Note: I am gonna try to finish this soon, it's just I can't control if those people at school give us coursework.

Being subtle takes too long

Catherine and Warrick walked into Greg's lab unaware what they were getting themselves into, they were waiting on some results for that night's case that they were working together. However the reasons Greg had for paging them were somewhat different.

The pair both greeted Greg with "Hey."

"Oh good you're here." Greg said sounding like an excitable child.

"Well you did page us." Catherine said allowing her tiredness to make her irritable. She knew the shift was half an hour from being over and she just wanted to get the done.

"Yeah man, you got those results ready for us?" Warrick asked.

"What oh no, I'll give them to you soon." Greg said dismissively. "Where is Nick?"

"Working, you know like we're supposed to be doing, that is when not being pestered by lab rats, whom might I add also should be working." Catherine said to Greg in a warning tone.

"Well, I thought you could use a break." Greg said with a quick smile to Catherine in the hope of avoiding angering her more.

"So if this isn't about our results, then what is it about?" Warrick look at Greg with curiosity, obviously knowing him far to well to think anything good could come from this.

"Patience, I'll tell you when Nick gets here." Greg replied still smiling from delight.

"Well while we are waiting you couldn't perhaps give us our results." Catherine inquired at the cheery lab rat.

"No because then you would run off to finish the paperwork, or wrap up the loose ends of the case." Greg said knowingly. He used his fingers to demonstrate running like you would to a child. "That would be no good, because then you'll miss my great plan, besides I'll give it to you straight after. Promise."

"Fine, but I hope Nick gets here soon." Catherine grumbled. She took a seat and began fiddling with the pen on the table in front of her.

To Catherine's delight Warrick announced, "Talk of the devil." And she instantly turned and sighed as the obvious male figure that approached the lab.

When Nick walked in to the room he noticed the other two and greeted them with "Sorry I'm late, just wrapping up my case. Hey, what are we having a party?"

Warrick silently greeted Nick.

Catherine answered. "Sorry no party, but you're just in time to catch Greg's 'great' plan being revealed."

Greg looked like he was about to explode with his 'great' plan said "Finally, we're all here." He walked over, checked the corridor and shut the door. Then turning to the three obviously curious CSIs he began. "Right, you all apparently know about the Sara and Grissom thing, yes?" addressing his question more to Warrick who was out on a case and missed the pervious nights conversation.

There was agreement from the three CSIs.

"Well then, they so need to hook up, don't you think and since they seem to be so clueless we need to give them a bit of a push." Greg continued. "You all agree with me right?"

The two men nodded.

However Catherine said "We already give them a bit of a push, I don't think you need to get involved Greg. We keep hinting at it to them, I keep pushing Grissom, you don't need to do anything Greg."

"Well I was thinking confrontation." Greg said enthusiastically, choosing not to reply to Catherine's comment.

"Come on man they would never go for that. You would damage our friendship with them and we still have to work with them after." Warrick argued to Greg.

"Yeah, I mean we can't just confront them." Nick added.

"These things have to be subtle." Catherine preached.

"Cath, being subtle takes too long." Greg almost shouted. "You of all people should know that sometimes drastic measures have to be used."

Catherine looked stunned by the lab rat's outburst and began seriously considering the idea.

"I don't know, but I guess it might be worth it, I mean we all know they deserve some happiness." Nick pondered.

"Yeah, and it's not really a risk asking one of them about it, since we know they do like each other, right?" Warrick reasoned.

"Great, so is that a yes to the confrontation." Greg asked overwhelmed with excitement. He addressed this mainly to Catherine, and looked on at her awaiting her verdict with anticipation.

Nick and Warrick nodded in agreement and also turned their attentions to Catherine.

Catherine's gaze was fixed on the computer at the side of the room and she looked deep in thought. Then she noticed the three men's gaze, which was upon her and gave an almost wicked smile and said. "We should talk to Sara first, she's a terrible liar. We can make her talk."

Once the finer details of the plan had been sorted out they resumed their work and Greg gave the result Catherine and Warrick were promised, they then left to sort out the case the instant they had their results, just as Greg had said they would. Nick and Greg talked amongst themselves until the end of shift.
