A/N: Heyy folks! Thanks for the awesome reviews about the last story, I'm glad Greg wasn't too OOC for you :) So, I promise the next story I do will be about Greg and Morgan's date, but I just had to write this after seeing this CSI: NY episode last night. It's a tag from 7.02 'Unfriendly Chat'. Greg is obviously my favourite Las Vegas character, and Adam is my favourite in New York, so I thought it was about time the pair met XD Never tried anything for NY before so I hope Adam is ok in this :)

Summary – During some downtime at the Lab, Greg ends up on a chat roulette website where he meets a certain New York lab tech. Xover with CSI:NY.


New York Meeting

Greg was extremely bored. They were having a slow crime day in Las Vegas, something which was a rarity at the moment. He was supposed to be catching up on some paperwork, but just like a kid who didn't want to revise for an exam, he was instead sat at his desk messing around with his laptop. Greg was not connected to any of the usual social networking sites because he knew all the darkness and even death they could cause, so instead he looked at new ways to meet people. An ad came up for a site, . Curiously, the CSI clicked on it. Better than online dating he supposed with a sigh.

He observed as the site appeared and his video camera came on, before he knew it three college girls were looking at him, whispering and giggling. "Hey cutie!" the blond girl said waving at Greg. "Wanna play a game with us?" she said biting her lip.

"No thanks, I could be your father" Greg said with a frown before clicking on the button which said next. The girls disappeared and were replaced by an angry looking man with tattoos "you look friendly" Greg mumbled before clicking the button again. He went on for about half an hour talking to a few nice people and quickly moving on from things he did not want to see.

Eventually Greg came across the sound of rock music blasting through the screen as he watched a man sat on a swivel chair pretending he was playing the drums. The man however, didn't look weird compared to some of the others Greg had seen. He had a kind face, with scruffy hair and light beard. The CSI wondered if the man even knew he was there.

Greg laughed and clapped as the song stopped and the man took a bow "that was awesome, I like your style" he told the man.

"Thanks very much" the man said with a mischievous grin.

"You know I got caught doing something very similar at work once, except I had a rubber glove on my head" Greg explained with a smile and the man laughed.

"Then you're just as sane as I am" he replied "where do you work?"

"Crime Lab" Greg replied.

The man's jaw dropped in astonishment "No freakin' way!" he said excitedly "me too! In New York"

"Oh wow" Greg said equally amazed, small world. "I'm in Las Vegas. My names Greg" he said, normally he wouldn't give such information to strangers over the internet, but the man seemed genuine and bouncy. He reminded Greg a little of himself when he was a lab tech.

"I'm Adam" the man replied with a wave "So what's your position over there?"

"I'm a level two CSI" Greg said and Adam gave a low whistle to show he was impressed "how about you?"

"Lab rat" Adam said with a steady nod "I don't really have a set place though; I kind of just float around and go to wherever I'm needed. Although I'd say trace is probably my main area. They let me out on the field sometimes…but only If I beg…and promise I won't mess up. But I'm nuts so like that's ever gunna happen." He said with a roll of his eyes.

Greg laughed "Well it seems we have a lot in common. I used to be a lab tech too, DNA is my speciality."

"Oh really, we could use one of those, a DNA expert I mean." Adam said "I'm ok but it's not my strongest field like I said. Our actual DNA guy is a bore, like I'd rather sit and talk to a rock."

"Hmm sounds like one of my bosses" Greg said thinking about Ecklie.

"So you went to from lab rat to CSI, that's impressive man" Adam said with true admiration in his voice.

"Thanks, I decided like five years ago that the lab just wasn't the place for me. I wanted to get out there ya know? I mean I loved my job but… a certain experience made me realise there was much more I wanted to do."

"Ah, one of those experiences" Adam said with an understanding nod. "I've had a fair share of them myself. It gets tough sometimes right?"

