I just heard that George is now back on the show. Guess all those petitions worked. Here's the fourth chapter.

Greg sat in his lab, peering down the lens of a microscope. He had been busy all day with a triple homicide. Then came the hit-and-run. A 9 year old girl was run over by a drunk driver. It had hit Catherine really hard due to the fact that the little girl was almost the same age as Lindsey. They finally nailed the bastard a few hours ago. Greg pinched the bridge of his nose. For the past few days, he had had little sleep, thanks to the pain. The nightmares were also to blame. Every now and then, he'd have flashbacks of the whole incident. He'd wake up in the middle of the night, screaming and sweating so much that you'd think he was sleeping on a leaky waterbed.

Everybody needs it
Everybody wants it
Everybody's searching for someone
Been down a thousand highways
I never thought would end
Baby, I've been

He took a deep breath and resumed working. The printer behind him printed out some results. He grabbed it and took a long look at it. He then placed it in a folder with other sheets of paper. Rubbing the back of his neck with his hand, he took a deep breath. Greg grabbed his empty mug and headed to the lounge for a refill. There, he found Warrick, Nick, Sara and Catherine all huddled around the table.

Waiting all my life to find you
Always been one step behind you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

He glanced at Sara. She was looking very pretty today. Not that she never did, but on this day, she looked exceptionally gorgeous. She was wearing blue jeans, a black, low-neck sweater with a black leather jacket. Sara looked up and noticed Greg looking at her. She smiled at him and for a few seconds, they held their gaze. The other three CSI's saw this and smiled among themselves. "Greg!" 'Damn,' thought Greg. 'Here comes Grissom, Mr. Party Pooper. What a way to ruin the mood.' "What's up, Gris?" "Have you finished with those samples I gave you?" Greg shook his head. "Nope. But I'm almost done. Came to get a refill." He held up his mug. "I'll finish them up right now." Brushing past Grissom, he made his way back to his lab.

I was tired of waiting
Every night was praying
Everyday would be the day I'd find you
I grew so impatient, how long would it take
To know you were out there somewhere
Somewhere waiting, wondering just like me

Sara got up from her chair. "I better go too. I've got a lot of work to do." As she walked out of the room, Nick, Warrick and Catherine all gave Grissom cold stares. Catherine shook her head. "Nice going, Grissom. You couldn't have picked a better time to interrupt." Grissom frowned. "What are you talking about?" Nick put down the mug he was holding. "Sara and Greg were having a moment. Until you came in the room noisily." "I wasn't noisy." "No, Grissom. You weren't noisy. You were as quiet as a herd of fleeing elephants." Catherine replied, her voice full of sarcasm. Grissom occupied the seat previously emptied by Sara. "Well then, I'm very sorry."

I've been waiting all my life to love you
All that time I was dreaming of you
Your love babe
I've been waiting all my life

'Damn it', thought Greg. 'Maybe I should ask her out again.' Greg saw Sara talking to Archie in the corridor. After the brief conversation, Sara began walking towards the lab. 'Now's the chance.' Greg closed his eyes , took a deep breath and made his way towards her. "Hey Sara. Can I talk to you for a sec?" Greg's face looked quite serious, which surprised her. "Sure. What's up?" He took her arm and lead her into the lab. He turned his back to her and whispered to himself. 'I can do this.' Quickly, he turned back to her and looked her in the eye. "Okay. Lately, I don't know if its just me but, I've been feeling this…this…spark between us. And….and …I think we…I should do something about it. So, would you like to go out with me tonight, after work. For a drink or something." Greg looked at her hopefully. Sara sighed. It wasn't one of exasperation, but rather one of relief. She smiled at him. "Finally. I thought you'd never ask."

And did I lose faith, did I lose heart
Maybe I did, but I never lost my way
To where you are-I've been

Greg laughed. "So its not just me?" Sara shook her head. "Nope. Its us." He couldn't believe it. She actually had feelings for him. Greg took Sara's hand. "So….you still up for that drink?" She put her hands on his shoulders. "Only if you have dinner with me tomorrow night." Greg furrowed his brows. "I think I can find an empty spot in my schedule." They shared a laugh. Sara looked into Greg's eyes and gave him kiss. Her lips felt soft as they touched his.

Your love I've been waiting
Your love I've been waiting all my life
All my life, all my life

Behind them, hidden near the doorway, were Nick, Warrick and Catherine, all peering at the two with huge smiles on their faces. Catherine squealed. "Ooh. This is so exciting!" "And yet so wrong." added Warrick. Nick on the other hand, didn't think so. "Come on. You gotta admit that its great to finally see them together." "And its also fun to see the three of you unemployed. Get back to work." Catherine stuck her tongue out at him. "Yes sir." replied Nick, fearful that he might really lose his job. As the three of them walked away from Grissom, Catherine whispered, "Party pooper." "I heard that!"
