This must sound strange coming from a former Las Vegas dancer but ……..



Most people expect that after seeing more dead bodies then a coroner, day in day out, you go numb. That you just stop to feel anything and that that's what makes you a professional.

The thing is, the day that you do stop to feel, is the day you have to quit.

I know a lot of people think that Griss has gone numb. That he doesn't feel anything. That all he thinks about when another body is found, is finding the evidence and get the person responsible, that he's dedicated but professional enough not to let his feelings get in the way.

How can that be so obvious to them, outsiders, while it's so obvious to me that he hides. He hides his feelings, tucks them away. He does get involved in his cases, just no too involved.

I've always felt the need to defend him. I just respect the guy. I respect him and I trust him enough to tell him the truth. About anything. Even if he doesn't want to hear it. I also care about him. And love him. I'm not in love with him, but I love him. And even if he doesn't show it and even though I've never heard the word love pass his lips, subconsciously, I know he loves me too.

I love that look he gets when he's on to something. I love it when we put two and two together and solve a case. It gives you a real rush. Justice is served. Never thought I'd actually use that old fashioned phrase. It's true though.

I hate it when we've been working on a case night and day and we still haven't got anything. I get so frustrated I snap at everyone near me. Even at him. And then I love it when he stays calm and reviews the case again.

What a guy.

So, when I first met him, I thought he was weird. I mean, he likes bugs. That sounds weird, right ? I was thinking ' Cath, what have you gotten yourself into this time …'

Still, couldn't help but look up to him. Gil just has something…….admirable. You can't help but be impressed by him.

He helped me out numerous times, especially with that crappy ex husband of mine, Bastard Eddie.

Not to mention how he 'handles' the team. Sara adores him, probably obvious to me only. Nick and Warrick will do anything he says, just because they trust him that much.

Don't get me wrong now. He isn't exactly a saint. Hell no ! There are times when he can piss of me and I just feel like…… That's probably because he's right all the time. Yes, I do mean all the time. Who wouldn't get pissed off at that ?

This former Las Vegas dancer sure would.
