*In the hall way
Warrick has just come from a case that he was recently given. As he was rushing down the hall to get his evidence in to get processed so it was out of the way. He ran into Amy Young. This was a pre-emptive attack on Amy's part who secretly had a huge crush on Warrick.
"Sorry Amy" Warrick apologised, "hey I was just thinking about you before"
"You were?" Amy was startled by the statement but a the same time was very pleased, "what were you thinking about?" she asked
"Oh… nothing" Warrick blushed. He quickly changed the subject. "Could you process this for me?" he said holding up his box of tricks.
"I'll get to it right away" Amy flirted but she was a little disappointed
"Thank-you" Warrick flashed his heart melting smile, and then walked off to the lay out room.

*At the Miami airport
Catherine and Lindsey were standing at the baggage terminal waiting for Lindsey's hot pink suitcase to come out.
"Catherine" came a familiar cry from behind a small crowd. Catherine turned around to discover the voice had come from Horatio Cain.
"Horatio" Catherine called out trying to sound as exited as she could without being sarcastic. She hadn't seen him for a very long time. Not since a little while after Eddie died. Catherine quickly hugged him
"Mummy" Lindsey yelled out "I've got my bag, can you help it's too heavy."
"Coming sweetie" Catherine answered
"I'll help Horatio offered. As he picked up Lindsey's bag. Catherine and Lindsey followed him to his car. As they where putting on their seat belts Horatio asked
"Does Grissom Know that you're staying with me?"
"Well…not…exactly" came Catherine's reply
"What do you mean? You know he'll hate the fact you're staying with me. He's never forgiven me about that case 5 years ago."
"What case?" Catherine asked, she already knew the answer but she wanted to hear the story again.
"Well, Grissom was Woking on a case and the suspect, Jeff Bridges, had fled the state to come here. 'Sunny Miami'. While here he killed his sister-in-law. This incidence turned the case over to me. Boy did this make Gil angry. And to top it off he couldn't find enough evidence to convict the guy, but I did. It was so funny; when he saw the results on the hair I found… the look… was priceless."
"Catherine was almost crying she was laughing to hard. Lindsey couldn't find what was so funny but her mom knew more about uncle Grissom that she did so it must have been a big thing.

*the next night at the break room
July was sitting down at the table dunking a tea bad into a coffee cup while eating a banana and reading freshly written notes in a spirex note book. Greg came in to grab a coffee while he had the chance. He never realised field work could be so hard, it was one of those times he wished he was a Lab Tec again. When he walked in and noticed July was sitting there he started to do his casual 'how you doing' strut
"Hey" he said a casually as he could to get July's attention
"Hey" she said not even looking up to see who it was. Greg walked over and poured himself a cup of coffee and bent down to look over July's shoulder to read what she was doing.
"What are you going?" he asked. When July noticed he was reading her notes she promptly closed her book and started snapping at poor Greg.
"What do you think your doing?" she said in disgust
"Sorry… I just wanted to know what you were writing"
"Well it's none of your business"
"I'm sorry okay… I now know not to do t again" Greg said sitting down in front of her. He was quit insulted he thought he was being friendly. Quickly he changed the subject.
"Eating healthy are we?" Greg said pointing to July's tea and banana.
"Ah… yeh. It's to balance out my karma. "She said still a little annoyed at Greg, but glad he noticed
"You're what?" Greg asked. He never really understood the cosmic mumbo jumbo.
"My Karma… My inner balance between good and bad luck!"
"What's your bad luck?" Greg asked really starting to enjoy their conversation.
"Well I always go through this cleansing ritual every time I'm about to get a tattoo or a piercing."
"So which is it a tattoo or piercing" Greg always loved Tattoos, he tort they where sexy
"Wouldn't you like to know" July teased then stood up and turned around. She lifted up her shirt and gestured at a space on her lower back. "I'm getting 'Lacerations" tattooed right here"
"Why 'Lacerations'? I mean are you a fan or something?" Greg asked thinking that July was talking about a really cool Las Vegas based punk band.
"I'm a little more than a fan." July said smiling
"What's that supposed to mean? Are you going out with Bobby Head the bass player?" Greg was disappointed at the thought of her not being single.
"He wishes. No I'm more than a fan because I'm a member"
"What? But you're… you're a…"
"A Girl?" July finished his sentence "I know all you every see is the guys. You never see poor old July in the back ground doing all the work" July was a little sad and angry
"So what do you do anyway?" Greg was turned on about the fact she was in a band.
"I do every thing. I play the drums, I write the songs" she said holding up her note pad" AND I compose the music!"
"You play the drums?" Greg asked because he always thought of himself as a pretty mean drum player.
"Yeh. Why don't you turn up on the 15th, I can get you a VIP pass backstage and to the after party.
"That sounds great." Greg smile then noticed the time; he had to get back to work. "Well I'll see you later" he said as he left the room. July was intrigued with the new Greg.
