Chapter four: I´m too sexy
Saturday. The day of the long expected summer party had finally come. The party should be held at an old coliseum near the police department.
Brass was a little late. He had agreed to meet the nightshift crew at three p.m. at the barbecue. Now it was nearly half past three, but it had taken him a littler longer to find a parking space. When he was honest, he had to admit that he had spent the greatest part of the morning with thoughts about how he could avoid to perform at the contest at all.
He didn't want to make a fool out of himself. There would be a life after the contest, even if some people not seem to know it. If he blamed himself he would have to bear the repercussions for a long, long time. Cops defined themselves as hard guys, who had strict beliefs of what a real man could do in the public and if they wouldn't like what they see they wouldn't so easy forget. So he had sat in his living room and mused about the contest till nearly three o clock.
The contest, he didn't want to think about at the moment, should start at six p.m. He decided to enjoy his time at the party as long as possible. There would be enough time to worry later on. Moreover, it was far to late to back out.
He found his colleagues at a table at the back of the coliseum. They hadn't seen him yet so he took a moment to watch them. During the last days he got to know them better, especially Catherine and Sara. Sara tends to laugh a lot outside of the office. He was sure that she would always be a true and helpful friend for the people she liked. And Catherine... . He had known Catherine for a quiet long time, but the last days awakened in him the feeling that he hadn't known her at all. She was not only a pretty and smart woman, as well as a loving mother. She was also far more relaxed like she show them in the office. When she laughs he could see sparkles in her eyes.
He broke away from his thoughts and walked over to his colleagues. He wouldn't allow himself to think of Catherine in a special way. She was only a normal colleague, like the others were. Deep inside he was sure that Catherine would never think about him in any non work related matters.
As he reached the table he was greeted by the whole CSI Team as well as Greg and Archie.
"You are late Jim, Sara and I started to fear that you wouldn't show up at all" Catherine teased him.
He sat down and smirked. "Catherine I am truly hurt, I thought you would think better of me"
"Hey Brass, I have news for you." Warrick said "I will have the pleasure to moderate the contest, but I assure you that I will be fair anyway."
Grissom frowned. "Why shouldn't you be? He glanced suspiciously at the others. "You are sure that there is no bet at all, are you?"
Catherine nodded vigorously. "Yes, we are sure. Brass, Sara do you have a moment for a short briefing. " The three of them got up and sat down at a table a few metres away.
"So what do think of the fact that Warrick will moderate the contest?" Catherine asked the other two. "I don't think it would be to our disadvantage. Warrick is fair guy."
"Would you be fair if it could cost you 500 dollars or in Warricks case a share of 250 dollars?" Brass was sceptical.
Sara smiled her gap toothed grin "I have no doubt that Warrick will be fair. So don't worry. I have some news too! Did you knew who was responsible for the arrangement of the order of the performances? No? It was David. Doc Robbins told me that little, interesting fact yesterday. So I went to David this morning and I could convince him to let us be the last performing group."
Catherine grinned. "Sara that's fantastic."
Brass gave them a puzzled look. "Why is the fact that we have to wait the whole evening fantastic? When I´ll have to blame myself I would prefer to have it happened fast."
Catherine patted his arm slightly. "Jim, don't worry. We won't blame ourselves. You are a amazing talented guy. I am sure that we'll be fantastic."
Sara smiled assuringly. "Cath is absolutely right. What I meant was, that in such cases like today, it is always an advantage to be the last, because you'll be the last what the jury will see. So you will leave the strongest impression. When you are good and we will be good it could be the factor that could decide if we'll win."
"Ok, ok, I give up. Let's grab something to eat and then let's win the contest." He smirked
The next few hours they spent with eating and relaxed talking. Although they all tried to find out what Greg and Archie had planned, the two won't give it away. They only burst out laughing every time they were asked by the others.
As it was time for them to get changed, because they would be the first ones to perform, Archie and Greg got up. Greg winked at the girls. "Sara, Catherine I would rather spend my time with you two, but I have to get ready for the hottest performance that Las Vegas has ever seen.
Grissom sighed. "How could someone be so annoying and self-absorbed. But in some ways he is quit unique." He shrugged his shoulders.
Warrick leave them short after Greg and Archie, because of his function as moderator.
