A/N: Okay just want to point something out here, that I don't know if its true, could be a little slow but I think there's something going on between, Jorja and Eric, I've looked at photos from events curtsey of CSI-Media and while lets just say, she more often than not has her arm linked with his, and she almost licked him when she could have easily licked George who was standing on her other side. They are together everywhere, and some the other casts are not even there,

"Any plans for Christmas?" Kelly asked over her the rim of her coffee cup the next day, the snow had stopped at three am, he knew cause he spent half the night looking out the window and watched the snow melt in the hours that followed it. So much for a white Christmas. Which was a week away. Last minute shopping had to be done.

"Nope, gonna make a few phone calls to the family and watch TV the whole day, sleep or play some games I've been meaning too" he too took a sip of coffee

"That's boring" Kelly stated the obvious

"It's better than going home" he stated

"So what about you Sara, any plans? Gonna fly back out to Vegas for the holidays?" Greg choked on his coffee he had been drinking, earning him a WTF look from Kelly and an evil glare from Sara

"No, I'm going to be doing pretty much the same as Greg or I might even come here"

"You two lead very boring lives but I'll tell ya what, come over to my place for Christmas, nothing fancy, just a few family members and you can even hide out in my home theatre if you get weirded out"

"I donna know" Greg trying to find ways to get out of it, Sara nodding in agreement

"Well its that or I come over at five am on Christmas morning and make you both get up with fog horns"

"So what time shall we be there?" he asked perking up, Kelly gave him 'I caught you red handed look' crap he'd said We. Oh hell.

"How about threeish?" she smirked into her coffee cup

"It's a date" he stood getting out of any more plans he wanted to spend at least one holiday by himself, he still had new years.

December 23rd rolled around with sunshine and a fresh coat of snow that had fallen over night or so he guessed, he had actually slept the night away, something he hadn't done since he in awhile.

"Glad I caught the three of you" Gibson said to Kelly, Sara and Greg who were going over the final details of a case.

"Somehow I'm not" Kelly muttered under her breath, Greg smiled and Sara smirked but continued to look on

"What do we owe this wonderful pleasure?" Kelly asked with a fake happiness, it was close to shift change and she for one wanted to get home on time just for once.

"I have a case for the three of you"

"No way shifts done" Greg stood up

"Another fifteen minute and it is, and any case that comes in before that is yours" he sat down again.

"So what case do you have for us?" Sara spoke up

"Well, an ice fisher found something sticking up out of the ice"

"What has this got to do with us?" Kelly piped up

"So here's the address, wear layers its getting cold out and disappeared after setting the folder on the desk.

"Anybody else notice he didn't say what was sticking out of the ice?" Greg asked as he dumped the contents of his coffee cup down the drain.

So this was new, working two cases together one right after the other, nothing out of the ordinary but he couldn't quite shake the feeling that she was more of a referee. Between him and his precious.

When it said near the eastern half Bear Lake, they didn't expect it to be actually in the middle of the lake, maybe off to the side but no it was in the middle of the lake, and the lake just happened to be frozen solid so they could walk over.

"How long has it been here?" Kelly asked looking at the van, that was sticking half out of the lake.

Greg prayed to god, that no one was in there, god only knew how long it had been like that and he was not looking forward to doing a decomp if they didn't survive in time.

Kelly made her way over to the van, careful not to disturb anything, shot a few pictures before coming even closer to try and open the van when a fist hit the window, making Kelly take several steps back.

"Get a medic theres some one still alive!" Kelly screamed and tried to open the van door, wouldn't budge, the fist lead up to the face which couldn't be more than six or seven.

"Can you open the door?" Kelly asked the little boy.

The boy shook his head no, and she tried again, she felt the ice shift

"Oh shit I want everyone in rafts, the ice is about to go" she stepped back as it began to crack. Everyone backed up and officers went to go get rafts and anything they thought would be helpful to open the door. Sara grabbed Greg's arm as he started to back up. They didn't have much time, the van could go any minute, Kelly took a cautious step forward back towards the van.

"Okay on the count of three I'm going to break this window I need you to cover your head okay?"

The boy nodded and disappeared

"One, two, three" she smashed the window and cleared a spot. She had to turn away from the smell but the boy returned, Kelly taking off her coat wrapped it around the boy and stepped back

"Is anyone else in the van?"

"My mommy but she went to heaven she told me so" that would explain the smell. The ice cracked beneath her feet and she jumped with the boy in her arms at the last minute as the van disappeared into the watery grave below.

"Relax, you're safe" Greg told Sara as he watched Kelly jump out of the way, her hand only tightened on upon his arm making him glance over at her, she was clearly not fine but as soon as he saw what he could only guess was fear it was gone.

"Could we talk after shift?" she asked busy on the task in front of her snapping pictures of the watery tomb, he glanced around, no one was within ear shot.

"I think everything that was said has been said already" he picked up a fibre that he saw laying out of the snow that could mean nothing, but it could mean everything at the same time and bagged it.
