A/N: This chapter has some spoilers (albeit crappy spoilers) for Play With Fire. I have decided that I will no longer update unless I get at least one review. And let me know in a review if you want to see what else I have been working on. Also everything that is bolded and in italics is what someone is thinking. (i.e. blah blah blah)
"Greg? Why am I in the hospital and why are you here?"
"Brittany! You woke up!"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I? If someone was talking to you like you were to me—" Brittany said as she was trying to make the room quit spinning.
"You heard all of that? You probably think I am completely stupid don't you?"
"No, I don't think that. But I would like some explanation of why I am in a hospital bed and hurt like hell."
"Give me a minute and I will be right back," Greg said as he ran out of the room.
On his way out, he ran face first into Warrick, who was standing at the door trying to make his escape before Greg realized that he was there.
"Warrick! I knew someone was out here! How much did you hear?"
Warrick replied, a little embarrassed that he got caught, "I heard all of it. I am so sorry that I eavesdropped on you. I had no right."
"It is ok. I think I should be the one apologizing to you. I mean, she must have come to you because she likes you."
"Greg, man, listen. There are two reasons why she came to me. The first is because she has known me for three years and I am her best friend,"
"Rub it in why don't ya?"
"And the second is because I live like three blocks from their apartment."
"Oh. I feel like a complete jerk now. I just assumed that she had a thing for you and vice-versa."
Warrick looked like it was very hard for him to admit when he said that he had a thing for her, but he wanted her to be happy, even if it wasn't with him. After admitting that, Warrick went into Brittany's room to talk to her for a few minutes to make some arrangements while Greg went back to the lab to go to work and tell everyone the good news.

"Greg, I know you are happy that Brittany woke up and that we nailed Damien for almost killing her, but you need to get this processed as soon as possible," Catherine said as she brought some trace/DNA evidence in from her case about two days later.
"No prob Cath. You know where to put everything, right?"
Catherine put everything where Greg could find it as she rolled her eyes.
Man, I can't believe how great things are going in my life right— What is that sizzling sound? Greg thought as he went to investigate.
I don't know why I even try. I kept thinking that Grissom would turn any minute and see me, but— Sara thought before her thoughts were interrupted as she walked by the lab. BOOM!
Glass seemed to come from everywhere. The blast shook the whole building as Greg turned to get away from the sound. Well, things were going great. was Greg's last conscious thoughts.

A short time later, Greg was being loaded into an ambulance because he was the worst hurt. Sara was sitting on the sidewalk just kinda zoned out and staring at the bleeding cut on her hand.
"Sara. Sara!" Grissom yelled when he finally saw her.
"What?"
"Have you had that treated yet?"
"No, it is fine."
"No it isn't. Can we get a medic over here?"

"Hey, how ya feeling Brittany?" Sara asked as she walked in.
"I am doing pretty good. What the hell happened to your hand?"
"Well, that is kinda why I am here. The lab exploded today and Greg got hurt pretty bad. Grissom arranged for him to be in the same room as you so that someone can watch him."
"When will he be here?"
"He should be here in an hour or two. Soon as he gets out of surgery. But I will warn you, he will be on pretty heavy meds." "Ahhhh! Damn it!"
"What? What is it?"
"My meds wore off again. You know what is weird? I have been awake for about three days, and I still don't know what all of my injuries are."
I probably should get Grissom and Warrick to get Dr. Parr to tell her. "Here, I will get Dr. Parr to talk to you after Grissom and Warrick come to visit you."
"Ok. See ya later. Wait, can you go get some stuff from my house. I want my laptop; it is in a bag on my coffee table. Just get the key from Warrick."
"No prob."
