((A.N. Thanks to all those who reviewed! This chapter is a bit longer, and I hope the next one will be even more so. I just thought I'd tell you that I'm currently also working on my novel, so the chapters might have longer time in between, but this is a high priority, and I try and do at least a little every day.))

Sara walked into the building. She headed for Grissom's office. Greg may have asked her not to tell him, but she wasn't getting in trouble when Grissom found out anyway. She found him in his office, holding a magnifying glass over a jar. He looked up when she knocked.

"Come in." He said. She stepped in.

"Um, you know the case with Senator Smith?" She asked tentatively.

Grissom nodded. "Yes. The Air Force took all our evidence to Colorado."

"The evidence isn't the only thing that got taken to Colorado." She added. Grissom looked puzzled. "Greg went too."

"Why?" Grissom asked.

Sara shrugged. "They weren't exactly clear on that." Grissom looked ready to ask more questions, but she held up her hands. "Hey, I just saw them leaving. I don't know anything." Grissom sighed. Feeling like this was some sort of dismissal, she left the room, nearly crashing into Nick as he walked past the door.

"Sara!" He said, steadying her, as she swayed a little, trying to catch her balance. "Have you seen Greg?"

"Yeah." She replied. "He just left. Those Air Force people took him to Colorado." The look on Nick's face was so priceless Sara almost laughed. "Don't ask me why." She added, anticipating his question. "I don't know."

"Do you at least know how long he'll be gone?" Nick asked.

Sara shook her head. "Sorry. I just bumped into them as they were leaving. I tried to get more info, but they wouldn't say anything."

"At least he'll get to work on the case." Nick sighed. "Well, maybe he'll explain it when he gets back. It's just that nothing in the case makes any sense, and now the whole thing's classified."

"That's right, it was your case." Sara said, sympathetically. "Didn't you find out anything?"

"No." Nick replied, unhappily. "We didn't even get an autopsy done. Although we did manage to get some blood to tox. Luckily I got the results before the whole case went under locks. Everything was normal except for some unidentified element." Nick shook his head. "Absolutely nothing about this case makes sense."

"How is that new?" Sara asked. "You just have to find that piece that makes everything fit."

"It's still confusing." Nick sighed. "I don't even know how the guy died."

"Maybe it was aliens." Sara said jokingly.

Nick laughed. Then he seemed to remember why he'd been hurrying down the hall in the first place. "Well, I've got to go." He said. She nodded, and they each went different ways down the hall.

((A.N. Can't wait to see your reviews!))
