Later that day Mackenzie was stood in her lab alone when Greg came in.
"Is the coast clear?"
"He's in his lab Greg"
"Phew…" he walked in the room. "Hi"
"Hi"
"You doing any work?"
"Waiting for info for Nick and Warrick's case."
"Alright then…" he placed some evidence on the desk next to her. "… know you have"
"I hate you"
"You love me…"
"Mmm. You have your moments. Oh I also have a bullet that possibly has prints on so I'm gunna send Bobby over to you later"
"Thanks Greg"
"So you miss me?"
"You were gone for 2 hours…"
"I mean when you upped and left after graduation" she looked up at him.
"That's not fair Greg"
"I'm just asking…"
"… of corse I missed you, you're my best friend"
"Where'd you go? I mean 7 years with out contact"
"Greg…"
"No I mean 7 years. Did you even contact Hodges…" she didn't answer. "Well?"
"I was in New York… With Adam for 5 years."
"Oh." she started to work.
"Yeah. Oh"
"I'm sorry"
"It's okay. He called me two day's before graduation, his mum died. I told him I'd be down to New York straight after I got my diploma… straight after the ceremony I got a call from a hospital say Adam had OD."
"Oh my gosh…"
"Yep. And his dad blamed it on him, he tried to call his sister but Amy didn't pick up and I was the first person he thought of… and I wasn't there for him. Because I had to get my stupid diploma…"
"And you've been looking after him for the last 7 years?"
"5 years I left to work in Miami…" the computer beeped. "If you see Nick or Warrick tell them their prints are up…"
"Your chucking me out?"
"No I'm asking you to leave…"
"Fine… page me when your done" he stormed out of the lab.
"Great…"

Archie was sat in the Av lab typing away at his computer when Grissom came in.
"You got anything for me Archie?"
"Nothing so far sir… as soon as I do you'll be the second to know"
"Why second?"
"Because I'll be the first"
"Archie"
"It's true…" Grissom turned and went for the door. "Wait"
"Yes Archie?"
"That new lab rat…"
"What about her"
"Would it be wrong for me to ask her out?"
"Do it fast before someone else does… and make sure the under-sheriff or Ecklie don't find out"
"Thanks Grissom"
"Mmm." he walked out of the lab to see Ecklie walk into the finger print lab.
"Miss. Chapman"
"Yes sir?" she turned around.
"Have I heard correct that you're a relative of someone in this lab?"
"Yes. You are correct. David Hodges is my brother"
"And you failed to mention this in your interview"
"Me and my brother haven't seen either other in 7 years. Today is the first day we've had a proper conversation in months…"
"You still failed to mention it in your interview"
"I thought my brother worked in LA still. That's why I took this job so I'd be far away from him" Grissom walked into the room.
"I knew that they were siblings before I hired her Rick" they both looked at him.
"You did?" Mackenzie looked confused.
"Yes. It was Catherine who didn't know"
"Ooh."
"Bet you feel foolish now Rick" Ecklie walked out of the lab.
"You didn't know… did you?"
"No. I figured it out earlier when you two were talking…"
"That obvious?"
"I'm a scientist…"
"Seriously?"
"You have the same eyes" she went to speak but was interrupted when Warrick and Nick came in.
"Mack, Greg said… well shouted that you had something for us" Nick spoke.
"Uh yeah…" she pulled out a piece of paper and passed it to Nick.
"Thanks…" They looked over the sheet. "Let's go call Brass" both men leave.
"Been here almost 10 hours and already have a nick-name… your liked here already"
"Cool" the computer beeped. "Ugh. That must be Greg's…"
"Is their a problem?"
"No… no problem" Grissom nodded and left. "Come on Mack, swallow your pride and just page him… I mean it's for a case…" Catherine walked into the lab.
"Talking to yourself already? Normally it takes at least 24 hours working here for it to start"
"I always talk to myself, I love to talk. So what can I do for you?"
"The Carson case… you got results?" Mackenzie took a breath of relief since that was the case Greg was working on.
"Yes" she printed off a sheet of paper and passed it to Catherine.
"Thank you"
"Happy to oblige" Catherine looked down at the sheet.
"So how's your first almost half night been?"
"So far… I've argued with one person… and my brother, so. It's pretty good so far"
"Who've you argued with?"
"Greg and David"
"The coroner?"
"No. Hodges"
"He's your brother?"
"Mm. Sadly…"
"I feel sorry for you"
"Most people do…"
"I gotta go show this to Greg."
"That guy with the kinda blonde hair, he's a lab rat… what's his name?"
"Bobby" Catherine left the room to find Greg.

Greg walked into the ballistics lab just as Bobby shot off two rounds.
"Bobby!" he jumped and turned round to face him.
"Give a man with a gun some warning"
"Sorry…"
"So what's up?"
"What have you got for me?"
"Your victim was shot with a 45. No past. I was just about to take it to prints"
"Thanks man" Greg went to walk out of the door.
"Wait"
"Your not done?"
"I was gunna ask you about the new girl"
"Ah. Don't go their man"
"Why?"
"I've known Mackenzie for a very long time. And I know two main things about her one, she hates being called Mack. Two, you defiantly ain't her type"
"How do you know what type I am?"
"Believe me when I say… your defiantly not"
"Why?"
"Well for one. She hates guns. And you're the gun guy"
"Oh…"
"Sorry man"
"Mm. It's cool" Greg softly smiled and walked out of the lab. "It's okay Bob… you can still go talk to her" he picked up the bullet and walked out of his lab towards Mackenzie's lab.

Bobby walked into Mackenzie's lab to see her staring intensely at a sheet of paper that she held in her hands.
"Hi…" she was dragged out of her thoughts once again as she spun round to face him.
"Hi"
"I'm Bobby… the gun guy…" he thought for a minute. "Here…" Bobby passed her the bullet. "Erm. I hope you know that just because I'm the gun guy doesn't mean I love guns I mean sure I could change the casing of a gun by the time I was 6 but that's besides the point" he started to ramble and Mackenzie smiled. "What?"
"Your rambling…"
"Oh. Sorry"
"It's okay. I'm Mackenzie"
"I know" she looked at him confused. "Oh. No. no. no I didn't mean it in a creepy horror film kind of way…"
"How about we start again… hi I'm Mackenzie and you are?"
"Bobby"
"It's nice to meet you Bobby"
"You too… I was kinda wandering if you maybe wanted to get a cup of coffee with me sometime…"
"Yeah sure…"
"I mean you don't have to if you don't want to…"
"Bobby. I said I would… god man you talk more then me"
"Sorry…" he looked down at the floor. "I get nervous around pretty women" Mackenzie blushed and she was pretty sure he did too, but the moment was ruined when Warrick walked in the lab.
"Mack! You are a genius!"
"I know… wait what'd I do?"
"You broke the case!" she looked at the space Bobby had previously stood in, by the looks of it he had slipped out the door before she could reply to him, the she looked back at Warrick and smiled.
