A/N: SOOOOO Sorry for not updating in i dont know how long, huge case of writers block, then when i was ready to post this a week ago, it turned out my computer deleted half of it, tried to redo from memory but it aint too good so its a bit short. Chapter 3 and 4 will be posted right after this to make up for the long wait! Enjoy!


"It's the personal assistant" Kelly handed him a file, his elimination process wasn't going very well.

"How so?"

"He was arrested for sexual assault three years ago, another woman who went to the seminar"

"Okay where do we find him?"

"Captain Brass, is it? Ya he's already picked him up, waiting in the interrogation room"

"After you"

Spending an hour with the accused finally got them an confession, but with some startling details. She wasn't the first he killed or the last, there had been three after her and a dozen or so before her. The woman he sent to the hospital, had been mistaken for dead.

"I want twenty-fours of undisturbed sleep" Kelly said coming off the elevator both Kelly and Greg walked to their hotel rooms, being ride beside each other, in 501 and 503.

"Do you feel like talking?" Greg drawled out slowly as he slid his keycard into its slot and back out again.

"Sure what about?" her eyes closed, she was falling asleep right there but she was willing to listen

"Sara"

"Which room?"

"I already got mine open" he pushed the door open, walking in. She barely shut the door when he started.

"I'm in love with her again"

"Does she know?" if she wasn't going to get any sleep she needed coffee

"No, I don't think so"

"Do you want anything?" she waved the room service menu. He shook his head no. After a quick call she had a large pot of coffee and pancakes coming up.

"Are you ready to forgive her or have you already?" Kelly stretched out on the double bed. Her stomach full, she was ready to hibernate

"That's something I was hoping you could help me out on"

"Really? How can I be of help?"

"How do you know if you've forgiven a person?" Kelly took a large sip of her coffee and thought well she swallowed.

"That's something I really don't have an answer too, every person forgives differently, some could forgive easily or forever hold a grudge, it really depends on the extent I guess but even then…" he motioned her to scoot over, she reluctantly did so.

"I think I'm over her, I really do but then.." he trailed off too

"You see her and everything changes"

"Exactly, how'd you guess?"

"Lucky that's all" he didn't ponder over statement for long but he knew that it had a deeper meaning than she was letting on.

"My opinion is that you need to be straight up with her, tell her it will take time but you are willing to start something see where it leads. Better to love and lost then not at all"

"So back to you and Nick"

"We were never on me and Nick, theres nothing to tell" she scooted of the bed, her steps making her closer to the door.

"I think there is"

"You thought wrong, we know each other that's it let it go" she opened the door slamming it behind her.


A coffee cup was placed in front of his downed head, it could have been anyone really, but he didn't care, he felt like shit. One person to blame.

"Why are you acting like puppy who's lost its master, you two weren't even together when we left"

"That's the point" Greg slowly raised his head and peeking into the coffee cup

"I hate to sound like a bitch but you better get your head on straight before your whole career goes down the tube, over one girl who didn't like you"

"But she likes me now"

"Then you should be happy not sitting here moping"

"I miss her"

"Big Deal, toughen up you've got work to do. It's only four weeks Greg" the female stormed out of the break room, he could see people getting out of her way, and he had to work with her. Great. But that's why she was like this, he wasn't pulling his half, she was right, was Sara really worth throwing his dream job away? He drank the coffee and still didn't have an answer to that when he left for home hours later.

Kelly was on her way to the DNA lab, samples in her hand, when the phone at her hip vibrated against her. She glanced down at the name and number. N Stokes.

"What the hell?" she muttered out loud before she answered

"What do you want?" she asked annoyed into the phone

"Is Greg coming back with you?"

"Why you got the hot's for him?"

"No, I go for women you know that"

"Don't remind me. Yes he is now will you tell me why please" she thought if she was nice he would tell her all she needed to hear, then she could hang up on him.

"Cause I think we have a case of two people troubled with the thought of people apart"

"Really who?"

"Greg and Sara" it was him who sounded annoyed this time

"What gave you that idea?"

"No one in the lab will go near Sara, she's a bitch"

"Well I have to admit that Greg has been moping a bit"

"And I'm sure you gave him some of your sweet charm"

"That I did, Nicky boy, would you like some of my sweet charm?" she said in a cheery happy voice, far opposite from what she was feeling

"No, I just called to see if Greg was coming with you that's all"

"Yes he is"

"Okay then, I guess I will see you in a few weeks then"

"Ya you will" a moment of silence passed before either said anything

"Nick?"

"Yes Kel?"

"It was good seeing you again"


He paced back and forth in apartment, could help but laugh when the last time he had down this, it was over her too. He really didn't know what to do. He could pick up the phone, call her, have a nice chat and soothe his rattled nerves or he could keep pacing. Picking up the phone, he dialed and waiting for a voice he just hoped she was home.
