"Alright, I better get back to work" Nick said leaving the room with a smile on his face. He stuck his tongue out at Greg and kept walking.
Greg made sure Nick was gone and then sat back down beside her. "Are you sure you want to go on a date with NICK?"
"Well, he's very nice, he's smart and he's handsome. I don't see anything wrong with going on a date with NICK" Nicole responded.
"That's because you don't know the Nick, I know" Greg said pulling out a slide to place on the microscope.
"What do you mean?" Nicole used the tweezers to place a cut out piece of a napkin under the scope. She bent over and looked into the microscope.
Greg bent over, placed his face 3 inches in front of hers and she turned to look at him. "What I mean is Nick goes through girls like nothing. You deserve to know that" He cocked an eyebrow.
"Thank you for being concerned but, I'd prefer to get to know him before I pass judgment" She said looking straight into Greg's eyes.
'Kiss her! Kiss her now while you have the chance. Her lips are three inches from mine and she's looking straight into my eyes! Do it!' They continued to look into each others eyes while Greg slowly moved in towards her lips. Suddenly Nick and Catherine walked in and Nicole broke eye contact.
"Hey Nick, hey Catherine" Nicole said looking back into the microscope.
Greg huffed and then walked over to the other table. Greg looked at the results from 310 Genetic Analyzer.
"Hey beautiful" Nick said hugging her. "Hey Greggo"
"Hey Nicole, hey Greg" Catherine said with a faint smile.
Greg waved and put all his focus back on the results.
"Greg how tall are you?" Catherine asked.
"I'm 6 feet tall" He looked up at Catherine. "Why?"
"Grissom needs you for an experiment" Catherine answered.
"NO! No, no and no" Greg said getting up and backing away from Catherine and Nick "Last time I got a serious foot rash! I refuse"
"Nick grab him" Catherine said with a laugh.
Nick grabbed a hold of his arms and pulled him out the door. Greg started to yell "Nicole, if I don't make it back, call my family and tell them I love them" Greg said being overdramatic.
"Okay Greg" Nicole said giggling.
"Oh and make sure someone feeds my goldfish" He shouted.
"Greg we need you to strip down to your boxers. We are going to be re-acting the crime scene" Grissom showed Greg the bed.
"Oh okay. So, do I just lie down on that" Greg asked.
"No, we need to find you a female companion" Grissom said.
"Sara!" Grissom waved her down. She walked over to him "How tall are you?"
"I'm 5"5" She replied.
"Okay. Catherine how tall are you?" Grissom questioned.
"I'm 5"6. What height are you looking for Gil?"
"I'm looking for 5"8" Grissom said. "Catherine can you find me a female that's 5"8 and in good physical shape?"
"Yeah" Catherine said. She knew exactly where to find the girl. "Nicole, how tall are you exactly?"
"Um, I'm 5"8. You don't need me for your experiment… do you?" Nicole pondered.
"Yeah honey we do" Catherine said taking her over to Grissom.
Greg sat in the other room, in his boxers, uncomfortably awaiting his companion. Grissom walked into the room Nicole was in, examined her and said perfect. He handed her Ambrosia Lace Bustier and matching panties. Her eyes opened up real wide and she headed into the bathroom. She came out with a satin house coat over top of her lingerie.
"So, are we making some sort of forensic pornography?" She said with a smile.
"No, we are re creating a crime scene." Grissom showed her towards the other room. They walked in and Greg looked at her shocked. "Greg we found your female companion."
"Hi" Greg said to her quietly.
"This is how it will work, I will take you through the scenario, you follow my instructions" Grissom said. "Catherine will tell you what we are trying to figure out"
"Okay. Well, a young man, about 20 years old, was found in his bedroom lying on his back. He had multiple stab wounds to his upper torso. There was bruising all over his chest, like he had been lying on it or something had been laying on him for a long period of time. In the wounds we found a pink fiber, that we found out belonged too the exact lingerie we have you wearing, Nicole. There was also a satin house coat at the edge of the bed, worn by a woman. We need to find out if the mystery woman killed him, if there was another in the room, what possibly happened in the room and where all that bruising came from" Catherine explained.
"Nicole I want you to stand exactly half a foot away from Greg. Greg you need to undo her house coat and let it fall of her shoulders" Grissom was interrupted.
"Um but, I don't want people to see me… I don't like my body." Nicole said quickly.
"Nicole, this is a big part of our case hon." Catherine added. Nicole nodded.
Greg undid her house coat and it fell off of her. His eyes opened wide and his mouth dropped as did several other guys. "Now, that wasn't that bad. We just determined wear she was standing and the way the house coat fell. I know this will be uncomfortable and awkward but, I need you to lie on top of Greg, please" Grissom told her. She climbed on top of Greg. For a few seconds Greg and Nicole stared into each others eyes in awe. They both were sexually attracted to each other.
"I'm not uncomfortable at all" Greg laughed.
