Well, we've caught up to the prologue! I've put iti n here for those who didn't read it, but keep going down because there's new stuff too! Also in one of the chapters I called Nick's sister Brooke, but I started a new story called the runaway and I accidentally called a girl in that Brooke as well. Anyway, I've been calling her Brooke for too long now, so I changed Nicks sisters name to Caitlyn. Thank you Goonie Girl for reviewing, much love.
"Abby, tell Lexi that she is not authorised to view these tapes, and would she mind getting out of my lab." Kelly said.
"Abby, tell Kelly that the tape she was sent to analayse may have our killers DNA on it, and I need to take it immediantly." Lexi retorted.
"Abby, tell Lexi that she can have the tape when I'm done with it." Kelly shot back.
"Abby, tell Kelly that by supervisors orders, she has to give it to me right now." Lexi replied.
"Abby, tell Lexi that I don't believe her."
"Abby, tell Kelly to go ask Nick."
"Abby, tell Lexi that I'm not leaving her alone with the evidence she'd trying to steal from me."
"Abby, tell Kelly that I'm not trying to steal anything."
"Abby, tell Lexi that she knows that's a lie."
"Abby, tell Kelly that I really need to get DNA."
"Abby, tell Lexi that I wasn't talking about the tape."
"Would you two stop this already?" Abby yelled.
"I'm not the one at fault." Kelly insisted.
"Neither am I." Lexi protested.
"That is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard, from the biggest slut I've ever met." Kelly argued.
"Kelly!" Abby warned.
"You two-faced bitch!" Lexi squealed.
"Lexi!" Abby yelled.
"Abby, stay out of this." Kelly told her.
"Yeah, this is between me and Kelly." Lexi added.
"Lexi, take your tape, and go run DNA. Kelly, you made a copy of it, so just use that." Abby suggested.
"Fine." Lexi said.
"Fine." Kelly echoed.
As Kelly gave Lexi the tape, she shoved it into her hands, almost breaking it. As Lexi left the A.V. lab, she slammed the door loudly. As Abby watched them both, she sighed.
"Got a call out. 419 at the Tangiers. Greg, you and Archie are on this one." Nick said to Greg.
"No way man, I am not going with him." Greg protested.
"I'm already working on a case." Nick explained.
"Well, swap with Archie, he can help do your case. Then you can come with me." Greg suggested.
"Greg, you gotta get over this." Nick insisted.
"Hey, I'm not the one acting like a jerk." Greg complained.
"I don't care who's acting more like a jerk, I'm supervisor and you gotta do what I say."
"I'm assistant, doesn't that count for something?"
"Greg, please?"
"Fine. But don't expect me to be nice to him."
"Just get the case done. We'll go for breakfast after shift."
"Just us?" Greg checked.
"Just us." Nick agreed.
"Thank you." Greg smiled, turning to leave.
"You're gonna have to talk to him eventually." Nick called after him.
"Later rather than sooner." Greg called back. He was too busy walking with his head turned back talking to Nick, to look where he was going.
"Sorry." he said when he bumped into someone. He turned around.
"Actually, I'm not sorry." He said. Archie stayed silent, just shot invisible daggers at him.
"We got a case at the Tangiers. I'm driving." Greg told him coldly.
"No way am I going anywhere with you." Archie said.
"Supervisors orders." Greg explained.
"You're just assistant supervisor." Archie laughed.
"Not me, Nick." Greg said.
"Fine. But you're not playing you're stupid music in the car." Archie said, going to get his field kit.
"I can play it if I want to." Greg protested.
The car journey to the crime scene mainly involved Greg turning on the music, and Archie switching it off again. This happened so many times that it was a miracle they didn't crash. Except for the sounds of Marilyn Manson being turned on and off, the car was silent.
"Hodges?" Nick asked, causing the lab tech to look up from the microscope. Nick was standing in the doorway with Abby.
"Yeah?" he replied..
"Any news?" Nick asked..
"Same as last time." Hodges sighed. Nick and Abby came into the lab and sat down, still holding hands.
"Look on the bright side, at least she'd not getting any worse." Abby sympathised.
"That kinda stopped being good three weeks ago." Hodges said.
"She's stable." Nick said.
"But one more week and they turn off the life support machine." Abby realised.
"People wake up from comas all the time." Nick offered.
"I know. But still." Hodges said.
"Well, I'm gonna head down after shift with Lexi." Abby said.
"Yeah, I might bring Greg after we get something to eat." Nick agreed.
"I'm sure the others will be down too." Abby said.
"Yeah. I just wish she could hear them." Hodges complained.
"We all do, Hodges." Nick nodded.
"Yeah." Abby agreed.
"What are we going to do about Greg and Archie?" Nick asked.
"I don't know. But whatever it is do it soon, Archie's been following me around and trying to have conversations with me." Hodges agreed.
"Lexi and Kelly are no better." Abby sighed.
"They just need to..." Nick began.
"What's that noise?" Hodges asked.
"It's the helicopter. They're here." Abby smiled.
"Who?" Hodges asked.
"Our new lab techs." Nick told him.
"We're getting new lab techs?" Hodges repeated.
