Disclaimer: I do not own any CSI characters (Hmmmm but wouldn't it be nice to own Nick and Greg...)
This is my second ever fan fiction, and my first Vegas attempt.
Chapter 1
"Everyone on time tomorrow please" says Grissom, a slight sound of pleading in his voice, "can't deal with Ecklie again, ok? Greg, that includes you, Greg? Greggo!"Exasperated. Nick reaches over and taps Greg firmly on the head and an earphone pops out of his ear.
"What was that?" He says, looking up.
Everyone groans, "On time, Greg, tomorrow, ok?"
"Yeah, sure" he shrugs. "See ya!" He stands up, grabs his jacket, places the earphone back in his ear, and waves on his way past the window.
There's a group sigh. Everyone starts to get up.
"See ya guys tomorrow" says Warrick, standing to leave.
...
"Did you even go home?"Catherine asks Grissom.
"Sure I did, I showered and changed! Are you saying all my clothes look the same?" Came the reply.
"No of course not, you just seem to be here when I leave, here when I return, you know!" She laughs. "Anyway everyone's waiting for assignments."
Grissom gets up, huffs a bit and puts down the bug he's been studying, "see ya soon maggie" he says and follows a chuckling Catherine out of the door. Walking into the room down the hall, he looks around. Warrick, Sara, Nick, Catherine...
"Where's Greg?" He demands. Everyone looks at each other.
"Who knows!" Nick shrugs.
Sighing, "Ok, assignments, I've left them in my office! Someone call Greg, I'm going to get your jobs."
They all look at each other until Catherine says "Ok, I'll call him" rolling her eyes. Pulling out her cell phone she starts to dial.
Grissom's rifling through his desk, "I know they're here somewhere" he mutters, "argh" he moans. "Aha! Here they are" walking back to the others he reads through the assignments there isn't much on tonight, wouldn't be pairs, more groups assigned.
Arriving back in the room, he asks "So?"
Catherine responds "No answer, to be honest that's not like Greg, he likes to answer his cell, makes him look popular!" The others chuckle.
"Well, I'll assign, send him to me when he gets in!" Growls Grissom. "Catherine, Sara, Warrick, you've got a double on the strip, MGM Grand, its a bit sensitive, so I've been told - tread carefully! Nick you're with me and and the missing Greg, old case, it's being re-opened, new evidence and testimony etc, lets go."
...
The shift dragged by, Nick and Grissom trawled through old evidence trying to spot any mistakes or omissions that could've happened. The other three dealt with their case and the shift came to an end, with no sign of Greg.
"Ok, so now I'm a bit worried about Greg, and I don't get worried you know, he'd be here right, or call in?" Nick says, concerned, "I'm going to stop by his place on my way home, to check it out. I'll fill you guys in Ok?"
"I'll catch a ride with you, if you don't mind, you're going my way if you're going to check on him." Says Sara.
"Alright people, see you tomorrow" he says, and walks away with Sara.
"I'm sure he's alright, you know Greg, he probably forgot he even had a shift..." Cajoles Sara.
"I know, need to check though, its not like him really" Nick says pulling up outside Greg's apartment block. "I'll only be quick" he says.
Nick gets out of the car, lets himself into the building and starts climbing the stairs. At Greg's door he bangs with his fist, the door swings open.
"Greg?" Nick shouts questioningly. Entering, he puts his hand on his gun, "Greg?" He calls again. Looking around, there's not really any way to say if they'd been a struggle, the place was always a mess! Grabbing his cell phone he rings Sara.
"Sara Sidle" she answers.
"Hey, it's me Nick, I think we may have a problem, get hold of Gris!"
