A/N: Kay I know the first part of this has nothing to do with it, but well this is a set up chapter, it needs to be put in to get a catch of things. Also thought I'd do a three in one, update so all that i promised are up.

Kelly walked the short distance to her husband's den; he'd locked himself in there ever since he came home four hours ago. She knocked before entering knowing that he liked his privacy as much as her.

He opened the door, phone against his ear, motioning her to come in he'd only be a minute, she glanced around, his bookshelf had books missing, the missing books on his desk stack half hazardly, she sat in one of the leather chairs she had given him last year for Christmas.

"Get back to me on that" he replaced the phone looking at his wife he smiled.

"Have you eaten?" she stood going to him, loosing his tie

"I picked something up before I came home" she looked towards the desk, a opened uneatened sandwich lay amongst the books.

"But you didn't eat it" she undid the first two buttons of his crisp white shirt.

"No" his hands rubbed her back

"Eat, even lawyers aren't invincible" she ushered him to his desk and he began eating as she sat in the leather chair she'd had previously occupied

"Tough case?" he nodded his head, his mouth full, she got up again and moved to behind his desk massaging his shoulders as he ate.

His desk phone rang, causing her hands to stop as he reached forward to answer the ringing device.

"Yes?" the callers reply had him tense up

"No its fine" he put his sandwich down, wrapping it up

"Yes ok" he hung up the phone and stood, gathering his brief case and jacket along the way. Normally she wouldn't ask but something told her she did.

"Who was that?" she picked up the sandwich and snuck it in his briefcase as he gathered papers. His kissed her quickly before leaving.

"Don't wait up" he walked out the door

Something told her, her husband was hiding something from her.

She was a plague.

A plague so dangerous that just by looking at her could get him infected.

Begging on his knees to save him before it was too late.

So she wasn't a plague but he avoided her like one, showing up late, heading out early that way she couldn't stop him to talk about what happened on Christmas.

She would be leaving in a few days back to Vegas her work here done, she had gained some techniques in case she was ever in Colorado again and needed to solve a case.

Highly doubtful but a guy could dream.

He'd stopped the kiss shortly after it started but somehow he'd known it was too late he was falling in love with her again.

Now the sixty four thousand dollar question was if he should allow them to take things further, to the next step and actually become a couple. She swore over and over that she would never hurt him again but that was now and what would happen when she went back to Vegas.

That was million dollar question was he going back to Vegas? Had enough time passed that he could look at Grissom without wanting to whatever he wanted to do, he was tired he couldn't think.

Coffee and then home, he'd survived another shift.

"Not so fast there turbo" Kelly came in holding a slip of paper

"We got a call, 419 down near Rupert" so much for going home.

The ride over was a quiet one, not intentional it was just that by the time he was done thinking they were there, another thing that he thought was weird that she didn't allow him to drive, already had the car keys in her hand and wasn't willing to give him the keys. Oh well, he couldn't have everything.

He half listened to the detective as they went through the basic catch up that they always got when they arrived at the scene.

"Where's the person who found her?" Kelly asked as she took out a pair of gloves from one the many compartments of her vest.

"Over there" the detective pointed towards an ambulance and police cars stationed down the street.

"Start a parameter" she told Greg as she took off.

Walking up to the police car, she had a guess at who it was. The officer saw her and straightened, she figured he didn't know her last name so he wasn't on eggshells.

"Open" she told the first witness as she jammed a swab inside his mouth and put it into her vest, next came the fingerprints, all the while not talking to him.

"So tell me is the autopsy going to say that she's had sex in the last six hours?" she stared him down, not afraid.

"I really don't know what it's going to say, I came when she called you were there when I got it" she had been standing right behind him. Attempting to ease her husbands stress but she wasn't going to touch him now.

"That doesn't mean a thing"

"She called me because she was scared, I came, I knocked, no answer but the door was unlocked so I let myself in, and I found her"

At the moment she wasn't sure what to believe but she knew Greg needed help so she didn't say anything as she turned. Cringing when her husband told her that he loved her.

"I hate to break it you ya, but Shawn's the prints were the only ones found, but the vic didn't have sex with him" Kelly stared at the pictures in front of her, something didn't add up.

"Her appointment book have anything in it?" Kelly asked preoccupied, waiting for her brain to draw together the clues.

"Just about to check it" Greg took it from the evidence bag and began flipping until he found today's date.

"Nails at two but that's it" Greg brought the book closer

"What?" she put the photos down and looked at him.

"It looks like something was erased" he picked up the necessary tools and within minutes he had what had been erased.

"Tony 9:30, don't forget to smile"

"This is the part where we find out who Tony is"

Greg and Kelly sat in the same room they had been for the last three hours still trying to come up with the answer they tried to figure out. Who Tony was and the relationship with the victim.

"You wanna go back to the scene see if we get anything new?"

"I guess it wouldn't hurt" Kelly answered getting up, shoving the photos into the folder.

Even though Greg had been avoiding her, didn't mean was always successful at it, the plague walked in with a bright smile. He wanted to crawl under the table and wait.

"Hey guys where ya headed?" a few seconds passed before anything was said, Kelly spoke up, glancing from Greg to Sara.

"New leads, to follow up on" she moved to the door

"Need any help?" Greg panicked on the inside, while Kelly almost laughed out loud.

"Sure the more the merrier" Kelly left the two to follow after her.

"Something clicked when I looked in the address book, of the vic, the phrase so I did a little research, got a hit on the phrase" Sara clicked on the screen to show Greg and Kelly what she had found..

"Don't forget to smile is Tony Parker's famous catch phrase on his self help seminar's, how to become a better person, save a few bucks and get your business rolling again that kind of thing" she clicked to another slide showing Tony with a few of his clients.

"Turns out that he had a seminar in Denver this weekend, so I checked out the guest list. The vic was on the and even checked in" Greg paid little attention as he looked down at the papers in front of him, trying his hardest not to look at the woman who had stolen his heart once again.

"Where's he originally located?" Kelly made a few mental notes in her head.

"Can you guess which city that never sleeps?" Sara asked an attempt at humour.

"Vegas" Greg muttered under his breath.

"Well ladies it looks like we're going to Vegas" Kelly said standing leaving the two alone.
