Yet again half way back from San Francisco to Vegas Greg was bored again so started asking Katie lots of questions
"So how old are you?" he asked "what brings you to Vegas? and how come you let Nick kiss ya?"
"I'm 32, Gil asked me to come here to be part of his team" Katie replied "and i let Nick kiss me because no bugger else did anything"
"Was he good?" Greg asked
"Why you jealous?" Katie replied Nick chuckled "and i'm not going to answer that question"
"Aww why?" asked Greg "Nick wont mind"
Katie looked over at Nick who was smiling and staring right out of the front window, Katie groaned and continued to drive
"I'm sure he wouldn't mind knowing" Katie replied "but i'm still not answering you"
"Why?" Greg asked "don't you like Nick?"
"I've only just met the guy" groaned Katie "what is this 24 question time?"
"Umm no" replied Greg "well do you like Nick?"
Sara, Catherine, Warrick and Grissom sat in the car as if they were watching a tennis match, when Greg asked a question they looked at Katie and when Katie replied they looked at Greg. Nick just sat up the front chuckling to himself
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?" shouted Katie "I'M NOT TELLING YOU, ARE YOU DENSE OR SOMETHING?"
"No just nosey" Greg replied
"Tell me about it" whispered Catherine to Sara "i bet you $50 that before we get home Katie will kill Greg"
"Your on" replied Sara "Greg leave Katie alone and let her drive"
"Thank you Sara" Katie said "now unless you want to die Greg stay quiet"
XXXXX
Greg stayed quiet until 10 minutes later and started asking Katie questions again much to the annoyance of everyone else in the car
"So how long have you know Grissom?" asked Greg "and why aren't you a Forensic Scientist in the UK anymore? Weren't you any good?"
As soon as Greg asked that last question Katie aburtly pulled the car over got out of the drivers side opened the trunk and dragged Greg out of the car
"YOU DON'T KNOW ME" Katie screamed "HOW DARE YOU SAY THINGS LIKE THAT, I CAME TO VEGAS TO GET AWAY FROM THAT, MY FATHER ALWAYS SAID I WAS NEVER GOOD ENOUGH"
"I'm so sorry" Greg said walking over to Katie and putting his hand on her shoulders "what can i do to make it up to you?"
"Just leave me alone" Katie cried letting her tears fall "you total arse, i hate you"
"I won't leave you alone" Greg said "i want to apologize"
"You did" sobbed Katie "now sod off"
"Well aren't you nice" Greg said rather harshly "i was only trying to apologize and you threw it back in my face"
"THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF YOUR APOLOGY" screamed Katie
SMACK CRASH
Nick was out of the car as quick as a flash and ran over to Katie to prevent her from hitting Greg again, Warrick pulled Greg off the floor and held him against the car to prevent him from going after Katie, Sara and Catherine looked at each other and Sara knew that Catherine didn't want the money because what Greg had said was obviously very hurtful to Katie.
"Katie calm down" Nick pleaded "please"
"You heard what he said" Katie said crying into Nick's chest "he thinks i'm no good, maybe i am no good why did i agree to come here?"
"Hey come on Katie girl, just because Greg said that doesn't mean we all think that" Warrick said "Greg go sit in the car"
Greg got back into the trunk and closed it and sat sulking in the back holding onto his jaw and a bruised ego.
"Greg hates me" sobbed Katie "i can't work like that, i want to go home"
Sara got out of the car and walked over to Katie, Nick and Warrick and looked back to the car and Greg
"Look Katie, Greg can be stupid at times" Sara said "but we all learn to get used to it and eventually get on well with him"
"Fine" Katie said "can someone else drive i'm really not in the mood now"
"Yeah i'll drive" Warrick "and stick Greg up front with me, you can sit with Nick or Sara"
"I'll sit with Nick" Katie replied sniffing and pulling out a tissue out of her jeans pocket "thanks guys"
"No problem" Warrick said "come on girl, you will be great Sara may have competition"
"Who me? I doubt it" Katie remarked "From what i've heard, from someone who will remain anonymous, Sara is the best CSI in the country"
"GIL" shouted Sara "STOP SAYING THINGS LIKE THAT"
"Why?" asked Gil "it is true"
"Yeah totally true" everyone replied
"See how can i work against that?" Katie asked smiling, who was holding Nick's hand "joking i know i'll be ok with you all"
"Well that's good to know" Warrick chuckled "welcome to the nightshift team, where the nutty put away the even nuttier"
"Ok" giggled Katie "back to Vegas and no more stopping"
"Yes mam" Warrick said saluting Katie "your chariot awaits dear lady"
"Honestly" sighed Sara "Greg your up front with Warrick, you can give Bruno a rest for a while"
Bruno snorted as if to say thank you and then watched as Katie and Nick got into the car, Bruno sat up and licked Katie's hand
"Hi Bruno" Katie said "how are you, you big softie"
"Even Katie talks to Bruno" whispered Greg fortunately only Warrick heard him and glared at him
"Everyone in?" asked Warrick "right back on the road"
"WARRICK" screamed Sara "NOT YOU TOO"
"Sorry looks like it's catching" giggled Warrick "you sure you don't wanna drive Katie?"
"No thanks" Katie replied "i'm ok where i am"
Katie and Nick looked at each other and then turned away to look out of the windows, soon enough the car was filled with quiet snores, apart from Warrick who was driving, Sara and Gil were cuddling into each as were Katie and Nick. Nick had his arm over Katie's shoulders and Katie was snuggled into Nick's chest, Greg had his thumb in his mouth, something Warrick would remember for later to tell the rest of the gang and Catherine asleep with her mouth open. Warrick chuckled to himself and carried on driving until he reached Vegas
