Tinsel & Torture

"Please Christmas don't be late" sang squeaky, high-pitched voices over the intercom system.

"What the hell is that?" cried Catherine as entered the lab with Warrick.

"It's the Chipmunk's Christmas song being played for the hundredth time" answered Nick, who looked like he had a bad headache.

"Let me guess this was Greg's idea" said Warrick.

"Surprisingly no" Nick said with a smirk.

"Then who?" demanded Catherine

"It's Ecklie"

"WHAT?!?" the two cried in shock.

"Greg was trying to decorate the lab with tinsel when Ecklie came in and told him that it was a fire hazard and to take it down." Nick explained "Greg said that he didn't have any holiday spirit; Ecklie must have been offended because half an hour later the music started."

"So why doesn't some one just go turn it off" asked Warrick.

"He locked him self in there so that no one could"

"Where is everyone anyway?" questioned Catherine as she looked around the deserted looking lab.

Nick looked around too before answering "Well last I saw Greg was processing evidence with his Ipod turned up all the way, Sara was hiding in the garage, Grissom is probably still in his office pretending he can't hear it, and I'm getting ready to go murder someone just so I have an excuse to leave."

They were silent until Catherine spotted Brass walking towards the door. The three of them were at his side in a flash.

"Got a case for us?" Warrick asked quickly

"Yeah but –" he started but was cut off by the three CSIs yelling

"We're on it!"

They turned him around and pulled him back towards the parking lot.

"Ok since when are you guys so eager to get to a crime scene?" asked Brass, quite confused by their actions.

"Since Ecklie became a Chipmunks fan"

This is my first try at a CSI fan-fic so if you think it totally sucks let me know!