"Do we have to watch this?" Nick asked Warrick.
"Okay Nick, grab Nicole and throw her off of Greg." Grissom directed.
Nick slowly lifted Nicole and placed her down away from Greg. He made stabbing motions and Greg pretended to be dead.
"Good! Now Nicole, push Nick away from Greg and climb on his as if you're trying to wake him up"
Nicole grabbed Greg's face and he started to laugh "I'll voluntarily be part of the next experiment if it's like this one"
"Focus Greg. Nick you're the killer and she's trying to stop you from stabbing him, what do you do?" Grissom asked Nick with a puzzled look.
"I react. I stab her and stop her from fighting me" Nick looked at Grissom and smiled. "What if I killed her by accident and she was still lying on the victim when they were both dead? That would explain the bruising and the lingerie fiber in his wounds"
"That would explain the unknown blood. One problem, where's the body?" Grissom implied.
"Well, maybe the killer had feelings for her" Greg announced.
Nicole added "He might have stayed there for awhile because he felt guilty for killing her. That would explain why there was bruising"
"That still doesn't answer where the body is" Grissom replied.
"Well, he took the body with him… he probably buried her in his backyard" Greg said.
"Yeah, that's a reasonable idea" Nicole and Nick both said at the same time. Nick smiled and winked at Nicole. She smiled back.
"Well, let's go find the killer and her body" Gil looked at Catherine.
Nicole walked back to the bathroom and got changed. She headed back to the lab; she walked in to see Greg already there.
"Wow, your fast at getting undressed" Greg said looking at her. "And dressed"
"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Nicole giggled.
It went quiet and became very awkward. Greg tapped his pen on the desk and Nicole played with her hair.
"I can't take it anymore! YOU HAVE AN AMAZINGLY SEXY BODY!" Greg blurted out. He covered his mouth.
"No, I hate my body. Please don't talk about it" Nicole said looking down.
"How can you not like your body? It's what every guy dreams of… you've got the small waist, a toned stomach, nice thighs, a grab-able ass and really nice boo….
"GREG! Stop describing what you think of me" Nicole said to him.
"Boobs" Greg finished his sentence. "Sorry, just don't tell yourself you don't have a nice body! You do"
"Thanks" Nicole said. "You have a nice body as well"
Greg looked up at her with a smile and she awkwardly looked down at the floor "Thanks babe! You know, I think they would have learned a lot more had we been naked" He laughed.
"GREG!!" She laughed.
"Sorry, I just think if it was a little more precise they would know more" Greg laughed and then mumbled "And I would love to see you naked"
"GREG! I heard that" Nicole looked at him surprised.
"Heard what?" He stuck his tongue out and started to run out of the lab.
She chased him "Get back here pervert!"
Greg hid around the corner. As soon as she was about to run by he tripped her and caught her, before she hit the ground. He was bent on his knees and she was cradled comfortably in his arms. He stared at her and then laughed. "That'll teach you to chase after me"
Still in his arms, she giggled and said "UGH! You tripped me!" She punched his arm
Greg flinched in pain "But, I caught you." He smiled, stared straight into her eyes for a few seconds and helped her up. "I would never let you fall" He whispered to her. When they stood up they were three inches away and Greg was tempted to kiss her so badly. He started to move in, for the second time that day, when Grissom came around the corner.
He coughed and said "Greg, you can have a raise. You were right about the Jack Mare case"
Greg jumped up and down! "I knew it! See Grissom, I know everyone thinks I'm just a good-looking stud muffin but, I have brains" Greg smiled and they both went back to the lab.
Grissom rolled his eyes and was about to walk away when he heard something smash in the lab. He ran to the lab and saw Greg kneeled over beside a broken tray of glass vials. Grissom said "Greg! You know I'm going to have to deduct that off your paycheck or maybe not give you a raise. I know it was an accident but Greg, that's the third thing you've broken this month"
Greg looked over at Nicole and opened his lips to talk. "I…
He was interrupted by Nicole "Grissom, it wasn't Greg" Greg looked at her his eyes wide open. She continued "I dropped the tray and he was helping me clean up. I'm truly sorry and you can deduct it off my paycheck"
"Thank you Nicole, for being honest. I won't deduct if off your paycheck as it is your first week on the job. Please just, don't do it again and get back to work" Grissom said with a smile. Nicole nodded and Grissom walked down the hall.
Greg looked at Nicole "Thanks but, why would you do that? You could have lost money" Greg said shocked.
"I couldn't let him take away your raise and besides, we're a team and that means we help each other" Nicole said looking straight at him
"Thanks, I owe you" Greg said with a laugh. He grabbed a broom and started to sweep it into the bag Nicole was holding.
"You don't owe me anything"
Nick walked in to the room with a huge grin, plastered on his face, but it faded a bit when he saw Nicole and Greg talking to each other. It looked like they were extremely close and Nick couldn't handle that. "Hey Greggo and hello gorgeous" Nick kissed Nicole on the cheek. He then said "So, beautiful, I'm going out for lunch and I would like you to come with me" leaning on the table.
