"It's gonna be a long night, huh? I brought you some coffee." An officer was standing in front of Greg, reaching out a coffee. A tall, handsome man with close-cropped black hair and brown eyes, he was new on the team.
"Thanks," Greg replied a little surprised, grabbing the coffee cup. It was rather unusual that the officers brought the CSIs coffee. It was a nice move, though, Greg thought.
"Already have an idea of what happened here?" the officer asked interested.
"Well..." Greg stood up. He had been crouching down to collect some evidence. "Looks like they entered here." He pointed at the window in the kitchen. "I'm just not sure that's how they left, too. They struggled with the father in the living room and then went up to the daughters bedrooms..."
The officer nodded. Both daughters had been raped and murdered, it was a rather disturbing case. "What about the mother?"
"Deceased a few years ago. The father remarried, though. We're trying to..."
"Greg, can you help me here?" Nick asked, entering from the living room.
"Sure." Greg walked over to him, sipping from his coffee.
"Hey, where did you get that from?" Nick asked, pointing at the cup.
"Officer Spencer. Didn't he bring you one, too?"
Nick laughed a bit. "Oh, I see."
"What?"
"Nothing," Nick replied amused.
"Come on, what is it?"
"Well it's just the way he was looking at you when you walked up to me."
Greg turned around to take a look at the officer, but he was gone already. "How did he look at me?"
Nick laughed. "I'll tell you when you're old enough to understand, kiddo."
"...Oh stop it, he's not... is he?"
Nick rolled his eyes laughing. "Come on now, I need a hand."
Greg was on his way back to the lab when right in the middle of one of those areas you don't want to be wandering alone, his car broke down. He tried to start the engine a few times to no avail. "Damn it, where did I put my cell phone?" Greg patted himself down, but he didn't have it in his pockets, where it usually was. He looked for it in the car, intending to call Nick and asking him to pick him up. It really wasn't the best place to let your car break down and losing your cell phone, he was getting a bit nervous. Not far from here was the bar Julian wanted to take Greg to. The bar where they got assaulted because of Julian. It was also near the alley where he got beat up a few years ago, it just didn't feel good to be there at night all by himself.
While looking for his cell in the back seat, he heard a car horn. He startled and ducked.
"Hey!" Greg heard from outside.
Slowly, he looked out of the window.
He sighed in relief. It was a police car.
"That's not the best place to park your car," the officer said with a smile on his face.
Greg laughed a bit. "My car broke down and I can't find my cell phone." Looking a bit closer at the officer, he recognized him. It was officer Spencer.
"Do you have any evidence in there?"
Greg nodded. "Could I borrow your phone to call Nick?"
Officer Spencer got out of his car. "No need to bug him. I'll give you a ride."
"...Really?" Greg asked relieved. He wasn't too fond of the idea of waiting here for Nick to pick him up. "Thanks."
They loaded the evidence into Spencer's car and got in. Greg used Spencer's phone to call someone to tow the car. When he put down the phone, he said, "Okay, let's get out of here."
"You know, in a neighborhood like that, they'll steal the auto parts."
"You think so?" Greg asked, looking at him.
He nodded. "Maybe you should wait for the towing service, or else it'll be your fault when the car gets stolen."
Greg sighed. "You're probably right..." He opened the door. "Well, thanks for letting me use your phone."
Officer Spencer grabbed Greg's arm. "Wait, where are you going?"
"Huh? In my car."
"No, no." Spencer smiled. "You don't have to, I'll wait with you. It's too dangerous for you to be alone out here, anyways."
Greg looked surprise. "Don't you have to go back to work?"
Spencer called his boss with his cell phone to explain the situation. "There, problem solved. They know I'm with you." He gave Greg a cute smile.
At first, Greg thought Spencer was genuinely nice. But then, he remembered what Nick said. Judging from how he just smiled at him, Greg thought Nick could be right.
"Well, thank you..." Greg said sheepishly.
"It wouldn't be fun waiting here all by yourself, right?" the officer replied.
Greg nodded.
"It's gotten quite cold, right?" The officer said, turning on the car heater. "Just above 30 degrees, I think. I didn't know Vegas could be so cold."
"Where are you from?"
"Michigan."
"So I guess that means you're used to the cold, right?"
"Oh yeah, it's the heat I need getting used to!"
They talked until the tow service showed up. After the car was towed, Spencer drove Greg back to the lab.
"Thanks for the company, officer Spencer." Greg got out of the car.
"Barry. Call me Barry, Greg." He smiled at him. "If you need anything anytime else, just let me know!"
"Hey, what took you so long?" Nick asked as Greg walked into the DNA lab.
He sighed. "My car broke down, I waited for the towing service to come." Greg explained that he waited with officer Spencer. Nick couldn't help but grin. "Shut up," Greg said with a smile. "He's a cool guy."
"Sure." Nick kept grinning.
