A/N: We know, it's been decades since the last time we updated, and we're sorry for that...

We just want to dedicate this chapter to all those who have been there for us during this year of changes.

And to you, welcome to the family (L).

Hope you all like and we apologize ...

Wonderwall 4

Catherine found herself at her new place in New York, just arriving after a long shift at her new lab. The fact that she and Warrick had been given different shifts wasn't helping them at all, but they were completely decided to make their relationship work.

She dropped her purse and jacket on the couch, letting herself fall on it; she could really use some rest. Suddenly, Warrick got out of the bedroom, looking pretty tired himself, and sat next to her.

"How was your day?" he asked sweetly.

"What do you want me to say? It's absolutely exhausting, I can't believe we used to complain about Grissom," she said letting out a long sigh as she took his hand in hers.

"I know, I missed those times as well, but we have to get used to this if we really want to stay in New York." She stared at the floor without answering right away. She was thinking about something else.

"You have something on your mind. I know that look," Warrick said with a smile on his face. After almost a year dating her, he was capable of identifying almost every expression on her face.

"I do. I think we should call the team, you know. We haven't talked to them for a while now, and I'd love to hear from them." They looked at each other, until Warrick gave her a short kiss and stood up to reach the phone.

"You mean, now?" She opened her eyes widely as her boyfriend gave her the phone.

"Well, we don't know their schedules yet, but we could at least ask them when we can call them, or get all together," he said in his most comprehensive tone. She bit her lip. It was a hard call for her, talking to them after so long.

"Ok, who should I call first?" They stared at each other for a while, trying to decide who of them should be the first one. After a few minutes, they spoke at the same time. "Grissom".

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After almost one hour and a half talking to their ex-supervisor, they hang up, deciding that they'd meet up in a week in a restaurant of NY, since Grissom would be staying there for almost a month, giving around 6 seminars about entomology. He was now dedicating himself to this, and he sounded very satisfied about it when he talked to the couple. He had found his second favorite job, and his second passion.

But as happy as he thought he was with his new job, Grissom had found someone on his way to the University who he'd have never expected; Greg. Actually it turned out to be a very pleasant moment for both of them, since Greg was as glad to see him as Grissom was himself. They talked for a while, and Greg told him that he had met with Sara the day before for lunch, that they had been hanging out lately, and that he was also keeping in touch with Nick.

When they had finally said goodbye, Grissom found himself staring at his ex-CSI, while he was processing a routine scene, with two more people, whom Grissom didn't know. It caused a strange feeling in him, not seeing Greg around his usual co-workers. Thoughts started to make a mess in his head as he realized he was late for his class; so he just turned around and got in his vehicle once again, giving his ex–CSI one last look.
