6 Months later
Greg limped through the hall of the crime lab. He yawned and walked into the lounge. He had been back a month. He was stuck in the lab banned from going out into the field by the surgeon and doctors who had removed the bullet.
Greg grinned as he watched Nick and Catherine walk past. They looked into the lounge and grinned back. They walked in.
"Hey Greg, how's the leg?" Nick asked. Greg nodded.
"Yeah, I'm alright." Catherine frowned. She noticed how tired Greg looked, well more tired then usual, Greg saw Catherine looking at him and he quickly looked down.
"Greg, when was the last time you had a good sleep?" She asked all motherly. Nick looked at Catherine and back at Greg.
'She has a point. He's looked tired and he hasn't been himself since….' Nick thought. He stopped himself, unable to face what that person had done to Greg.
Greg closed his eyes when Catherine asked him. It's true; he hadn't slept properly for a good few months. His leg was fine, but it was the nightmares.
Greg looked back up and grinned.
"I went partying last night, you know up late." Greg joked. Catherine frowned. Greg sighed.
"My leg kept me up." He lied. Catherine looked concerned.
"Maybe you should go back and see Dr. what's-his-name." Catherine said. Greg and Nick started laughing.
Grissom walked in and stopped and smiled as he watched Nick fall over and laughing so hard, he had tears rolling down his cheeks.
Catherine looked at him, surprised.
"What was so funny?" She asked. Greg stopped laughing and smiled at her.
"He is the doctor you've been to for years and you can't remember his name. He asked you out!" Greg explained. Catherine eyes opened wide.
"Ohhh him!" She gasped surprised.
Nick had stopped laughing so much and was started to stand up, but when Catherine said that he fell down again.
Grissom shook his head.
"Nick?" He asked. Nick's head shot up and he bounced up.
"Yeah Grissom?" He asked innocently.
"Play nice." Grissom said as he made coffee. He offered up. Nick shook his head, hiccupping, and Greg and Catherine accepted. Grissom passed a mug to Catherine and walked over and sat next to Greg, passing him his mug.
Greg drank the coffee slowly.
A phone started to ring.
Greg grimaced and pulled his new phone out of his pocket.
"Hello?" Greg answered.
No answer.
"Hello?"
"Hello?" Greg shrugged and hung up.
Grissom, Nick and Catherine looked at each other.
"Who was it?" Grissom asked slowly.
Greg shrugged.
"Dunno, they don't say anything." Grissom frowned.
"Have you gotten anymore of these calls?" He asked concerned. Greg nodded and looked over at Grissom quickly.
"Yeah, every Tuesday since I got my new phone," Greg said. He saw the look on Grissom's face.
"What are you thinking?" Greg asked shakily.
"Mickel." Grissom muttered. Greg shook his head frantically.
"N-no." He stuttered. Grissom stared at Greg, he had paled considerably.
Grissom put a hand on Greg's shoulder and squeezed.
"Greg, we're not going to let him get to you." Greg looked at the floor and shook his head.
"You heard him, you saw the letter, and he isn't done with me." Greg whispered extremely quiet.
Something clicked with Catherine.
"Your leg's fine isn't it? It's the nightmares?" She asked. Greg looked up and back down. He nodded slowly.
Grissom sighed and shook his head.
"Why didn't you tell us Greg?" Nick whispered.
Greg looked up, his eyes blazing.
"Why?! Because none of you were there! YOU don't understand, or remember what I do…" Greg faltered. He looked down, his face burning. Ashamed.
Catherine sat down on the other side of Greg and grabbed his hand. Greg looked up at her. Catherine hugged him tightly.
"Whatever it is you need to tell us Greg, we're here for you." Catherine whispered.
Nick nodded in agreement.
"We don't know what you went through, but we aren't going to let you go through it again." Nick said. Greg looked up at his and nodded, a slight smile on his face.
Warrick walked in and stopped.
"I'm not interrupting anything am I?" He asked grinning, his eyes lit up.
Grissom looked at him and shook his head.
"What is it Warrick?" He asked. Warrick threw a case file to him, Nick and threw Catherine's onto the table. They all caught it and opened it.
Nick frowned.
"Armed Robbery. You Gris?" Nick asked. Grissom flicked through the pages.
"B and E." Catherine let go of Greg and opened her file.
"Wow. Murder, a wife killed her husband because he snored, that's a new one."
Greg laughed slightly and looked with envy as they walked out of the room. Nick looked back at Greg and stopped Grissom. He whispered something in his ear. Grissom nodded.
"Just make sure he doesn't hurt himself. And look after him; don't let him out of your sight. " He warned and walked off. Greg looked at Nick puzzled. Nick sighed.
"You comin or what Greggo?" Nick asked. Greg grinned and stood up and followed Nick to his Tahoe.

Mickel watched them drive off and turned on his car and silently followed them.
'At last, after 6 months, a chance to grab Greg.' Mickel thought happily as he followed them.
Mickel glanced at the passengers seat.
Shot gun, balaclava, cable ties, rope and duct tape. Mickel smiled.
'All set.'
