*blush * Now, so many chappies at once? Well, I had part of the story already written, but don't get used to it. The chunk of the story is still on my internal hard drive i.e. brain and won't be up for well, quite a while.

Anyways, on with the story; no Hodges in this one, but it fits in somewhere before Nick moves into Gil’s position.

Have fun and remember to R&R!^^

Day in, day out

Catherine sat in her office, watching Nick, who sat slumped in the visitor’s chair.

Trying to keep a straight face, she mumbled,

“That..that’s..”

“Pathetic, I know”, sighed Nick. Catherine blinked.

“I meant to say ‘sad’, but since you pointed it out… I mean, it’s –nice, and-and sweet and all, but- Hodges? I’m not saying that he’s a bad guy or anything, but, Nicky- Hodges?!?” As if hit, the Texan shot up from his seat and bellowed,

“What is it with everybody? The moment I mention his name, every person gives me this -disgusted look! Ok, fine, he’s rude and snobbish and- and- a nosy wisecrack, but still.. he can be so nice, if he wants to. Why can’t they see that he’s basically a good person? He only…doesn’t know how to show it! Is it too much asked to give him a second chance?” Catherine rose both hands in defense.

“Nick, Nick, calm down, calm down, ok? I understand how –frustrating that this must be for you, but let’s face facts: Hodges pulled several stunts on us that could have had him suspended, demoted or even fired, if Gil and I hadn’t spoken up for him! Remember the reality TV-thing? He jeopardized not only his work but also the entire team with that action. There is such a thing as trying too hard, and Hodges went way out of line to get the attention he craved for. Yes, I agree that he has made and makes amends, but his social skills are still quite substandard. Given, he is absolutely brilliant at his job, but Nick, do you really want to become involved with someone who takes such great pleasure in…ridiculing others? Besides, there‘s one more obstacle I think you haven’t taken into consideration.”

Nick, who had been pacing the office all through Catherine’s speech, came to a halt.

“And that would be?”

“Wendy.”

At the mention of the DNA technician, Nick groaned and buried his face in his hands. How on earth could he forget about the brunette? She was, after all, his fiercest rival. Ok, so she was his only rival, too, but still.

Catherine gave a soft, understanding smile and patted the chair opposite of her.

“Come. Take a seat. There’s no need to break it over the knee. Besides, we’ve got more important things to discuss.”

Nick sighed, shook his head and scratched his neck in confusion.

“I-I don’t know, Catherine, it –it doesn’t fit..seem right…can’t you..give me more time?”

The blonde sighed and brushed her hair back.

“Nick. You have been stalling this for weeks. I understand that this is a difficult decision to make, but you-“ Nick turned to fully face her, his expression stern.

“Why didn’t you take it? I mean, you already are supervisor, and with all your experience and- and-“ The Texan trailed off, grasping for words. Catherine gave an exasperated sigh, as she argumented,

“Nick. You have just as much experience as I. You passed all the needed exams, the psych test and have a good reputation both among your coworkers as well as Brass’ team. If I had the slightest doubt that you weren’t up for the job, I wouldn’t push you into this position.”

Frowning, Nick placed both hands on his hips and growled,

“You evaded my question. Why did you not take Gil’s old position?”

For several moments, the two CSIs just stared at each other, before Catherine rose and declared,

“Because I need somebody whom I can trust absolutely and who is not afraid to question my decisions. I need someone who can relate to his coworkers and the victims’ relatives as well as handle Ecklie without punching his teeth in. I need you to help give the -balance and stability back to the team. We need you. I need you.”

Stunned, Nick stared at the blonde woman before him, before closing his mouth and swallowing hard.

Catherine never once broke eye contact.

They stood like this for the longest time, fighting a silent battle neither one was willing to lose.

Finally, Nick gave a small, agreeing nod.

“Fine. You’ll have my answer by next Tuesday.”

Catherine’s smile lit up the room, and Nick had the distinct feeling that he would be switching offices in the not so distant future.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

*winces * Yeah, I know, cheesy and predictable, but I wanted this to somehow fit in with the canon, so there. I still got troubles with Nick's accent, though, but hopefully it'll get better as the stories continues.

Hope to see you around!^^
