Hope everyone had a good new year. (Our one's sucked!), our exams suck! (No surprises there.) And everything else sucks too. But they have finished now so we can get some good writing going. Enjoy!

Chapter 3.

"Hey Sara isn't that Grissoms car pulling up?" asked a confused Warrick.

Sara turned around to see Grissom emerging from a Humber.

Man, he looks so sad but god do I love it when he's frustrated, he looks so sexy.

"Where's Nick? Have they taken him to the...um...morgue yet?" asked Grissom.

"No, the coroner was waiting for you to come and evaluate the crime scene," replied Warrick.

Grissom turned his attention to Sara "Are you OK? I know Nick was like a brother to you."

"I'm fine. I'm more worried about Greg, who fainted when he found out."

Even though Sara said she was fine Grissom knew that there was something still troubling her, he could see it in her eyes.

"Are you sure your just worried about Greg? I mean he looks OK now."

"YES! Now will you just drop it! You do know we still have a job to do."

" If you say your fine then you fine. You can come with me to evaluate the scene. Warrick you go with Greg and start taking photos, and if necessary retrace his final steps."

All 5 CSIs were sittings in the break room.

"Cath, how are you going with Ekcle?" asked Grissom.

"Fine...well, he keeps taking over and won't listen to any of my suggestions. I know it seems petty as Nick is gone but he's...just so annoying!"

At this point, out of the corner of his eye, Grissom saw Ekcle walking past. He ran out of the room and bounded across to Ekcle. He grabbed him by his collar and shoved he against the wall.

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING. This is Catherines crime scene, do as she says," shouted an agitated Grissom.

"Cool it will you? I was only looking out for her," replied Ekcle.

"Yeah what ever you say. You're just trying to get a leg over us, as usual."

"Look I don't know what the problem is but take you anger out on someone else, maybe Nick as he doesn't seemed to have turned up to work."

"That is because he is LYING ON A SLAB IN THE MOUTARY. OK" shouted Grissom as he made his way back to the break room.

When he turned around he saw all 4 CSIs staring mouth-opened at the scene that had just unfolded before them.
