Jen looked around the lab and saw Greg. Being an ex-lab tech she could relate to the workload. People bossing you around and saying its 'priority' or it's a slam dunk they just need the proof. All Jen had needed was her boss to say relax, we come to you for the results, it's your lab. She grinned and walked over to Greg.
'Hi' she walked in and looked at him.
'Hi take a look at this' Jen looked at the microscope and walked over. She looked down the lens and frowned, a bright yellow powder like substance.
'What is it?'
'Yellow paint, you know for little kids, you just add water.' Greg grinned, Jen smiled.
'So that decomp probably had been working with kids or was a mom?' Jen sighed 'Thanks, I'll tell Catherine' She walked out the door and went to the evidence room, where Catherine was looking at the remains of the clothes their victim was wearing.
'Hey Jen' Catherine looked up and smiled 'Look at this'
Jen walked over and looked at the blouse. The same yellow powder was on the collar.
'What is that?'
'Powdered yellow paint' Jen answered and grinned when Catherine looked at her with amazement.
'How did you?'
'Greg' Jen looked at the sleeves on the blouse, smiling slightly.
'Really?! Greg!' Catherine thought about something a look on her face.
'Oh no! Nothing like that!' Jen waved her hands and shook her head trying to illustrate her point.
'So there's...'
'Nothing going on'
'Between...'
'Greg and I, absolutely, positively a big fat nothing!' Catherine smiled.
'Ok' Jen raised an eyebrow.
'What is it?'
'Nothing!'
'What!'
'Well... It sounds like you want something to happen' Catherine looked up at Jen, seeing her reaction 'I'm right aren't I!' It was more of a statement than a question. Jen was new this was bound to happen with someone sooner or later and anyway Greg and Jen were just mates. If Catherine had walked in, nothing would be said.
'What if you had walked into the lab?'
'What about it?' Catherine was looking at the blouse, turning it over; she looked backup at Jen giving her a stern look.
'...Never mind...' Jen looked at the blouse and smiled.
