            Thanks for the Reviews!

Greg slowly opened his eyes, bright lights blinding him. It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the light but it was then he realizes his surroundings. Catherine was sitting in a chair next to him, holding his hand. Nick was pacing back and forth of the room and Grissom sat next to the window, shaking his head softly.

"Greg!" exclaimed Catherine as she saw the kooky lab tech opened his eyes.

Nick and Grissom soon surrounded the bed.

 "Are you okay?" ask Nick. 

"Did anyone catch the number of the truck that hit me?" Greg joked.

That gave a smile to all three of them but soon Grissom turned serious.

"Greg do you remember anything that happened before you were thrown out of the window?" ask Grissom, wondering why Greg kept getting hurt at his own job where he should feel safe.

Greg closes his eyes and thought really hard, "All I remember is I was running your tests then Nick came in and we got into a fight and everything after that seems to be a blur."

Grissom looked suspiciously at Nick, Catherine shook her head, she knew Nick wouldn't do something like that to his best friend, she hoped Grissom wouldn't think so.

"Nick, I want to speak to you when we get back to the lab, in my office."

 Nick widens his eyes, there's no way Grissom could think he could do something like that to Greg. But Grissom wasn't sure what to believe.

 Greg moaned softly at the pain in his head. "What the hell happened?" he asks.

 "You were thrown out of the DNA lab window." Nick explained to him.

"Again?" Greg moaned. Nick nodded his head.

The nurse came in and disturbed the moment, "I have to give Mr. Sanders him medication."

"When do you think he will be release?" ask Catherine.

"Probably in five to six days at least until he adjust to the blood lost."

Greg widens his eyes It felt as if I was just here last night with burns on my back he thought.

"Take care okay Greg." Catherine smiled at him.

 Greg groaned softly and closes his eyes as the three CSIs left the room and headed back to the lab.

            Nick stormed into the lab. Why doesn't anyone believe me he wondered.

He bumped into Warrick in the locker room.

"Hey Nick, I heard what happened to Greg." He greeted.

"Yeah, everybody thinks I did it because we got in an argument." snapped Nick.

"Not everyone," a female voice interrupted.

Nick and Warrick turned around to see Catherine entering the locker room.

"Come on Nick do you actually think I could believe that you could hurt one of your best friends?" she asks.

Nick shook his head.

 "I don't care what anyone says either, I know you didn't hurt that kid." Warrick spoke up.

Nick smiled, "Thanks."

Catherine and Warrick grinned, "It's not a problem, or if Greg would say no promblemo!" 

Grissom poke his head into the room, "Nick I need to talk to you."

 Nick sigh, "Wish me lucks guys." 

"Good luck!" they cheered.

Nick and Grissom walked to his office. As soon as Grissom shut the door he turned to Nick and sigh. "Listen I don't know what to believe but I know-"

The door flew open interrupting Grissom. The director (I don't know the boss of the lab name is) stormed in.

"You're a big disappointment to this entire lab!" he screamed.

Grissom and Nick looked at each other.

"What are you talking about sir?" ask Grissom.

"Someone in this lab -I'm not saying names- said that they saw Nick throw Greg out of the window!"

 Grissom looked at Nick, a that's not true is it look. Nick remembered seeing brown hair figure, and then the realization hit him like a bullet.

 "It wasn't me sir, it was Hodges!" Nick defended himself.

 "Yeah right, Nick Stokes you are fired!"

Nick widens his eyes, Grissom spoke up, "Nick wouldn't do something like that!"

The director rolled his eyes and started hard at them, "I don't care of whom he is, someone saw Nick and I believe him!"

Nick sighs and stormed out of the office, the director turned his attention to Grissom.

"How many times to I have to tell you, it's not your job to protect your people!"

Grissom defended himself, "Without the people, there is no lab."

(I know a few quotes from PwF so sue me! It's my fave scene! (expect when Greg talks to Grissom in the beginning before the lab blows, poor Greg!))
