Greg's POV
Morgan is probably my best friend except for Nick but he's more like my older brother if I'm being honest. As much as everyone thinks I'm madly in love with her I'm not. I like her as a friend and a work colleague and nothing more. She even told me the other day that she feels the same way and even if I did have feelings for her I couldn't do anything about it because she's made it clear she doesn't date people she works with. "Greggo, you ever gonna tell Morgan you love her?" Nick asked me when I sat down next to him in the break room while we waited on Catherine to hand out the nights cases. "Nick, how many times do I have to tell you that I don't love Morgan? She's my best friend and work colleague that's all." "Enough that I know you're in denial because she told us she doesn't date people she works with." "Could you be anymore like a 7 year old?" "Fine but this isn't over and you know it." "Hey Nicky! What's up? Did Greg finally give in and admit he's in love with Morgan?" "No, Sara! I have no feelings for her." "Okay if you say so, but if it changes your mind she only said she doesn't date coworkers because she didn't want anyone else to ask her out but she looked directly at you when she told everyone that. She also gets distracted when she happens to notice you walking down the hall and she just drools over you when that happens." "Seriously stop it." "Fine, fine but when you finally realize it remember we told you so." Catherine walked in and smiled at Nick and he winked at her while everyone but Morgan who still hadn't showed up, totally knew something was up between the two of them. "Anybody seen Morgan today?" "No. Did she not call in sick or anything?" "No. She never showed up." "Do you want me to head over to her place to check on her?" "Yeah, Nick and I will meet you there before we head to our scene. Sara you have a body in a public pool. Take Sean Nolan from day shift with you." "Really?" Sara sulked off to find Nolan and I headed straight to my Denali as I had already put my kit and my vest and everything else I might need in there when I got there that evening. I barely managed to keep from breaking the speed limit on the way to her place. When I got there I noticed her car was there. I parked put my bullet proof vest on and my shirt over that and my CSI vest on over my shirt. I called her cell phone and she answered. "Greg, please help me!" "Morgan! What's wrong? What happened?" "Someone broke into my house last night please come help me." "I'm right outside your house. I'm coming in right now." "Thank you Greggo. Please call an ambulance." "Already did M." I kept her on the line as I walked through her front door and followed the trail of blood to her bedroom only to find a passed out Morgan lying in a pool of her own blood in the middle of the floor without clothes on. "Oh God Morgan. What happened?' "He tried to rape me but I managed to fight him off and he beat me and then left. I thought he was going to kill me Greg." "Who is he?" "I don't know Greg. I don't know. I should've tried to get a good look at his face. I scratched him though. Wait he had a weird nose, almost like a pigs nose from a Halloween costume." "Oh my God Morgan! He was one of the people who beat me up when I had just become a CSI." "What?" "We had a case where this group of twenty somethings in college went around fannysmacking or beating up tourists. I had just gotten back from my first time in court when Catherine sent me out to a scene solo. When I got there they were beating up this guy and I knew I didn't have time to wait for back up so I honked the horn and turned my flashers on and drove toward them. One of them Demetrius James didn't run away like the rest of them. He ran over and picked up a rock and acted like he was going to finish the victim off but then he turned and started coming toward me and I accelerated and ended up killing him. Anyway they all came back and pulled me out of my Denali and beat the living crap out of me. My eyes were swollen shut and my nose was broken they beat me up so bad but they stupidly left evidence behind on me and on my car and they were caught almost immediately after that. The guy that did this to you his name is Cole Trent. He wore a pig nose when they went out to beat people up. One guy actually died. They called Cole Trent Pig." "Greg, what if he comes back?" "He won't M. If he does I'll protect you. I promise. Plus Nick and Catherine should be here soon. They probably stopped for a quickie on their way here. You missed her smiling at him when she walked in for briefing and him winking at her." "Greg, my stomach hurts really bad. Ahhhhhhhh!" "Oh my God! You're bleeding! Did he stab you?" "Y-yes. I think so." All of a sudden her eyes rolled back into her head and she started seizing. I rolled her on to her side and held her there until the ambulance finally arrived following Nick and Catherine. "What's her name?" "Morgan Brody, she's 26 and she has been beaten severely, stabbed, and almost raped." "Who's riding with her to the hospital?" The EMT asked. "I will." I said I left my stuff in the floor and grabbed my cell phone out of the floor and hopped up in the back of the ambulance.
