A/N I'm back, still don't own anything and still have thousands of ideas running riot in my little brain lol
Greg was leaning against the doorway of the break room, his eyes fixed on Grissom's office where the occupant was pacing for the umpteenth time that day. It was three hours since Sara had stormed out, leaving the rest of the team with no doubt that their two favourite CSI's had argued yet again.
"Hey G, what are you doing?" Nick asked flinging his jacket over his shoulder signalling it was almost end of shift.
"Oh you know…thinking" Greg answered his eyes not moving from Grissom's office.
"You heard the argument too?"
"Yeah, you know I think I'm going to go and talk to him"
"Well good luck, Catherine and Brass have tried, and Warrick and I haven't the guts to talk sense into him" Nick grimaced.
"You'll see Nicholas Stokes, I have my ways" Greg said breaking eye contact with the office to smile wickedly at Nick.
"I need to find Warrick, he'll want to bet against this" Nick laughed watching Greg strut his way into the office.
"Grissom…"
Grissom stopped pacing to see his young protégé stood meekly by the doorway "Yes Greg" he said impatiently.
"I was just wondering if I could have a word"
"Sit" Grissom ordered motioning the chair by the desk. "This had better be important; I don't have time for anything else"
"Well I think it is more important than anything in this lab" Greg replied folding his arms "Jobs come and go but Friends and family stick around you know"
"No Greg why don't you enlighten me" Grissom said slowly
"I know you don't want another lecture but I guess I have just one thing to say" Greg paused as he tried to calm his nerves "One day your going to wake up and realise how much you love her and when that day comes she's going to be waking up next to the person who already knows"
Grissom frowned at Greg, he knew exactly how he felt about Sara and Greg was right, if he didn't do something about it now…she'd move on.
"Thanks for that Greg…next decomp is yours" Grissom replied trying to keep his authority in place
Greg stood nodding "It was worth it" He mumbled walking back out of the office.
Greg was relatively pleased with himself and was just about to gloat to Nick of his success when Nick cut across him.
"So how many decomp's did he give you?"
"Just the one, why?" He asked seeing Warrick hold out his hand for payment and understood immediately.
"What did you say to him…I was thinking he'd give you more than one decomp"
"I just said that by the time he does something she'll be waking up next to someone who already has"
"Nice…you have a way with words my friend" Nick said clapping Greg on the shoulder.
"Why thank you Nick, I'm going out to breakfast why don't you two join me" He replied watching as both Nick and Warrick shrugged in agreement.
"As long as its on you" Nick laughed, frowning suddenly as Grissom flew past the DNA lab in a hurry "I think your little talk might of worked G" He smiled pointing to the exit.
All three men chuckled as they followed the path Grissom had just gone down only to see Catherine looking puzzled…
"Let me guess…you all know something I don't and breakfast is on the cards so that you can fill me in"
"Got it in one" Greg smiled holding out an arm for her to link.
