Hey guys, sorry it's been such a long time.

I started college this year and it's been hectic.

(Greg's POV)

I made my way back into the station, wanting to finish up my paperwork for the case before I started helping the Santa Barbara people. It was easy enough to convict the husband. He wasn't as smart as he thought he was. I walked into the break room and saw Russell sitting at the table with the other three.

"Hey, Greg. How'd the case go?" Russell asked when he saw me.

"The husband thought he was smarter than he was. I convicted him within five minutes of starting the investigation," I replied, grabbing an empty chair.

"Awesome. Finish up your report and then you can help us go through these papers," Russell replied.

I nodded and got to work. It didn't take me that long to finish it, but it did take me a while to get all my other information in order before I submitted it. Nick had gotten back while I was finishing submitting and had dropped off a bag of food before leaving the room again. He said something about how I cannot touch it because it was his food and I wanted to pout. I just got up, grabbed the bag, and put it in the fridge before grabbing some food that I left in here the other night. I sat back down and opened the container. Gus told me what they were looking for so I pulled some papers near me while I was eating.

I snatched a highlighter from the middle of the table and started going through the papers. It was taking forever. Nick came back in, saw that his food was not there, glared at me, and went to the fridge. He knew me so well.

He ate while standing at the counter and left the room again. I made a mental note to ask him about his case because I remember Russell said it was confusing and Nick seemed frustrated.

It took almost two hours to go through all the papers, each of us going through all of the papers when someone else was done with them, making sure we didn't miss anything. I felt like my eyes were going to bleed from reading so much information. I'm also sure I knew way to much information about what this guy did in High School.

"So where does this leave us?" I ask, leaning back and rubbing my eyes.

"It leaves us with the knowledge that Rathjen is a mess up mofo who needs to be found and locked away," Shawn said, leaning back in his own chair.

"I agree with that. We need to narrow down the locations of where he could be and then we can go from there," Jules piped up, looking at a piece of paper with all of Rathjen's known residences.

I stood up, stretching and started out the room, grabbing the paper as I passed by Jules, going to find Archie.

"Where ya going?" Shawn asked.

"To talk with our computer guy. He can help us narrow down where Rathjen might be," I answered and left.

I walked into Archie's office, finding him playing some kind of game on one computer.

"What are you doing?" I asked, bemused.

"Russell wants me to go through this game and see if I can find some guy who might be linked to some murders," he replied.

"Want to take a break and help me?" I asked, giving him a cheeky grin.

"Yes please!" he said and rolled to his other computer. "What do you need."

"You remember that guy we were researching last night?"

"Rathjen right?"

"Yeah. We've got a list of past residences and wanted to know if he could possibly be using them now."

I handed the list to Archie and he looked it over.

"Give me about an hour or two and I'll see what I can come up with."

"Thanks, Archie. You're the best."

"No problem."

I left Archie's office and started down the hallway. Nick turned the corner and we ran into each other.

"Sorry man," I said, bending down to pick up the papers he dropped.

"It's okay. This case may do my head in," Nick said, rubbing his temples.

I looked at the papers and noticed one had a code written on it.

"Are you trying to decipher it?" I asked.

"Yes, but no one I've talked to has been able to figure it out," Nick replied, frustrated.

"Give me about ten minutes and I should have this cracked for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I think I know what kind of code this is."

"Thanks, Greggo."

I gave Nick the rest of the papers and went to a quiet place to figure out the code. It didn't take me long at all, and I knew it wouldn't, but I wanted to make sure I deciphered it right and I wanted some alone time. Nick found me ten minutes later and I told him how I figured out the code and how he could figure it out if he needed to later. He thanked me and I started back to the break room. I passed by the conference type room and noticed that Russell and the others had relocated there. I went in and they started explaining what they were working on.

The rest of the night blurred together and I had developed a massive headache a couple hours before my shift ended. Shawn noticed this and asked if I was okay. I tried to play if off like I was but Russell was having none of that. He sent me home early.

Once home I went to the bathroom and grabbed some Ibuprofen. I took the recommended dosage and made my way to my room. I changed into some comfortable clothes, plugged my phone in and passed out.

Sorry it's crappy.

Sorry it's been so long too.

Review please.
