Summary – Greg runs into Adam at a conference in New York, and Adam is eager to give him a tour of the lab. CSI:NY Xover.

The Other Lab

Greg had always hated going to conferences. They reminded him too much of lectures in university, the majority of which could be very boring when you were as far ahead of the class as Greg was. He had enjoyed them at first, when he was a rookie, because he learnt a lot of new things about the job and was an avid note-taker, but now they seemed just to drag on.

This time though, Greg was visiting New York, hoping to run into one of his friends. Greg hadn't been back to New York since he'd lived there for a short stint, and he missed it terribly. It was a wonderful city, but now his heart lay with Vegas. Greg had agreed to go to this conference in hope of getting more sight-seeing done, rather than work.

Greg had just come out of one of the seminar halls, wondering what to do next, when he spotted a familiar, mischievous face from across the lobby. Adam Ross was chatting up a girl by the reception desk and she didn't look very impressed. Greg laughed as he watched Adam practically beg for the girl's number before she rolled her eyes and walked away.

Greg approached the New York lab tech from behind "See if that were a Vegas girl, you could have just offered a few shots and breakfast in the morning" he quipped.

Adam spun round and smiled at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Greg!" the lab tech exclaimed happily. They exchanged a quick hug. "It's so awesome we're finally meeting in person!" the two crime workers had met by chance over a chat rhoulelte website, and they had been emailing and video chatting ever since. They'd become good friends.

"Yeah, it's so good to see you" Greg said with a smile. "Are you here with someone?"

"Oh yeah, Mac sent me with Danny. I want to get out in the field more so they bring me to these things to 'gain more experience'" he said making quotation marks and rolling his eyes "Dude, I nearly fell asleep!"

"God, me too, I hate these things!" Greg said with a sigh "I only came for the free buffet"

"Right on" Adam agreed. "So, what else do you have planned whilst you're in New York?"

"Oh just visiting all the places' I use to love when I lived here" Greg explained "I gotta tell ya, I've missed the Big Apple."

"Yeah, but I bet Vegas is pretty sweet too, if you know what I mean" Adam said giving Greg a wink and a nudge. Greg just laughed. "Oh, you have to come back to the lab with me!" Adam said eagerly. "I'll give you the grand tour supreme!"

"Sure, sounds good" Greg said with a smile. The pair went to leave to building "Wait, don't you want to tell Danny you're leaving?" Greg asked.

"Nah, he'll figure it out. It's his job to notice stuff" Adam said dismissively and walked out Greg following with a smile. Adam was just as crazy in person.

Adam and Greg soon arrived at the lab. On the way they had discussed trivial things such as Vegas, girls, sports and what was new in New York.

"I'll show you my lab first" Adam said excitedly "oh, and by the way, if we run into any of my friends, ignore everything and anything they say about me" Adam warned. "Especially Mac"

"Got it" Greg laughed.

As the pair stepped out of the elevator, Greg was a little in awe. It looked so different to the lab back in Vegas. There was so much technology and equipment the CSI hadn't even seen before, maybe Greg wasn't as well educated as he thought. As Adam led him around the different rooms, Greg would ask questions about anything he didn't recognise and he was impressed with how much Adam could tell him, in such a professional manor after seeming so bouncy before. Greg supposed it was a lot like him in his lab days.

"Adam!" somebody called as the pair walked past the break room. A petite woman with short brown hair walked over and leaned in the doorframe. She was very pretty, in Greg's opinion. "Who's your friend?" she asked inquisitively.

"Oh this is Greg Sanders, the CSI from Vegas I told you about" Adam introduced. "Greg, this is Lindsay Messer. She's a CSI and Danny's wife."

"Nice to meet you" Greg said shaking her hand.

"You too, we've heard a lot about you" Lindsay said. "Adam, as if you haven't offered Greg coffee yet, what kind of host are you?! Come on Greg" she said turning into the room.

Adam rolled his eyes "Lindsay's like my big sister, she teases me a lot" he explained.

As they followed the New York CSI into the room, Greg was greeted by another woman. She was a little older than Lindsay, but still with a face of kindness. Adam went to make them coffee.

"So, you're the infamous Greg Sanders!" she said getting up from her seat and shaking Greg's hand. "I'm Jo Danville, one of Adam's bosses"

"Nice to meet you... And it seems you already know me" Greg said feeling a little embarrassed. What had Adam been saying about him exactly? "I hope Adam has said only good things."

"He talks like you've been friends since you were kids" Jo said with a wink. "Take a seat! Tell me about being a CSI in Vegas."

So, the three New Yorkers sat around the table listening to Greg talk about life in the notorious Sin City, when two men entered the room.

"Who's this?" One of the men asked. He looked very tough in Greg's opinion, wore a fairly stern look similar to that of Brass's.

"You're a cop" Greg blurted out before he could stop himself "You all have that same suspicious look."

