A/N I apologize for any mistakes spelling or otherwise.
Greg walked into the crime lab. He was thinking about his recent conversation with John. With his mind else where Greg didn't see Cathrine until he walked into her knocking the case files she was carrying to the ground.
" Uh sorry Cath I didn't see you." He said helping her pick up the files. Looking at Greg Cathrine gave the young CSI a small smile. Before saying. " I noticed . Where have you been anyway? I've been looking for you everywhere." She knew where he had been and she also knew that he wouldn't tell her where he had really been.
Greg paled a little when he heard that Cathrine had been looking for him. " Sorry Cathrine. I um had an errand to run. I should have told you... Um why did you want me?"
Cathrine saw Greg pail and start to get nervous. Controlling the chuckle in her throat and hiding the smile that was trying to make it's way on to her lips. Cathrine looked at Greg as she answered his question.
" I wanted you to help Warwick with the evidence from this mornings case please. I think he's in the trace lab."
Giving a sigh Greg wished that he didn't have to keep coming back to work. " Yeah sure thing Cath I'll get right on it." He said walking up the halls to the trace lab.
When she was sure Greg was out of ear shot Cathrine hit speed dial and waited until the person at the other end picked up.
" Hey Gil it's Cathrine here. Guess what?... No, Greg just got back to the crime lab...yeah... he's gone to find Warwick... alright see you soon." With that Cathrine hung up and went back to work.
AT THE TRACE LAB" Hey Warwick" Greg greeted as he walked into the trace lab. " Hey Greg." Warwick said looking up to see the younger man putting on latex gloves. " You needn't bother Greg my boy I've just about finished."
" Alright fine I was just trying to help like Cathrine asked me too."
Cathrine chose this moment to enter the trace lab. " Hey boy's how's it going?" She asked by way of greeting. Knowing full well that Warwick wouldn't have let Greg touch anything.
Warwick was the one to answer the senior officer.
"Great, I've just got to run this soil sample and then I'm all done." He said throwing her a look that said not really but I don't want this bastard touching anything.
Smiling at the look on Warwick's face she said. " Great. Good work, once you've finished that can you both meet us in Grissom's office for a couple of minutes please?" Giving warwick a look that said about him.
" Yeah sure." They said together. Cathrine left to gather the rest of the team. Warwick went and gave the soil sample to Hodge's to run and went down to Grissom's office with Greg in tow.
TEN MINUTE'S LATERWalking into her husbands office Sara saw the team sitting around quietly talking amongst themselves. When they heard the door open the team looked up to see who had walked in. Grissom walked over to his wife and giving her a hug and a kiss lead her over to his chair where he sat down and pulled her onto his lap. After making sure Sara was comfortable on his lap Grissom finally spoke.
" Alright now that everyone's here this meeting can begin. Now most of you know why I've called this meeting. In fact the only two people who don't know why I called this meeting are Sara and Greg. You see I called this meeting so that we might get some answers. So Greg why don't you start, by enlightening us on how you know Sara's brother." Grissom said turning to face Greg who was sitting on a plastic folding chair in the corner of the room.
Lifting her head from it's resting place on Gil's shoulder. Sara looked over at Greg in shock and asked in a low voice.
" You know my brother?"
Greg looked visibly nerves as he tried to think of what to say. He couldn't openly admit that he knew John or that he was involved in Romeo's kidnapping. Jim cleared his throat getting rather impatient at the man that had helped cause both Sara and Gil. But especially Sara so much grief over the past few weeks.
Greg knowing that the team were waiting for an answer finally said. "I've seen him a few times. But I have hardly spoken to him I swear."
Letting out a slight chuckle and shaking her head Cathrine looked over to where Greg sat and looked him dead in the eye when she said.
" Would you like to re answer that question. You see Greg everyone here is very good at their job. Now you see we pulled both John Kire's and your phone records, and do you know what we found? We found that you and John have been calling each other over the past two months. Oh and your last call lasted a hour. Oh and don't worry we got a warrant. So this will all hold up in court."
Once Cathrine had finished speaking Greg was going to say something when Grissom put up a hand to silence him. Grissom then picked up the accusation thread.
" And I have had a detective following you, because I had some evidence that lead me to believe that you were helping him. You see the reason this meeting was called, was because I got a phone call from this detective telling me that you were in a meeting with John and that my son's name was mentioned."
Hearing this Sara felt her anger rising and when Grissom mentioned the fact that their son's name came up she exploded. "What you... My son could be dead no thanks to you." Tears streamed down her face and Grissom pulled her close in an effort to both calm her down and comfort her.
Greg saw the effect that this was having on Sara and he almost felt sorry for her. Almost. Instead he told her the truth. Knowing that unless he gave the team an explanation as to his involvement. " He's not dead. Sara trust me."
The minute Greg told her to trust him, she exploded.
"Why the hell would or should I trust you. You worthless piece of trash. This is all your fault. I can't believe I use to be friends with you. You're just a nobody."
The team listened to Sara's outburst and none of them felt the least bit sorry for Greg. But knowing that everyone wanted and needed answers Sophia decide to take Sara out of the room until the team had finished questioning Greg.
" Hey Sara why don't we go and get a cup of coffee. Whilst Gil and the team handle Greg okay?"
Knowing that she could trust Gil, Sara slowly nodded her head. Giving Grissom a kiss, Sara got off of her husband's lap, and went with Sophia down to the breakroom.
Now his wife had left the room Grissom, let his anger show. " Alright now that my wife has left Greg. I want the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth or god help you. So Greg how do you know Sara's brother?"
Greg sighed. He knew the game was up. " I...well um... we." He staggered.
" Just hurry up all ready man. We want to be able to give Sara some answers some time this century." Nick snapped. Getting really impatient with Greg.
" Alright, alright one of my friend's got themselves into trouble a couple of months back and I went to visit. John was in the same cell block as my friend. He heard that I worked at the crime lab.
FLASHBACK
John sat in his cell listening to the man across the way talking to himself. Suddenly his ears pricked up. Did the guy just say he had a friend that worked in the Las Vegas crime lab. During activity time outside, John approached the man.
" Hey did I hear you say that you have a friend that works in the crime lab?"
"Yeah why?"
" I was just wondering, what's his name?"
" Greg Sanders"
" Hi my name is John Kire. I heard you worked at the crime lab."
" Yeah I do."
" Do you know a woman by the name of Sara Sidle?"
" Yeah I work with her. Only her name is Sara Grissom as she's married and has a son. She's also pregnant with another child. Why is she a friend of yours?"
END OF FLASHBACK
Grissom who had just managed to get his temper in check felt is rise.
" What the hell, you told him that Sara and I were married. That we had a child, and that Sara was pregnant with Laura Rose. Who the hell do you think you are? Wait you know what don't answer that. I know exactly who you are. You are a pathetic little shrimp, who thinks that they are so clever. Just tell me this Greg. What made you want to help this bastard?"
Greg squirmed. He had really respected Gil especially after the man took his side when he wanted to leave the lab for field work. " Well you see he offered me $25,000 to help him teach Sara a lesson."
The team looked at Greg in disgust.
" What you took money from a felon. What lesson if you don't mind me asking did he want to teach Sara?" Warwick said.
" Well you see John told me Sara was his sister. He also told me that it was because of her fault that her mom killed her dad. And also that her mom killed herself." So I kind of told him that if he wanted to ret back at Sara the easiest way was to kidnap her son."