"Tell me about it" Greg said with a sigh "Anyways this is depressing, what's happening in New York right now? I lived there for a few years but it was longer ago than I wish to admit."

"Oh, you know the usual, murder here, a robbery there, odd suicide round and about." Adam said with a sigh "but other than that it's still one huge party, the city that never sleeps….after Vegas of course. You know I've never been. I'd love to though; they always make it sound amazing."

"Well I'll take you then because you're missing out" Greg said with smile, picking up the lap top and quickly heading to the stairs and up to the roof. "Adam, this is Vegas in real time" he said turning the lab top round and he heard Adam gasp at the sight of the rainbow skyline, the sound of the soft, thudding music and the iconic buildings such as the pyramids towered over.

"It looks just a good as everyone says" Adam said and after a few minutes Greg headed back down to his office.

"Yeah, that's Vegas" Greg said "So you guys having a slow night too? Or are you just hiding from the boss?" he asked.

"Bit of both I guess" Adam said with a nervous smile "If Mac ever caught me on here then I doubt there'd be a happy ending."

"Same here, my boss Grissom just doesn't understand sometimes that there is life outside of work" Greg explained and Adam nodded in understanding.

"Hey Adam!" someone called behind the lab tech, but they were off screen so Greg couldn't see who it was.

"Oh no, Danny" Adam said with a roll of his eyes "Excuse me one sec" he said placing a hand over the screen and looking round. "Yes?"

"Are you on that site again?" Greg heard this Danny person ask "Man you need to get out more, unless is that a hot girl you're talking to."

Greg scoffed "No" Adam replied "Hey no Danny go away!" there was a scuffling sound and Greg could only guess the New York tech was trying to push Danny away and stop him being nosy.

"Don't fall for his charm!" Danny called still convinced Greg was a girl Adam was hiding "he has a weird obsession with aliens, we reckon he was abducted."

"Danny shut up!" Adam pleaded and Greg couldn't help but laugh "Go away, or I'll tell Lindsay you were talking to the hot girl"

"Alright, alright no need to play dirty!" Danny replied with a laugh and Greg heard him walk away.

Adam took his hand off the screen and sighed, running a hand through his hair "Sorry about that" he said with a look of embarrassment. "It's just Danny, he likes to be a jerk sometimes." He said with a roll of his eyes.

"Hey man I hear ya. My team members, Nick and Warrick, they pick on me like that all the time, but I know it's just 'cause they see me as a kid brother, they can be very overprotective too." Greg said. He was amazed by how much he and Adam could relate.

"Mmm that sounds like Danny and Hawkes, so you're the youngest of the bunch too huh?"

"Yep" Greg said with a smile. "The youngest, the nuisance, the one who just won't do as he's told sometimes. The crazy one…. I once danced around my lab in a burlesque dancer's headdress" he confessed and Adam laughed "ever since then I think they've all been a little more than concerned for me mentally."

"Man, we could have been separated at birth" Adam said with a laugh. "I've done some pretty crazy things myself" he said, and then for the next ten minutes they swapped stories of all the wild stuff they'd done on the job. Eventually, Greg's pager beeped.

"Shoot, that's the boss" he said regrettably. "He wants me to take a look at a Breaking and entering, I better go. Here…" he said typing something and then clicking send. "My email address"

"Hey thanks, it's been awesome talking to you" Adam said with grin "I'll keep in touch, and who knows, maybe we'll get the chance to work together someday"

"Sure I'd like that, you know if you ever need a DNA guy for anything just get in touch" Greg said with smile "Bye Adam"

"Bye Greg, good luck with your case" Adam said with a salute which Greg returned before closing his laptop.

"Who were you talking to?" Nick said entering the room after seeing the younger man on the web cam "a hot girl?" Greg rolled his eyes; he and Adam sure had a lot in common.

"No, just a new friend" Greg said with a smile before following Nick out the room.


So did I write Adam ok? I hope so he and Danny are just as good together and Nick and Greg I think :) Anyway let me know!
