Chapter 4

Nick continued to smile as Greg let Morgan go from his arms. The younger CSI felt a blush appearing on his cheeks, but he tried to act calm as he quickly unlocked his car and opened the door. Nick gave them a wide grin. "Looks like you didn't need any help at all!"

"Greg, look!" Morgan completely ignored Nick, but pointed at something on the ground. Greg immediately saw what she meant: the ground around the car was covered with footprints, all made by a bear…

"It must have gotten closer when the fire went out," he softly said to her. He saw her shiver, which he couldn't blame her for. The thought of a bear being that close to them while they had been asleep wasn't exactly a nice thought for him either. He fought the urge to hug her, though, and whisper something reassuring in her ear now that Nick was watching them. Instead, he just gave her a little smile and then returned his attention to the footprints on the ground around his car.

"Yeah, that bear is all taken care off."

Surprised, they looked up, only noticing Brass standing a few feet away from the car now. He took a step closer and explained it: "The bear was part of a circus. His trainer took it out here to learn a new trick, except the bear decided the new trick was going to be killing his trainer. She is the dead body found in the cabin about twenty minutes south of here. Sara and Finn already solved that case, just if you two were wondering. Lana Everett was found safely and the bear was put down after they realized he was the one responsible for killing his trainer. Sara even had a big fuss about it as she didn't want the bear to be put down."

Neither Greg nor Morgan said anything, both processing what they had just heard.

"I guess you were right," Morgan finally said. Greg looked at her, not understanding what she meant.

"That there aren't any bears around here," she explained. He managed a small smile. "Yeah, I guess I was."

He hadn't forgotten yet how scared he had been last night when he saw that bear or how scared Morgan had been of course. He would never forget the look she had given him after he had told her about it.

"How did you find us?" Morgan asked Nick, changing the subject.

"Well, when Russell got that call from you, he could only make out that you guys were lost, so he figured you had called to say you were going to be late at the crime scene," Nick started telling them. "When you guys still hadn't shown up two hours later, he decided to try and trace the call. It wasn't easy, but he finally managed to find the area you could be in. A police helicopter then checked the area and saw a small fire next to a car. We knew it was your car, but getting here was a bit of a challenge. How on earth did you guys end up here? It's almost impossible to get up here! How distracted were you when you were driving?"

Greg faked a smile before simply telling the wide grinning Nick: "Shut up."

"Alright, alright, let's keep it friendly!" Brass interrupted them. "You two have been found, you seem to be okay, but just to be safe, I'm sending you two to a hospital."

"What? No!" they both protested.

"I said: I'm sending you two to a hospital," Brass repeated. "No questions, no discussions, I'm just sending you, understood? There's an ambulance just a little further down the road, it'll take you."

"We're f…" Morgan started, but seeing Brass's strict look, she stopped right there.

"I'll see if I can drive the car back," Nick said.

"Good luck with that," Greg replied. "Do you think we'd still be here if I had been able to drive it back?"

"Well, you never know!" Nick said with a big grin. Greg just turned his back to his friend and started walking towards the ambulance with Morgan.

"I thought you said it was Finn's idea that we needed some alone time?" she murmured. Greg looked back at his grinning co-worker.

"Yeah, I did think so," he murmured back. "I just meant the Finn with short dark hair and an annoying grin on his face right now!"

Just outside the ambulance he stopped and looked at Morgan. "What if he took pictures of us sleeping before he knocked on the window? They're going to be all over CSI within minutes!"

"Well, first of all: there's hardly any cell phone reception here, remember? He won't be able to send any photos, if he already took them, until he's back at CSI," Morgan reminded him. "And secondly: Sara and I once walked into the breakroom when he was asleep on the couch, his mouth wide open and snoring rather loudly. Sara made a video and took a picture… which she gave me a copy of on my phone. If Nick dares to post any pictures of us, I'll gladly take revenge!"

Grinning, Greg got into the ambulance with her. He wouldn't say it out loud, but he really loved her right now!

At the hospital, they were both sent to a different room to be examined. Apart from that they were hungry and thirsty, they were completely fine and their doctors decided they could go home again without any medication or further check-ups.

"I could have told them that before we got here!" Morgan said after she had asked Greg what his doctor had said.

"Brass probably just wanted to be safe," Greg defended the captain's decision to send them to the hospital. Morgan smiled at him. "Yeah, I understand. Better safe than sorry, right?"

"Right."

An awkward pause fell. Greg pushed his hands into the pockets of his jeans, feeling very insecure all of a sudden. Was he supposed to bring up the fact that they had kissed now? One of them had to, he knew that, so it might as well be him.

"Look, Morgan, about what happened…" he started. She didn't let him finish, she just stepped forward and kissed him.

"Whatever you wanted to say, this is how I feel about it," she said. "I kissed you because I wanted to, not because of the situation we were in. And I certainly don't think it was a mistake."

He smiled at her, a little shy. "That wasn't what I was gonna say. I was gonna say: it wasn't exactly a real date, so maybe we could plan a real one sometime soon… You know, dinner and a movie…"

"Well, we did agree to watch a horror movie together," she remembered with a small nod. His smile became a little bigger. "So it's a date then?"

She gave him an even bigger smile. "It's a date! Just… let's not watch that movie I told you about in the car, okay?"

"Yeah, that's probably a good idea!" he agreed with her. Smiling he put his arms around her waist as she wrapped hers around his neck. This time he knew she was the first to kiss him, but he happily responded. It might have been a night full of fears, but thanks to his broken car and messed up navigation system he was finally together with the girl he had fallen in love with the moment she walked into LVPD.
