It was a hot sun shiny day in the desert of Nevada and Greg was on his way to work. This would be the third time this week the he'd be late and Grissom was losing his patients. Greg let the warm air flow threw the window as he talked on the phone with his boss.
"No, don't worry. I promise I won't be late." He lied to Grissom. Of coarse he was going to be late, he only had 1 more minute to get to the lab.
"Greg, this is the third time this week, I think were going to have to make some changes here."
"But --"
"Save it for later Greg, jut get you're ass over here."
"Whatever."
With that said he hung up. Why'd he always have to screw up? Of coarse it was his fault but why. And every one seemed to disrespect him lately. Suddenly the ringing of the phone interrupted his thoughts. He took his eyes of the road long enough to pick up the phone. When he finely looked back up at the road he noticed something lying in the middle of it. To avoid hitting it he swerved of the road. The phone flew out the window and the car crashed into the ditch.
--------------------
Grissom waited quietly at his desk for some one to answer the phone. He thought he might have heard Greg answer but then every thing went fuzzy. He'd forgotten to ask Greg about the results from a test the day before and was anxious to find out. He finely gave up and hung up. Nick walked in.
" Hey, you seen Greg?"
"No sorry. He's running late.... again."
"Damn."
"Why do you ask?"
" Oh..uh..just out of curiosity."
--------------------
Greg started drifting bak into consciousness. His eyes fluttered open only to be blinded by the light of the sun. He realized that he was still in his car and his head was resting on the steering wheel. He lifted up his head and it started throbbing with pain. The lab tech lifted his hand to touch the spot on his head that hurt the most and felt something wet and sticky. 'Must be blood'. He stumbled out of his car and dizziness over took him and he fell to the ground. Greg took a few breathes and forced him self to his feet. He just then remembered what had happened and he walked over to the thing lying in the middle of the road. It turned out to be the dead body of a young woman in a trash bag.
"Oh my God."
The lab tech stared at they body in shock. Not only was the sight horrible, But it smelt real bad. Must have been decaying in the heat for at least 2 days. How'd she end up out here? Greg stumbled back towards his car to find his phone. He found it lying on the ground crushed. He sat down with his back to the car. 'How am I going to get myself out of this one'.
