I DON'T own CSI, I wish I did but I don't unlucky me. If only I had Nick…. *smiling*

Nick was sitting in the break room; he couldn't stop thinking about Grissom calling the kid Keith when his name is Mark, 'Grissom wouldn't just say something like that' Nick thought 'but he did looked different, like he saw the kid before, maybe he knew him, but if he did why did he call him Keith'.
"Hey Nick" Catherine said when she went into the room.
"Hey Cath" he said, not looking at her.
"Is everything ok?" she asked "it looks like something's bothering you" she sat next to him.
"It's nothing" Nick said.
"Yeah right, come on Nick, you never know I may help you".
"I don't know Cath, I mean…it's Grissom", he looked at her, she smiled.
"What did he do?"
"Well" Nick said, he couldn't continue cause just when he opened his mouth Warrick came into the room.
"Grissom wants us to meet in the layout room", he said.
"Ok", Nick said as he stood up "I'll tell you later", he said and they headed to the layout room.

The meeting in the layout room was over, Sara and Warrick seemed to be the only ones who listened, even Grissom, who talked most of the time, didn't seem to listen to what he said. Catherine was busy looking at Nick, she guessed that he had something important to say. And Nick, he tried to understand what's going on with Grissom.
When the meeting was over Catherine pulled Nick after her so they could talk.
"So what is it Nick?" she asked.
"When we were in the filled, and Grissom just arrived I went to talk to him. He was standing next to the last ambulance. He told me that it was the ambulance who took a kid named Keith" Catherine looked at Nick "but the only kid involved is…" Nick didn't finish
"Mark" Catherine said, "Maybe I should talk to him".
"Yeah" Nick said, "that would be good".
"I'll go talk to him now" she said and went to Grissom's office.

Catherine entered Grissom's office and looked at Grissom who was looking at a photo "Grissom" she said, he looked at her.
"Yes?" he asked.
"Who's Keith?" she asked, he looked a bit shocked.
"You talked to Nick" he said, she nodded "Keith's no one"
"Come on Grissom, you called that kid Keith and he's name is Mark, what's going on?" Catherine asked with anger.
"That kid, Mark, just reminded me of a boy who was hurt in an accident long time ago".
"I see", she said not believing him "anything I remember?"
"No" he said "it was a long time ago, before I came here".
"Tough case ha?"
"Just a case like any other case and if we're talking about cases then why won't you go help Warrick".
"Ok, but if you need to talk" she looked at him "I'm here" Catherine left the office and closed the door, she didn't believe Grissom at all and she was right.
Grissom looked at the closed door, he wasn't sure what he's supposed to do, should he talk to Nick? Should he act like nothing happened? He hated this feeling of confusion. He looked at the photo he was holding and put it in the drawer. 'I better talk to Nick' he thought and left the office.
