Hey guys!
So this is my new story. It's shorter than the previous ones and much lighter. I think we all could use a lighter story after the last more dramatic ones. I'm sure Greg would appreciate it ;)
Anyways, I hope you enjoy this one :)
"Any questions?" Catherine asked as she gave the new DNA tech a tour through the lab.
"No," the new tech replied with a smile.
"Well then, let me show you the break room. I'm sure you'll meet some of your new colleagues in there." They both walked in.
"Hey guys," Catherine said to Nick, Greg and Hodges. "This is Robin Davies, our new DNA tech."
"Hi," said Robin.
Before either Nick or Greg could even say hello, Hodges jumped up and walked to Robin and Catherine. "David Hodges, it's a pleasure." He shook Robin's hand.
"Nice to meet you," she replied with a cute smile on her face.
Catherine gave Hodges a look. She wasn't surprised by this reaction. Robin was a beautiful woman. Light brown, long, wavy hair, gorgeous green eyes, olive skin, 5'10'' and a toned body with curves on the right places. Catherine knew Robin would turn a few heads, and especially Hodges'. "This is our trace tech. And this is Nick Stokes and Greg Sanders. They're both CSIs working the graveyard shift with me."
"Nice to meet you guys."
"Nice to meet you," both replied. Hodges interfered in them getting to know her, though.
"So, Robin, where are you from?" he asked charming.
"Actually I'm a Vegas native. I moved to Seattle when my husband got a job offer there four years ago."
As Nick and Greg noticed Hodges' disappointment when Robin mentioned her husband, they chuckled a bit. Noticeable for him, but she didn't notice.
"And what brings you back here, then?" he asked, trying not to show any signs of disappointment to her.
"Well, after our divorce I needed a fresh start somewhere far away from him," she said smiling, "And this lab was the first to offer a job, so... Here I am."
Hodges' spirit was up again. He just nodded as he smiled at her. A weird moment of silence followed.
"Okay..." Catherine finally said, "How about we take a closer look at the DNA lab?"
"Sure. See you later, guys," Robin said as she walked away with Catherine.
"Wow..." Hodges said as he sat down next to Greg again.
"Yeah... That was embar..." before Nick could finish the sentence, Hodges continued.
"She's gorgeous! I think she likes me. What do you think, guys?"
"Not a chance!" Greg said amused as Nick shook his head.
"What? You're insane! Didn't you see the way she looked at me?"
"Disgusted and scared? I only saw how she looked at me! She didn't even notice you," Greg replied a bit cocky.
"What?" Nick chimed in laughing. "She gave me the cutest smile, she didn't notice either one of you."
They argued about it for a few minutes before Greg said, "Okay, you know what, guys? Let's not do this. We shouldn't fight over a woman..." He stood up. "When it's obvious that it's me she wants!" He walked out laughing.
For the next three days they agreed on a truce. They wanted to give Robin enough time to settle in. On day two, however, when they caught Henry trying to flirt with her, they decided that there are no rules in war.
All three of them stood in front of the DNA lab, watching Henry make a fool of himself. Anytime Robin looked in their direction, they quickly turned around, pretending to look at files or something.
Henry finally came out, after being in there with her for about 15 minutes.
"What the hell were you doing in there?" Hodges asked a bit aggressively.
Henry looked at them in surprise. "Nothing. We were just talking about a case."
"What case?"
"You know... The one Ray and Sara are working on."
"Ray's out of town and Sara's working on a case with me," Nick replied.
"...That's none of your business!" Henry said defensive after being caught lying. He walked down the hallway and they followed him.
"How did it go?" Greg asked.
"Would you stop following me? Jesus!" Henry replied.
"Not too well, huh?" Hodges asked.
"Leave me alone!" he said as he walked into the restroom.
They stopped and waited. He came out again a few seconds later, when he realized he went into the women's restroom. He gave them a look and went into the men's room.
Sara walked out of the women's restroom half a minute later. The three were still waiting outside and when they saw her, again, pretended as if they were busy looking into some files.
"What's going on here? And why was Henry in there?"
"Hm?" Nick asked, pretending as if he didn't see Henry.
"Leave Robin alone," she said.
"What? Oh, Robin, the new DNA tech?" Hodges said as if they were not constantly talking about her. "What about her?"
Sara rolled her eyes. "You're quite immature for your ages, you know that?"
"I know, right?" Greg said amused. Being a few years younger than Nick and Hodges, he thought Sara wasn't including him.
"I was talking about all of you!" she grinned. "Well, good luck. But just so you know, I don't think either one of you can afford a sexual harassment lawsuit." She walked away pretty amused.
They rolled their eyes. Henry came out again, startling when he noticed they were still waiting for him.
"She rejected you, didn't she?" Hodges asked.
Henry didn't say anything, but the look on his face gave them an answer.
"One down, two to go," Greg said, walking away with a smile on his face.
