Golfing on a bet

After they were done shooting each other for fun they headed over to the miniature golf section of the park. Greg was bouncing all over the place and Catherine was scowling at him. Once he noticed the look on her face he calmed down a little (but just a little).

They got their clubs and balls with only a momentary dilemma. Greg and Nick sat arguing over who was going to get the hot pink ball, and Nick finally won by threatening to punch Greg in the arm.

"I wanted the pink one anyway" he said and gave Nick a huge raspberry, eliciting a laugh from the rest of them.

"Who goes first?" Grissom asked the group while they walked to the first green. Cath gave him a mischievous look "I think it should go oldest to youngest" knowing this would bug both Grissom (for having to be the first to play) and Greg (for being the last to play).

She knew she was right when the two men in question groaned and rolled their eyes. Nick, Warrick, and Sara all nodded their heads in agreement, outvoting the other two. Grissom heaved a sigh and placed his ball down for his turn.

After the first couple of holes it was apparent that Although Grissom was a good golf player, he was a lousy mini golf player. Greg however was pretty good, which did not go unnoticed by Sara, who could out golf any of them.

"Hey Greg, how did you get to be this good at mini golf?" Before he could answer Warrick chimed in, "Must have been all those dates" and they all laughed, even Greg.

Grissom sidled up next to Sara and leaned in close, "how about a wager?"

She turned her head, "what kind of wager, and what would I win?" she answered.

"How about you, me and Nick against Cath, War, and Greg? As for the reward…" he tapered off, leaving a blatant invitation in its wake with the look in his eyes, and Sara blushed just thinking of it.

Sara nodded her head and they proposed it to the rest of the team. They all seemed to like the idea of a little friendly competition and decided to go with it. "Hey, winner gets what?" Nick asked.

Sara gave Grissom a positively scorching look as she answered Nick. "Well, we hadn't decided yet" she turned to Nick, "what would you suggest?"

Nick seemed to be seriously pondering the answer to this question for a minute when Greg yelled out with his face lit up. "I know, the team that loses has to run through the park naked!"

Both Grissom and Catherine gave him a look while the rest of them seemed to be actually thinking about it for a second or two. Grissom's eyebrows shot up to his head, "I think we need to take it down a notch from that. I don't know about the rest of you, but I really don't feel like being arrested during a company paid vacation."

They all nodded their heads in agreement, though Greg seemed to be a little depressed about it. "Why don't we mull it over while we are playing, I know we can come up with something good. Until then make sure you play your best, who knows what will be thought up with this group."

After an agreement was made they continued their game, each keeping in mind just what might be at stake. They were down to the last hole and Sara had barely managed to keep the team going with Grissom playing so miserably. She decided that when they got back to Vegas she was going to have to teach him how to play this game.

Nick seemed to be a fair player which allowed them to keep up with the others. Who knew Cath would be so good at this game? She was on par with Greg and unfortunately, Warrick was just as bad as Grissom so the game was truly even.

Grissom placed his ball down on the ground and aimed for the hole. He was getting better as the game went on but this hole was difficult. He had to try and avoid holes, barriers, and make it between the two waterfalls flanking the entrance to the green.

He gave his ball a hard tap and managed to avoid the holes but when the ball passed through the waterfalls it was sucked in and never made it to the green. He winced and gave Sara and Nick an apologetic look.

Cath sauntered up to the cue and placed her ball down. She took aim and tapped her ball, they all watched as it fell into the first hole. Everyone started laughing and Cath just stood there with a surprised look on her face.

Warrick stepped up to the cue and patted Cath on the shoulder before taking his shot. Figuring it wouldn't make a difference he just plunked the ball down and gave it a tap, once again to everyone's amazement it went passed the holes and waterfalls and straight into the right hole.

"Woo hoo" he yelled before giving Nick a high five. Nick stepped up to cue and placed his ball on the ground. He took his time measuring the angle with his eyes and then giving the ball a good tap. They all watched on as his ball made its way to the hole and neatly went in.

Sara jumped up and down in place before grabbing Nick and giving him a huge hug before heading to the cue herself. If she could get the ball in they would be ahead, if not, tied. She was damned if she was going to lose.

With a determined look she stepped up and placed her ball on the ground. She gave the path a good look and seemed to be doing some mental calculations. A minute later everyone looked on as her ball went neatly into the hole.

She beemed at the astonished faces around her, "you guys can't actually be surprised can you, I do have a degree in physics you know."

Cath, Warrick, and Greg all gave her nasty looks as Greg stepped up. Knowing they were probably going to lose anyway he did the same thing Warrick did and just plopped his ball down and gave it a whack.

Straight into the last hole.

He stood there astonished while the rest of them congratulated him. They saw his pouting look and stopped, "Greg man, what the deal?" Warrick asked.

"We tied" he responded, and not seeing recognition on any of their faces he elaborated, "the bet" with raised eyebrows.

Looks of dawning came across all their faces. "Look Greg" Sara said "lets expand the bet to the rest of the day. Whichever team has the most wins…wins" she finished.

Greg's face brightened as he thought of all the possibilities, and the idea that he just might get to win the bet. He had a great idea for the losers.

I know that was a bit cruel to leave you guys hanging, but I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Leave me a review and I might give you a hint as to what the little man was thinking of.
