The doors to the Las Vegas crime lab opened and Hodges entered with a big smile on his face.

"Good morning!" he greeted with a warm and high voice. The clerk looked around the room, but no, there was noon else there. "G-good morning…" she stuttered after a moment of shock. Hodges had never noticed her before, and he always acted bitter and hostile towards other people. She had never even seen him smile before!

Hodges went over to her desk and gave her his hand.

"I believe we never introduced ourselves, I'm David Hodges" he said and smiled. Slowly, she reached him her hand. He grabbed it and shook it enthusiastically."Nice talking to you!" he said giving her his most heartfelt smile, before continuing down the hall.

The clerk, who was still recovering from shock, followed Hodges with her eyes as he went down the hall. What had gotten into him?!


With quick steps Greg walked the corridor. His nose was strictly pointing down into the pile of files he was carrying. He had found something that he thought could help solving the case he and Grissom were working on. His eyes were frenetically trying to read the small lettered text as he hurried down the hall.

All of sudden, he felt something hit his arm that made him drop his files.

"Dammit!" he exclaimed. He bent down to pick up the files when he heard a familiar voice. He knew it but couldn't really place it. It was gentle, but it was different, it was… Hodges.

"Woah!" it said. "Where is all this negative energy coming from?! Cheer up! It's a beautiful day my friend, try to make the best out of it!" Hodges patted Greg on the shoulder. "It's all going to be just fine!" Hodges said, and smiled before once again continuing deeper into the lab.

Greg stood there, speechless. He had never seen anything like it! As a crime scene investigator he had seen a lot of strange things. But this, this right here, took the price.


Grissom sat by his desk. The case he and Greg had been working on still hadn't been solved and the sheriff wanted answers. He took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes. This wasn't going anywhere…

He raised his head and stared blankly through the glass doors in his office. He lost focus and kept staring for a long time before he abruptly came to life again when he, peculiarly enough, saw Hodges dance his way by the doors. Grissom rubbed his eyes again to make sure he wasn't going mad, but yes, he had seen right the first time. He motioned for Hodges to get in his office.

"Hodges, close the door please" he asked putting on his glasses. He sighed when he realized Hodges had learnt from his little mistake before. "You were supposed to be on this side this time Hodges!" he shouted.

Hodges went inside and stood by the door. Grissom could see that Hodges was very eager on getting to work for a change. "Are you ok, Hodges?" Grissom asked and raised his eyebrows. A giant grin spread on Hodges face. "Why wouldn't I be? It's a wonderful day in our wonderful lives!"

Grissom had no response to that. He was taken by Hodges positive attitude, what was going on? He watched as Hodges stood there for a while. This was genuine happiness. "Ok then." He nodded, "Get back to work."


Oh! What is going on? Well considering this is a Wedges fic, it's not that hard to figure out.:P Anyway, wait and to see what will happen! And remember, comments are everything.
