It's taking me 2 years since Scarlet and I had first started discussing me writing this. I'm not sure if this is what she had in mind for it but here it is on her birthday. Happy Birthday again Scarlet aka my Leonardo...

Disclaimer: I do not own the show or the charcters only my own characters.

t had been 4 year since he had called Las Vegas his home. 4 years since he had seen his second family. Things were so much different now. He had only been back for a little less then a year now, but he was quickly adapting to the new people.

Greg was sitting behind his desk finishing up paperwork for a case he had just closed, when Henry came into the room with one of the newer team member, Everett Jordan.

"Hey Greg. Everett and I are going to go grab a beer. Do you want to join us?"

Greg looked up from his desk at the two men standing in the door way. "Uhhm yea sure. I just finished my paperwork, just give me a few minutes and I will meet you both down in the garage."

Half an hour later, the 3 men were sitting at a table in the Four Kegs. It was mostly vacant considering it was 8 o'clock in the morning. They were all laughing and having a good time until until Everett slid back from the laughing and kept looking at his phone.

"Everything okay man?" Greg asked him.

"Yeah of course. Why you ask?"

Greg gave Everett a look. "It's my job to be extra observant, but I also have a habit of reading people pretty well. The fact that you keep looking at your phone, and the facial expression you have when you do so means it isn't something good.

"Oh. It's just this girl I went to college with, she works for the Police Department in this small town in California someone she works and is extremly close friends with was in a massive car accident just a few hours ago. Doesn't quite know her full condition."

Both Greg and Henry voiced their apologies for the girl and her friend.

Then Everett's phone beped with another incoming message. "She just sent me a link to the news on the accident. He moved his phone so they could all see at the same time. And hit play.

I am standing right across from where a massive accident nearly took the life of one of Barstow P.D.'s on. Just after 6 A.M. a drunk driver in a F-150 drove through a major intersection hitting a small SUV head on. You can see a video of the crash on our website. First responders had intially reported her dead but miraclously were able to revive her and airlift her to Barstow Community. So far there is no news on her condition. This is Mike Lamb reporting live with the Desert Dispatch.

Everett then played the video of the actual crash. Showing as the man said a F-150 truck running the red light and hitting the SUV head on and the car spins, as the video ends.

"Hey do you mind if I see that again. I'm a crash nerd." Greg lied. Everett handed the phone over, as he and Henry got deep into conversation on another subject. They didn't notice Greg put his hand over his mouth in terror at watching the accident again. When the video ended he handed the phone back. He picked his own phone up as if it was ringing. "It's my mom. I'll be right back." He lied again.

Greg stepped out of the bar. Once he was sure he was out of the other two mens sight. He removed the phone from his ear and frantically began searching for her number. "Please pick up. Please pick up." He mumbled to himself. As the number he called went to voicemail. 'Hey. You've reached Morgan. Sorry I'm unable to get to the phone right now but if you leave me a message, I'll get back with you as soon as I can.'

The call cut off as Greg dropped down to the sidewalk putting his head in his hands. "I'm not gonna freak out yet. Maybe it wasn't her." He thought to himself as he picked the phone up again and dialed a familiar number. "Hello" a man on the other end of the line said.

"AJ? Was it her? Was Morgan in that car the truck hit at that intesection this morning?"

AJ paused for a minute. "It was her Greg. We're on our way to the hospital now. I know things haven't been that great bwtween you two in the past months but..."

"I'll be there soon." Greg told him, as he ended the call. He wiped away the tears that had started to form in his eyes as he walked back into the bar to the table. Henry looked at him. "You okay Greg?"

"Yeah. I'm good. Just a bit tired. I think Im gonna head out. He told them as he took out his wallet to pay. But Everett stopped him. "Don't worry. I got this one."

"Cool thanks. I'll see you guys later then.

"See ya. Both of the other two men told him.

Greg walked out of the bar getting in his truck, he sent a text to Catherine 'I have a family emergency I need to tend to in California. I'm gonna need a while. It may be a few days. It may be more. I'm unsure yet but I'll be in touch.' He then put his phone in the holder and drove towards California, to a city he never thought he would need or even want to go back to.

As always reviews are very much appreciated...
