A/N: You know what, I don't feel like putting much here. But please review.

Five minutes before the end of shift on the 27th, Greg and Nick call Warrick and Catherine to start their preparations. They meet in the DNA lab, knowing their boss is busy with Hodges.
"Okay, guys. You know the drill. We only have 2 hours before they get here. Also, one more thing," whispers Greg. "We CANNOT, for ANY reason, let Grissom, Sara, Hodges or anyone else know. It must remain out of their knowledge for as long as humanly possible."
"Greg! This isn't mission impossible," Catherine says.
"You're right, it's worse. It's mission can't-get-caught." Nick warns.
"Okay, wait till my signal. Catherine, Warrick, Nick, you all know where you're going?"
"Let's review one more time, just to be safe," Warrick requests.
"Okay, Catherine-you got Grissom. Nick-you take care of Sara. Warrick, you're with me. We need to go find Archie. He's the mastermind behind all of this, you know. Ever since Ecklie chewed his head off-" Greg says in a mournful tone.
"Ahhh, yea," the other three sigh in remembrance.
"Well, you all know where you're going. Meet back here at 0600 hours. Be swift!" Greg whispers.
Catherine and Nick take their positions. First, Nick escorts Sara to her car, as does Catherine with Grissom. "Hey, Catherine, you want to join me for breakfast?" Grissom offers.
"Oh, sorry, I'm kinda tired. Raincheck?"
"Sure," Grissom smiles.
Once his car is out of the lot, Catherine and Nick head back to the designated meeting spot, where Warrick, Greg and Archie anxiously await their arrival.
"Okay, guys, you know your jobs. Go!" Archie instructs.
"You know, Sara probably would've broken your fingers for calling her a guy," Nick laughs.

At eight o'clock Ecklie walks into the Las Vegas Crime Lab, where a stunning sight meets his eyes. Posted on the wall is a huge scoreboard that shows the runs from every inning.
He and his fellow team members go to pull it down. Unfortunately, they do not notice that the paint is still wet, and a half-full bucket of paint rests atop the board. Not only are they covered with paint, but there is still another card that won't come off the wall.
More bad news for the day-shift: it's all caught on camera. And their situation is currently being broadcast on 15 monitors set up in the break room for the entire lab, including the some of the night shift.
A well-timed call, made by Brass to Grissom, draws them both back to the break room of the lab where Catherine, Nick and Warrick, along with their techies, have the monitors set up.
"Oh, joy!" Catherine squeals. "Boss is here. The party has arrived! We thought you might like this." Catherine motions to the screens. "We're recording."
"Ooohhhhh," Grissom laughs. "You know, this really is wrong. We shouldn't let this continue."
"Yea," Brass sighs, laughing.
"Yea, we should."
"Oh well." They all erupt into fits of laughter.
