Summary: Greg Sanders, geeks of all geeks, desperately needs help getting someone's attention at the lab.
A/N: Kay. I'm glad you guys like this story. I thought it was pretty cute, if I don't say so myself. :D Ne ways, school's a pain in the... yeah.
"I'm tellin' ya man! She's got a thing for him."
"Oh no, dude. You should've seen the way they were staring at each other!"
"What makes you think this, exactly?" Catherine sat on top of Gil's lap and folded her hands on the desk in front of them.
"And exactly, how did you all meet?"
"He got lost."
"Yeah. And guess who volunteered to show him to the parking lot!"
"You guys weren't suppose to find out about us hiring someone until tomorrow."
"Why?"
"Well for one thing, it was a surprise. You guys have more members on the team and now you don't have to work as hard." Nick and Warrick gave each other high fives and smiled.
"I just wish he wasn't so..."
"Shy?"
"Yeah. I think she'd completely fall in love with him if he was..."
"Bolder?"
"Yeah. Who knows. I mean, we could have the next romance of the lab in our..."
"Posecession?" Nick looked back at Warrick and gave him a look. Catherine giggled and looked back at Gil.
"Aww. Honey, let's help!"
"Cath..."
"Oh come on! It'll be fun!"
"Playing cupid is not 'fun'. It takes skill and time and..."
"Patience?" They all looked at Warrick and shook their heads.
"Alright. So when do we start?"
"Well first of all, you're going to have to find out if they even like each other." Gil pointed out.
"Baby, that sounds so... high school! What you really need to find out is if they have the hots for each other." Gil let his head fall to her shoulder and he snorted.
"And you did such a great job of re phrasing that, my dear."
"Yeah well, being Catherine isn't a gift. It just comes to me."
"Well I'll talk to Sara..." Warrick started to back out of the office, noticing his shift was almost over.
"And I get Greg."
"And we get..." Gil and Catherine looked at each other and shrugged. "I guess we get to watch." Sara stood there with her mouth hanging wide open. She backed away from the door as she noticed it slowly open. She began walking down the hall when Nick saw her and called out her name. He winked at Warrick before catching up with her.
"Hey. Sar. What's up?"
"Ugh... nothing. Just going give some swabs to the lab before I go home. Why?"
"Ah just wondering..." As they reached the DNA office, Nick spoke up. "So ah... what do you think of our new DNA guy?"
"Greg?" He nodded his head and bit his lip. She could've told the truth. She could've told Nick that he was alright and that she was looking forward to working with him, but she wanted to see her co-worker's attempts to try and get them together. She sweetly smiled. "He's um... he's something, huh?" Only problem was, she didn't think too much of him. She respected him as a co-worker and as a new friend, but nothing more. There was nothing wrong with him, to her... he just didn't seem her type of guy.
"Ye-Yeah! Totally. So... you, like him?"
"Sure. He's kinda cute... for a DNA technician." He watched as she walked off into the office and talked with the dayshift DNA technician. He practically ran back to the locker room where he found Warrick hanging up his jacket and taking out his keys.
"Oh dude. She's totally got something for him."
"Ha ha! I knew it!"
---- The next day (or night, really) ----
Gil and Catherine both walked into the break room to see everyone but Greg sitting at the table.
"Ugh... where's Gre-" He came running through the door and grabbed a hold of the wall to catch his breath.
"I am... so sorry. Traffic... was horrible."
"Greg? It's 6:45... you're not even close to being late." He looked down at his watch and blushed.
"Oh. Well... yeah."
"Okay. So... Catherine and I have the Legnon case. Nick, Warrick... you two are still wrapping up yours, correct?" They nodded their heads. "And... that leaves us with Sara. You have a break in at Jewelry store on the strip. Take Greg with you. Teach him the basics."
"But sir. I'm a DNA technician. Does that really require skills out on the field?"
"Well when we're short handed, it comes in handy to know a little about what you're doing." Gil and Cath walked out of the room and headed back to his office. He opened the door for her and smirked when she turned to him.
"You are so evil."
"What!"
"You didn't need to send him out there with her!"
"I thought it would be a good idea if he got to know a little about what he's getting into."
"Bull. You thought it would be a good idea to get in on the matchmaking ahead of time, didn't you?"
"You have no evidence to support-" She held up his personal planner and smirked. She turned through the pages and stopped at the day's date.
"Number one on, 'My list of things to do: Pair Sara and Greg on the same case.' Yeah. Coincidence? I think not." He gasped and pointed to the planner.
"That's not mine! Someone framed me!"
A/N: Sorry if I made any grammar mistakes. I've been teaching my sister to play the flute since she wants to copy off of me and join band. LOL So yeah. Two flutes in the family. Whoop whoop!
