Thanks for reading! I think I've decided on pairings for this but I'm not totally sure. It'll probably be GSR, CWR, and either N/G, N/OC, or G/OC, or something else, or some combination. I hope you enjoy it! Please review.

Half Past Now

"Officer," the woman said trying to get their attention but then she realized that Greg had addressed her by name. After looking at him gently for a few moments, studying his face, she knew him. "Greg? What are you doing here?"

"I work here," he told her awkwardly, unsure if he should hug her or not. "I'm a CSI. This is one of my co-workers, Nick Stokes."

"It's nice to meet you," Nick said extending a hand to the woman, "Ma'am."

She nodded towards him but didn't take his hand or acknowledge the handshake. Instead she turned to Greg and said, "thank God they sent you to talk to me. I've been going out of my mind."

"Liz they didn't send me to talk to you," Greg told her gently. He gestured to the front desk. "Nick and I were just down here to clock out."

"Oh," she squeaked, almost sounding hurt. Her eyes seemed to fill up with tears as she sniffed a few times and stepped back away from Greg. "So I've been waiting for more than an hour and they haven't even asked someone to talk to me yet?"

"Liz what's going on?" Greg asked, sounding a bit like a frightened teenager. He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer to him, oddly close, and looked her in the eye. "What is it?"

"It's nothing," she placed an open palm on his chest and pushed away. "Well, it's just that... well I can't find Marty."

"You lost your husband?" Greg asked, chuckling at his joke.

"No!" She growled back at him, shoving him into Nick. "I mean he didn't come home last night."

"Well Ma'am," Nick said, stepping in. "I'm sure he's at home waiting for you right now. Why don't you take the kids and head back. Give Greg and I a call in a few hours if you still haven't heard anything."

"I don't want to be told to wait anymore!" She shrieked at Nick. "My husband didn't come home last night. There's something wrong, I know there is. I want someone in this damn place to do something about it."

"Ma'am," Nick tried to calm her. "I understand that you're worried but it's policy to wait 24 hours before we file a missing persons report."

She gave Nick a filthy look and turned back to Greg, "Do something. Please. Something?"
