Sara opened the door to Grissom's office and walked in. "Hey... Grissom?"
"Yeah Sara?" He looked up at her, expect news on their case.
"Cath was just wondering if you'd like to come out for a coffee break?"
"I don't know Sara. I think I should stay here and work on our case, but you go on." Grissom turned back to the file in front of him.
"Oh, c'mon. Look! We're all stressed out today and we all need a break. This includes you, too!" Sara stepped towards his desk and closed the file on him.
"Sara-"
"Please... Grissom, come with us."
"Okay, okay. Just hold on a second, while I clear up everything." Grissom finally gave in and began to put away the files.
"Okay, I'm gonna go ask Warrick, and I'll be right back." Sara left the room for a moment, then popped back in. "By the way, could you look in on Nick for me? I'm worried about him." Grissom nodded and Sara left once again to look for Warrick.
~*~ In the Lab ~*~
"Hey Greg!" Catherine chirped as she and Calliegh entered Greg's Domain, otherwise known as the lab.
"Cath, if you're here for those test results, well they're not back yet." Greg groaned as he tried to stiffle a yawn. "Who's that with you?" He nodded his head in Calliegh's direction.
"Oh, This is Detective Calliegh Jones. Calliegh, this is Greg Sanders, our lab tech." Cath said.
"Hi!" Calliegh smiled and shook his hand.
"Hey there!" Greg smiled back. Wow! She's pretty hot... Greg get these thoughts out of your head, she'd never be into you Greg wrestled with his thoughts.
"Anyway, the reason we came down here was to find out if you wanted to go for a coffee break?" Cath asked.
"Uh... I dunno, I still have a lot of tests left to do... and I'm sure Grissom would want me to stay and finish up..." Greg stammered.
"C'mon Greggy, you can do that when you get back," Cath leaned over to him. "Besides, Calliegh is going too..." She whispered to him. Greg immediatly perked up.
"All right! Okay, we going now??"
"In a few, we gotta go ask Nick..."
~*~ In the hallway ~*~
Sara stepped out of Grissom's office and bumped into Warrick.
"That's the second time that's happened today" She laughed.
"So, what's up?" Warrick asked, making a head movement towards Grissom's office.
"Oh... that. Nothing big, just wanted to know if he wanted to go for a coffee break. Cath is asking Greg and Nick."
"And you didn't ask me??" Warrick said with a fake look of hurt.
"Knock it off," Sara said, playfully pushing him, "I was just coming to look for you actually."
"Well, I will definately go. Anything to take my mind off our case for a bit." Warrick sighed and took a step towards Grissom's office. "I gotta drop this off but I'll be right back." He pointed to the folder he had in his hands and left.
~*~ In the Break Room ~*~
Cath and Calliegh walked into the break room and spotted Nick sitting on the sofa, blank expression, just there with the TV on, but not really watching it.
"Hey... Nick?" Calliegh said quietly, as not to startle him.
"Calliegh? um.. hi... what's up?" Nick said, shaking his head from the trance-like state he was in.
"We were just wondering if you wanted to go out for a coffee break, seeing as how everyone is getting stressed and tired..." Calliegh asked quietly, concern still in her eyes.
"Well-" Nick started.
"Everyone's going and it wouldn't be right if you just stayed here, by yourself." Cath interjected, she knew Nick would try to get out of it.
"okay... so when are we going?" Nick said, defeatedly.
"We're all meeting out in the lobby, so come on... get your butt in gear!" Cath tried lightening the mood.
"haha... alright... let's go..." Nick laughed a little. It felt good to laugh. Calliegh walked out and Nick was by the door when Cath held his arm and tugged him back inside. "Yea??"
"Nicky, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... don't worry... I'll be fine... honest... now c'mon, or well miss everyone..." Nick replied and left the room before Cath could ask him anymore questions. Sorry Cath... but you can't make this any better... this old wound can never heal... He sighed and then pasted a grin on his face while he met the others.
What's wrong Nicky?? I wish you could tell me, or Sara, or anyone.... don't try to go through something tough again by yourself... please Catherine thought, as though she was talking to Nick. She could only hope that he'd talk to someone. She left the room and went out withe the others.
~*~ At the coffee shop ~*~
"Oh man... that was hillarious!! I never laughed so hard in my life.." Warrick bursted, laughing at the memory.
"I know... that was really a 'once in a lifetime' deal" Sara added.
"Well, now that you've all had your laugh, at my expense I might add, which seems to be happening more and more, but I can't figure out why, I mean really...." Greg started to drone on
"Greg!!" Cath laughed.
"oh, sorry... what was I going to say now?? Oh yea... did anyone want something else to drink?"
"Sure!" Cath, Sara, Calliegh and Warrick replied.
"Nick? Grissom? Want anything?"
"No thanks." Nick said.
"Uh... No, but thanks anyway." Grissom replied, after breaking his concentration on Nick. Sara was right... something is definately wrong with Nick...
"I'll come up with you..." Sara said, nudging Cath.
"yea... I will too... come on Warrick."
"Huh? But I was-" Cath stared at him... "just coming..." They got up from the table and left Nick and Grissom alone so they could talk.
"Nick... what wrong?" Grissom asked.
"God! What is wrong with everyone... they all keep asking me that!" He whispered harshly.
"Nick-"
"Griss... please... don't start..."
"I'm just concerned about you Nicky... and so is everyone else" Grissom could see Nick's pain showing in his eyes.
"Can we talk outside??" Nickasked as he stood up.
"Sure..." Grissom got up and walked outside with Nick.
"I'm giving you my two weeks notice..." Nick stated blankly
"what-"
"I'll hand in my resignation letter tomorrow morning. I'd prefer if you didn't say anything." Nick finished then turned and left.
