"Well, I see your Twinkie and raise it a Ding Dong," Melody smirked. Nick, who was walking in to the break room stopped suddenly, causing Sara to bump into him.
"That sounded extremely dirty. Can I join?" Nick asked, semi- jokingly.
"You wish!" Greg laughed; glad that for once, he had something Nick wanted. He was sure that by the end of the week, they'd be dating.
"Come on, I 'm meeting Warrick in 20 minutes!" Melody whined. She watched as Greg threw the silver-wrapped snack-cake in the middle of the table, "What do you have?"
Greg looked cocky as he laid down his cards. "King, Queen, Jack, Ten, nine," he narrated, knowing only one possible hand could beat his.
"Impressive," Melody admitted as Warrick stood next to the table between them.
"Man, I hope you have one hell of a hand," Warrick said, trying to peer at her cards. Melody shrugged.
"Alright!" Greg announced cheerfully. He threw his arms out and stood up, "I'm king of the lab!" Everyone laughed at his 'Titanic' impression, though they all knew he could have done better than Leo in the role.
"Well, Greg. In your honor, A royal flush," Melody laid her cards down and Greg stared at the cards; Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten, each with a perfect heart in the corner.
"But-" Greg began.
"Hey, Mel, you can come to the casino with me anytime!" Warrick said, congratulating her on the victory. "Greg cheats," Warrick pointed out, "Or tries to."
"Thanks, but I don't gamble. For money anyway," Melody grinned as she looked at the pile of junk food in the center of the table. "Anyone hungry?" She allowed Nick, Sara, and Warrick to pick what they wanted before she grabbed the left over food and dumped it on the counter.
"I wouldn't leave it there, you'd never get any of it!" Sara said.
"It's okay. I don't eat much of that junk anyway."
"How could you resist a Twinkie?" Sara asked as Catherine walked into the room.
"It's not hard, I-" Melody cursed quietly as her cell phone rang, "Harper." The other CSI's watched her curiously, as she listened to the mysterious call. She turned away quickly, "Listen, you sorry son of a- " she stopped and listened again. "Stop calling me! I don't want- damn! He hung up!" she sighed, "Know of anyone who can trace a call?" Melody asked, suddenly turning around.
"Not unless you are still on the phone," Greg said, pointing out the obvious, as usual.
"Yeah, I thought I'd try." she shrugged.
"Who was it?" Warrick asked. Catherine smiled. Warrick was like a big brother to everyone.
"Oh, just a prank call," she replied a little absently as the phone rang again. She sighed, as she answered the phone, "What now?" She listened for a minute before hanging up. Nick, along with everyone else noticed she was shaking slightly.
"Have you changed your number?" Warrick wondered. "This sounds like more than a prank call," he said what everyone else was thinking.
"No, it's fine," Melody assured him as the phone rang once more.
"Give it to me."
"What? No, Warrick, it's fine."
"Give me the phone." Melody handed the phone to Warrick.
"Listen, you Son of a Bitch. Stop calling, or I'll have this call traced, and your ass will be thrown in jail so fast you won't know what-" he stopped, "Oh, sorry. Just a second," he handed the phone back to Melody, "It's you dad."
"Daddy!" Melody covered up the phone, since everyone was still laughing at Warrick's attempt to help. When the laughing died down, she started talking "Sorry, Daddy. That was Warrick.No, I work with him. I was getting some prank calls, and he was going to help. I will, but that's not why I needed to talk to you. No, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Jason had to go out of town, and so we won't be able to come to your house for dinner. He won't be back for two weeks." She listened for a minute, "Okay, Daddy. I will. Bye, Daddy. I love you, too!" She smiled as she hung up the phone.
"Man, he's wrapped," Nick said, "And I thought my sister had Dad wrapped around her finger."
"Well, I'm the baby of the family, and the only girl. I've been his little princess since I was born. It comes with the Territory."
"So, who's Jason?" Warrick queried.
"My boyfriend. And wasn't I supposed to meet you at the scene?" she asked. Greg's happy expression faded at the mention of Melody having a boyfriend, but Sara was the only one to notice.
"Yeah, but I got tired of waiting for you. Are you ready?"
"Sure, let's go," Melody grabbed her stuff and followed Warrick.
"I wonder what that call was about," Nick said.
"We'll find out." Catherine told him, "We always do."
"She has a boyfriend?" Greg asked.
"Sorry, Greggo. We'll go hunting for another available chick for you later." Nick said. He patted Greg on the back. "I'll see you tonight, Sara." He kissed her softly and whispered, "I'll bring the whipped cream for dessert."
"Sounds good. Bye." Sara looked up and realized Catherine and Greg were looking at her with smiles on their faces. "What?"
"Whipped cream?" Greg asked.
"What about it? I bought strawberries and made Angel Food Cake yesterday," she protested, finally realizing what Greg and Catherine thought they were up to.
"Really? Sounds kinky," Greg said.
"I'm serious!" Sara said blushing. She didn't blush often, but when she did, she didn't like it. It made her emotions too obvious.
"So am I!"
"Greg, you're acting like a hormonal teenager! Just forget it!" Sara ordered as Catherine followed her out of the break room.
"Sara?"
"What?" Sara looked up at the older CSI.
"What are you two really going to do with the Whipped Cream?"
Sara smirked mischievously, "That's for me to know and you not to know."
