Mark left the lab and headed towards the hospital. He felt the need to go see Greg. Mark walks in Greg's room and finds Greg mindlessly flipping through the channels on the TV.

Mark says, "Tell me about it the TV in this place is horrible."

Greg sits up and says, "I'm starting to think it's better in prison."

Mark sits down and says, "Might be, but I don't think I want to try that one out."

Greg laughs and asks, "What are you doing back here?"

Mark pats Greg's arm and replies, "I just thought you might need some company."

Greg looks at Mark and says, "There's something else on your mind I can tell."

Mark responds, "Well I did want to tell you something before you heard it through the grapevine. Catherine and I are dating. We got together the night before I started work and we didn't know who each other were until the next night when I was introduced to you all. Catherine and I told Grissom and the team tonight."

Greg smiles and says, "I thought there might have been something going on between you two when I was helping you move. I swore there was an extended time you two were in your bedroom."

Mark sheepishly looks at Greg and says, "There may have been a make out session going on."

Greg laughs at Mark slapping him on the arm and responds with, "You are the man!"

Mark asks, "Have they said how long you might be in here?"

Greg says, "Probably another day or two. They are still really concerned with how long I was unconscious."

Mark nods and asks, "Do you remember anything?"

Greg says, "I remember right up to the point where we were thrown from the building. Beyond that I remember nothing until waking up."

Mark joking responds, "Well nothing much exciting happened during that time anyways."

Mark and Greg watch TV for about an hour until Mark notices Greg drifting in and out of sleep. Mark gets up and says, "Buddy I'm going to get out of here and let you get some rest. Call me if you need something."

Greg says, "Mark call me if you need to talk as well. I've been through situations like this before in the beginning you think you're fine until you're left alone to play moments in your head over and over."

Mark smiles at Greg and leaves.

Mark walks to the parking lot at the hospital and dials Kerri and says, "Hey I'm going pick up pizza on the way home, what do you guys want?"

Kerri answers, "Pepperoni is fine."

Mark says, "Alright I'll be there as soon as I can."

About 45 minutes later Mark shows up with the pizza. He walks into the apartment and sets in on the counter. Kerri and Elizabeth immediately hug him for almost 5 minutes.

Mark asks, "Hey what's up?"

Kerri says, "Duh you were almost blown to smithereens. You can act like you were a little scared you know?"

Elizabeth interjects, "Yeah man no one would think any less of you."

Mark says, "Yeah I know. I swear I'm fine right now. I'm really tired but other than that I feel ok."

Kerri passes out plates to everyone as they each take slices of pizza.

Kerri asks, "Ok how did it go at work telling everyone?"

Mark responds, "Really well everyone seems really supportive. We will continue to work together as long as it doesn't affect our work."

Elizabeth asks, "Is Catherine at work?"

Mark says, "She's still on the duty of looking after me. It was a slow night so Bossman said he'd call if he needed her. Lindsey got home from Disneyland today, so she went to her sister's to get her. She asked me to join them, but I said I wanted to spend some more time with you two before you left. Also, I told her that she and Lindsey needed some mother daughter time, I'm sure Lindsey will see enough of me soon and start to get sick of me."

Kerri asks, "Is she going to tell Lindsey that you two are dating?"

Mark replies, "We talked about it and decided to tell her together. Oh I got a hold of Bobby today, there's going to be some kind of practice tomorrow and then the main event on Tuesday."

Kerri asks, "Do you know where it is yet?"

Mark shakes his head and responds, "No he just said he'd get in touch with me tomorrow. I need to check out my guitar before practice."

About an hour later Mark announces that he is retiring to his bedroom. He closes the door and finds his guitar. He doesn't bother to hook it up to the amp and starts to tune it. Once it seems to be where he wants it he plays a few chords and starts playing Love and Affection by Nelson.

Here she comes, just like an angel
Seems like forever that she's been on my mind
But nothing has changed
She thinks I'm a waste of her time

There she goes, she don't know what she's missing
Can't she see I'll never give up the fight
I'll do all I can till she understands my desire

I've been on the outside looking in
Let me into your heart - oh
There's nothing on earth that
Should keep us apart, baby

I can't live without your love and affection
I can't face another night on my own
I'd give up my pride to same me from being alone
'Cause I can't live without your love
Mmmm, your love

So I wait, here for an answer
And wonder if tomorrow will be like yesterday
I'll keep holding on
Can't go on living this way, baby

I've been on the outside looking in
Bring these tears to an end, oh
I realize it's no use for me to pretend
Oh yeah

I can't live without your love and affection
I can't face another night on my own
I'd give up my pride to save me from being alone
'Cause I can't live without your love

For your love, I'd put my arms around you
For your love, I'd find the strength to tell you
For your love, that I can't live without your

I can't live without your love and affection
I can't face another night on my own
I'd give up my pride to same me from being alone
'Cause I can't live without your love

I can't live without your love and affection
I just can't go on this way anymore
As hard as I try there's one thing that I know for sure
I can't live without your love

There she goes
I can't live without your love, baby
There she goes
I can't live without your love

Mark puts the guitar down smiling thinking how good that felt. This band get together might go pretty well, besides Catherine said she thought it'd be pretty hot. Mark grabs his phone and calls Catherine.

Mark says, "Hey Cath, getting ready to go to bed and wanted to tell you good night."

Catherine says, "Well good night. Before I let you go, are you ok? I just want to make sure a big thing happened to you yesterday."

Mark says, "At the moment, yes. By the way I stopped by to see Greg on my way home and he knows. I didn't want him to find out from someone besides one of us."

Catherine asks, "Was he as supportive as everyone else?"

Mark a little shocked says, "Of course."

Catherine says, "Well I'm going to let you sleep can't wait for your big show, night."

Mark says, "Night." He hangs up the phone and drifts off to sleep.
