Ghost Stories in the Crime Lab
On a slow Halloween Night, the CSIs hang out in the break room and tell scary stories.
A/N: This is the week of Halloween, so I decided to give a little treat in the form of a story. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of CSI, I only own my original ones.
Prologue
It was rare to have a very slow night in Halloween, but this year that was the case. Grissom was doing research about insects on the internet. Catherine called Lindsey to see if the teenager was doing her homework. Warrick was playing some video games with Greg. Nick and Sara were finishing up some paperwork on a case they wrapped up on a double shift.
About an hour later, they all were sitting in the break room. On the table, there was an assortment of Halloween candy on a few black and orange paper plates. Greg made a fresh pot of his famous coffee. Brass had stopped by to help himself to a cup and some candy and left. Nick and Sara were sitting together. He had his arm around her shoulder and she laid her head on his chest. Grissom was just staring at the candies as if they were little spiders. Catherine was getting irked at the silence and so was Warrick.
"Grissom, there's nothing much going on the lab," Catherine stated the most obvious of the situation. "Can we go home and get some sleep?"
"No, we don't know if we'll get called to a crime scene," Grissom responded.
"Then, what are we going to do to pass that time?" Warrick asked.
"It's Halloween," Greg said. "Let's tell some scary stories for amusement."
"Greg, this is a crime lab," Sara protested. "We aren't at a summer camp."
"Would you rather spend this slow shift doing nothing?" Nick asked his fiancée.
Sara looked at Nick and rolled her eyes in surrender.
"Who wants to go first?" Warrick asked.
"I will," Sara announced.
