Whatever it Takes
Chapter 4
Morgan walked into the DC crime lab the next day and sent an email to DB Russell saying that she was going to be gone for a week. She looked all around seeing how different it was from the Vegas Crime Lab. But no one seemed to be there to talk and ask where Greg was. That's when she heard a male voice go through.
"Shoot out at the park." said Doug running on through
Fifteen minutes later Morgan ended up going through a crowd of people and stood behind yellow crime scene tape where a shoot out just was. She saw three people down with two of them down and one fatally wounded. But saw skid marks in four areas so there must have been more people in the shoot out. She stood there and saw two DC CSI's there finding and tagging evidence as well taking pictures.
Greg came in holding onto his camera behind Neil Fulton and stopped over at the benches. He found quite a few things there. It was a massive crime scene so there was a ton of evidence to bring back to the lab. He started taking pictures right there as he was kneeling.
"Wow this really attracted a lot of people's attention." said Heidi coming over
"Yeah." said Greg looking at the group of people then stopped when he saw a certain blonde hair beauty standing not believing it
"Are you okay Greg?" asked Heidi as she looked at him
Greg ignored her and walked over to the crime scene tape slowly astonished and surprised at the blonde hair beauty being there. He then stopped about a foot away from it as he looked at her and she looked at him right there, he indicated to the police to let her through the tape.
"Morgan, what are you doing out here?" asked Greg
"I thought I'd come and see you. I'm here for the week." Morgan explained
"Mr. Sanders we need you." said Kevin coming up to Greg then saw Morgan right there
"Sanders." said Morgan smiling not believing it
"Kevin this is Morgan Brody she was my co-worker out in Vegas." said Greg to him
"It's nice to meet you." said Kevin putting his hand out as she shook it
"You too." Morgan responded as she stood there
"You can go we have all the hands we need." Kevin explained
Morgan went into the DC Crime Lab with Greg and he brought her to his office. She looked around astonished at how comfy and homey it looked. It was amazing it really seemed like he settled here. She could tell that he liked it here that he doesn't want to leave.
She sat down onto a comfy black and bluish-silver chair and clenched her hands. How was she going to bring him back to Vegas? She loved him but she couldn't force him back he's going to have to do it willingly. Greg sat down at his chair and looked at her smiling.
"It's great that you're out here." said Greg
"Yeah." muttered Morgan but looked straight at him "You seemed to have settled in."
"I have, the team is great. There is Neil Fulton the Dayshift Supervisor, Erica, Heidi, Kevin, Zach and there's me the Assistant Dayshift Supervisor." responded Greg as he readjusted his sitting position "Me, Neil, Kevin and Erica make fun of Zach as it's known around the department out here of his crush on Heidi."
"There must be some perks of being Assistant Dayshift Supervisor out here." replied Morgan as she heard of the people and Greg making fun of Zach because of the obvious crush on Heidi
"Of course as always there are." said Greg
Morgan looked at him seeing how happy he was here. He liked the people here a lot and he was also the superior something he seems to enjoy. Everybody in Vegas was far more superior to Greg for how long they have been working as CSIs which was a lot longer than Greg. Even though they were good friends they still gave him some of the gruel stuff when they had a case. How was she going to tell him?
"So why go to Washington DC for a trip?" Greg wondered as he looked at her
"I don't know it's better than some places." said Morgan shrugging her shoulders as she looked at him
"Yeah but some places like California, Florida and New York are better." responded Greg as he looked at her luminescent face and couldn't help but smiled at that beautiful grace that she has "So?"
"There's no reason." replied Morgan
"I know you better than you think." said Greg
"Not as well as you think." muttered Morgan as she looked down to the ground as she saw brown eyes look at her "Alright the Crime Lab out in Vegas isn't the same everyone has forgot what it's supposed to be like. We're no longer the family we once were. I miss it and I want it back. Everyone is chummy with the new guy Rylan and pay attention to him more than to anything especially their jobs. Every case we do becomes unsolved, every single one I've done have been with him has become unsolved."
"His names Rylan?" said Greg looking at her sad face that was welling up with tears
"Yeah Rylan Cass. I didn't know what to do so I decided to take a vacation away from all of it. I really needed it more than anything." said Morgan right there
Greg got up a little bit and put his hand out towards her as she took it and she kept crying. He brought his arm up bringing her over and hugged her right there as she didn't seem in the right place. This isn't the Morgan that he knew or knows. The Morgan he knows is strong, a fighter and has passion in what she does. This Morgan that he sees is weak, going through battles and losing at everything she does. The tears were starting to come down even more they were like rain. They fell onto his clothes but he didn't care she was unstable. And she needs him.
Morgan couldn't believe she was pouring everything out on him except that she loves him. She was going to save that for a little while until she gets up and back on track. Right now wasn't the right time to tell him as he looks super happy and having the time of his life out here. She doesn't want him to become distant once she tells him of those feelings.
Greg kept in the hug and started rubbing her shoulder and soothing her right there. She needs all the comforting she needs at the moment as she really wasn't in the right state. The others out in Vegas wouldn't understand or talk to her about everything and he was the only other option even though he now lived farther away, out of state and in a different time zone. So she came out here for him, so he could help her out. But he knew that there has to be another reason why she even came out here. It can't be just because of this of her being mentally unstable and not liking how the people in Vegas has started treating her and becoming chummy with the new guy. But he's not going to question her motives at the moment when she's like this.
He smiled down at the beauty right there as she went in farther hiding her face into his chest. He moved her blonde hair to the side getting it out of her face so it wouldn't bother her. She was crestfallen and those blue eyes were glassy at the moment. He needed to turn it all around he needs to bring her back to her usual cheery self.
"Hey how about we go out to dinner later?" Greg suggested to her since she was out there it seemed like a great idea
"I'd like that." whispered Morgan as she smiled into his chest thinking this will be great for the two of them and her she needs to get out with someone and Greg seemed like the perfect guy
"Alright I know of this restaurant that just opened up once I came here. I can get a reservation for the two of us." said Greg into her blonde hair
"That sounds great." responded Morgan as she got out of his hug and looked up at him right there
"Alright you got a hotel room of course." said Greg
"Of course I will go there and wait." replied Morgan to him "I'm at the Henley Park Hotel."
"I will come at six thirty to get you." said Greg to her right there
"Okay sounds great." said Morgan right there
"Well I need to get back to work. The shootout over at the park." Greg responded as he grabbed a folder and smiled at her as she got a little perked up
What was she going to do now? She and Greg were having somewhat of an actual date later at a place that he knows of. Could this be the start of something that they could have? Will she have the will to tell him how she feels about him later? Time will tell Morgan, time will tell.
