Sorry it's taken me so long to get this chapter up – I've had a serious case of writers block; nothing was flowing, but here it is now and I hope you will enjoy it I know it's short but I'll try and make it longer – major hugs and virtual goodie bags to the people who have reviewed all thoughts and comments have been taken aboard and are now floating out to the sea of creativity.
A couple of months later and Nick was still no closer to finding out who his valentine's stranger was, and he had practically resigned himself to the fact that he may never know.
He walked towards the break room, arriving to find that everyone had already started their meeting.
"Sorry" he mumbled as he made his way to the spare seat
"What the hell happen to you?" asked Catherine raising an eyebrow
Nick looked towards her, he was drenched, the remaining drops or rain dripped from his head, he wiped his face removing some of the wetness.
"Nothing" he said sarcastically
"Good" she replied "Okay Nick since you were here last you can help me, we have a DB over on Fremont"
"Outside?" Catherine nodded "You know that the evidence will have been washed away right?"
She shrugged her shoulders "It doesn't matter, we still have to go, there might still be something there"
He sighed inwardly and nodded knowing she was right.
Greg was dancing along to his stereo in the lab, well he was sort of dancing, more bopping than anything else. He had a rubber glove on his head, safety glasses with coloured spots, a mask, which had been cut, and now had a fang ridden mouth drawn on it and he was using test tubes and beakers as drums.
As Marilyn Manson blared through the speakers Grissom and Catherine walked into the lab coming to a stop in front of him.
They turned the music off.
Greg stopped suddenly and looked up at them with a slight grin slowly pulling the mask, and glasses off before snapping the glove from his head.
He gave them their results and watched as Grissom walked away.
"So" began Catherine "You thinking about a new career?"
"No why do you ask?" Greg questioned
"Just the whole rocking out in the lab, just be glad it was us and not anyone with a higher authority otherwise"
"I get it wait until the cat's away" he smiled "So what further service do you require?"
"Just wondering if you knew what's been up with Nick"
"And why would you think that I knew?"
Catherine looked at him
"Say no more" Greg stated "But to answer your question, no I don't know what's up with him, why?"
"I don't know he's been acting strange since the valentines party and I was just wondering if you knew why"
"Ah you assumed that I had something to do with it, sorry to disappoint"
Catherine raised her eyebrow and looked at him "yeah" she began walking out
"If you find out let me know" he called
She waved her hand as she walked down the corridor leaving Greg sitting in the lab with a knowing grin on his face.
