Chapter Five: Not Much To Go On
Greg and Dawn had a get-together at their house after Warrick's funeral. Bobby, Nick, Grissom, Catherine, Brass, Wendy, Henry, Hodges, Archie, Dave and Doc Robbins were all there. Horatio, Calleigh and Eric had gone to try to find out whatever their could about McKeane. As of yet, the body found in the car had not been positively identified as McKeane.
"You know, honey," Greg started, "you never told me why you were in L.A."
She smiled and left the room for a second, returning with something in her hand. "Here."
"What's this?"
"Your answer." She said. "Put it in the player."
He got up and stuck the CD in the CD player. The music began to play and a female voice began to sing. "Is that you?" Greg asked, surprised.
"It is."
"You're a singer?" Catherine asked.
"Well, I did this CD as a favor to some friends of mine. They're making an independent movie and asked me to do the soundtrack."
"Did you write the songs too?" Wendy inquired.
"The lyrics, yeah, but not the music. I'm not that great at writing the music." She laughed.
"You have a very pretty voice, Dawn." Doc Robbins told her.
"He's in a band." Cath added.
"All of this CD is you, Dawn?' Hodges questioned.
"Yes, even the background vocals."
"Wow! It's almost like every song is a different style."
"It pretty much is. That's the way they asked me to do it."
"Do you Karaoke?" Wendy asked.
"I have, yeah."
"We should go sometime." Wendy told her.
"Yeah, we could do that. That would be cool." Dawn told the other woman.
Nick wasn't surprised to see that his little sister was already fitting in with the group. People always took to her really well. "Maybe we could all go sometime." Nick said.
Hodges thought that Nick was flirting with Wendy (which he wasn't) and got upset. "Nick, could I talk to you a second?"
"I meant all of us." Nick clarified (for Hodges' benefit). "The whole team." That seemed to calm Hodges down.
"Yeah, Nick's not a bad singer." Dawn said.
"What about you, Greg?" Cath asked.
"Uh, a little." Greg answered.
"Do you have any board games based on TV shows?" Hodges asked Dawn.
"Not here. A lot of my stuff is being shipped here from where I used to live."
"So, which ones do you have?"
"Buffy."
"That's it?"
"Well, no... of course I've got some based on some crime dramas. I don't think they made board games for most of the shows I watch or watched. Some of them need one, or at least a video game."

Horatio called Catherine. "Hello?" Catherine answered.
"Catherine, it's Horatio."
"Hey."
"I just wanted to let you know that we found some pieces of the car bomb that might lead us to a suspect. We're not sure yet. Something about it seems familiar, so I'm sending some stuff over to my lab in Miami. I'll let you know as soon as I find out anything more, but we really don't have a lot to go on yet."
"Thanks, Horatio. I have a feeling that someone bigger than McKeane was involved in this whole thing. Do we know yet if it was really him in that car?"
"Not yet. There wasn't much left of the body, so it might take a while longer. I'll keep you posted."
"Thanks." She hung up her phone. "That was Horatio. He said they haven't found out much, but he sent some stuff to Miami. He thinks there could be a connection there. He said he'd keep us posted." Catherine told Grissom.
"Okay, good. Let me know if you hear anything else."
"You'll be my first call."
Grissom smiled slightly. "Thanks."

"Greg," Archie said, "when are we gonna have some mini-Gregs running around?"
"Give them a break, Arch." Nick said. "They've not even been married a week yet." Everyone laughed.
"But, do you want kids, Greg?" Wendy asked.
Greg took Dawn's hand in his. "Yes, eventually." He answered. "We both do."
"Which would you rather have, a boy or a girl?" Bobby asked.
"Well, I want more than one. I'm an only child. I always wanted a sibling growing up."
"Well, now you sorta do." Wendy said.
"What?"
"Well, Nick." Wendy told him.
"Oh, right." Greg laughed.
"We have other brothers too." Nick told Wendy.
"There you go, Greg." Wendy said. "Do you want girls or boys?"
"Both." Greg said.
"I can see you with a little girl." Catherine said. "I bet she'd have you wrapped around her little finger."
Greg smiled. "Probably."
"What about you, Dawn?"
"What about me, Nicky?"
"Boys or girls?"
"Both."
"Just don't get pregnant too soon." Grissom said. "You start work next week."

-----------------
Sorry it took too long to get that chapter up. I was trying to decide what to do with it. I'll try to get the next one done soon. Does anyone know of any Miami character (villian that is) who could be connected to the Gedda/McKeane thing? I can't think of anyone. I could always make someone up if I have to, but I thought I'd ask just the same.
