Hiya people, so I was going to do a quick run down of the characters in CSI for the people who don't watch it, but, as always, I had too much to say. So, I've decided to introduce a little about them as they come up in the story. Thanks. Enjoy.

And so comes the story.

The words had been said in unconscious thought, and it shocked even himself to think them. He fell into silence as his friend's laughter, seemed to rise higher than the rest of the air port's crowd together.

"What's so funny?" Lily turned sporting Scotty's bag.

Taking it and pounding it into Scotties chest, the younger man answered. "He's only gone and mage THE biggest mistake of his life."

"Left your wallet Scotty? " She humoured him.

Scotty opened his mouth to answer, but as usual, Greg's hyperactive nature kicked in first.

"No he hasn't, but, mind you, he has done something of equal, or should I say more, stupidity." He smirked.

"Just ignore him Lil'. He dun't know what he's talkin' 'bout."

"Tell me Lily, what would you do if you were in love?" He drew out the last syllable.

"Erm…I'm not really one to ask about that sort of thing. Why, you , uh, found someone Scotty?"

Her eyes were shining, yet whether it was through excitement, Greg could not guess. However, the deeper he searched, he swore he saw pain. He recognised that pain. Sara held it on more than one occasion. If he hadn't known what to look for in Sara, he would never have seen it here. Both women had learned to hide this weakness well. Truth be told, he was no expert, but Sara was like his teacher, he learned everything from her. If she said that was where to find something, it always seemed to be right. Maybe she had taught him too well, because he found it in the one person he wasn't taught to-her.

"No, it's just Greg. He's a basket case. Right Greg?" He sounded confident, yet as he looked toward Greg, he seemed almost hopeful.

"That's me." He laughed. "But it doesn't change the fact that you act like you are." And you don't even know it.

"Sorry Greg, but I don't bent that way."

"Shot down again." He mocked clutching an arrow in his heart. Maybe I need more help for this. Catherine's always up for interfering.

Lily, confused by the warped atmosphere, gave up. Clutching her bag, she barely held it for a second, before the eccentric man took it from her.

"My car's this way." Not even an explanation for the bag snatch.

"Is he always like this?"

"Pretty much. At least you'll never get board." Scotty quipped.

"Hey. I hope you're not talking about me."

"Now why would we waste our time doing that?" Scotty seemed so much more relaxed here.

"Wow twice in one day, must be a new record." The ease at communication baffled her. He hadn't been this way in a long time.

"What can I say? You bring out the worst in me." He laughed.

"And he's upped it to three." He sang, then as an afterthought added. "Hey, I know you've had a long flight and everything, but graveyard's going to get wasted after shift. You know, being party animals we are." He winked at Lily. "You up for it?"

"Sure." Scotty chimed before Lily could decline. Are they planning something?

"I don't know if-" She started.

"It'll be a great way to get to know each other." Turning to Lily, to clarify his thought, he whispered, "Again."

Until next chapter.

I've still got tons of work to get through but I really can't leave this alone. Damn my concentration. Lol. I'll probably do more tomorrow. I feel really guilty for not writing for a while. :'( Forgive me? Anyway. Gotta get cracking on that next chapter…(BTW - remember the revenge Scotty had for Lily?)
