"Dammit!" Nick kicked a box standing next to him.

"Shouldn't we go after him?" Officer Carter asked Nick while calling the incident through his radio.

"No, we can't risk that... Let's just hope Greg gets back... Why did he go to him?" Nick still couldn't believe Greg did that. He let him get away, he thought.

A few minutes passed when finally the door opened. It was Greg.

"What the hell just happened, Greg? Why did you run into this maniac's arms?" Nick went over to him to check if he had any injuries. Despite a bruise on his neck, he was fine. Nick was both angry and concerned.

"What you just did was reckless!" Officer Carter said while walking pass Greg and storming out. He decided to wait outside for backup. He was too angry at Greg to wait in there with him.

Greg sat down on the ground, leaning against a wall. He was shaking. "He had a bomb, Nick," Greg replied rather exhausted.

Nick looked surprised. "A bomb...? Are you sure?"

"He showed it to me, it was strapped around his body."

"Yeah, but are you sure it was a real bomb?" Nick asked.

Greg looked at Nick in confusion. "It looked real enough not to take any risks."

"Why didn't you stay in the other hall and let me take care of it? Dammit!" Nick was furious. He kicked the box again.

"Because he had a BOMB, Nick! He told me to wait there and then come out or he'd blown the whole building up!"

"He was bluffing, Greg! He didn't HAVE a bomb!"

"I did what I thought was the right thing to do, Nick," Greg said a bit disappointed. Not because he let Monroe get away, but because of Nick's reaction.

Nick turned around. He was too angry to look Greg in the eyes right now. "If he kills anyone else that's on you!", he said and walked out of the warehouse.

When Greg and Nick arrived back at the lab, they were expected in Catherine's office.

The two didn't talk with each other ever since Nick blamed Greg for everything Monroe might do now that he got a chance to run away.

Catherine, Brass and Ecklie were already waiting for them in the office.

"Sit down," Brass said roughly.

Catherine put her glasses down. "What the hell happened in there?"

"Did you really walk into the arms of a dangerous fugitive?" Brass asked Greg angrily.

"It wasn't anything like that..." Greg said defensive. He explained what went down in that warehouse.

"And you're alright?" Catherine was concerned now. At first she was angry with them, because she thought they just let him get away. With Greg saying there was a bomb, it all made sense. For Catherine, at least.

Nick nodded.

"Yeah, we're fine," Greg said, looking at Nick.

"And where was officer Carter when it all happened?" Ecklie asked Greg.

"He said he heard a noise outside and wanted to check it out."

"You didn't hear it?"

Greg shook his head. "I was in the other hall, but I think Nick heard it."

"Did you?" Ecklie asked, looking at Nick.

"Mhm," was all Nick had so say.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah," Nick said annoyed.

Both Nick and Greg couldn't know that officer Carter was friends with Randall, the officer that shoot himself in the head while taking Greg and Nick hostage, a fact they just found out a few hours ago. They weren't sure they could trust him anymore, but the way Greg told the story didn't really justify their mistrust.

"I'm glad you're okay," Catherine said with a smile on her face. She noticed Nick was in a bad mood, but figured it was, again, his pride. He had the chance to catch one of the bad guys but didn't.

"Hey, Sanders!" Julian shouted from inside the DNA lab.

Greg walked in. "Are my results ready?"

"There they are." Julian handed him the results. "I heard about what happened at the warehouse."

Greg looked up to him, preparing for something stupid coming out of the lab tech's mouth.

"Whatever Nick thinks happened, you did the right thing..." Julian turned around to process some DNA samples.

Greg was astonished. Did he really say that? He usually had nothing but smart-ass comments or insults to say, why did he say that now? A sheepish "...Thank you," was all Greg could say after that unexpected conversation.

Julian. Even Julian thought Greg did everything right! Why couldn't Nick see that? It seemed to Greg like the only way to communicate between the two was arguing now. And he hated that.

'Wait a minute. If I have a problem with Nick's behavior, I should just confront him!', Greg thought.

That's what he wanted to do! Just talk to him about it. They're grown-ups, after all. He was sure they could work it out if he just opened his mouth about it!
