Greg was still smiling widely when he arrived at work half an hour later. "Hey Greggo." Greeted Nick Stokes, automatically pouring Greg a cup of coffee. "What's made you so happy then G? Your smile's wide enough to park my truck in!" The Texan was prone to teasing Greg, arguing that he was just so easy to tease and therefore an easy target. Greg was used to the teasing now, and took it in his stride.
Before Greg had chance to respond to the Texan's teasing, their supervisor Gil Grissom entered the break room. "Greg, I need to you to work tomorrow…" Greg did not wait to hear the rest of what Gil had to say before the words exploded from his mouth. "WHAT?! No, I can't, I have important plans for tomorrow night! I can't!" "I'm sorry Greg, you'll have to change them, I need you working." Grissom replied, ignoring the volume and ferocity in Greg's outburst, before turning on his heels and heading back to his office.
Nick walked over to where Greg was still staring at the spot where Grissom had been standing, and patted the younger man on the shoulder. "G, what's so important you can't change it man?" Greg sighed and hung his head. "I had a date, an important one, with this woman I've kinda been seeing. It's supposed to be our first date, I can't cancel on her, she won't want to see me. How can I get out of this Nick?" Greg sighed again as he turned to face Nick. "She's special huh?" Nick replied, noticing the defeated look on Greg's face. "She's just amazing!" Greg's face lit up as he began to talk about Faith. "She's smart, and funny, and she's so amazingly beautiful. And I can't just cancel on her!" "Ok," said Nick heading towards the door, "I'll talk to Grissom for you, see if I can't get him to change his mind, let you have the night off." And before Greg had chance to reply Nick had left the room.
