As soon as Grissom finally let them go, Catherine, Sara, and Greg met
up together outside the building. Warrick gave Greg and odd look as he was
leaving with the two ladies, but otherwise no one saw them making plans
together. Unfortunately, it was late, and Denny's was closest thing to real
food still open. Well, at least from Greg's point of view. Sara secretly
smirked at his horrible taste.
The three of them made polite conversation until the food came: a veggie omelet for Sara, just coffee and a bagel for Catherine, and the kid's grilled cheese for Greg (complete with dino fries!). The two ladies were dying to know what was so important to Greg - important enough for him to bring then here. Of course neither was going to give him the satisfaction of asking. He was enjoying the suspense too much.
Finally, after biting off the head of a ketchup soaked stegosaurus, Greg started to talk.
"Okay guys," he said. "Let's get down to business. Do you know that one receptionist, her name is Amanda?" They both nodded, and Greg thought he detected a faint smile on Catherine's face. However, he couldn't be stopped now. He was on a roll. "Anyway." he said, kind of embarrassed, "I want to ask her out, but I can't do it to her face. I know where she lives, though, and I was thinking."
Catherine cut him off. "Oh you want to do something romantic! Our little Greggo is all grown up!" Sara cracked up, and Greg turned bright red "Well I thought girl's were supposed to like that stuff," he defended himself.
"Don't worry Greg," Sara said reassuringly, after she had calmed herself down. "We're just teasing you. But really, what do you need our help for?"
"He needs an idea," Catherine said, her bossy side taking over, "And I've got one."
Sara and Greg leaned in anxiously.
"OK. Here's the plan."
Mandy was in a bad mood. A week ago se was excited to come to work every day, just for the prospect of interaction with Greg. SO far this week, however, it seemed that if she even glanced in Greg's direction he would look embarrassed and ignore her. There was none of his usual pesky flirting."
"Oh well," she said to herself. "I guess I'll actually have to focus on my job" she thought bitterly.
As she was half-heartedly going through her email, Sara Sidle strodein through the large double door entrance to the lab. She stopped at Mandy's desk.
"Hey - Amanda, right? Sara asked.
"Mandy's fine" she answered.
"Have you seen Grissom?" Sara asked. "I'm late and I really don't want to deal with him yelling at me!"
Mandy smiled "Yeah, I can imagine. Grissom doesn't tolerate tardiness. Anyway I haven't seen him anytime recently."
"Ooh maybe that's a good sign" Sara thought aloud, hopefully. "Thanks mandy!" She hurried off down the hall.
Mandy turned back toward her computer. Sara seemed pretty cool, and it was always nice to have some decent human interaction on the job. Maybe she would try to talk to her again.
