Confession
So , Greg managed to understand what the doctor said to him about his paralysis . There was a big possibility to recover if he'll do a lot of exercises ; he smiled hearing that the disease wasn't physical , it was just emotional and he could solve it ; but he already thought about hiding the thing to everyone.
He felt his world collapsing on him when he found what the connection between his fiancée and his best friend ; he thought his feelings worth nothing and will be best if he will just step out of the way ; at least that way it wasn't necessary to Nick and Anna to lie anymore .
"No , God , what am I thinking about ? I won't give up without a fight , never ever ! " he shook his head while sitting on the bed "I'll show them I'm not a fool , at least not their fool ! On my face it doesn't write idiot !"
He was upset , he felt cheated and wanted to get his revenge ; but first he needed to see what truly was happening between the most important persons in his life ; he was a CSI and knew he couldn't charge them if he hadn't any evidence .
He needed evidences ; looks , everything . But the first thing he needed to do was to ask one of them … to see the reaction . But he couldn't go and just ask Anna for example :"Hey , baby , have you ever slept with Nick ?" . He had to be more subtle . So that she won't even realize what he meant .
And he knew exactly how to do it .
….
"Hey , Grissom " Brass entered in a hurry in supervisor's office "news for you "
"News ? Good , bad ? What news ?" Gil asked , raising his gaze from the file he was holding to meet Jim's eyes ."tell me"
"Good , and bad. Dover was seen on the boulevard by a cop "
"And the bad one ?"
"We lost him , but we found his range . And soon will know where he's leaving ."
"Hope very soon"
"Yeah ; by the way , how's Greg doing ? He's okay … I think I've worked to much and I haven't seen him for some months . Don't know what happened after he woke up . He's back at work ?"
"No , unfortunately and he has a lot of chances to never get his job back "
"What ? was he fired or something ?"
"No , he can't walk any more ; he's paralyzed "
"What ? God , when I'll put my hands my hands on that idiot , oh , Dover will pay !"
"You have to see the team … I'll pity Dover if they will find him first" the comment made Brass smile , but he was worried for the young guy .
"Okay Grissom , tell me if something new happens"
He stepped out of the room and walked down on the hallway ; out of the lab while Grissom entered the break room , where the guys were talking .
"Hey , what did Brass tell you ?"
"Nothing important , someone saw Dover …"
"And what are we waiting for ?" Nick interrupted "let's get the guy" he rose to his feet .
"Nick , they lost him ."
"What ? I'm going to …"
"Stop it , okay ? I don't know what's gotten into you , but try to stay still a sec and listen to me , would you ? Since Greg woke up you're like this , haven't you seen ? What's happening to you ? Nick ?" Warrick spoke loudly .
Everybody turned to face Nick .
"Yeah , you act like you owe something to Greg , and you and Anna avoid each other , what's going on ?" Sara's calm voice broke the silence again .
Nick said nothing .He just kept his eyes focused on his feet , not once looking at them . The guiltiness was feeling in the air .
"Nick , for God's sake tell me what's wrong ! We all are angry for what happened , all of us want to catch Chris , but you are over the edge , you acting crazily , irrational , you even yelled at us when we did nothing , and you didn't once come with us to see Greg . I'm asking you again nicely : what the hell happened ? And don't even try to avoid it , because you won't . You'd better start telling us the truth now or we are staying here all day only talking about it , so you'd better answer now ! "
"And don't even try to say it's nothing !" Catherine jumped .
Nick looked in their eyes for the first time that day ; they saw that his eyes were full of fear , shame and guilt . Lots of guilt .
"I … don't know what to say … it's …" he breathed "it's a stupid thing I did and I don't want anyone to know about it …"
But they were listening at this lame excuse , they wanted to know the truth . Now Nick understood what people felt when they were investigated .
"We have enough time until the morning , so spill it out " Catherine demanded nervously .
"Okay . So there are things you don't know about me . Me and Anna were lovers in high-school…"
…
Anna entered their room and sat on the bed , beside him . Greg had his eyes closed and looked like he was sleeping . She caressed his face , like she did every time she found him sleeping . He was so pretty , he was e very good looking guy ; but that wasn't the reason she fell in love with him . Because of his unique personality , his wonderful self . That was what made him so special . And she was still feeling horrible for not telling him what happened ; she was sure he had noticed the changes that happened with her in the last two months ; she was different , she had a guilty conscious and hated herself for hiding the truth from the person who cared so much for her .
She was thankful that Nick hasn't come to visit Greg too many times ; he came only once , thing that made her feel relieved because he didn't want Greg to find out yet about the thing that happened in the night after he found out about the disease . But probably someone will tell him , but this thing will not be hid forever .
"Greg , baby" she kissed his forehead like she did sometimes when she was sad "come on , wake up "
He opened his chocolate eyes and stared into her blue ones . She was like an angel came down from Heaven to save him .
"Hey" he answered groggily , hugging her waist ."what time is it ?"
"Late, is it 11 o'clock . But you need to get up , wash and dress because you know we are going to see your colleagues , we're going to the lab"
"What ? Ann , I don't think I'm in the mood right now …"
"Come on , a little fun will not be a bad thing . We haven't had a date for three months ."
She helped him sit in the wheelchair ; Greg felt embarrassed that he was helped to do things he was used to do two months ago . He just wanted to escape from there , from that stupid thing and run crazily all over the house and the neighborhood . But he couldn't do it ; he didn't even try it . The reason was obvious ; he loved Anna with all his heart and if a break up and a relationship with Nick would make her more happy than she was , then he'll do it . He'll even give his life to see her smiling .
"So ," Greg thought "tonight is the night . Let's see what really is going on between Ann and Nick.. "
…
So , what do you think ? In the next chapter Greg may find out , but there is a possibility that he'll never find out . I don't know what to say , I'm waiting eagerly for some suggestions from you !
