A/N: Hey y'all, back down to business! please review! Enjoy!

"Grissom, we need to show you something." Sara said as she and Catherine walked into his office.

"I'm going over paperwork, can this wait a bit?"

"No. This is very important." Catherine said pulling out the pictures from the case. "You aren't going to believe what we found on-" Catherine was interrupted by Ecklie coming in.

"Grissom I need to talk to you."

"Can't this wait Ecklie? I'm right in the middle of something."

"Oh sure, you can finish that while I got to the sheriff to have that kid removed from this department."

"What? What are you talking about Conrad?"

"She contaminated two of my experiments today and I'm going to the sheriff."

"What type of experiment was it Ecklie?" Catherine asked angrily.

"I was checking some of my evidence for blood with the lumenol and she knocked over a bottle of bleach which reacted with the lumenol."

"Wait a minute, where did you do this."

"I uh, I was in chem lab three."

"You did that experiment in a lab? You know experiments other than trace or DNA that are done on large pieces of evidence are supposed to be done in a layout room to prevent accidents like this." Grissom said getting annoyed that a fellow supervisor hadn't followed protocol.

"All the same Grissom, she shouldn't be in here. It makes a mockery of this whole department." Ecklie said rasing his voice.

"And my guess is that when you went to the sheriff you were going to leave out the part where you didn't follow procedure on conducting experiments on evidence. Am I right?"

"Look Gil. I don't need these mind games alright. Wether I followed protocol or not, the sheriff will see she doesn't belong here."

"Ecklie, I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now okay?"

"Look, either you tell her, or the sheriff will. I think she would rather hear it from you." Ecklie said looking angrily at Grissom.

"Fine. She might have already left, I'll talk to her about it before shift tomorrow."

"No, you do it tonight."

"Look Conrad, I don't know about you, but I am not very good at crushing a girl's dreams all at once okay. Especially on her birthday. I'll do it tomorrow."

"Fine, but if you don't, you'll be hearing from the sheriff." Ecklie said as Catherine looked at the doorway.

"Hannah." She said seeing the girl by the wall.

"I uh, just wanted to say goodnight." She said as the tears in her eyes didn't go unnoticed. "I...I have to go." She said running down the hall way.

"Are you proud of yourself?" Catherine said running after her. "Hannah!" Catherine said hearing Greg's voice down the hall.

"Hannah? What happened?" Greg said walking out of his lab. "Hannah! Talk to me!" He called, but she kept running. He saw Ecklie first followed by Sara, Catherine, and Grissom. "Ecklie? If you have anything to do with her being upset, so help me God!" Greg said running after Hannah.

"Greg! Wait I'm coming with you!" Sara said following him.

Greg drove slowly through the streets that were on route to Hannah's house looking for her. He and Sara arrived at her house and didn't see her father's car in the driveway. They got out and searched the house, but didn't find her.

"Greg, she isn't here." Sara said as he came down the stairs. He stayed silent for a moment and looked out the window.

"Wait, I know where she is. Come on."

"Where?" Sara said following him. "Greg! Where are we going?"

"It's a place we used to hang out before her brother died. That is the only other place she would be." He said pulling out of Hannah's driveway. After ten minutes they drove up to a park. Greg cut off the engine as he and Sara got out.

"A park?"

"Well, kind of." Greg said as he hopped over one of the fences to the woods. "It is this way."

"Ah, now there we go." She said as Greg helped her over the fence. They walked up a hill for about five minutes when they saw Hannah in the distance sitting on a large rock.

"Hannah!" Greg said walking to her.

"Hey Greg." She said as Greg saw her runny nose and puffy red eyes.

"Hey, what happened? Why are you crying?" He said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a clean white handkerchief.

"Ecklie is mad that I accidentally ruined one of his experiments and he is going to get me pulled from the team." Hannah said as Greg wiped her eyes and nose.

"Hey, Ecklie is a jerk. Don't pay any attention to him. The sheriff won't. It will be discussed fairly, don't you worry." He said as Sara walked over to them and smiled.

"Hey Hannah, let's take you home okay? We'll get all of this sorted out tomorrow." Sara said smiling.

"Sure. Thanks." She said as Greg helped her up. They drove back to Hannah's house where her father was standing on the porch waiting. He looked through the windshield and glared at Greg as Hannah climbed out of the backseat.

"Bye Hannah. And happy birthday." Sara said smiling.

"Thanks. And thank you for the ride. I'll see you tomorrow." Hannah said walking into the house followed by her father.

"So Sara, what do we want for dinner?" Greg said as he turned on to the main road.

"Greg, we need to talk."

"What? You aren't breaking up with me are you?" Greg said faking seriousness.

"No. Greg it's about Hannah." Sara said as they pulled into her apartment complex after less than three minutes.

"Okay."

"I found something I wanted to talk to you about." She said as they walked up the stairs. "Come on, let's get inside first."

"Alright." Greg said following her closely.
