Category: Drabble, Grissom POV, Blood Lust post-ep

Rating: PG

Summary: What if they know?

Spoilers: Not really, but sort of Blood Lust.

Disclaimer: I don't own CSI or any of its characters. I just have some fun with them now and again.

Author's notes: It arrived fully formed from my head just like Athena. There's a vague Greek art metaphor, and I'm counting on Eolivet to catch it. Thanks to Dev for the title and all the feedback. And yes, I do believe the heading is longer than the fic.
