Brooke and Criss have been dating for about 3 months, she still works as a CSI and Greg is over her now that the newest CSI Ronnie Lake has joined the team. Brooke works alot and hardly ever gets to go out with Criss at night but she talks to him during all her break. Brooke's met his family and they love her. J.D, Costa and her spend most of their time making fun of Criss but he's pretty good about it. So lets gt this started...
Brooke woke up to the sound of her alarm; it was 5:00pm and she had to get ready for work.
She was still living at the Luxor, but only for another week until she moved into her Clark County home. She didnt want to move she loved living right next to Criss, but she needed to be closer to work.
Brooke jumped out of bed and into the shower, once she got out she did her hair in loose big curls, she wore dark jeans with a rhinestone G on the pockets that stood for Guess and a silky zebra print tank top and black pumps.
Criss wasnt home he was out trying to get a permit to go over the Niagara falls in a barrel. She headed off to work, there wasnt much going on tonight a stabbed teen found in a dumpster behind fremont and a unknown DB by Lake Mead. The only people working tonight were Brooke, Greg, Catherine, Ronnie, Warrick and Grissom. Greg, Cath and Brooke took Lake Mead.
As Brooke was driving Greg of course started a conversation about Criss or who he called "Magic Boy".
"So I heard magic boy walked on Lake Mead?" Greg said as he poked his head through the two front seats of Brooke's Escalade.
"Yah what about it?" she said as Catherine pushed his face away.
"Nothing just wondering..." Greg said as he layed back.
They went to the scene, collected evidence tooke pictures and went back to the lab.
Warrick, Ronnie and Grissom were already back and sitting in the break room. Brooke and Catherine pulled out chairs and sat down while Greg plopped on the couch beside Ronnie and smiled.
Ronnie got up to go to an autotopsy with Grissom.
"I give it a week" Warrick said smiling.
Of course Greg gad no idea what he was talking about but Brooke and Catherine knew exactly what he was talking about. Warrick thought it would take a week at least before Ronnie agreed to go out with Greg.
"Give what a week?" Greg looked at Warrick suspiciously
"You know you and Ronnie, seriously we all know you like her so just go for it man" Warrick slouched in his chair
"Yah just go for it already" Brooke piped up and Catherine smiled
"Fine then I will..." Greg stood up and walked towards the DNA lab where Ronnie was talking to Wendy.
"Is he seriously going to do it?" Brooke looked over to the lab.
" I dont know but knowing Greg he probably will" Catherine looked over smiling
"Hey Ronnie, can I talk to you for a second?" Greg stood with his hands in his pockets
"Uh, yah sure" Ronnie said as she turned around to look at Greg
Greg shot wendy one of those "I-want-to-talk-to-her-privatley" look.
"Um, I have to go get some stuff frm the supply room" Wendy walked away towards the break room.
"I thought she had to go to the supply room?" Ronnie looked at Wendy walking away.
Greg and Ronnie kept talking while Wedny sat down in the break room.
"Anyone wanna tell me what Gregs doing?" Wendy asked as she looked around the table.
"He's asking Ronnie out" Warrick said looking at Wendy, none knew it but Warrick had a huge thing for Wendy.
"Seriously?" she looked over at Brooke and Catherine
"Yup" they both replied at the same time
All four of them looked over through the glass walls and at Greg. He was walking back and had the biggest smile on his face, like a child on Christmas morning.
"So, I'm guessing it went well?" Brooke smiled at him
"Mhm" Greg plopped on the couch still smiling
"So, speaking of dates wheres your romeo Brooke?" Warrick smiled at her
"Yah, when do we get to meet him?" Catherine piped up
"He's in new York, and i dont know I guess when ever you want to meet him it doesn't really matter when..." she trailed off
"Well I defiantly want to meet him soon you should bring him by one night" Catherine sat back in her chair
"Why's he in New York?" Greg asked looking suspicious
"He's in Buffalo or something trying to get a permit to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel" she kept a serious face
Greg and Warrick looked shocked.
"You serious?" Catherine looked at her
"Yah" still being serious she could tell they thought she was joking.
Brooke looked around.
"What?" she said with a light giggle
"Whens he getting back from Buffalo?" Catherine wondered
"Tonight, actually he should be back soon" Brooke took a sip out of her water bottle
"Get him to come in!" Catherine exclaimed
"I'll call him later and see if he's home" Just then Brooke's cell rang she grabbed it off the table and saw that it was Criss.
"Hello" Brooke said smiling
Warrick and Catherine both left the room, to go check on some DNA from their cases and Greg left to go talk to Ronnie. Wendy went back to process some DNA.
"Hey babe, I'm on my way home but i wanted to stop and see you" Criss said although the noise in the airport was loud enogh that she could hardly hear him.