"I told you he was good" Adam said to Lindsay. "Guys, this is Greg Sanders" the lab tech stressed. "Greg, this is Detective Don Flack and CSI Sheldon Hawkes."

"No way!" Hawkes said sounding surprised. Flack looked equally as shocked. Greg was just confused by this reaction.

"He's real" Flack breathed.

"Excuse me?" Gre laughed.

"Well, just because they hadn't seen you before, they thought you weren't real" Adam explained flatly. "They thought I had an imaginary friend"

"It is the sort of crazy thing you would fathom, Adam" Hawkes pointed out. "Sorry though"

"Well, I can confirm I'm real" Greg said getting up to shake the men's hands. "And actually, I've heard quite a lot about you two" he smiled.

"Whatever he said we did to him, we didn't" Flack quickly defended.

Greg laughed "Nothing like that!" he reassured them.

Eventually, the CSI's and the detective had to get back to work, so Adam continued the tour. They were in the AV lab when Danny came storming up to them.

"Adam!" he exclaimed "Why didn't you tell me you'd left?" he asked angrily.

"I'm sorry Danny, I didn't think you'd mind" Adam said innocently.

"I thought something might have happened to you!" Danny replied.

"Why Danny, do you…care about me?" Adam teased. Greg smiled; this was just like himself and Nick.

"No" the CSI said stubbornly crossing his arms.

Adam sighed and rolled his eyes. "I was bored and I bumped into Greg, so I brought him to take a look round"

"So, you're the hot girl Adam has been talking to" Danny said with small smile. The first time Adam and Greg had talked over the computer; Danny had been convinced the Vegas CSI was a girl Adam wanted to keep secret.

"I guess so…the hot part most definitely" Greg joked.

Danny laughed "it's nice to finally meet you"

"You too" Greg replied. Adam had told him a lot of stories about him and Danny teasing each other, but they were good friends really.

Suddenly, Adam's pager beeped. "Mac wants to see me" he explained. "Come on Greg, you can meet the boss!"

The lab tech led Greg to a quiet corner of the lab, where a stern looking man was sat at his desk, looking over a file. Adam had explained even though Mac may appear intimidating at first, he was really great once you got to know him. Greg couldn't help but be reminded a little of Grissom.

"Hey boss, you wanted to see me?" Adam announced his presence.

"Yes" Mac Taylor said looking up. He looked at Greg. "Adam?" he questioned.

"This is my friend Greg Sanders" Adam explained. "He's a level three CSI in Las Vegas. He was here at a conference, so I thought I'd show him how we do things over here."

"Oh, well it's nice to meet you Mister Sanders" Mac said standing up from his desk so they could shake hands. "Now Adam, I need you to take another look at these DNA results for me, something just doesn't sit right. I think our tech messed up"

"I don't know Mac, I'm not very good with DNA" Adam said sheepishly.

"Could I take a look sir?" Greg asked. "DNA is actually my field of specialty. I worked as a DNA tech for 5 years before I was a CSI"

"Oh yeah, Greg's like the best DNA analyst in the country!" Adam said eagerly.

"I don't know about that" Greg blushed.

"Don't be modest Greg" Mac said with a small smile "Adam certainly isn't when it comes to his work" he joked. Adam rolled his eyes. "Sure, take a look. I could use an expert opinion."

Greg studied the file intently for a few moments, whilst Adam and Mac waited patiently. "I think I see the problem" the Vegas CSI finally spoke. "May I use your lab?"

"No problem" Mac said "If you think you can help the case, we've been stuck for a while now"

"This way" Adam said, leading Greg to the DNA room.

The New York tech watched intently as Greg re-did some of the tests and Adam filled him in on the details of the case. Luckily, a lot of the technology in this particular lab Greg did recognise after frequently using it himself.

Finally he printed off a new set of results and showed them to Adam "Positive matches" Greg grinned.

"Alright!" Adam said excitedly. "I knew you'd do it, show off. Let's go show Mac"

The two returned back to the supervisor's office and Mac studied the new results. He seemed very impressed "Wow Greg, looks like you've cracked the case for us."

"Just doing my job" Greg said.

"But you don't work here" Adam pointed out. "How are we supposed to pay you?"

"Erm, this one's on the house" Greg laughed. "Although, maybe if Mac was willing to put in the good word with my supervisor, that could help me get the lead in some more cases."

"Consider it done" Mac said with smile. "Thank you very much Greg" he said, before leaving to go talk to the cops.

"So, all my team members seem to like you" Adam said happily.

"And I like them too" Greg said. "You know, you should come to Vegas soon and meet mine"

"Really? I would love to go to Vegas" Adam replied eagerly.

"We'll arrange it" Greg promised. "Now, what do you recommend I go see next?"

Hehe, this was quite fun to do, I think Adam and Greg would be great friends! XD Maybe I'll do one were Greg meets Ryan, my favourite CSI: Miami character :)

I'm getting through these prompts, it's awesome what you guys can come up with! I would love some more :D

Please Review :) Xx
