5. Memories

Greg sat down next to Mia Dickenson in the Dann lab. Both didn´t say anything. Mia worked. Greg stared at the wall.

Suddenly Greg started speaking: "Do you know that Grissom supported me all time to get a CSI guy?"

"Yes, I know", she said.

"Now I can't thank him anymore. He´s gone."

"I know, Greg", she said again, "He was a good supervisor."

"Good! He was great and brilliant in one person. He was smarter than Albert Einstein."

"God Greg! You exaggerate. I understand your sadness but you're getting weird. That doesn´t bring Grissom back to life. Do anything against that."

"But … but he gave me a second chance", one tear ran down over Greg´s face.

"The story with the toilet at the crime scene?", Mia asked smiling a bit.

"Yes", Greg smiled, too , "Nick and the rest often said that between Grissom and me were crazy and funny moments. I didn´t think so. But now I want a crazy moment between him and me."

His sadness grew.

"Greg, he´s dead and you can´t change anything."

"Well", Greg remembered, " I know that five years before there was a funny moment between us."

"Tell me. It can help you to assimilate Grissom death. So let me start smiling", Mia said,

"Maybe you´re the one who can console me, cause I´m sad about his death, too."

"Catherine gave me a head like a coronet from Portia Richman", Greg told Mia, "I should make a DNA Profile. After that I disinfected it and I put the coronet on my head and started dancing in the lab. Catherine arrived first. After a few minutes of talking she looked very shocked. Grissom stood behind me. I just said 'excuse me, I have to work' and left. It was embarrassing cause I´ve got much respect for Grissom."

"Such a funny story", Mia said laughing, "Nick is right what he said about the situation between you and Grissom. … Thanks."

"For what?"

made me laugh. I haven't laughed much lately."

"Why… Wait a moment! Let me guess. You know that Grissom is dead longer than I do?", Greg asked disbelieving.

"Yes", Mia answered.

"Why didn´t you tell us anything."

"Catherine and Ecklie didn´t want that I tell anything about that. I promised. So Grissom´s case got the number 41397."

Flashback begins.

Catherine and Ecklie talked to Mia about Grissom´s death. It should be a secret. Mia nodded. Catherine gave her hair in an evidences bag. Mia started working.

Flashback ends.

"I think we are work mates. So why Mia?", Greg couldn´t understand Mia. He reproached her.

"It was hard for me, too. Okay. I was alone, Greg. Do you wanna know how it is to be alone. I couldn´t tell anybody about how I feel because then I would have broken the promise."

"But it was Grissom who died. Didn´t you have any respect?"

"I have enough respect to know that I shouldn´t break any promises of my supervisors and that it was right what I had done."

"But…but…", more tears ran down over Greg´s face.

Mia stopped working.

"Greg, I know it´s hard for everyone of us. You´re not alone with your emotions.", Mia tried to calm down Greg.

"I feel alone. The man who was the best supervisor I ever had is gone."

Mia took out her gloves.

"He isn´t really gone. Grissom lives in our memories and heart. You´ve got great memories of Grissom that you can share.", Mia cheered Greg up, "Tell me one of your memories."

Now Greg understood what Mia meant. He won new courage and started telling Mia his memories of Grissom.
