Chapter 4: I need another drink

Catherine, Sara, Jessie and Greg all sat encircling Gill as Greg started. He told his side of the night he and the intern spent together. Then Jessie told her side. Everything had matched. Jessie then began to cry. "All I want to know is what happened between falling asleep and waking up next to Greg nude." Sara put her arm around the sobbing intern.

"I thought it would be a nice way of celebrating her first full day as a lab tech. I didn't plan for things to end up the way they did." Greg reasoned.

Nick and Warrick had finally decided to go into Greg's apartment. It was a mess. Warrick looked around and found Greg's room. "Let's get crazy in here." Nick took the bed and Warrick took Greg's half bathroom.

Nick used the black light on the sheets, and his jaw almost fell off of his face. "Holy shit! It looks like Greggo was busy lately…But with whom…" Nick took three swabs. Just so he could be sure he had gotten everything. Warrick walked over to the bed side.

"Well looks like DNA will be busy to night. I hope that girl was pillin."

"Huh? I am going to run the tests on these." Nick said to Warrick.

"I looked through every trash can. No used condom." Warrick said slightly worried. Nicks jaw dropped again as the pictures of Greg and the intern having some "fun" went through his mind. He took the swabs he got from Greg's bed and put them in the little cooler he brought to protect the DNA evidence. Reaching into his pocket, he handed Warrick a stick of gum and began chomping down on one himself as they drove back to the lab to run tests on the samples. As Nick did the tests, Warrick watched. Jessie and Greg's DNA was already in the system. Two perfect matches. Nick printed out the results. "Well, I would hate to break the news to the poor girl." Warrick looked at Nick as he grabbed the print-outs.

Both of the slightly sickened men walk solemnly into Gill's office. "You all might want to sit down," Nick began, "I bet you all are wondering why Warrick and I are late."

"We were checking Greg's apartment for DNA. And we found two sets of DNA." Warrick stated. Greg looked at him in disbelief. Then he shot a small glance at Jessie, who looked like she was about to cry.

"I guess I both good news and bad news. Good news is that we know that Greg had sex with a girl recently. Bad news is the girl was out seemingly innocent intern, Jessie Kolins." Nick explained. Greg just stared at her. Sara hugging her as she bawled her eyes out. Grissom looked at the papers and left for the break room.

Sara, Catherine, Nick, and Warrick all left the sniffling Jessie and Greg in Grissom's office to head out for their cases. Jessie left to go wash her face and go get ready for her shift. Greg sat there in disbelief. For the rest of the night, Jessie and Greg avoided each other. At the end of their shift, Greg slowly approached her and put his hand on her shoulder. "Jessie, please listen to me. I … I … I am so very sorry. I didn't want… mean to do that to… with you."

She looked at him with her brown eyes that reminded Greg of deer eyes, "I accept your apology. But after that shocker I could use another drink… badly." She winked at him.

"Yeah I could too. But one condition, you go with Sara and Catherine. I will go with Nick and Warrick." She nodded in agreement. He hugged her after walking her to her car. "Be careful please." He whispered into her ear.

"I will." She whispered back.
