Random Questions

Chapter One

It had been a slow shift. The city of Las Vegas seemed to be at peace for the night, resulting in the night shift having nothing to do but kill time.

Most of the labs were empty except for DNA where Greg and Warrick were having a conversation.

"What about flowers?" asked Greg "All girls love flowers."

Warrick smiled at Greg.

"Give it up, man. Sara only likes you as a friend. She always has."

Greg looked up at him from his chair at the table.

"Ah, so she does like me? Ha! I knew it!"

Warrick rolled his eyes at the younger man. He could be so pathetic at times.

"Not like that, Greg."

Warrick left the room with a sigh. 'I wonder if anything amusing is going on in the break room', he thought to himself.

In the break room, Sara, Catherine and Nick were having coffee while at the same time trying to come up with something to do to keep themselves amused.

Sara and Catherine both shared the couch while Nick stood near the coffee machine.

"How about truth or dare," Nick offered.

Catherine and Sara both looked up at him, neither one looking too thrilled about the offer.

"...just a suggestion," he mumbled, taking a sip out of his plastic cup.

Finishing her second coffee, Catherine threw her cup in the bin from where she sat and made another suggestion.

"What about random questions?"

Sara and Nick looked puzzled.

"What?" asked Sara.

"Random questions", Catherine repeated.

"It's not exactly a game, but more of just something to do. You ask random questions to random people. They can be anything."

Nick seemed to lighten up a little.

"Anything, hey?"

"Yeah. So Sara, are you in?"

Sara hesitated for a moment before slowly answering with a slow "ok".

"You too, Nicky?"

Yeah sure! I'm in." Nick walked over to the couch and pulled up a chair so that he was seated facing the two women.

Just then Warrick poked his head through the doorway.

"Hey. What's going on in here?"

"Hey, Warrick. We were going to ask each other random questions. For the hell of it, that is. Wanna join in?"

"Yeah, why not. Might as well," he said, unenthusiastically.

Warrick pulled up another chair next to Nick.

"So, Catherine..." Warrick began, but was interrupted by an over-enthusiastic Greg rushing into the break room at a fast pace.

"Hey, hey hey!! You're all doing something exciting without me?!"

Sara smiled and asked him;

"What makes you think we're doing anything exciting, Greg?"

Greg motioned to the four of them with his arm.

"The fact that you're all in a circle...square...thing and talking, that's what."

With a fake sympathetic look on her face, Catherine motioned for Greg to come and join them.

"So what are we talking about?" asked Greg.

"Not much," began Nick, "we were about to ask random questions to random people and true answers must be given. It's an attempt to fight boredom, okay Greg?"

The young lab tech looked at the four and casually nodded.

"Suppose it's better than staring at the wall all night."

"Great," said Sara, "so who wants to go first?"
