Masquerade

Chapter 4

As the days went by the day of the masquerade ball finally came. Everyone was super excited about it and was chattering away in the crime lab before people depart to go home and get ready.

"This is going to be so exciting." said Nick coming over to Greg and Morgan who were talking "What's going on here?"

"Nothing." said Greg right there as Nick looked at him

"We were just talking about the masquerade ball." replied Morgan even though they know it isn't true

"Oh I guess you guys are excited." said Nick

"Oh yeah I got my dress three days ago it's going to be awesome." said Morgan

Morgan stood there as she looked at Greg because they were actually talking about her pregnancy not the masquerade ball. It's been their cover story for the time being and she knows it. Although they are excited and everything they know it's not time yet for everyone to even know the truth about their relationship at all.

"I should go Nick. Not only do I need to get ready for the masquerade ball but I also need to have lunch and see my father." said Morgan getting up

"And I have some errands to go run before I get ready for the masquerade ball." said Greg after her

"Sure." said Nick in a monotone

Greg and Morgan both left Nick right there standing while looking at the two of them knowing there is something going on. He's not sure what is even is but now people in the crime lab are hiding stuff from others. But he decided to just shake it off.

Nick then walked off going to his desk and sat down on it. He grabbed his evidence log. He looked through it going through his own evidence of the food poisoning case. It was eating at him even though he closed it. He felt like there was something missing that they didn't get. Like there is a link out there still for him to discover.

He looked to the side from his desk. He knows now that there was something up going with Greg and Morgan. They may not admit it but there is definitely something. He put the log back down on his desk. He decided that he is now done with it.


DB Russell entered the Masquerade Ball as he looked around the whole place seeing it in colors and different masks. He went down some stairs to the building the masquerade was taking place. It was amazing that he couldn't believe all of this happened so quickly. He got to the bottom and went over to the punch bowl and grabbed some.

"Ah you couldn't fool me Russell." said a female voice coming over wearing an emerald green nice fitting dress with an a line skirt and with a lace black mask and straight blonde hair

Russell turned around in his nice black pants with a gold vest and a nice black coat. His silver-white hair was gelled somewhat. Then there was the gold mask that he was wearing over his eyes. He looks nice and polished but it was obvious to who he was.

"And how do you know that?" asked Russell to the female with blonde hair

"Your hair it's a dead giveaway from a fifty mile radius." said the female

"Of course Jules." said Russell

"I told you not to call me that." said Julie Finlay

"So do you know where everyone else is?" asked Russell

"Unfortunately, no they aren't. Nick is not here as he's a dead giveaway to what he looks like and Sara isn't here either she told me the color of her dress. As for Greg and Morgan I don't even know if they are here or not. I've been searching but there are too many people with their hair color and that look like them apart to being behind masks. They might look different without the mask." said Julie Finlay right there "But Brass is over there talking to Henry about some sort of case that he's working on and doesn't want people to know. As for Hodges he's off gloating somewhere I can tell you that."

"Well you look great Jules." said Russell

"Russell, now I tell you I don't know about some of them." replied Julie Finlay

Across the room Greg and Morgan were together happy and smiling. They were kind of glad to be in this place together without people knowing about their relationship. It's a masquerade ball so people won't even know. Greg is wearing a suit with a blue tie and a blue mask.

Then there was Morgan who ended up curling her hair and put in a barrette in her hair to hold up some of the curls. But her dress is a light ice blue dress with ruffles on the bottom, than the top is, spaghetti straps with a sweetheart neckline. She is wearing simple jewelry with a very lacy white mask.

"I'm glad people don't know." said Morgan up to Greg in his ear

"I am too. This is a nice place to keep this all secret with the masks." Greg agreed

"Finn is looking at us." whispered Morgan as she listened to the music

"She won't know its us." said Greg to her

"So we're keeping a low profile?" Morgan wondered

"Yeah let's stay off on the side." said Greg

Morgan looked at him as they continued on dancing there. They know that things are good with them. The whole thing is different, unique and they can tell that some people look sumptuous to them. But that doesn't mean a thing at all it just means they are doing their jobs. They are hiding who they are to the others but they know who some of them are.

They noticed Julie Finlay and DB Russell together they know it's them because of Russell's silver-white hair. It stands out from a long ways away. They also noticed Brass and Henry Andrews together talking about a case that Brass is working on. They also know that Hodges is gloating with some people about nothing in particular.

"How are you feeling anyway?" asked Greg

"I'm feeling fine." said Morgan

"Hey I'm just being a good boyfriend." Greg whispered to her

"I know you are." responded Morgan

Greg kept on dancing with Morgan right there but then noticed something suspicious. He saw a female in a mysterious black feather dress and a bedazzled black mask. The female looked suspicious as she kept on walking through the place. But somehow Greg knew better.

"Am I the only one or does she look suspicious to you?" asked Greg as Morgan looked at the female

"She does kind of look suspicious." Morgan agreed

"What do you think she is up to?" wondered Greg

"You want to find out don't you." said Morgan

"Yeah let's go." said Greg

Greg grabbed her hand and they ended up walking off to follow the mysterious woman. They know that something is up so they need to find out if it's true. A masquerade ball is always a big part in murders or crimes of all types. Greg looked at Morgan for a quick moment then they pushed a curtain to a side then they walked through it.