"We called in some friends to help us out. Ashley, Caitlyn and Mackenzie." Abby said.
"Who are they?" Hodges asked.
"Ashley is a friend of my dads, Caitlyn is my sister and Mackenzie is Greg's ex girlfriend." Nick explained.
"Why are they here?" Hodges asked.
"They're going to replace Mandy, Wendy and Henry for a while." Abby told him.
"Doing what?" Hodges asked.
"Caitlyn will do tox, Ashley will do prints and Mackenzie will do ballistics. I'll be a CSI." Abby explained.
"Here they are now." Nick pointed.
The three of them looked up, and sure enough, there they were. Caitlyn had light brown hair, tied back in a ponytail. She was tanned, and had the same eyes as Nick. Caitlyn wore a denim shirt tucked into a pair of tan coloured jeans and a red pair of vans. Mackenzie was, as Nick had described her, gorgeous. She had dirty blonde hair, which almost blew out behind her as she walked. She was wearing a fitted navy floral dress, strapless. On her feet were a pair of navy high heeled sandals The last girl, Ashley had honey blonde hair. She wore a bright pink dress with a tutu skirt, and a pink pair of six inch heels.
"Ashley does not look like a fingerprinting tech." Nick commented.
"None of those girls look like lab techs." Hodges agreed.
"Hi." Abby smiled, walking up to meet them.
"Nick!" Caitlyn grinned, hugging her brother.
"You must be Ashely." Abby said to the girl in the tutu dress.
"That's me." she giggled.
"And I'm Mackenzie."
"Good to see you again." Nick nodded at her.
"You too. Is uh... Greg around?" Mackenzie asked.
"He'll be back soon, he's out on a case." Hodges cut in.
"Is that the guy?" Ashley whispered loudly.
"That's the guy." Mackenzie confirmed.
"The guy you were telling me about?" Ashley giggled.
"Him." Mackenzie nodded.
"What guy?" Abby asked.
"Mackenzie has been telling Ashley all about Greg. She is clearly not over him." Caitlyn explained.
"Great, that's all we need." Abby sighed.
"What?" Caitlyn asked.
"Greg's just accidentally slept with another girl, and now him, his girlfriend and the girl are in some wierd fight thing." Nick explained.
"So two more blondes who like him isn't exactly perfect." Abby added.
"Well, you'll have no trouble with me anyway." Caitlyn assured them.
"You're not attracted to Greg?" Nick checked.
"Well sure I am. But I'm not going to act on it." Caitlyn shrugged.
"Or show it?" Nick asked her.
"I'll try Nicky." she smiled.
"Speak of the devil." Hodges cut in.
"Greg." Nick nodded.
Greg was heading up the hallway, as he passed, Lexi and Kelly came out of their respective labs and ran to meet him.
"Greggie, you're back." Kelly smiled, clutching onto his arm.
"Hey Greggles how was your case?" Lexi giggled, ruffling his hair.
Greg groaned and continues walking.
"It's him!" Mackenzie squealed.
Then she and Ashley ran towards him, and attatched themselves to whatever little space wasn't already occupied by the other two girls.
"Mackenzie?" Greg asked. "How did you?" Then he turned to the other girl, who was stroking the muscles in his arm. "Who are you?"
Hodges let out a small laugh at the bewildered Greg with four giggling blondes hanging off him.
"I actually feel almost sorry for Sanders." Hodges told Nick, Abby and Caitlyn.
"Sorry for him?" Nick asked, incredulous.
"Don't be jealous Nick, you have me." Abby reminded him.
"I know. Nick smiled, hugging her. He had Abby, and he realised, looking at Greg and the four girls surrounding him, that he couldn't be more lucky.
Nick, Abby and Caitlyn went back to Nick and Abbys apartment. They got changed, then Abby went to vist Mandy with Lexi, Nick went out with Greg and Caitlyn went out with Ashley and Mackenzie, who were staying at a local hotel. Caitlyn was staying with Nick and Abby. When they all got back to their apartment it was half past ten. They stayed up and talked for a while. Abby got up to get more drinks, and as she did, she saw an envelope on the table, adressed to Caitlyn. She stopped. How had that gotten there?
"Caitlyn..." she whispered, handing it to her.
Caitlyn took the envelope from her silently. She opened it, and read the note inside. She gasped.
"Cait?" Nick asked, worried.
"It's happening again. How did they find me?" Caitlyn whispered.
"What's happening? Who are they?" Nick asked.
Caitlyn just showed him the note.
Hello Miss Caitlyn. You thought you'd lost us when you got in that helicopter didn't you? Well you can't. We're still watching. Your hair is lovely today by the way. It would be a shame if something happened to it.
Much love, Us.
They were all silent for a while. And, somewhere in the distance, a clock chimed midnight. It was Saturday. The fourteenth. The day was over. Had they survived it? Not really.
So, you could consider the girls and Greg being a bad thing, but that's really not an event, and it's all kind of connected to the first one. This is new though, and it gives Nick, Abby and Caitlyn something to do. Hope you like it. I have a great idea for the next chapter! Stay tuned...
