
She was released, the doctor said she would need help for a while. Nick assured him she would not be alone.
Shift ended, Nick stopped at his place, got a few things and took Sophia home. "I am going to take care of you," he told her.
"You don't have to," Sophia said, "I will be fine."
"I have to," Nick said gently taking her in his arms, "I love you." Sophia smiled, "Me too."
Warrick and Catherine went home, they were both too tired to even undress. Hitting the pillows they fell asleep.
Wendy and Hodges met for breakfast, they had a few things to talk about.
Gil was sitting on the bed when Sara came in from the bathroom. She walked over to him and kissed him. She looked at him and smiled, "I believe it is 'later'." Smiling, he remembered their conversation at breakfast. He reached and unbuttoned her top, this time she did not stop him, she let it fall to the floor.
