(where is Gris anyway?)
(I'm trying a little subplot to give Nick some action...hope it's okay. Some of it's a teeny bit backposted to accomodate it and still not get me way ahead. )
Nick was making his way back to the lab, not aware of the goings on with the others in the group. Later on, he was have a hard time recalling what happened, because it was all so fast. He swerved the Tahoe as something blew out the driver's side window. He thought it was a bullet or bullets, but with the tires screeching and glass breaking, it was hard to hear whether a shot had been fired or not.He struggled to control the Tahoe as the big vehicle went into a skid, felt a sudden shuddering impact, and blacked out.
When he finally woke up again, he wasn't sure how badly he was hurt, only that he was in pain. A few trickles of blood ran down his forehead and he was a bit disoriented. He reached for his mike and made a call for assistance, surprised that his voice was weak, and waited for the ambulance to arrive.
(a couple ideas came to mind. Warrick and Cath could see the accident from the restaurant...I don't know if Gris's office has a scanner but if it does and he's in, he could her the call...or you can just wait for the hospital people to call in a post or two. Up to you. I like the first one myself. Oh, he's not going to die or anything, but he'll be feeling the pain for a bit, poor boy
He wasn't shot, just lost control when the shot(s) was fired.)
