A/N Here is another story to whet your appetite, it's a little fluffy and definitely full of fun. please review (remember I don't own a thing).

It had been an unusual couple of weeks at the lab, not one case had been solved and all of the CSI's were at the end of their tether. The evidence from their cases was scarce and all the leads led to dead ends, everyone was feeling frustrated and most of all Gil Grissom who had to explain the lack of closed cases to Conrad Ecklie.

"I haven't had any reports from you in two weeks, why isn't your team solving cases?" Ecklie sneered

"The evidence and leads are not providing enough to close cases, as soon as anything happens I'll let you know" Grissom growled back "Now excuse me but I've got a team meeting to attend" he added side stepping Ecklie.

Grissom walked away feeling angered and knew that there was nothing he could do to change the luck of his team.

Sara spotted Grissom first and gave him a reassuring grin which immediately lightened his mood, "Hello" He said quietly as the team all turned to face him.

"Evening" Greg said happily as he was the only member of the team to be optimistic enough to hope for the best with the current situation.

"There are no new cases tonight so can everyone please take a layout room and go through each piece of evidence you have, I'll join each of you at some point tonight to offer assistance"

"I'll take layout room one" Catherine replied "I think that now we have all had some decent sleep and food we can take a fresh look at the evidence and see if anything comes up"

"I agree with Catherine, I'll look at her case first then move onto Sara's and Warrick you can go next. Greg if you lay out our case I'll finish up by going through ours again"

"What about my case?" Nick asked pretending to feel left out

"Nick, I'll look at yours after Catherine's" Grissom answered "That's it really, let's hope we can make some headway today and get some answers"

It was quite a few hours later when Nick had finally had a break through in his case, whilst he was locked in layout room two he hadn't heard or seen anyone so it came as a shock as he stood watching two people through the boss's office…

Sara was stood with her back towards Nick but from the way she and Grissom were standing it looked as though they were kissing, shaking his head he moved closer only for them to move apart and Sara to turn and leave the office.

As she drew near she smiled at Nick who looked dumbfounded "Err what was that?" he asked before she had a chance to get away

"Oh he's just happy I solved my case I guess" she shrugged "You closed yours too?"

"Yeah, almost" he smiled weakly as she walked off

He stood a few minutes longer both staring at the case file in his hand and Grissom who was now tapping his fingers on his desk staring right back at Nick, although his face held a slightly bemused look.

"Do you want to see me Nick?" he half shouted

"That depends, are you planning to kiss everyone who closes a case?"

"I'm sorry you witnessed that, I simply got caught up in the moment…not having a solved case in two weeks has been a bit of a blow for the lab"

"I understand, though I'm not sure Sara's going to be well pleased if that's all that kiss was"

"Nick…" He warned

"I know, your personal life is off limits, I just thought I'd give my opinion"

"Why not try giving me your opinion on your case; I presume that's why you're here?"

"Oh yeah, I found this…" he said holding a photo of a shoe print.

"Go and investigate it and come back when you have something solid" Grissom replied

"Didn't need to I had the exact shoe print from a shoe taken from the key suspect placing him beside the victim, plus there's the other substantial evidence that just needed backing up" he smiled "The D.A is going to start proceedings and Brass is hauling the guy in for questioning"

"Good work Nick, looks like you're almost there" Grissom smiled "I had better go and see what Greg is up to"

Nick just nodded and left the room grateful Grissom hadn't kissed him. His first thought however was how juicy this piece of information was and how one red head would love to hear about it.
