Gee guys, thanks for the reviews. I'm a HUGE Greg fan, as you can tell, so writing the story based around another character, namely Nick, it makes it kind of challenging, but it is really fun. Thanks again!


Chapter 2

When Nick finished processing the kitchen, he walked out to the living room and saw David pushing away the bodies. Greg, meanwhile, was examining a blood pattern on the wall. "Hey Greggo, what'cha looking at?"

"This blood spatter, it's different from all the others. Take a look."

Nick took Greg's spot and looked at the pattern. Sure enough, it looked like a V-pattern you find in an arson case. "You're right. Did you take a couple photos of it?"

A flash lit the room and Nick turned and looked at Greg who was smiling. "Yep."

As Greg walked away, Nick laughed and took another look at the pattern. Greg was such a little kid and Nick thought it was great. It reminded him of the way his siblings acted. As he thought about his siblings, he remembered the night that began it all.


Nick had just turned four and he couldn't help but think this would be the best years of his life. Soon, he would be going to Kindergarden and starting school. Not to mention that he had a two year old younger brother and his mother had just produced another son. As Nick walked up the stairs to his bedroom, he looked in and saw his mother putting down his brother. "Good night Danny," said his mother.

The boy smiled and gave his mother a kiss as his mother walked out. That's when she saw Nick standing there. "Come on, big fella, let's get you to sleep."

Nick smiled as his mother lifted him off the ground and flew him into his room. After setting him down on his blue car bed, she tucked him in and kissed his forehead. "Good night Nicky."

"Good night Mama," smiled Nick.

That's when they heard a crying noise from down the hall. It was none other than Jacob. Nick's mother sighed and walked out the door and down the hall. As his mother closed the door, Nick rolled on his bed and fell asleep. Suddenly, he woke up to the sound of his mother's screams. Nick slowly got up and walked out into the hall and watched as David, Billy, Gracie and Laura ran into Danny's room. When he walked in, he saw his mother crying by Danny's bedside, his father comforting her, and David holding the children together. "What's wrong?" asked Nick.

"Nicky…Danny's gone," explained David, walking up and holding him close.

"Will he come back?"

David let out a sigh. "We don't know."

Nick turned and saw his mother clenching a note, crying hysterically. Cautiously, he walked up to his mother's side and hugged her. Nick's mother turned and held Nick close. "It's going to be okay baby, okay?"

Nick nodded and held her close as she cried even louder and louder. "Nick…" said someone from the doorway.


"Nick…NICK!"

Nick turned and saw Greg standing there. "Are you coming or are you going to stick around here a little longer?"

"No, I'll be out there in just a minute."

Greg smiled and walked out while Nick took another look. Then, he took a deep breath and followed Greg out.


When they arrived at the lab, Nick walked in and saw Greg in the layout room. "What' s up Greg?"

"I can't figure this out. All the blood spatter is where it should be except for this V-pattern. After I took a swab of it, I ran it over to Wendy. She hasn't given me the results yet, but for some reason, I have a feeling that it isn't the victim's blood."

"Are you making assumptions?" asked Nick with a smile.

"No. I'm just saying…"

"You know Grissom won't like that."

Greg punched Nick in the arm jokingly as they looked over the pictures carefully. "Maybe Grissom can tell us something about this pattern, what do you say?"

Greg nodded and followed Nick out of the room and into Grissom's office. When they arrived, they saw Grissom doing paperwork at his desk. "Hey Grissom, can we ask your opinion on something?"

"What's that?" asked Grissom.

"Can you explain this pattern to us?" asked Greg, handing over the picture.

Grissom took the picture and looked it over. "This is interesting. I have never seen anything like it."

"Do you know what could have made it?" asked Nick.

Grissom shook his head. "But, it looks like it was placed there. Is the blood from the victims?"

"We don't know yet," said Greg as Wendy walked in. "Greg, here's your results."

Greg thanked her and took the sheet. That's when his eyes grew wide. "What is it?" asked Nick.

"The blood from that spatter doesn't belong to any of the victims."

"What did it come back as?" asked Grissom.

"It came back unknown," explained Greg, handing over the results. Grissom took it quickly and looked at it. "Did you find another victim in the house?"

They shook their heads. "Go back to that house and look closely. There may be something there you've missed."

Nick and Greg nodded and walked out, heading to their cars. "I'm driving!" shouted Greg.

Nick laughed and followed Greg out to his car. When they got in, Greg began to blast Marilyn Manson. Nick sighed as Greg hit the gas and drove away.