Sara, Brass and Catherine had still time so they decided to stay with her colleagues to see what Greg and Archie would produce.
Ten minutes later the lights went down and the room fell silent. The tension rose tangible.
As the light on the provisional stage spotted Warrick a loud applause was to be heard.
Warrick smiled nonchalantly and raised his hands to get the audience quit.
"Thank you very much. Ladies and Gentlemen I want to welcome you to our brand new summer party contest. It is the first time, in the long history of parties we celebrated together in the past, that we have a contest like this. I hope you will greet the possibility, to see more of the hidden talents of our colleagues, as much as I do. I will have the pleasure to guide you through this evening. I don't want to bore you with a long speech so let the contest begin. "
He grinned as people started to applaud again.
"I have now the pleasure to announce the first group of the evening. Let's greet Greg and Archie also known as 'The Lab Rats' with 'I'm too Sexy'."
It was as if hell broke loose. The applause was ear-battering and even whistles were to be heard.
The music started and Greg and Archie entered the stage. They both wore lab coats and black sunglasses. They went to the middle of the stage, faced each other and stood still till the lyrics began.
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me
I'm too sexy for my shirt too sexy for my shirt
So sexy it hurts
They turned around synchronously and faced the audience. They walked a few steps and rolled their hips one time. Then they removed their lab coats in one swift movement. Underneath they both wore black suits with a red rose in the buttonhole. Especially their ties were remarkable. They had a picture of the bearer and the writing CSI on it. They must have bought them especially for this occasion. The whistles got louder. Mainly women where to be heard.
And I'm too sexy for Milan too sexy for Milan
New York and Japan
And I'm too sexy for your party
Too sexy for your party
No way I'm disco dancing
Archie and Greg began to dance simultaneously to the music. Their hips rocked back and forth. At the same time they managed to strip out of their jacket.
Sara looked at Catherine and they both started to laugh. The whole thing was so typically Greg. Nick smiled broadly, but Grissom looked puzzled.
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I do my little turn on the catwalk
The guys throw their jackets above their shoulders and walked about the stage as if it was indeed a catwalk.
The first ones got up and started to clap rhythmically. Cath and Sara got up too, but they were laughing harder and harder. They both enjoyed the show.
I'm too sexy for my car too sexy for my car
Too sexy by far
And I'm too sexy for my hat
Too sexy for my hat what do you think about that
The guys started to remove their trousers and their shoes. They wore both white boxers with red hearts on it. Now their intention became clear. They tried to copy Tom Cruises look in Risky Business, even if their boxers were an extension to original look. They threw their trousers out into the audience.
There were shouts of encouragement heart. Grissom shook his head. He couldn't believe that it was really true what he saw here. He had never imagined to watch Greg performing a striptease. Catherine and Sara laughed so hard that tears began to run over there faces.
I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk
Archie and Greg repeated to walk of the imagined catwalk. As they reached the end of the brink they pointed to two young female lab techs and beckoned them onto the stage.
I'm too sexy for my too sexy for my too sexy for my
'Cos I'm a model you know what I mean
And I do my little turn on the catwalk
Yeah on the catwalk yeah on the catwalk yeah
I shake my little touche on the catwalk
They drew them near and started a hot dance with the two women.
Brass found it interesting to watch the women's faces around him. Cath and Sara were still laughing and their faces show shades of deep red. There were a few who were laughing too. The others could be divided into those who clapped or whistled enthusiastic and those who seem to be jealous of the girls on the stage. Greg and Archie seemed to have more fans than they knew.
I'm too sexy for my cat too sexy for my cat
Poor pussy poor pussy cat
I'm too sexy for my love too sexy for my love
Love's going to leave me
And I'm too sexy for this song
They let go of the two women, removed their sunglasses and gave them to the women and started to roll their hips again. As the song ended they kneeled down and bowed their heads.
The applause didn't weaken for more than two minutes. Sara and Cath were two of them who applauded enthusiastic. Greg and Archie grinned like Cheshire cats. They knew that their performance was a great success.
As the applause subsided Grissom turned around to Brass, Sara and Cath. "I cannot believe that they did what they did. And this was only the beginning of the evening. Ecklie and the others will still perform. When Greg and Archie show such an..... unorthodox performance I am really curious what you will show us."
