Grissom rolled his eyes. Only Greg would make a joke about this. He studied his employee for a few seconds, noticing the obvious injuries. "Are you guys all right?" he asked Nick and Greg.
Greg shrugged. "Just a little singed, but I think I'll live."
'And I'm all right, thanks to Greg and Lt. Caine." Nick said. "I'd have been stuck in there if weren't for them."
Jim walked over and interrupted them. "Horatio, Nicky and Greggo need to give Sophia their statements, as they were inside when the building exploded."
Greg looked over at the burning office building. "That's going take forever to process, assuming there's anything left related to the original crime."
Grissom looked at him. "Go make your statements. There's nothing we can do until they put out the fire anyway."
Greg remembered the SD card from his camera. He pulled it out of his pocket and showed his boss. "I did get a few pictures before the bomb went off. There was… "
Sophia, who had followed Jim over to them, cut him off. "Greg, I need to get a statement from you, Nick, and Lt. Caine. There isn't much you can do until the fire's out anyway."
Greg sighed and followed her over to a quieter spot. He figured that it would be better to just get this over with so he could get back to his case, on the off chance Grissom hadn't come to simply take it over. He quickly told Sophia what happened and then rejoined his colleges.
Nick then followed Sophia to give his own statement. Grissom, meanwhile, had just Horatio tell him what exactly had happened. He was impressed that Greg had found the bomb and not panicked.
"Lt. Caine tells me hat you were the one that found the bomb."
Greg nodded. "It was in a file cabinet. I opened it because there were prints on the handle. That must've been what triggered it. I guess that we'll know more after we put it back together."
Grissom looked at him. "Sounds like you did a good trying to get everyone out of there. It could have been a lot worse."
The young CSI smirked. "Well, I figured that running and screaming wouldn't have been helpful, much as I wanted to."
Grissom actually smiled. "So, now hat are you going to do?"
"Well, I'll take the room where the bomb went off. I don't know if there's anything left, but I did have some swabs and print lifts in my kit. If my luck is any better then it has been all day, the case should have protected them. Even if they didn't, I do have some pictures of before the bomb went off, and a shot of the bomb itself. That'll make it easier to put the pieces back together." He paused.
Horatio nodded. "I can help you out with that. I know a lot about bombs."
Greg nodded. "Good. The rest of you guys can process whatever's left of the building. It is pretty unstable, so be careful. Work in sections, and keep in mind the whole building could come down if we're not careful. The fireman have probably left us a real mess, so this is going to take awhile." He continued to outline his plan, with Grissom watching.
"Sounds like you've got this under control."
"As far as I know, it's still my case." Greg looked him in the eye.
Grissom nodded. "It is."
The team watched as the fireman got the blaze under control. When it was finally out, the team got to work.
Rick and Natalia discovered that Greg's kit had been blown well away from the worst of the fire in the blast. It was mostly in tact.
Grissom and Nick helped process as well, taking the perimeter and doing the sketch.
Greg and Horatio found the bomb components and bagged them, along with anything else that looked important.
It took a while, but under Greg's direction, they processed the scene and headed back to lab.
Greg himself was still a bit rattled by the explosion, but forced himself to focus on the task at hand. Caine saw that he was a little jumpy, but really didn't blame him. It had been one of those days.
A/N sorry it's so short, but thank you very much for reviewing! I'll write a longer one tomorrow, I think I've figured out how this will work itself out.
