"Look, we need a plan. Without Greg, we can't wage war against them, and... and..." Warrick trailed off weakly.

"And we need revenge! Against the asshole of all assholes! ECKLIE!" Archie roared, pounding his fist on the breakroom table, nearly upsetting Nick's coffee. The Texan gave the AV tech a dirty look and picked up his mug to protect it from any more upsets.

"Good point... we'll need a truce with the other team though." Nick pointed out sensibly.

"Damn Ecklie! Damn him to the ninth circle of hell!" The dragon known as Sara Sidle raged through the row of lockers, with poor Zita to face it. Catherine and Mia had run off, explaining past cases to fill out forms for, and needing to clean up the DNA lab, respectively. Zita, having nothing to do, had to face Sara as she vented out her anger on Ecklie.

"Er... Sara? Why are you so worked up anyways, I mean, Greg's not on our team." The intern asked cautiously.

"Well, I... I..." Sara trailed off. Why was she so mad at Ecklie? Greg was her sworn enemy in this war.

Zita breathed a quick sigh of relief. The question had effectively stopped Sara in the middle of her rampage of the labs. The brunette CSI sat down to ponder Zee's question, and Zita took this opportunity to "go get a cup of coffee".

"So, you escaped?" Mia asked as Zita nearly ran to the breakroom, which was filled with the remainder of the Sith CSIs.

"No thanks to you!" Zita retorted. "And what are they doing here?" She pointed to Nick, Warrick, and Archie, who were standing, all with grim faces.

"Well, they've come up with a proposition. They've suggested that we get Ecklie for what he did to Greg." Catherine said.

This was the last straw. "ARE YOU ALL CRAZY? WE COULD ALL LOSE OUR JOBS!" Zita shrieked.

"We know, we know. That's why we prank his house." Archie explained. Zee calmed down a bit.

"Well, that certainly helps. But Greg said not to do anything..." Catherine trailed off.

"He didn't say not to do anything to Ecklie's home. And I know where he lives too." Archie said with immense satisfaction. Sara, who had been in the doorway since Zita lost her head, raised an eyebrow and gave her trademarked "Sara smirk".

"And just how would you know that, Archie?" She asked.

"Well, I thought it might be useful, so I trailed him home. He has a lot of trees in his front yard. Perfect for toilet paper." Archie said dreamily.

"Watch out, Archie's in love with Ecklie's house!" Nick teased. Archie glared at him.

"Okay, okay, okay, so we'll go to Costco after shift and get the stuff." Warrick said reasonably.

"And we"ll meet at Cathy's Diner to get the stuff at 10:00am, so we'll have a bit of time to relax before this, since Ecklie's not gonna be home. His shift starts at 7:30, and it's already 7:00." Catherine pointed to the clock. Everyone immediately ran for their vehicles.

As Sara got to her car, she thought on Zita's question. So far, there were two answers. She cared about Greg, as a friend, or as something more. The quirky lab tech-CSI was really easy to talk to, and always managed to get a laugh from her, unless she was seriously pissed, which was something Gil Grissom couldn't do. Greg would sacrifice everything for her, Sara knew, while Grissom had already given up and moved on. Greg had defended her in front of Ecklie, getting him suspended. She had to repay him for that, at the very least.

AN: Well? I know the last bit seems rushed, but I just want to finish this before school starts.
