A/N: I'm sorry for the very long delay between chapters. I've had a lot of personal stuff going on, most of it not good, and very little time to write lately, so, I'm very sorry it's taken me this long to update. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter, and please review. :)
Chapter 18: "I Hate Cockroaches"
Greg was sitting at his desk, thumbing through the latest case file as his phone rang. He didn't even look as he answered it on speakerphone with, "Sanders."
"I hate cockroaches," Adam's voice echoed out into the office.
"Well, good thing you live in New York, then," Greg retorted absently.
"I don't mean the bugs."
"Good, because there may be some still hanging out here, and I would hate for them to get angry at you."
"Dude, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, why?"
"You seem extra distracted."
"Jekyll."
"Ahh. Well, then, I guess you wouldn't be interested in hearing about friggen Shane Casey?"
Greg shot up in his seat, slamming the folder closed. "Shane Casey?" he asked.
"Oh, yeah, that sneaky little bastard showed up at the lighthouse Danny and Lindsay went to on vacation," Adam said.
"Holy…"
"Yeah."
"Well?"
"We thought he died. Which, of course, kinda killed the buzz of the vacation, so Danny and Lindsay went home. They woke up to him holding Lucy in her nursery."
"You're kidding," Greg said. "Is she okay?"
"She's fine," Adam said. "Because Lindsay killed Shane Casey."
"Are you sure? Shouldn't you, like, chop his head off and bury it separately, just to be sure?"
Nick arched his eyebrows as he walked into the office and heard what Greg had said.
"That's funny that you said that, since he did that to one of his victims," Adam said.
"Oh, that's right," Greg said. "I forgot about that."
"Yeah."
"Who is this?" Nick asked.
"Dude, you didn't tell me I was on speaker," Adam said.
"Sorry, man," Greg said to Adam. To Nick, he said, "serial killer in New York with a vendetta against Danny Messer, one of the CSIs."
"Really messed up guy," Adam added. "He's like a cockroach."
"Oh, I get it now."
"Took you long enough."
"To be fair, you and I both know I wasn't paying attention at first."
"Excuses, excuses."
"Are Danny and Lindsay okay?"
"Yeah, everyone's fine. Like I said, Lindsay killed Casey before it got any worse."
"Thank God."
"Amen." Adam sighed softly.
"You okay?" Greg asked.
"Like I said, I hate cockroaches," Adam replied.
"Good thing Grissom isn't here to hear you say that," Nick said.
"Not the bugs," Greg and Adam said together.
"Good God, ya'll even talk at the same time."
"We already went over this once," Greg explained.
"Gotcha," Nick said. "Though, shouldn't be surprised. You two have been friends for how long now?"
"I can't count that high," Greg joked, as Adam teased, "too long."
"Hey," Greg said.
"What?" Adam replied.
"'Too long?'"
"Well, some days…"
Nick shook his head. "Maybe you two should just get married already," he said as he walked out of the office.
"Did he just say what I think he said?" Adam asked.
"Yes, he did," Greg replied.
"Well… where should we live?"
Greg laughed. "I got kids established out here, man."
"Well, this marriage is never gonna work, then."
Greg laughed harder.
