My response to SuperSneaky's challenge on YTDAW...


"OW!" Greg Howled in pain, tears springing to his eyes

"What?" Sara asked, her face appearing around the break-room door, followed fluently by the rest of her body

"Catherine's cactus bit me" he complained, sucking his fingers and glaring angrily at the offending cactus "what's she need a cactus for anyway? I thought Grissom was the only one that ever bought in crazy experiments"

"Awww, C'mon, his experiments aren't that crazy, as long as the fridge is full of coke, I don't care" Nick had joined the conversation and had his head buried in the fridge, looking for a can of coke "Awww, YUCK" he jumped back in horror and slammed the door shut

"That's it! Where's Grissom!"

"Someone looking for me?" the man in question had just entered the room, his nose stuck in the file he was reading

"Yeah, would you mind keeping your roadkill AWAY from my coke?" Nick opened the fridge door again to reveal a six-pack of coke covered in something brown, sticky and putrid smelling

"Road kill?" the amusement was evident in his eyes as he grabbed a pair of tongs and lifted the smell onto the break-room table, gently prodding it to reveal a dirty diaper.

"ugh, what is that smell?" Warrick had the unfortunate fortune of entering the room at that exact time, Catherine following closely behind

"Road kill" three voices chorused at once

"It's not road kill" Grissom sounded slightly irritated as he moved Cath's cactus onto the floor "Look, I'll show you"

Before anyone could stop him he'd taken the diaper and splattered it over the top of the cactus, it was now evident to them all that he had indeed, not been lying about the road-kill.

"Ewwww!" Greg pinched his nose at the fresh wave of smell

"What are you doing with a dirty diaper in the fridge?" asked Nick

"MY CACTUS!!!" Catherine wailed bending over to pick it up and shake the excrement off the top.

The RRIIIPPP seemed to echo through the break room, everyone froze with their eyes on Catherine, she turned pink, then a flattering shade of scarlet when she realised what had happened.

Behind her, Warrick smiled... then a giant stuffed elephant landed on his head.

THE END
