Ch. 4: Changes
The team has also been noticing some changes in Grissom. They've noticed that Grissom and Catherine haven't been talking to each other lately. This especially has piqued the interest of Nick and Warrick.
Nick: Hey, Warrick. Have you noticed lately that Grissom and Catherine haven't been talking to each other much lately?
Warrick: Yeah, I think they haven't spoken to each other since their fight.
Nick: They had a fight?
Warrick: Yeah, Brass told me that when they were working on that bug case over by the Tangiers that they had a pretty heated conversation. Grissom ended up walking out on her. Catherine was pretty upset about that.
Nick: Whoa. That bad, huh. That sucks; Grissom and Catherine have been friends for so long. It's sad that they're upset with each other.
Warrick: I know. Personally, I think Catherine's more upset that Grissom now has a new girlfriend than over their fight.
Nick: We ought to talk to them still. I mean its hard enough working when you're upset with a friend.
Warrick: Whoa, settle down Nick. It's none of our business. This is between Catherine and Grissom. We ought to let them work it out themselves.
Nick: You're probably right. Well, I need to go get a file from Grissom. I'll see you later.
Nick then leaves Warrick and heads to Grissom's office. He hated that his friends were fighting. But Warrick had a point; it was none of his business. He walks into Grissom's office and started looking for the file.
Nick: *to himself* Man, Grissom, where did you leave that file?
Nick then searches Grissom's desk. He finds the file, but accidentally bumps the drawer open. He gets the shock of a lifetime when he finds the picture of Grissom and Catherine hidden underneath. Suddenly, Grissom walks in.
Grissom: What are you doing in my desk, Nick?
Nick: I'm sorry Grissom. I didn't mean to open your desk. I was just getting the file for my case, and I accidentally bumped the drawer open.
Grissom: You have no right to be rifling through my desk without my permission.
Nick: Hey, I said I was sorry. Look, what is going on? You have been acting awfully strange, and then I find you hid a picture of you and Catherine in your desk.
Grissom: You saw the photo?
Nick: Yeah, I did. Sorry. But still, what is going on?
Grissom: I put it away since it was just too painful to look at. Catherine and I had a big fight, and I haven't even talked to her about it.
Nick: Grissom, you have a girlfriend now. Why would it be painful looking at a picture of Catherine if you're happy with someone else?
Grissom: I don't know, Nick. Maybe I'm just hurt that she didn't like that I'm trying to have a personal life.
Nick: Or you care about her. Come on, Grissom. You and Cat have been friends for so long; are you sure you don't see her as more than a friend?
Grissom: Nick... please. Just let it go.
Nick: Sorry, but I hate it when my friends are fighting. I better go.
Nick then leaves a very stunned Grissom. Nick feels bad that Grissom got upset with him, but he could tell that Grissom cared about Catherine despite that he was dating Sofia. Grissom definitely looked torn apart. Nick decides that Warrick was right; he shouldn't have gotten involved.
