"Can I drive?" Greg asked as he followed Sara out to the lab parking lot.

"No." Sara replied, opening the back of the SVU and setting her kit in.

"I never get to drive." Greg complained, setting his kit in next to hers.

"And if you keep asking every time we get called out to a scene, you'll never get to." Sara said, smiling to offset her harsh words as they both got in the front seats.

"Control freak." Greg replied, buckling up.

As Sara pulled up to the amusement park and put the car in park, Greg jumped out and ran to the back of the car.

Sara laughed at his exuberance and unlocked the back as she extracted herself from the driver's seat. By the time she had made it to the back of the car to get her kit, Greg already had his and hers in his hands.

"Thanks," Sara said, making a move to grab her kit.

"No," Greg said. "I don't get to drive – that wounds my ego. A real man doesn't let the woman drive. So let me carry the kit. You just restocked it so it's heavy anyway!"

"Fine," Sara said, grinning. "But I'm still driving back to the lab!" Sara said, watching as Nick pulled up to the scene, got out of his car, and eyed Greg with two kits.

"Don't ask."

"I'm not saying a word." Nick said, smiling and shaking his head as the trio made their way towards Grissom behind the yellow tape.
