Wow! I’m happy this thread is active again! By the way, I am happy to finally “meet” you
luvingcsi and
ericloca, people here say a lot of things about you…Don’t worry, it is good things!
I’m Manuela, I’m new on talk csi. I’m Italian and I don’t speak English very well, so sorry for the mistakes!
Okay, the introduction is made! Let’s now celebrate with another of my long text! I spoke about Greg being upset and having a talk with Grissom, so there you are! I warn you it is my longest!
Another day without Sara, Greg was working in the DNA lab when Wendy arrived. He didn’t hear her, so she went slowly near him. She watched him, he wasn’t like ever and she knew why. Softly, she whispered:
Wendy: How are you, Greg?
Greg: *working* I’m fine, thanks.
Wendy: You’re sure?
Greg: Yeah, Wendy… I’m working, so if you could just don’t bother me…
Wendy didn’t leave and looked at him while he was working on a little hair of Catherine’s case.
Wendy: I miss her too, Greg…
Greg: I don’t know what you’re talking about …
Wendy: Of course, you know…
Greg: Sorry but I don’t…
Wendy: Come on, Greg! Sara, I miss her too… I know it’s hard for you and…
Greg: *cutting Wendy off*You don’t know anything!
Wendy: Sara is my best friend and I miss her a lot, so I know that for you it’s even harder…
Greg: Don’t speak about her!
Wendy: Greg, you should talk about that… You love her and...
Greg: *angry*I don’t want to talk about that, okay?! You don’t know anything! How can you speak about what I feel!?!?!
Wendy: Greg, calm down… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you upset…I just wanted to help you…
Greg: I don’t want your help, okay? So, leave me alone!
Hodges: *arrived* Sanders, what the Hell? You don’t need to shout when you’re talking! People are working; we’re not like you…
Greg: Shut up, Hodges!
Hodges: Wow, Mr Sanders is not in a good mood today… Does he miss his Sara?
Greg could stand anymore. He was upset and he punched Hodges in the face before leaving the room. He walked quickly through the lab when someone called him:
Grissom: Greg, in my office now!
Greg: *sigh* Great, it couldn’t be better!
Grissom: Take a sit…Okay, so I’d like to know why you punched Hodges…
Greg: He deserves that…
Grissom: It isn’t an explanation…
Greg: For me, it is…Can I go?
Greg: I already said why…I don’t have anything more to say...
Grissom: Sorry Greg, but it isn’t enough for me…You’re lucky, it could be Ecklie instead of me and he wouldn’t wait for an explanation...
Greg: I think I prefer Ecklie…
Grissom: Greg… I want to know why you’re so angry.
Greg: I don’t want to tell you…
Grissom: You don’t have the choice…An explanation or you’re fired…
Greg: *standing up* I think I am fired then…
Grissom: Come on, Greg! Don’t be so stupid! Sit down and tell me!
Greg sat down but didn’t say anything.
Grissom: I am not stupid, Greg… I know that since Sara’s leaving, you have changed…
Greg: *angry* So, why are you asking? If you already have your answer!
Grissom: I want to know why you’re so angry, Greg… You become angry even when I just say her name… Is it because of her, is it because of Sara?
Greg: *angry*It’s not her fault!
Grissom: I don’t believe you!
Greg: It’s not because of Sara! Leave her apart from that!
Grissom: I don’t believe you…Why are you yelling?
Greg: Because I said you the truth and you don’t believe me...
Grissom: It’s not true…You’re trying to hide something or maybe you’re protecting her…If it’s Sara’s fault, I understand your outburst…
Greg: *thinking* He’s trying to make me say the truth…He’s provoking me…
Grissom: You know, Greg… Sara is dangerous, especially for you…
Greg: * thinking* Calm down, man, you have to calm down…
Grissom: She’s like a black widow, she is…
Greg: *yelling* Don’t compare Sara to your stupid insects!
Grissom: Greg, it’s the truth…
Greg: No, it’s not the truth! Sara is not guilty at all! It’s my entire fault…
Grissom: Greg… You don’t have to lie for her!
Greg: I’m not lying! It’s the truth! Because…
Grissom: Because what Greg?
Greg: Because I love her…*thinking* Shit! Great, Sanders! You’re so damned stupid!
Grissom: *falsely desolate* I’m sorry, Greg…I didn’t know it…
Greg: Now you know! Can I go?
Grissom: Does Sara know?
Greg: She doesn’t need to know…
Grissom: I’m sorry, Greg…but she is going to marry me…
Greg felt like someone punched him in the stomach but he didn’t show that he was hurt.
Greg: Well, Congratulations, I think we say that to the future spouses… I have to go… I need to go home…
At home, Greg sat in his couch, hurt. His eyes were full of tears but they didn’t seem to want to fall. It was impossible! He loves her, how can she marry Grissom?! Suddenly, his phone rang and he wipes away the only tear that was running down his cheek.
Greg: Sanders…
???: Greg, it’s Sara!
Greg: *surprised* Sara?! How are you?
Sara: I’m fine, thanks…It should be me to ask to you that …Grissom told me…
Greg: Of course, he did…Should I say Congratulation to the bride?
Sara: *surprise*He told you?
Greg: Yeah… Don’t worry I’m not going to tell the other…
Sara: *annoyed*He shouldn’t have say that…I didn’t want to tell everybody, because I wasn’t sure it was what I wanted…By the way, I didn’t call to speak about me… I called for you, to catch your news… I’m worried about you…
Greg: I’m fine, Sara… I miss you…
Sara: I miss you too Greggo…Tell me what happened at the lab…
Greg: Grissom already told you…
Sara: No, he just said me you were upset…Tell me…I’m all ears…
Greg: It’s a long story…I don’t want you to waste your time with me… Moreover, it will cost you a lot this call…
Sara: Greg, I’m not going to waste my time… I can stay all my time speaking with you! I don’t care how much it will cost; I just want to be sure you’re okay… I miss you so much!
Greg: Yeah, me too…Working at the lab isn’t the same without you…I don’t like doing my job anymore…
Sara: Hey Greggo! Don’t say things like that! You’re good at what you do!
Greg could feel Sara smile through the phone and it made him smile too.
Greg: You made me smile again… You’re an angel, Sar’…
Sara: I’m happy to hear that, Greg… No, I’m not an angel… You will always be there for me, remember? It’s what you said…and I say you that I will be there too… I’m only keeping my promise. Remember every time I was down and you were there? You made me smile, you made me happy and now it’s my turn to help you… You’re down and you need me…and I’m here to make you smile…
Greg: Thank you so much, Sara… It means the world to me…
Sara: *smiling* Don’t mention it. Now, tell me what happened and I will help you all costs…
Greg: Okay… If you insist…
