This is an idea what sprang to mind. I have researched alot about the Comic Relief climb, and thought it would be fun to do a story with what the CSI team would do on Mt. Kilimanjaro :))
Thanks to Louise. For listening to my ramberlings and reading through :))
Disclaimer - I Don't own anything. Just messing around with a few things to produce a story :)
Summary- A charity event brings the CSI team closer together and gives them memory's to share forever. GSR. YOBLING. Nick and Greg friendship. Maybe some OOC.
CSI: Kilimanjaro
Chapter 1
"You have done what?" Catherine was the first one to speak. Heads from the lab technicians turned towards to break room the same thing running through there minds "What the hell?"
"I signed us all up to climb Mountain Kilimanjaro for charity." Greg repeated uncomfortable with the 5 members of the CSI team staring at him with shock.
"Greg" Grissom started with a slow shake of his head. "You do know that we won't be doing this. Ecklie won't approve of it. I mean the whole night shift gone for a week?"
"Ecklie has approved it. We haven't had a new case in weeks." Greg stated growing confident. "From Monday all of us have a weeks holiday, the day shift is taking on our cases. Ecklie says good luck and if we get to the summit he will donate $100 to each member who passes."
"What's the charity?" Sara asked, no shock just wonder in her voice.
"The orphans in Africa."
"And what made you do this?" Nick spoke "What made you think we wanted to do this?"
"Nick have you seen the conditions those poor kids work everyday for as little as $1. I watched a documentary the other day about it. Children young as five working from 5am to 9pm at night just so they can live. They don't go to school; some doesn't even know how to talk. It sickened me so I decided to help out and thought because all of you would feel the same way that I do you would join."
"Well I am in." Sara said with a small smile earning a few eyebrows to raise around the group. "Hey, it's for charity and besides I have always wanted to do something for charity but have never had the time. Now we have the time the place and everything am not going to pass on this opportunity"
Hearing Sara's speech Warrick spoke up for the first time. "I'm in also, poor souls deserve to get an education."
Warrick and Sara went to stand next to Greg backing their sides while Nick Catherine and Grissom looked at each other.
"Fine, I'm in, only because I'll have nothing better to do" Nick grinned slightly, punching Greg softly in the arm.
That left Grissom and Catherine. Grissom was the closest to the door and looked like he was going to leave any minute, where Catherine was staring into the eyes of Greg.
"I obviously cant do it. What about Lindsey?" Catherine stated.
"Catherine, come on! We all know Lindsey is off to Paris on a school trip for a week. Stop making excuses!" Warrick grinned winking at Catherine before she sighed loudly and stood next to Warrick.
"Just leaves you now Grissom" Greg said.
"I don't know Greg, the lab needs me"
"Excuses, Excuses" Sara sighed rolling her eyes "Griss, it's for charity with us all in we could get enough money to at least help out a few of the orphans."
"Yeah, come on man" Nick and Warrick said together.
Looking at his team members, his friends, looking at the hope in their eyes he shrugged his shoulders lightly before taking in a deep breath. "Okay fine. I'll do it."
Cheers erupted around the break room. Everybody started getting excited even Grissom cracked a smile before Greg calmed everyone down by handing them a piece of thick paper each.
"On here it tells you what you will need, what we will be doing, the map ETC. We will all meet at the airport around midnight on Sunday" Pausing to hand out envelope to each one of the team before continuing "Here is your plane tickets, if any other problems just ask."
"Wow Greg you have it all sorted out haven't you. How did you know we would all say yes?" Sara questioned.
"I didn't. But I thought if you lot wouldn't do it, I would have had to ask some of the day shift." Greg shrugged.
"Well guys, breaks over, back to work we will talk about this later." Grissom was the first to leave the room then the whole team went there separate ways with small smiles on their faces.
TBC- Please review and let me know what you think... :))
