Chapter Two: Greeting Grant

Grant saw a movement over Lindsay's head and saw a man quickly heading down the hall in the opposite direction. He couldn't be sure, but the man looked like he was in pain of some sort and Grant's medical training jump started. He decided he should check on the man- he could need medical attention.

"Hey Lind—" he started but was cut off as Lindsay noticed her boss, Mac, coming towards them.

"Grant, I want you to meet Mac, he's my boss- I've learned so much from him," she said as she dragged Grant forward to introduce him.

Mac gave a slight smile as he watched his newest CSI drag the 6'3" man forward like a pokey puppy on a leash.

"Hello Lindsay, who's our visitor today?" Mac asked, enjoying the happiness in Lindsay's eyes that had been missing over the past couple of weeks.

"Detective Mac Taylor, I'd like to introduce Doctor Grant Jamison. We grew up together and he's in town for…" Lindsay trailed off. "Actually," she admitted sheepishly, "I was so happy to see him; I don't think I asked him why he was here."

Both Mac and Grant had to laugh at the slightly embarrassed look on Lindsay's face.

Grant smiled and offered Mac his hand, "Pleased to meet you Detective Taylor, and I'm actually in the Big Apple for a medical conference this week."

Mac took his outstretched hand and returned the smile, "Please call me Mac, and I'm happy to meet you. A doctor huh? A face as pretty as yours usually ends up in cologne ads."

Grant threw his head back and laughed at the teasing. He'd been teased all his life about the model good looks he had, and he appreciated Mac's attempt to put him at ease and make him feel comfortable.

"Nah, the modeling agencies all said I was too ornery and never looked at the camera the right way," Grant tossed back.

This time it was Mac's turn to laugh, "The dark side of the modeling industry revealed- no ornery men allowed." Mac was curious, "So what kind of medicine do you practice?"

"I'm a pediatric oncologist, just finished my residency two years ago" Grant responded easily. "I'm here for a conference on new technologies, medications and methodologies to help improve white blood cell counts and hopefully prevent infection in my patients."

Mac liked the way Grant was straight forward about his career without sounding condescending or pompous, it made him like the guy, and to Mac Taylor first impressions meant a lot.

Lindsay stood next to Grant thrilled that he and Mac seemed to be getting along so well. She knew Grant was a stand-up guy, but she was glad that Mac seemed to recognize that fact as well, his opinion meant a lot to her.

"Alright you two, I have to go make a few phone calls, but Grant it was great to meet you and hope we get to run into each other again, and Lindsay feel free to give him a tour of all our facilities- if he's interested." Mac said, thinking again how happy Lindsay looked.

"Thanks Mac, I appreciate the offer and I'd definitely love to get an insider's tour. It was great meeting you too." Grant said as Mac moved towards his office door.

Mac went inside his office with a final smile and closed the door. He wondered about Grant and Lindsay; they seemed close, not in a lover's way- but in an almost family way. He shrugged- it wouldn't do to wonder too much about them since he figured Grant was only here for the duration of his medical conference

After the door to Mac's office closed, Grant glanced back down the hallway wondering what had happened to the man he'd seen almost doubled over heading towards the stairs. He hoped he was alright and that his problem wasn't serious. Oh well…there wasn't anything he could do for the man now.
