Grissom was chopping vegetables in his kitchen whilst Adam was reading the paper. Adam had gone back to his fathers after work to talk about the day and some other things. Despite what some people thought (Catherine) Gil Grissom had a good relationship with his son. Looking up he asked Adam,
"How is Rex?"
"He's good, had a work dinner tonight, a whole 'welcome and we will pretend we care about you' thing. He hates those."
"Smart man." Grissom replied chuckling, now frying onions.
"Remember, I'm a vegetarian." Adam warned looking at his father.
"I know, I know. So is Sara, now." He added as an afterthought.
"Really? That's good."
"No, no it's not. We worked a case together and it put her off meat. I didn't remember and she almost quite."
"Man, you really stuffed things up didn't you?" Adam all but stated pouring himself another glass of wine.
"Yeah, well, it's not really my fault, she didn't tell me about it." Grissom tried defending himself…Adam just looked at him.
"Sorry about how the team acted tonight." Grissom said as they where finishing their meal.
"That's fine. Sara warned me, she also told me a bit about everyone."
"Oh, what did she say?" Grissom asked trying to sound only mildly interested.
"Nothing much, just this and that," Adam looked at his father, "nothing bad about you, per se, just that you never work together any more." Grissom looked uncomfortably at his hands as Adam continued, "you really need to fix things with her dad. She can't last much longer." At Grissom's panicked look he continued, "she didn't say anything specific, but you can tell."
"Great, now what do I do."
"Ask her out."
"Rhetorical question Adam." Grissom shot out with a glare.
Adam grinned, "I know."
"By the way," he looked up at his father's serious tone. "Catherine will try to be nice to you next shift and ask about your past. I don't mind what you tell them, but if they give you any trouble…anyway, just be prepared."
"I already am dad."
