Chapter one: Hangovers and avoidance.

"What happened? I don't feel so good." Jessie moaned to herself as she looks around the room. This isn't my room… not my bed. She runs her hand over and under the sheets. This isn't mine period... Oh my god. Her pulse rushed more than it did the day she had set eyes on Greg. Out of surprise, she bolts upright out of bed.

"What the hell? What's touching my…" Greg mumbled as he looked to see that a very flustered intern was in his bed. He watched her as she ran to grab her clothes and shut the bathroom door. Groggily, Greg looks at the digital clock at his bed side. Great I am late for work, hung over and the intern was in my bed. Oh God.

"Got to get dressed, I am going to be late for…" Jessica thinks as she hunches over the toilet, bringing the remains of a night to forget. She flushed them away and got her bearings to stand and get dressed.

"Hey, want a ride to the lab? We are going to be late" Greg asks her as she opens the bathroom door.

"Uh, sure, but I don't know if I should… feeling the way I do, I wouldn't be able to get a lot of work done." She and Greg went to the car. He drove very smooth and steady as to not upset the slightly sick girl in the passenger seat. The hung over "couple" tries to sprint to get into the lab. Jessie gets to the door to the DNA lab, but has to turn around and runs to the ladies room. Sarah and Catherine see Jessica do this and go into the ladies room after they get their assignments for the night.

"Sounds like someone was out having fun last night?" Sara joked as she looked into Jessica's eyes.

"Did something happen? You look like you are in pain." Catherine said as she passed Jessie some Tylenol and water.

"Yeah, my head is pounding." She winced as she put the Tylenol in her mouth and swallowed with water.

"Details now" Catherine gently commanded Jessie as they help her walk into the break room. None of the ladies notice that Stokes and Brown have snuck in and were listening to the intern spill her guts about the night before.

"Well it's like this, Greg asked me if I wanted to go out and celebrate my first day on the job being over. So I said yes. We went to a nice bar, the Cosmoo, had a few drinks then went to bed. I don't remember anything after going to sleep or before waking up." Jessie began to cry. Sara understood why and so did Catherine.

Warrick chirped in "Well, that's your problem for wanting to work in DNA analysis."

"Warrick, that's mean. Greg isn't a bad guy. It's not her fault. Hey Jessie, do you remember anything before or after you fell asleep?" Nick asked the wet faced intern.

"I already told you, I don't remember anything." Jessie sniffed.

"Well that's your problem." Nick said.

Catherine began "Warrick, Nick, you two should go. You aren't…"

"I wonder how far they went last night." Warrick said to Nick

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Sara screamed. At this time everyone in the CSI building heard this commotion and turned cocked heads toward the break room. Sara walked with Jessica to the locker room to grab a spare set of clothes for her to freshen up with.

While Jessica went to change, Sara talked to Catherine. Both of them could tell that either Jessie or Greg liked the other one more than they wished to admit. "Thanks Sara, I guess that clothes that smell like stardust shooters might not be professional." Jessie laughed. "I owe you sooo much."

"No problem." Sara smirked.

"Sidel, get going. Kolins, my office NOW." Grissom ordered.

"Yes Griss." Sara mumbled.

"Si, al capitan." Jessie said as she marched toward bug city Las Vegas, a.k.a.Grissoms office, trying to avoid Greg's gaze at all costs.

"Kolins, why were you late?" Grissom interrogated her as she looked at his bugs.

"Well sir, I slept in with a migraine." Jessie admits, not the truth but not a lie.

"Not from what I have heard." Grissom confronted her. Jessie was thinking oh god who told him? Grissom continued, "Well, I remember my first drinking spree, couldn't remember a thing. I never drank again. Just be careful next time." He ruffed her hair as she walked into her office. As she left Grissom asked that she tell the night shift boys to get ready to report with him.

Jessie ran to the DNA lab, opened the door and shouted to Nick, Warrick, and Greg that Grissom wanted them with him for the case tonight and to go get ready.. That was close. No real contact with Greg. Stokes, Brown and Sanders ran like morons to find Gill. She giggled as Grissom walked by and she forced herself to not laugh at his stern face. "This is going to be one hell of a night, Mia." She mumbled. Jessie's eyes lit up as her phone, that was on vibrate, went off. Oh, someone is calling me.