"What?" she turned the volume up louder
"I'm coming to see you at work" Criss yelled into the phone. The phone went quieter, Criss went outside the airport waiting for his car.
"Oh, okay I was going to ask you to come in anyways" Brooke smiled
"Let me guess, everyone wants to meet me" Criss starting laughing quietly on the other end
"Actually yah, but i have to go love you" she saw Catherine walk in the room
"Love you too" he hung up
Catherine walked in and sat down next to her neice.
"So looks like its just you and me everyone else is out on the field, so I guess its just me meeting him"
Catherine smiled at Brooke who was then texting her best friend Kim Kardashian. They grew up as neighbours in Beverly Hills and have been inseprable since they were 7 but with Brooke moving around so much they hardly ever got to see eachother.
"Great, he should be here soon" she smiled looking up at her phone.
Minutes later Brooke was greeted by the feel of a leather jacket around of her neck, the shine of his rings against the light and a kiss on top of her head. Catherine had gone to the locker room to get something out of her purse, for a minute of two they were alone. Brooke stood up and kissed him and gave him a hug, her face in his chest until Catherine walked in. She introduced them and they all sat down at the table in the break room, Brooke sat on Criss' lap while they disscused the Niagara Falls stunt.
"So they actually gave you the permit?" Catherine said as she sipped on some coffee.
"It took awhile to get through to them but I got it" He smiled holding Brooke closer to him
The three continued to talk for almost twenty minutes before Grissom innterupted.
"Hate to break up your social gathering but Brooke and Catherine autopsy now" he walked away without even aknowledging the fact that Criss was there.
"I guess I should go, nice meeting you Catherine" he walked out, no hug or kiss goodbye.
They sat in scilence for a few minutes.
"Hey, do you think Grissom would give me a few nights off because if Criss is going to Niagara from Friday until Monday and I have Monday and Saturday off you think I'd be able to get Sunday and Friday off? So I could go with him?" Brooke had a sad look on her face one she never had to often.
"Oh, I don't know maybe you could always try" Catherine stood up towards the door
"You coming?" She turned around to face Brooke who was texting on her phone
"Yah I'll be there" She walked out towards Grissoms office.
She knocked on the door until she heard Grissom tell her to come in.
He looked up from his paperwork he was doing.
"Oh, hi Brooke what do you need" He dropped his pen and gestured her to sit in the chair in front of his desk
"Hi, um I was wondering if I could have Friday and Sunday off" She sat down in the chair
"Well it's already Wednesday and if you want to use your vacation days you should have said something earlier but maybe I can get Catherine or Sara to come in..." he stopped for a minute.
"So, is that a yes?" Brooke started smiling
"Well, first I want to know why you want those days off?" he leaned forward abit
"My boyfriend is going to Niagara Falls to do this thing" she slouched a little
"Do you want to tell me what this 'thing' is?" Grissom cracked a smile
"Well he wants to go over the falls in a barrel, and I dont want to go just to go to Niagara Falls but if something happened to him and I wasn't there I just wouldnt be able to live with myself..." She thought she might cry at the thought of losing Criss
"Oh well normally I wouldnt give you the days off but I guess this falls under the catagorey of family emergency so I guess you can" Brookes smile grew bigger, she ran to Grissom who was now standing nehind her and hugged him.
"Thank you" she exclaimed
"Your welcome, now get to that autopsy"" he was laughing
"Right" she flipped her hair back and walked towards the autopsy room.
She walked in just before it had started. She slipped on some rubber gloves and stood next to Catherine.
"Your victim had been identified as Victor Masters, we found ID in his back pocket" Doc Robbins said pointing to a soggy peice of paper over on a table.
"So how'd he die?" Brooke walked around examining the body
"Various stab wounds covered by his clothes" Catherine added
The autopsy went on and soon Catherine and Brooke found themselves back in the break room.
"So is Grissom giving you the days off?" Catherine pured herself a cup of coffee
"Yah" she sighed
"I thought you wanted to go you seem sad about it" Catherine sat next to her sipping her coffee
"I do I'm just scared somethings going to happen to him" She again almost started to cry but she forced her tears down
"If he takes all the saftey percautions he should be fine" Catherine tried reassuring her
"I know but he's always saying one day he's going to push himself to far what if its that day, I mean I'm sure the water is freezing and theres all these rocks and the undertow and apperently its like 80 feet deep at the end, what if no body can get to him in time? What if I lose him?" She couldnt help but to let her eyes fill up with tears
Catherine moved closer to her and hugged her. Brooke always felt that Catherine was more of a mother figure than an aunt, she had a mom but her mom lived in Orange County.
"I'm sure he'll be fine" Catherine held her and Brooke started to cry but forced them down until her cell phone started to vibrate against the table, it was just a text message from Kim.
The rest of the night and the next day went on and then Brooke was off to Niagara...