Nicole went to speak but was interrupted "I'd love to" Greg said quickly with a smile.
Nicole giggled and Nick said "Greg I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to Nicole"
"Yeah, I'd love to come and Greg can come with us" Nicole said winking at Greg.
So, Greg and Nicole met Nick at his truck around 12:30. Greg opened the car door for Nicole and she climbed in the back seat. Greg sat down in the front seat next to Nick. He winked and then smiled at Nick. Nick huffed and then started the engine. While they were driving it was completely silent. Nick decided to break the silence. Nick looked in his rear-view mirror, at Nicole and said "You look very nice today"
"Awe, thanks Nick!" Greg said with a smile.
Nicole burst into laughter, followed by Greg. Nick smiled but, he was secretly pissed off. He wished that it was him and Nicole alone. What started off as a game for Nick, turned into a really big CRUSH. Originally, he had planned to make Greg jealous, so that Greg would ask her out, but, now he had developed feelings for her. He was not about to loose her to GREG! Nick thought 'Nicole doesn't want some young punk! She needs a man; she wants a real man, a man like me! Greg can't provide her with anything… yeah sure, he can make her laugh but, he's way to immature. I mean c'mon she deserves wa…
"NICK WATCH OUT FOR THE STOP SIGN!" Nicole yelled. Greg screamed high pitch, like a little girl.
Nick swerved but, continued to drive "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention" He went back to thinking.
"We know you weren't" Greg said trying to slow down his breathing. "You almost killed us! Pull over right now, I'm driving" Greg said in a serious tone.
"Shut up Greg, and calm down. I can drive much better than you and everyone knows that from the way you pull into the parking lot, at work!"
They arrived at the restaurant and sat down. They ordered their food and waited for it to be made. They were all talking away and out of nowhere Greg said "OH! I love this song" It was 'Livin' on a Prayer' by Bonjovi.
"ME TO!" Nicole blurted out.
"I love these guys" Nick added.
Greg looked at Nick confused "Whenever I blare this in the lab, you tell me they suck and to turn it off"
Nick looked around "Because you over play them"
"Rightttt...anyways, Bonjovi's coming to Vegas soon, man I'd LOVE to get my hands on those tickets" Greg announced.
"Well, I guess I'll just have to pull a few strings and get us tickets" Nicole replied.
"I WOULD LOVE YOU" Greg raised his voice.
Nicole laughed "Well, then it would be worth it"
Greg blushed and waitress placed the food down on the table. They all said thanks and started to eat.
"Is that a chocolate milk shake?" Greg asked with his eyes open wide.
"Yeah do you want some?" Nicole asked.
"DO I EVER!?" Greg responded.
Nick interrupted "Ladies, I think we should get back to work"
"We just go here!" Nicole said.
They put the money on the table. Greg made a pouting face and took the shake. He laughed and ran out the door. Nicole ran out after him and Nick slowly walked behind.
"UGHH! Greg, give it back!" Nicole followed him.
"What do you say?" Greg cocked an eyebrow.
"PLEASE!?"
"I was thinking more along the lines of; Greg you are the COOLEST guy on the PLANET. You are extremely handsome and so smart. You are to DIE for" Greg laughed and handed her the shake.
Nick walked behind and imitated Greg "The COOLEST guy on the planet… right." Nick climbed in the car to see Greg was in the back seat with Nicole. They were talking away and Nick was SO annoyed. He turned the radio on and blared the station. Suddenly the song Livin' on a Prayer started to play.
Greg and Nicole bobbed their heads and Greg started to sing the first part of the first verse:
"Tommy used to work on the docks
Unions been on strike
Hes down on his luck...its tough, so tough"
Nicole sang the next part of the verse:
"Gina works the diner all day
Working for her man, she brings home her pay
For love - for love"
They sang the bridge together:
"She says weve got to hold on to what weve got
cause it doesnt make a difference
If we make it or not
Weve got each other and thats a lot
For love - well give it a shot"
They sang the chorus together:
"Ohhh, were half way there
Ohhh, Livin on a prayer
Take my hand and well make it - I swear
Ohhh, Livin on a prayer"
Greg sang part of the next verse:
"Tommys got his six string in hock
Now hes holding in what he used
To make it talk - so tough, its tough"
Nicole sang the next part:
"Gina dreams of running away
When she cries in the night
Tommy whispers baby its okay, someday"
They went to sing the chorus but, Nick turned it off.
"HEY!? What are you doing? We were listening to that!" Greg shouted at Nick.
They pulled in to the parking lot and Nick walked right into the building. Nicole and Greg walked back into the lab.
Nick was walking by when he heard Greg say "Nicole, there is something I want to ask you!" Nicks eyes opened wide.
