He sighed, taking a deep breath in as he turned himself around and made his way down the hallway, stopping into Brass' office for a second, Brass himself sitting at his desk. "Hey, Brass." He looked up and quickly stood from his chair, rounding the desk.
"Hey, how she doing?"
"She doesn't seem physically hurt, Sara's processing her now. I was about to go talk to Grissom, thought I should bring your jacket back." Brass let a small smile flash in his eyes, but it was gone just as quick as it came.
"Good luck with that. You know how he's going to react, but thanks for the jacket back." Taking the jacket back from Nick's outstretched arm, Nick nodded and turned, heading out of the office without sparing a good bye. Walking slowly further down the hallway, he took a deep breath before turning into a doorway.
Nick walked quietly into Grissom's office, watching him for a moment, leaning over paperwork, reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose. Coughing, Nick watched as his supervisor gazed up at him and sat back. "Hello, Nick. What can I do for you?" A small smirk rested on his face, but swiped off and replaced with concern after Nick quietly closed the door behind him and walked forward, Brass' jacket still clutched in his hands.
"We need to talk, Grissom."
"Nicky, what is it? What's wrong?" He rose and rested everything on his desk besides his glasses and rounded his desk toward Nick. "What's happened?"
"It's Catherine. The guy, that apparently has been sending the letters and claims to be the killer, he - he almost abducted Catherine. Held her hostage with a knife, almost like putting on a show for me." Grissom's eyes narrowed after widening from the shock.
"You saw this happen?"
"No, well, yes, most of it. I went to take her kit out to her and he was holding her and trying to take her into a van, when he..he saw me walk out." He ventured forward in his story, using all the strength and will he had left to maintain his composure in front of his boss, or else he'd have to take a few days off. After he finished the horrifying account, Grissom remained silent for a few moments.
"Since this is now a criminal act, and attempted kidnapping and intent to harm, it's our jurisdiction. Any letters you now find or any other accounts are to be reported to me, I'm taking the case. You and Catherine will remain on that case and I'll just have my case moved over to somebody on dayshift, since Warrick is still out. I want you to know that I need you to pay closer attention, for you and Catherine. Do you want patrols around your places?"
"No." Nick looked back up at his boss and shook his head slightly. "Near Catherine's place, yeah. I'll be fine. The guy's going after her."
"Not necessarily." Grissom placed his glasses on the desk behind him before brushing past Nick and out of the office, and from the direction he turned, towards the locker room.
