1. Must use the characters Catherine, Warrick, Nick, Sara, Greg and Grissom.
2. Any pairing (although YoBling is encouraged).
3. Must use the line “not my goodies”.
4. Must include a broken air conditioner; the break room; Blue Hawaiian coffee; ice cream; and a record breaking heat wave.
No slash and try and keep it PG-13. Have fun and be creative.
Las Vegas’ Killer Heat Wave
Catherine Willows, Warrick Brown, Nick Stokes and Sara Sidle all sat around the table in the break room waiting for Grissom to arrive with the evening’s assignment. Even though it was evening, the day had been an extremely hot one, hitting record temperatures.
“Know what? I won’t be at all surprised if there’s a guy that was killed by this heat.” Nick spoke quietly, gazing at the television at the other side of the room.
“Yeah, I second that.” Sara replied. “But, Nick? You should be used to this, you did come from Texas, remember?”
“I think day shift had a case like that…” Rick mumbled in the background.
“I don’ ever remember it being this hot before.” Nick huffed. “You ain’t kidding are you Rick?”
“If you make it through the night, ice cream is on me.” Catherine smiled before patting Warrick on the back. “And bring Tina. I think she’d like it too.”
“I think she might be at work at that time… I’ll see.” Rick replied before looking up at the break room door, seeing Grissom enter with a handful of assignment slips.
“Nick, Catherine, I want you two to go investigate a death at Devil’s Smile, take Greg with you-“
“No, not my goodies, Greg’s coming with me.” Sara piped up. “’Sides, he won’t live in the middle of the desert.”
Everyone gave Sara an odd look before Grissom handed her a slip. “Fine, you take Warrick as well and go to the strip, a death at a casino.”
“What about you Grissom?” Greg appeared at the door and looked at his supervisor, Blue Hawaiian coffee in hand.
“I’m going to do paperwork to get that broken air conditioner fixed. And Greg, drink cold water… Not coffee on a day like today.” Grissom moved past Greg to his office and left the 5 to disperse at will.
“Yeah, what he said Greg. You won’t live on coffee today.” Nick stood and motioned for Catherine to follow.
Soon after Nick and Catherine left, Sara, Warrick and Greg followed suit. “Oh just wait for the ice cream.” Warrick said before he laughed at Greg’s reply.
“What ice cream?”
Sara ruffled Greg’s hair teasingly before she said; “You’ll find out later.” And the three disappeared down the hall.
((Hah, pathetic attempt, huh? Took all of a half hour with minor interruptions.. It’s all I can do with my mind on neutral.))
