It all started nearly 11 years ago. Greg was just looking to get away from his job for a few days and just relax.
And where better to do that then home in San Gabriel.
June 2002
Greg and his best friend Ryan were just going to catch a few waves just to relax and let off some stress from there jobs. Greg was a lab tech but was training to become a CSI with the Las Vegas Crime Lab, and Ryan was training to be an FBI Agent in Chicago. It was suppose to be a week of nothing but relaxation and surfing, but things don't always go as planned.
Ryan had mentioned he had heard of this very exclusive place called Heritage Beach and that it was a big place for a lot of inexperienced surfers, so Greg decided to give it a try. Upon arriving they decided to head into the surf shop to rent some gear and hit the waves.
Morgan's step dad owned the shop, she would work there during the summer with her best friend Cassie to make a little bit of money for college. She still always had this sadness about her ever since her dad left when she was 14. But she never changed her mind about wanting to become a CSI and was willing to fight for it.
It was a slow day so there were just sitting around until time to close, until Morgan heard the bell on the door ring she turned around and was met by two really handsome guys. She went over to them and asked if she could help them and Greg replied with "Just looking to see if we could rent out some gear and hit the waves for a couple of hours?" and she said "Sure just get what you need." When she went to ring him up there eyes met for just a second and when she went to hand him his change the fingers grazed together. And both of them felt that in just that moment the rest of the world had disappeared. And in that moment nothing would ever be the same again.
