Chapter 3:
Greg had been awake for about an hour now, pleased to see a tray filled with food waiting for him.
After he had finished eating he had walked out of his room to find out what he had been missing.
He walked into the hallway to search for Nick but then changed his mind. He never did get that DNA tested…
He slowly opened the door to the lab looking both ways like a spy, tiptoeing in with his hands in the form of his gun. He hummed the tune of the Pink Panther while sneaking in causing the confused Grissom to turn and stare, eyebrows raised.
When Greg noticed that he wasn't the only one in the room he immediately stopped, cleared his throat in embarrassment and walked over to the computer.
He opened up the DNA scanning program and again madly typed in the password. His heart beat fast, half in anticipation and the other half in fear that he would be sent another message.
Again the loading bar appeared on the screen, taunting Greg with it's flickering, except for this time right as it was about to reach 100 percent it decided that it had gone too quickly and in return dropped back down to 62 percent. The computer really seemed to know how to get on Greg's nerves.
When the bar finally reached 100 percent a sigh of relief was emitted from Greg as the results were posted on the screen.
"YES!" Greg screamed noticing that for the first time in 6 months he had finally cracked a case on his own.
A victory dance was performed by Greg… right into a filing cabinet causing it to tip over spilling its papers, then hit a table with some test tubes on it sending them crashing to the ground.
Greg stopped and with a simple "oops" left the room.
He didn't really feel the need to cleanup, at least not at that very moment. Besides, it was time to brag to Nick about his new bonus, not to cleanup the huge mess he had made.
Skipping and singing (badly) Ciara's song "1, 2 step" down the hallway, (and turning many eyes) he went to search for Nick.
Instead he ran, and really ran, into Catherine, knocking her down.
"I see your feeling better." Catherine muttered spitefully as Greg helped her up.
"I see your not?" Greg asked.
"Yeah, just the usual bad day. You know, find a body, identify a body, tell the family, and get their horns…"
"Oh, sorry about that. Do you by any chance know where Nick is?"
"Check the Cafeteria. He'll be glad to know that you're alright. He's been eating non-stop since you passed out. I swear you can tell around his waist." Catherine said, uttering a small laugh.
"Thanks. Poor guy. I know how much he loves me and all…" Greg said a wide smile spread out on his face.
Greg made his way to the Cafeteria to save Nick from becoming overweight.
"Hey Nick!" Greg said cheerfully at the sight of his buddy.
"Oh Greg! You're okay!" Nick screeched, a little surprised of himself for caring so much.
"Of course I'm okay! I had to stay alive, because, you know, what would you do without me?"
"I'm sure I'd survive."
"Yeah but I wasn't so sure I was going to survive when I found out that the person that was sending me messages was from an insane asylum."
"Yeah, I know what you mean. Oh No! Isn't your mom in an insane asylum? Probably getting you back for making her insane no doubt." Nick said chuckling.
"Ha-Ha. Very Funny. I love my mommy very much thank you, insane or just emotionally challenged…"
"Well, I'm proud of you Greg. By the way, before you leave, you should probably contact Sara. She went to go visit the insane asylum the messages were coming from. She's hoping to find some way to figure out who was on what computer at the time of the incident. See how much we love you?" Nick said, sarcastically.
Bursting out into fake tears Greg said, "Oh my goodness gracious! You do love me", in a western girls accent. Odd, but it got the point across.
"Oh, please stop. You're embarrassing me." Nick said with a snicker. "Just call Sara please."
"Will do."
Before walking out of the room Greg remembered what he had come to find Nick for.
"Oh and by the way! I solved the case!"
"You have got to be kidding me! That was supposed to be my bonus!" Nick yelled, playfully chasing Greg out of the room.
