When I get home I stop in front of the door to unlock it. I gently turn the key and the lock pops and I walk in Jasper, our cat that Greg and I got together, ran to me. She starts meowing at my feet.
"Oh Jasp, I know, daddy's in the hospital. But he's going to be just fine."
I go to the kitchen to replenish her food and water and I grab a Coke from the fridge. I walk into our room and sit on the bed. On the dresser sits a picture. I grab it and look at it. It was the vacation we took last summer to Florida. We were on the beach and we were just like teenagers on spring break. That was the first vacation we took together. My eyes start to water as I think that we might have never been able to take another vacation, but God spared Greg.
"Thank you so much God."
I take a refreshing shower and get dressed. I call Grissom to tell him that I'm stopping by the lab. I clean up a little bit to make sure Greg comes home to a nice house.
I pull up in front of the lab and get out. I head to the door and walk in. As I start walking to Grissom's office Nick comes up to me and hugs me.
"Lauren, I'm so sorry. If there's anything I can do, just ask."
"Sure. Wait…what's going on?"
"Oh, I thought you would be the first to know."
"Know what?"
"Greg's dead."
