Again so sorry for spelling, but hospital computers aren't great.


"Greg are those results done?" Grissom pocked his head round the door.

"Just about." He leaded over to the printer and handed Grissom the warm sheet. Grissom took it and paused.

"How's everything?"

"We're doing okay." Greg turned back round and busied himself with another set of tests. Grissom paused in the door and bit his lip; Greg had been very quiet over the past few days. Of course Greg had just lost his younger brother, but he had seemed somewhat distant from them all.

"Hey, we're all getting lunch together, you want to come once we're ready?" Grissom suggested. Greg turned back to him and tilted he head.

"Please." He answered, smiling for the first time since he came back.


"What can I get you?" the waitress asked.

"I'll have the veggie burger." Sara said, glowering at Nick as he pulled a face of disgust.

"Double burger." Warrick laughed over Nick's head.

"Make it two." Nick suggested, leaning back.

"Three." Catherine added.

"Three double burgers, one veggie, what else?" The waitress asked, scribbling down the orders.

"Plate of chips and a steak." Grissom said around the menu. "Greg?"

"Just a coffee please."

"What? No he'll have a double burger as well." Catherine said, silencing Greg's protest. "You've hardly been eating."

"Okay they'll be ready soon." The waitress said, walking off.

"Thanks Catherine." Greg mumbled.

"She's just looking out for you, so are the rest of us." Warrick explained.

"Seriously, I appreciate it, but I'm alright." Greg answered, turning red in the face. Everyone smiled and nodded in acceptance.

The food eventually came out and everyone settled down to a small muttering while they ate. They were just finishing when Grissom's cell phone began ringing.

"Grissom. Yeah. When? What happened?" Grissom's blank face slowly folded into a frown as he glanced in Greg's direction. "Yes. I'll send them over. Thank you Brass."

He closed his phone, left some cash by the bill and motioned for everyone to head back over to the lab. Once everyone had assembled in the reception Grissom started telling them what Brass had told him.

"Someone's just been found, shot in the head, but there was also a message left." He paused, letting it sink in and waiting for someone else to catch on.

"Just like…" Sara stopped, he mouth hanging open. "Oh Greg!" Everyone turned to the pale young man, watching as he leant against the wall and sank to the floor.

"Who?" He whispered.

"Rick." Grissom answered, kneeling down beside him.

"Who found him? Oh God, Carley didn't find him did she?" Greg leaned forward and grabbed Grissom's arm.

"No. A friend found him. Carley's on her way here." Grissom answered, pulling his arm away and letting Nick in to comfort Greg.

"It'll be okay." Nick whispered as Greg let go of his tears.

"What was the message left?" Greg sobbed as everyone looked at Grissom.

"It said 'you made me suffer so it's pay back time'. Greg who could have done this? I need to know so we can find them."

"I don't know!" Greg yelled. Nick pulled him into a hug while Sara rubbed his back. "If I did…then you would have their body before you!" He added, silencing the entire group.


Right! short, I'm sorry! But straight to the point. I'm not exactly feeling at my best, so I might redo this chapter later.
