Author's Note: Um… my "sequel"? to Laser Tag in Las Vegas, I guess… lol… The team goes canoeing! Woot. Got the idea cause I went canoeing on Sunday…and almost died… wooh. lol! Gil's POV again, Grillows still. lol
"Catherine." I say in an edgy tone and glare at her.
"What?" She asks furiously. "Is it so hard to spend some time with the team?"
"We just went and played laser tag! Isn't that enough?" I almost shout.
"That was two months ago! And you enjoyed it!"
"Did not!" I shout.
"DID TOO!" Catherine yells back. Just then, Greg walks through the door of my office.
"Hey, boss, I…" He looks at Catherine's red face and my gritted teeth. "I'll come back later." Greg runs out of the office and down the hall.
"Well that was effective." Catherine says and sighs. She sits down on my desk, and I sit on my chair. "Gil, really now, it's not like it's going to be cutting into your work or anything! We're all off for a few hours on Saturday and Lindsey and Miley are really looking forward to it!"
"You told Lindsey and Miley first, instead of me?" I ask angrily. Her eyes grow wide and she clears her throat.
"Umm… no… it's just… I was going to tell you at dinner last night but you had to work and Miley was over so I asked Lindsey if she wanted to invite Miley and they got really excited and-" I jump up and place my hand over her mouth. "Phhwease?" She says through my hand and gives me puppy-dog eyes.
"Ok, ok. Fine. Whatever." I give in. Why do I always give in? It's that face she gives me. Maybe I should wear a blindfold the next time she asks me about something.
"Thank you, Gil. I swear you'll love it!" She jumps up and gives me a kiss on the lips, then runs out of my office.
"Wait… where are you going!" I call after her.
"To tell the kids!" She yells back. I groan. Here we go again…
"Gil?" I hear Catherine call from upstairs.
"Yes, dear?" I call up.
"Where's my crime lab t-shirt?"
"How am I supposed to know? Does it look like it would fit me?" I yell up the stairs.
"Well I wouldn't know since I CAN'T FIND IT!" She yells back down. I groan and begin to head up the stairs when I hear the doorbell.
"I GOT IT!" Lindsey yells from the basement and runs upstairs. She opens the door. "MILEY!"
"Hey, Linds!" Miley brings her stuff inside.
"Let's go put our stuff in the car!" Lindsey says excitedly and they run out the garage door. I begin walking up the stairs again.
"Never mind, I found it!" Catherine yells right into my ear as I get to the top step. "Oh, sorry."
"No problem." I say sarcastically and start back down the stairs. "Are we ready? Linds and Miley are already in the car."
"Uhm… I just have to put on my eyeliner." Catherine calls down to me. I groan.
"Cath, we're going canoeing… not to a wedding." I yell up the stairs.
"You just don't understand." Catherine yells down.
"You just don't understand." I say, mocking her. I see her go to the top of the staircase.
"Oh, shut up!" Catherine yells and throws her bag at me. It hits me on the arm.
"OW! What the hell do you have in there?" I yell up at her. She pops her head back into the hallway.
"You don't wanna know." She says and winks at me. I make a disgusted face and drop the bag. She's right, now I really don't wanna know.
"Ok, I'm ready." Catherine runs down the stairs in very short shorts and a tight muscle shirt that says Crime Lab on the back. Wow. I knew there was a reason they made the women buy those shirts. Catherine looks at me and I come out of my… er… meditation. She smacks me on the arm.
"God, you just wanna hit me today, don't you." I say to her. She rolls her eyes at me and we walk out the garage door.
