Nope, CSI still isn't mine.

After her last counseling session, Russell cleared Morgan to come back to work. She'd met Catherine in the morgue to look over the body of a young woman found dead with some unusual marks all over her arms. After the autopsy, she knocked on Catherine's door.

"Got a minute?"

"Oh, hey," Catherine said as she looked up from some paperwork. "Yeah. What's up?"

Sitting down in the chair opposite Catherine at her desk, Morgan sighed.

"Everything okay?" Catherine asked the young woman.

"Mmm? Oh, yeah," Morgan answered. "The case is going well." She grimaced at the last statement-they were investigating someone's murder, after all.

Catherine smiled slightly. "So, what's up?"

Morgan looked at Catherine with a determined gaze. "Greg came to see me."

Catherine gave a soft laugh. "Well, that's good, right?"

Giving her friend a small smile, Morgan said, "No, it's good. He just seemed...I don't know, kind of...distant, I guess."

"Well, you know, he may still blame himself for you being in that helicopter instead of him." Catherine offered.

"No...well, yeah, I know he feels that it should have been him in the chopper." Morgan winced. Why was it so hard to try to find what was up with Greg?

"So, what's wrong?"

Morgan sighed and looked at Catherine. "Dad called, and said something like, 'he knows how you feel'."

Catherine's eyes looked down at the desk to avoid Morgan's somewhat demanding gaze.

"Catherine, what did he mean?"

Sighing, Catherine looked up at the young CSI. "It was about five years ago. Man, I can't believe it's been that long."

"What?" When Catherine briefly looked away, Morgan leaned forward. "Look, Greg's always been there for me. And if something happened...I just...want to know."

Catherine looked at Morgan, who now gave her a demanding but concerned stare. She sighed, and looked up to see Greg approaching her office. "Why don't you ask him?"

Morgan turned and saw Greg as he knocked on Catherine's door. "Hey, Catherine...oh, hey, Morgan." Greg smiled. "I heard you were coming back."

Morgan's determined stare softened into a smile as she saw Greg. "Yeah, I just came back today."

"Well, welcome back," Greg said, flashing a smile.

"Thanks," Morgan said as her own smile grew. She found it hard not to smile when Greg smiled at her.

Clearing his throat, Greg said, "Catherine, Nick's ready for you in the garage. He found something on that tarp Rachel Greer was found in."

"All right, I'm on my way," Catherine said.

Greg turned to leave as Catherine and Morgan stood up to head to see what Nick had found. Before he got too far down the hall, Morgan called after Greg. "Hey!"

Greg turned around and saw Morgan walking towards him. "Hey. Um...sorry it took so long to..."

"Uh, no," Morgan began. "Well, I mean, thank you for yesterday." Morgan looked away shyly and cursed herself for sounding like a lovesick teenager.

Greg smiled. "Well, you're welcome. But I was going to say sorry I wasn't the first to welcome you back."

Morgan looked at Greg's smiling face. "Well...thank you," she said giving him a smile of her own. "Um...are you busy later?"

Greg shrugged. "No, not that I know of."

"Can we...get together, maybe finish off that pizza?" Morgan asked.

Greg blinked his eyes in surprise. "Um, yeah. Sure. I'll-I'll call you."

"Okay," Morgan answered with a smile.

"Okay," Greg said with a smile of his own.

"Hey, Morgan?" Russell called from his office. "Want to help in the garage?"

Looking at Greg's smile, Morgan sighed. "Sure."

Greg waved to Russell as he walked past the two. Looking at Morgan, Greg smiled. "So I'll catch you later."

Morgan smiled. "Later."

As she walked away, Morgan smiled thinking about getting together with Greg later. The more she thought about him, the more she couldn't believe anyone would ever hurt him. But something had happened to him five years ago. And Morgan was determined to find out what.
