"Explain to me again why this needed the entire team," said Sara plonking her kit down and staring at the body in front of her.
"Come on Gris it's hardly a triple at the Palms what's with the body count?" asked Nick
"Something political"
"Did Ecklie start talking politics and you zoned out?" asked Cath looking slightly pissed at Grissom
"I did not zone out" replied Grissom then looking sheepish added "I just didn't realise what I was agreeing too"
"So you can't do politics and now were all in the middle of nowhere with one body, one bullet wound"
"And a lot of bullet holes" Greg finished for Sara
"Maybe there's a bamboo stick on the roof" said Sara getting a smile from Warrick but confused looks from everyone else
"It's a private joke," explained Warrick
"He only looks about eighteen at most my guess kids messing about with their parents guns accidentally…" Nick mimed shooting "and everyone ran" he finished getting a raised eyebrow from Grissom
"What evidence are you interrupting there Nick?"
"The kind that gets us back in time for the party" said Catherine sighing "well we're going to need a lot of rods" she said running a hand along the walls various bullet holes
"HEY there's a actual padded room next door," shouted Greg slightly excitedly coming back into the small box like room where the group were assembled stood around a mess of cartridge casings.
"Here" said Cath not returning his excitement but handing him a pile of bright green rods.
Half an hour later and Greg pace the last rod in the hallway outside "two fat ladies eighty-eight" amounted Greg walking back into the room. Grissom was hunched over the body while Sara and Warrick were stacking up evidence bags as Catherine walked in carrying a gun on a bag.
"Three different casings" said Warrick heaping the bags into Sara's arms
"One gun with serial number" added Cath placing it onto of the pile now reaching Sara's neck
"Ok I'm not a donkey," said Sara trying not to drop everything
"My theories starting to look good now" smiled Nick coming back in carrying a wad of papers "four different shoe prints one belong to the vic others around six all look like trainers"
"Minors" Cath finished Nick's speech making him look disappointed.
"They still left the scene from the amount of blood I'd say he was still alive when they left" said Grissom standing up
"So where's the coroner so we can get back to he party?" asked Greg
"Running late" replied Grissom
"So were all got to stay here?" asked Greg picking up a bag Sara had dropped as she struggled to balance them all
"No, one of us has to stay," said Grissom all eyes turning on Greg
"Hey hang on we should draw straws of something"
"Ok" with that Cath snapped a bullet rod in half then picked up five more and placed them all in a bag
"Close your eyes and pick one" she ordered holding he bag out at Warrick
"Fine" with that he picked a long one
"Sara" Cath held the bag in from of her to which Sara rolled her eye's indicating her arms were full
"All right Greg" he stuck his arm in and produced the snapped rod
"Oh that's not fair Sara might have picked it. Re match" cried Greg as Sara grinned at him
"Sorry Greg" smiled Nick patting him on the back
"I always lose," mumbled Greg following everyone out to the car
"Come to wave us off" smiled Cath as Sara dropped all the bags into the trunk
"It's a good job he's not coming I don't think he'd fit in" said Nick piling the boxes onto the back seat.
"Bye Greggo" smiled Sara getting in the back. Grissom turned the ignition to a spluttering and then nothing
"COME ON" shouted Sara physical assaulting the car with her kit as the engine spluttered losing al life
"Calm down Sara or I'll have you arrested for assault," warned Greg as Sara angrily slammed the hood down making the car bounced and Cath hold onto the dash board as Grissom turned the ignition off.
"I think we've got another for autopsy" said Nick smiling at Sara who was not returning it.
"We're stuck," she shouted at Nick who was holding his hands up in defence "Greg lost he should be the one stuck waiting for the coroner for a left not all of us!" rambled Sara
"You done?" asked Cath getting out the car
"Yes"-replied Sara sighing
"Good because I am not travelling in the back of the coroners van with the body," said Cath turning to Grissom who was rubbing his temples
"Well you can wit for the tow truck" he replied dialling is phone
"Oh no way, that will be hours I'm sitting up front not with the body. You can argue amongst yourself as to who goes where"
"Hang on that's not fair" started Greg
"One word about PMS Greg and there will be another body" warned Catherine keeping Greg quiet.
The silence lasted for nearly a whole minute until Greg interrupted
"The group were stranded alone in the middle of no where with a body…" stared Greg getting glares form everyone "when the body moved diving forwards and killing the nearest member" he shouted dramatically grabbing Warrick and acting as if he was strangling him.
"No more coffee for you Greggo" said Sara with a half smile.
"Well I'm going back inside instead of standing out here. I'm off the clock and I'm sure I saw a vending machine in there, might still have some food"
"Greg it's probably all out of date"
"So there may be chocolate," said Greg smiling at Cath who simply shrugged
"Well there's no point in standing around may as well be comfy," she said following Greg
"Nick you up for a game" asked Warrick producing a balled up piece of paper from his kit and tossing it to him. Nick caught it and hit it back at Warrick moved to dodge it
"Dodge ball?" questioned Sara
"What's the longest you've waited for the coroner?" asked Warrick
"About five hours"
"And you did what?"
"She started using florescent powder and worrying about her appearance," said Catherine smiling and waiting for someone else to come inside so she wasn't stuck with Greg.
"I did not worry about my appearance! I wanted a mirror to look at the body. At least I didn't have to have chocolate tot shut me up," added Sara heading inside with Cath to find where Greg had gone.
Grissom was left stood alone talking on his phone watching the situation as Nick threw the wad of paper at Warrick who ducked it going inside and discovered that the approximate six hour wait for the tow truck as going to be along one.
