There's No Place Like Home

Chapter 7 Just for Fun

Four days later Greg was standing in his room looking at tri-fold boards, pictures on the wall and charts in a two inch three ring binder. It was like holographic numbers, pictures and videos were in front of him. The charts would increase and decreased in size. He kept trying to make sense of everything that he has there. But nothing was adding up.

The past four days he worked on a case with SID. It was where a body was found under a concrete blanket and by a, pile of old green jell-o. It was a weird case. But they found the killer yesterday.

"Greg someone's here." said his mother opening his door

"Thanks Mrs. Sanders I can take it from here." said Morgan going in Greg's room and Greg went to his mother

"She's pretty Greg." said Mrs. Sanders to her son

"Mom." said Greg in a hushed voice then closed his door and turned around "Just ignore whatever she told you about me. Even if she is harmless, she likes to pry into my personal life."

"Every mom does. So what did she say about me?" Morgan wondered as she looked at him

"That you're pretty. She probably wants us to get together at some point." replied Greg

Morgan smiled as she stood there. Although she felt a little awkward she also felt flattered. She did like Greg he was different than all the guys she has known in her life. But to her different can be a good thing not a bad thing it's just on you put it in life.

Greg moved and went over to her being just about an inch from her as she craned her neck up but just barely. They looked at each other's blue and brown eyes as they both just couldn't resist them. But for Greg it wasn't just the eyes it was Morgan's personality and who she was that made him like her. It just feels amazing being this close to her. So why was he also nervous while he looked right at her?

He tried to relax every muscle in his body to relieve tension. But it wasn't working. It made him feel more nervous and anxious to what could happen to them.

"Uh . . . have you found anything new?" asked Morgan looking to the side and at everything they have on the case

"Not yet." said Greg as he stood there

"Well let's get looking and cracking." responded Morgan grabbing some papers

"Yeah." whispered Greg while looking at her

Greg grabbed some papers from the desk and started rifling through it one by one. But he couldn't pay attention to it he kept getting sidetracked by the thought of Morgan. He kept thinking of how pretty she was, how smart she was and how motivated she is with the case.

Morgan looked up from the papers that were in her hand and looked at Greg right there. She saw that he was looking at her for some odd reason. Was it because of what his mother told him? Or was it what Greg told her after his mother left? She found it interesting how Mrs. Sanders is going to want the two of them to get together. But she couldn't blame his mother.

Morgan couldn't help but think about Greg. She thinks he's cute and determined about the case. It's what was making her so into him so enticed by him. She brought the papers back up in front of her as she looked at them but still was looking at Greg.

Greg grabbed some more papers on the desk. He went through all of them right there quickly but keeping an eye on words and stuff on them. There seems to be nothing yet that has come up. This case was taking a lot longer than he thought it was going to take. He thought it would only last about one week possibly even two weeks. The first week was practically done with. But maybe the longer it takes the better. He really likes Morgan his partner on the case.

Finally Greg decided to put the papers back down on the desk and went over to Morgan. She looked at him wondering what was going on. Greg put his hands to her shoulder then smiled as he brought her back playfully right into his bed as she did a low scream so no one could hear. She looked at him right there not believing it. How could they both slowly fall for each other after knowing each other for only just a day less than a week?

Greg brought his hand up to her hair and started brushing it as she looked up at him with her blue eyes. He couldn't help but smile down at her as she smiled at him in response. They just lied there on the bed not moving except for Greg brushing her hair lightly.

"I'm sorry Morgan it's just. I can't help but think about you. I know we only met six days ago." said Greg

"I understand. That's been happening with me as well." said Morgan as she looked at him

"Come on." said Greg getting off the bed

"Where are we going Greg?" asked Morgan

"To have some fun. We're not going to think about the case at all." said Greg looking at her

"Okay, are you sure?" Morgan wondered

"Dead sure now let's go." said Greg

"Alright." said Morgan not helping herself but would laugh


About twenty minutes later Greg and Morgan went in a place called 99 Greene's Room a place that Greg knows of. Morgan looked around seeing gray walls around with a Shamrock green stripe going all around. There was small bar and also a stage to the side. There was a laminate dance floor in the middle and table all around that were gray, white or green.

"What is this place?" asked Morgan

"It's kind of like a bar but different." said Greg to her right there "I've been coming here since I was eighteen."

"Greg Sanders." said a male voice coming over

"Bob, Bob Garth." said Greg seeing an older man come over

"And who is this young lady?" said Bob Garth

"I'm Morgan." said Morgan to him

"Well whatever you guys want. It's on me." said Bob

"Thanks Bob." said Greg as he took Morgan to a whit table and sat down with Morgan

"How do you know him?" asked Morgan

"He and my dad are friends. Bob has two daughters both older than me though but I know them." said Greg to her

Morgan sat there opposite him as they were sitting at the table. Just then they got a round of drinks on Bob as it was on him. They started drinking and talking with each other. They were learning about each other on what it was like for them growing up. Morgan told him about her parents getting divorced when she was younger, how father has remarried twice, her mother got remarried for a second time to her still step-father Jerry Brody and that she took his last name.

Greg told her more about when he was a lab rat, how one time he put on a female gold headdress and danced in the lab halls, how he would rock out to some loud music, that he was involved in a lab explosion and that a Sherlock Holmes type mystery is what made him officially become a CSI.

They couldn't help but share some memories of their own to learn more about each other. A band eventually came out and started doing some cover songs. They continued on talking while the music played and more people came in to listen to the band and hang out.

Just then the band that was doing covers started a new song called Superman (It's Not Easy). They both smiled as it was a cover of Five for Fighting a really good classic song in their opinions. Greg put his hand out to her as she took it as they went out as she spun around and started dancing to the song.

Morgan put her hand to his shoulder while Greg put his hand to her waist and the kept dancing together. They saw that they were not the only couples or pairing dancing to it. Morgan smiled as she set her head to Greg's chest as they continued on dancing right there in the middle of the dance floor and the lighting got darker.
