I want to thank my Beta NickandGregNumberOneSlashFan.
Disclaimer: As I stated earlier I don't own anything
In Las Vegas in a certain lab everyone was busy trying to solve the latest cases, one young man in particular that would normally be on his 3rd pot of what he proclaimed as 'good' coffee by now, but due to the confusion at the border, the young man hadn't had a single cup all week as he tried his hardest to cut back trying to make it last but to no prevail it hadn't even lasted half the week. The smell that remained in the pot no longer was able to subdue him, oh how he wanted the taste of a freshly brewed cup to go down his throat, he wanted it so much that he even was willing to drink what the other workers called coffee, but that wouldn't happen either as they had finished theirs before he had gone through his entire stash. The young man sat on the stool in DNA running continuous tests on the samples as they come in, he is trying his hardest to keep his mind away from the thing he really wanted at this time. He pulled out his phone and called a number he kept in his phone to place his regular order, the phone rang 3 times before the answer machine picked up
"I'm sorry that no one can take your call right now, if your calling to ask about are prices please leave a message, but if you're calling inquiring about our coffee's I'm afraid I have bad news as our store is out of stock at the moment. If you're calling for any other reason, please leave a message" He flipped his phone closed; he let out another sigh yet again.
Nick was merely passing by DNA as he was going to get something to eat, I should find out if he wants anything or he's going to skip eating all together. He stepped into the DNA lab "Greggo" he waited for a moment receiving no answerhe moved closer "Greggo" Still with no indication of being heard, he's probably got his headphones on again he went even closer so his mouth was right beside the younger man's ear "Greggo, earth to Greg, come back to us Greg, please come back and return to us here on earth Greg" his breath sent chills down his spine.
Greg stopped everything he was working on especially since he wasn't really focused on it that aroma of that balanced dark smooth liquid he felt the breath against his neck causing him to come back to reality. He turned to look at him as tears began to run down his cheeks. Nick after seeing the tears pouring down his cheeks, he couldn't help but grab him and giving him a hug to try and calm him, he waited a couple moments finding that he had calmed down a bit to the point that the tears had stopped falling
"What happened?" Nick asked in a calm voice.
"Nick there's no coffee anywhere. I called all the shops and I emptied out my stash almost a week ago, no one has any" tears began to form in the corners of his eyes once again.
Nick let go of him before anyone passed by and they got the wrong idea "Is that all your crying about? I can't be much longer before the shops will be full of it once again, and I'm sure you're not the only one suffering without any" Nick looked at him letting out a small soft sigh I have to get him to focus on something else besides his craving for his regular break time 'how about we go and get something to eat?'
"Yeah, but Ecklie won't let me leave. A least until I'm caught up on the case files and I'm seriously back logged" states Greg in dismay
"Hmm... that is troublesome" Nick stated Greg nodded with sadness
Not a moment later did someone walk in "Mr. Sanders I hope if you have the time to be standing around talking then that would mean that you're caught up"
"Not quite yet" Greg answered honestly. Why can't you ever give me a break? I'm hungry and I seriously need coffee.
"Can I talk to you for a moment?" asks Nick
"Of course" Ecklie walked out of DNA with Nick following him, the two of them didn't go very far rather they were standing on the other side of the door
"Can't you at least give him a break so that he can eat something Ecklie?" asks Nick
"I'm not saying that he can't go to the break room, I'm just saying that before he can leave the lab he has to get caught up as he's fallen seriously behind"
Not a moment later or rather it was by sure chance that he was walking down the hall with files in his hands anyway, he happened to hear the two voices. He walked up to them "what's going on?" asks Gil
Nick turned towards 'his' boss "he won't let Greg go grab something to eat"
"Why not Ecklie?" asks Gil
"As I'm sure your aware Mr Sanders is behind in his work, and so I hope that with keeping him here till he finishes will inspire him to stay on task while working" replies Ecklie
"He only fell behind since he's going through coffee with drawl" states Nick
"Which proves that he's too dependent on it?" Ecklie countered Nick looked ready to pound the guy.
Ecklie can I talk to you in my office?" asks Gil, he didn't wait for him to reply as he already started walking. The two walk off down the hall, he let Ecklie lead the way as he ushered behind him hinting Nick to go without turning around I hope he got the idea.
Nick watched as the two walked away, it didn't take long for him to register what he was doing with his arm, he opened the door to DNA "Greggo let's go eat" the two of them left DNA and quickly slipped out of the lab without anyone really noticing and made their way to their favorite diner, spotting and joining Catherine and Warrick at one of the tables.
Please Review and let me know how I'm doing. I'm also interested with other caffine addicts, so if you know of some please tell me as well.
Chapter 3 will be up hopefully soon.
