Okay, guys! Last chapter! I figured it would be a good idea to end this story before season 12 starts since it takes place before the season 11 finale. I know it doesn't really matter that much since I only mentioned Ray once, but still, I think it's best this way. Plus, you get the final chapter quite quick after the previous one. I hope you enjoyed the story. Please let me know if you'd like to read more stories like that, a little romantic, a little humorous and stuff :)

Thank you for reading!

Big Love,

The next day, Hodges got rejected by her, too. Both Nick and Greg were happy that they won some money, but also felt bad for Hodges, so they decided to pay him breakfast after shift.

They went into a diner a few blocks away from the lab. It was frequented by many cops they worked with as well as their colleagues at the lab. They greeted a few of them when they went in and sat down at a table. Nick sat down next to Greg, Hodges sat opposite them. They were sitting in a booth.

While ordering some food and coffee, Hodges flirted with the waitress. When she left the table, Nick said, "Hey, look who's just entered the diner. It's Robin."

Hodges turned around to get a look at the entrance. As Nick raised his hand to wave at Robin, Hodges grabbed the hand and put it on the table quite forcefully. "Don't!"

"Ouch!" Nick said irritated. "What the hell, man?"

"I just got dumped by this woman and you want to ask her to sit with us?"

"No, I just wanted to say hi..."

"She's coming! Duck!" Hodges said, grabbing Nick and pulling him under the table.

"Jesus, Hodges!" Nick said aggressively.

Greg was still sitting at the table, though. When Hodges noticed this, he grabbed Greg's leg and started pulling him down, as well. Instead of being pulled down, though, he kicked Hodges. Just then he noticed that Greg was talking to someone.

"Dammit, it's too late!" he whispered to Nick.

"Well then why are we still under the table?" Nick got up. Hodges followed a few seconds later.

The waitress was standing at the table, giving Nick and Hodges an uncomfortable smile. "...You need anything else?"

"No, we're good," Greg replied with a smile. He was enjoying the fact that Hodges managed to make a fool of himself in front of the waitress. She left.

"Where's Robin?" Hodges asked, looking around the diner.

Nick stared surprised at a table at the other side of the diner. Greg chuckled.

"What? What is it?" Hodges turned around to look at what Nick was looking at. His jaw almost dropped. "...What the hell?"

"Told you she's not into you guys." Greg sipped from his coffee.

"You knew about this?" Hodges turned around to Nick and Greg again. "Why didn't you tell me before I asked her out and made a fool of myself?"

"Because it wouldn't have been as much fun, that's why."

"You're evil," Hodges replied.

"I learned from the best."

"Guys..." Nick said, "Am I dreaming? Is this really happening right now?"

Greg nodded with a grin. Hodges did, too, but with a rather sad look on his face.

Nick couldn't believe it. He really thought he had a chance with her. He was gonna ask her out in a week. He though she was into him, too. They had a good conversation when he gave her a ride home. And now he had to watch this. Robin kissing a woman. "Who's the girl she's with, anyways?"

"Officer Morris. She joined the department a few weeks ago. They met each other before Robin's first day at the lab," Greg explained.

"How do you know?"

"She told me when I asked her out."

"You knew all the time... And didn't tell us..." Nick said annoyed.

"Yeah well, I wanted you to find out yourselves. Like I said, much more fun that way. And now excuse me..." He stood up. "While you two were hiding under the table I talked with Jenny, our waitress. I think I'm gonna ask her out," he said while he winked at them and walked up to the waitress.

"...Wait! I flirted with her first!" Hodges got up and ran after Greg.

Ende.
