The doctor came forward towards the CSIs and sighed, "I'm Doctor Saybo, I did surgery on Mr. Sanders. It was a tough procedure but we manage to pull through and he made it."

The CSIs smiled,

"He made it?" Nick asked, shocked yet happy.

Doctor Saybo nodded, "In a week or so he'll be released and when he does he should be careful. The bullet just entered his abdomen right above his right hip. So to sum it up, he's still pretty much in shock from what happened and I think he knows that how lucky he was."

Thank you God, Grissom prayed, "Can we see him?" he asked.

"Only for a little while, Mr. Sanders needs his rest."

The doctor led them down towards his room. As they entered, they saw Greg lied up in a hospital bed. He was pale, had an IV in his left arm. He had a hospital gown on and the sheets only went up towards his waist.

They all gathered around his bed and Doctor Saybo left the CSIs alone with Greg, giving them privacy.

"Greg…" Sara choked. She grabbed his hand and held it.

Warrick and Nick looked at each other, seeing small tears in their eyes.

His eyes fluttered and they opened slowly, the five of them smiled as Greg's eyes adjusted to the light. Greg smiled with them, as he realized his surroundings.

"Hey," He greeted weakly.

"Hey Greg…" they replied.

"How are you? Are you guys okay?" Greg asked quickly, as his memory dawned upon him. He didn't remember what happened after he got shot.

"We're fine, don't worry about us," Nick assured, "How about you?"

"Feel like shit, but that's nothing new."

Grissom smiled, "I'm glad you made it Greg…"

The team was shocked at this; they were not use to Grissom being…well… human.

"I'm glad I made it too…"

Grissom sighed, "I'm glad all of you are okay, I don't know what I've could have done without you…" Grissom paused, it wasn't everyday when he spoke his emotions, "I have to admit when you guys were kidnapped, I was never so scared in my entire life..…"

"I'm glad we got through it….and that we didn't end up being the victims. Being stuff in a body bag and shipped to the morgue. I can't believe how lucky we all are…"

Nick smiled and putted his hands on Grissom's shoulder, "I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for saving us, for being there…it means a lot."

"I'm sorry this happened to you guys…"

"You shouldn't be sorry," Catherine assured, "it wasn't your fault."

"Yeah Grissom, It was Yasso's fault…his sick twisted mind.." Warrick assured also.

"But the good thing is that we're all going to be here for each other… you actually have people that care about you too Grissom." Greg said.

Grissom smiled, "Then I'm glad that I have you guys…."

The team smiled, and they all gathered close to each other. They just stood there looking at one another, smiling yet some crying.

The CSIs were given one week off after the whole Yasso incident. However, they did not spend the week alone. They all went and visit each other; Catherine brought Lindsey along with her as she hanged out with her friends. They also visit Greg in the hospital, who then was release five days into the week. On Sunday, the day before they had to go back to work, Grissom took the team and Lindsey to one of his favorite place; his roller coaster. They were all waiting impatiently in the long line, waiting to board the coaster.

"Remind us why we're here again," Sara grunted.

"I just thought we could use some social interaction before going back to work," Grissom said, "Or as you guys like to call it "to hang out"."

"Yeah we should do some more bonding times," Catherine agreed, playing around with Lindsey.

Grissom pointed a forefinger at them, "This won't last long, tomorrow when you all go back to work, I'm still your boss."

"So in other words, be good or you'll be fired," Warrick pointed out.

Grissom –willing to play along- smiled, "Exactly."

Changing the subject, Greg asked, "So Grissom, is this roller coaster fast or boring?"

"It's fast, but not too fast thought, cause we have Lindsey."

Nick smiled at this opportunity, "I don't know Greg, maybe you shouldn't go on, I mean the doctor did say that you should be careful for a while."

Greg cast him a glare, "I was shot Nick, I'm not pregnant! And since when do you every listen to your doctor,"

The team stifled a chuckle as Nick tried to keep a serious face.

"Beside, if I have to barf I would hold it in then when the roller coaster stops then I will turn and barf on you!"

The team's chuckle turned to a small laugh, however a voice interrupted the moment.

"NEXT!"

The team walked up and gave the ticket to the attendant. Sara boarded the coaster with Lindsey, one seat open next to them.

"I'll sit next to ya Sara!" Nick yelled, thinking about Greg's warning.

However to Nick's dismay, Warrick got there before him, "Nice try Nimbostratus!"

Nick glared at him and took a seat behind them, next to Greg.

Grissom and Catherine boarded behind Nick and Greg, watching as the four of them talked and joked with Lindsey.

Grissom turned and started to say something. But Catherine beat him to it, "I know," she turned to him, staring at his face, "We'll make it."

Grissom smiled at her as the roller coaster started rolling up.

Grissom took a deep breath before going stepping into his office. He was surprise that nothing in his office had changed, expect for a few extra paper on his desk. Shift started in five minutes and there already was assignments lined up for them. Grissom sighed and took the papers, looking through them. However one paper on his desk caught his eye, he grabbed it and read it. He smiled; the paper was an email that he sent to his boss two weeks before the Yasso incident.

He folded it, putted it inside his folder, and walked towards the lounge. Surprisingly, the team was already in the lounge. Reading magazines, making Greg's Blue Hawaiian coffee and chatting quietly among themselves. They all looked up at him, not saying a word.

"Assignments," Grissom announced, "Massive Robbery at Third and Open, Warrick and Sara."

Sara and Warrick looked at each other, "I'll drive," Sara said.

"Please," was Warrick's response and he grabbed the slip before they walked out of the lab.

"Male DB at Rover and Red," Grissom said.

"All three of us?" Nick asked.

Grissom nodded, "Go ahead, I'll meet you guys in the car."

The two of them nodded and looked at each other before walking out.

Grissom stayed in the room, looking at Greg who was pouring his coffee inside his cup.

"Greg," Grissom said.

Greg looked at him, surprise, "Yeah?"
Grissom walked towards him, "I wasn't going to tell you this until it was official but I think this is an appropriate time." He took out the paper from his folder and handed it to Greg, "Just don't get your hopes up."

Greg read it, he widened his eyes and looked up at Grissom; shock, "You recommended me for a promotion to CSI Level One?"

Grissom smiled, "Yeah, don't tell anyone," He turned and headed out the door. When he reach the door Greg shouted out, "Wait Grissom!"

Grissom turned around and looked at him.

Greg smiled, "Thanks."

Grissom smiled back and walked down the hall. As he exit the lab, he saw Nick and Catherine waiting for him in the car. As he got in, the three of them looked at each other.

"Drive," Grissom said.

Catherine smiled and putted the car into gear and headed onto the highway. Grissom smirked at they headed towards the crime.  He knew he felt the same way as Nick and Catherine felt when they headed towards the crime scene. They weren't worried. For the first time since the Yasso incident, they were glad to be back at work and back in action.
