~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Upon entering CSI headquarters, the three weary bodies of three CSI's are greeted by a much more alert looking Grissom and Sara. They both glance over their tired looking colleagues and approach them quickly to help bring their samples inside. It is Grissom who speaks first. "Looks like you three had one hell of a case tonight. What happened?"
"Well Gris," Catherine replies. "We get to the scene to find one body lying on the floor with half his head blown away. Then we go to check out the other two bodies and well, we don't even know if there is two bodies as they've been completely dissected. However there were only four eyeballs found so we are all quite certain that there were only two bodies in that room."
Sara looks astonished but she manages to say, "So you're saying that all night you had to collect bits of bodies?" She visibly shudders at the thought and secretly thanks her lucky stars that Grissom wanted to work with her. "Do you have any idea on whether the victims are male of female or were they too badly dissected?"
"I found a bit that suggests that one of them was definitely male," says Warrick trying to lighten the mood. He scrounges around in his case until he finds what he's looking for. "See," and he holds up the bit like it's a prize possession.
Sara's face pales as she realises what he's holding up. She can imagine what the rest of him looks like. Luckily for her Nick speaks up. "Come on man can't you see you're freaking her out here. Put that thing away and lets go give our samples to Greg. The sooner we put this stuff away, the sooner we can all get outta here and get some sleep."
"Now can you all see why I don't eat meat," Sara tells them all. "Having to look at stuff like that can turn anyone away from meat." She looks at them all and sighs. "Well it would turn most people away from meat. Anyway, can we talk about something else now? All this talk about bits and pieces is really starting to turn my stomach."
Catherine looks at Warrick and Nick and the three of them pick up the rest of their "evidence" and walk away so they can put the "bodies" where they belong in the morgue with Doc Robbins. Grissom and Sara watch them go and then Sara follows after with Grissom trailing her. Once the evidence has been put away the five of them head towards the break room. Even though Catherine, Warrick and Nick are tired they don't want to go home. Well not yet anyway, they all want to find out why they have Halloween off. Shift is over for them all but Nick has decided to show them all a little something special. He pulls a video out from behind his back (and don't ask me how he got it!! Magic, maybe he's practising being Merlin???!!!) and puts it in. Grissom looks at the younger man curiously and Nick tells him, "Relax boss it's not porn if that's what you're wondering."
The entire room erupts with laughter and then a head pops in the door. "Did someone mention porn?" It was Greg not that anyone was surprised. "I so want in on this conversation." He enters the room and once again sits next to Sara. She moves away from him and unconsciously slides closer to Grissom who happens to be sitting on the other side of her. Nick glares at Greg and continues.
"I said that it's not porn, what I've got here is Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail to be precise. It's a great movie and well Gris seems to need a little update on Arthurian legend before Halloween."
Warrick couldn't help himself. "So you're saying that it's time for us students to educate the teacher? Quite a cliché there don't you think Grissom?"
Rolling his eyes Grissom retorts, "And this is the source you decide to use to teach me? A fictional movie? You may as well have made the facts up from the top of your heads. Where's this Malory guy or Geoffrey of Monmouth?" He smirked at their gaping, he did know lots about Arthurian legend, and he was just messing with them all.
"Are you telling me you've been screwing with our minds the entire shift," says an unimpressed Catherine. "You had me believing that I finally knew more about something than you did." She huffs and starts sulking in her chair.
"Well that was my general plan, to make you all believe I knew very little about the legend but I think I know more about it than the lot of you put together," he says casually.
"And I thought I was the one to gloat," replies Sara which an evil glint in her eye. "And Gris that sounds like a challenge. If you think you're so great I want you to prove it, but not now, we have to prepare the challenge first."
The reaction this caused was mesmerising. All occupants in the room started whispering about the types of things they could include in this challenge before Nick broke the mood. "So Grissom, do you care to tell us exactly why you gave us all Halloween off?"
"No," Grissom simply stated with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Come on boss," says Greg whining. "I'll be your best friend forever."
The room exploded with laughter as they all imagined the young lab tech that listens to rock music whilst testing blood being best friends with the most serious man in the world. "All the more reason for me not to tell you Greg," Grissom tells him. Everyone laughs further until Grissom speaks further. "Alright I'll tell you why you all have the night off under one condition and that is that you not tell anyone about this."
Everyone swore that they would not say a word about this and Grissom continued. "I was invited to a Halloween party at Lady Heathers and I was damned if I was going to go by myself so you're all coming too."
No one dared to say a word until Sara surprised the lot of them by saying, "Sure Gris, why not? It sounds like fun. At least it's not at the body farm hey."
Once Sara had told them all that she was going, Greg was the next to say that he'd be in on it too. Then slowly one by one the others agreed too. Now Grissom didn't have to worry about going alone to Lady Heathers place. The discussion carried on a bit further but they decided to let it drop and watch the end of Nick's movie. It was quite late in the afternoon when they all finally left the CSI headquarters but none of them minded. But they all had to get lots of sleep as three of them had lots of bits to process and the other two had a piñata to work with. There were cases to solve and if they wanted to go to this party, then they had to have all of them closed. None of wanted to miss a night at Lady Heathers.

A/N: Sorry it's so short and I'd like to take the time here to say that for some reason I'm not particularly proud of the way this chapter turned out. I like the ending but I just really have.. something against the start. If any of you feel the same please feel free to let me know in a review. I can see me editing this part. I would have done it before I posted it but I just want to update it so that way I can work on perfecting this chapter and moving on to the next. Thank you for understanding and for caring enough to read my work.
