Hello all!
I'm back... yes I was procrastinating so I wrote another chapter. Apologies again for length, I did mention that I like to keep them short, I'm trying to update regularly to compensate for this. Thanks for reviews and follows :) Anyway I don't own CSI or the characters but enjoy!
She had no idea how long she had been in there for when she heard footsteps coming towards the bathroom. "Morgan?" It was Finns voice. She didn't respond, she couldn't respond.
Finn entered the bathroom and heard sobbing coming from one of the stalls. "Morgan come out and let's talk." Finn pleaded. There was no response.
Finn noticed the sobs began to die down and after about 5 minutes Morgan gave in, after realising that Finn wasn't going to leave that easily, and slowly unlocked the door to the cubicle whilst remaining sat on the floor. Finn walked towards the stall and sat down next to the younger CSI. She had never been the best when it came to these sort of situations but she tried her best. "Do you want to talk about what's going on?" Morgan shook her head, not feeling able to speak as she had just been able to get her emotions under control. "You can tell me anything Morgan, I want to help." She shook her head again, she hated letting people see her this vulnerable but she just couldn't keep it together. Finn noticed that Morgan had stopped crying; she handed her a tissue. "Hey, why don't you take a minute to clean up and then get to work to try and take your mind off things. I can ask Russell if you can take the rest of the day off if you'd prefer that?"
Morgan wiped away her tears as she stood. "I'll be out in a bit." She said, wanting to resume with work, she knew if she went home she would lose it all over again. Finn walked out leaving Morgan alone in the bathroom. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were red, her cheeks tear streaked. She splashed some water onto her face and took a few deep breaths. She fixed her hair to hide her face as much as possible and then she left. She made her way down to the morgue to talk to doc and get notes for her case file.
On her way back from the morgue, she was heading to DNA; Russell beckoned her into his office. She stood in the door way. "Why don't you come and sit down." She complied. "Finn told me what happened earlier, she thought you might want some time to yourself."
"I'm fine thanks Russell." She stood, about to exit.
"Morgan, my door is always open if you want to talk. You can come and see me about anything at all."
She turned and smiled. "Thanks."
She went to the break room and placed her notes on the table. She then went to the fridge to get a drink. "Morgan!"
"Crap Sara you startled me!"
"Sorry. Hey, I heard you weren't quite yourself earlier…"
"Apparently everyone has." Morgan exclaimed, frustrated and touched at the same time.
Nick walked in and saw Morgan standing there. "Morgan are you alright?"
"See." She said to Sara, and then turned to face Nick. "I'm fine thank you, nothing's wrong."
"Well everyone seems to be under the impression that something is." He said.
"Thank you both for your concern, but honestly I'm great. I couldn't be better!"
Greg walked in and the room fell silent. Morgan and Greg's eye's met across the room, but only for a second. She broke eye contact, grabbed her file off the table and walked out of there as fast as she could.
