CHAPTER 1

"Hey! Warrick,"

Warrick stopped, scanned the paperwork for the last time before tuning his head just in time for Nick to approach. "Hey man,"

"Anything new?"

"Well, Grissom called, he and Brass are interrogating Sean Lewis," he continued walking and Nick followed.

"Think he's our guy?"

"They seems certain about it, I'm pretty sure as well, evidence says it all," Warrick holds up the file, after re-reading the contents, everything fits. "I'm pretty darn sure it's him,"

Nick chuckled, "He'll probably try and deny it,"

"Ah… he better not," Warrick entered the break-room, Nick behind him sat down on the counter chair watching as he pour some coffee out of the espresso.

"You know coffee can actually kill us," Nick stated, starting a random topic.

"Doesn't matter, we're practically zombie," taking a sip, he placed the file on the counter, they stayed up all night to solve this case, he glance at his watch, 12 noon and he still hadn't got any sleep.

"Isn't it ironic, how we need coffee to help us with our work, finding criminals and all that when the coffee itself is slowly killing us,"

Warrick stared at Nick and smiled, "Ho-kay Dr Stokes, but maybe Mr. Sanders there need some of the poison,"

Nick turned his head, Greg was with them in the room, sleeping on the one-seat sofa, head tilted to his left shoulder, arms folded, legs on the coffee table, he looked weary and Nick knows they only got less than eight hours before the next shift start, and that is if Sean Lewis didn't try to waste more of their time.

Nick turned his head back to Warrick, "Do you think we should wake him up?"

Warrick feels sorry for Greg, the youngest CSI looked exhausted, in fact he noticed he has been tired even before they started the case, at least the rest of the team came in fresh and ready.

"I don't know," was the reply, he didn't want to interrupt his sleep, but it's better to let him rest home before the next shift start. "He needs rest,"

"Yeah," stated Nick, "He needs those," Nick looked back at Greg, there's no word from Grissom yet but they can handle the rest, and Greg could use the full eight hours of rest away from work.

Nick was about to wake him up when Catherine Willows walks into the room.

"WE'RE DONE!"

Both Nick and Warrick was startled, Greg didn't seem to move.

Catherine looked at both of them before realizing Greg was there "Oh… sorry," she smiled and felt silly.

The three of them smiled and laugh a bit, not too loud to disturb Greg.

Catherine looked at Greg, same like Nick and Warrick, she thought Greg looked weary and he should be home resting "Grissom said the guy pleaded guilty,"

"Great! Just about time," Warrick took another sip of coffee and sat down.

"You guys can go home if you want, I'll take care of the paperwork,"

"Thanks Cath," Warrick gave a smile to Catherine and turn his head to Greg. "We'll need to wake him up, he looks awful,"

Catherine turns her attention to Greg, she walked up to him and the "mother" side comes out of her, "Greg, sweetie wake up," she gently stroke his hair and felt his warmth.

Greg jolts his head by the touch, slowly his eyes open and a familiar room comes into sight.

Catherine sat next to him by the arm-rest of the sofa as he watched Greg wakes up, both his hands to his face as he tries to clear his mind.

"You okay?" asked Nick.

Greg sat up and slowly pulls his legs down from the table. "Eh…"

"Honey, the case is done, get some rest," Catherine looked at Greg, concerned, "You should go home and get some sleep,"

Greg, having a slight headache and feeling drained didn't argue, "Thanks," he smiled weakly, he slowly got up and gave both Nick and Warrick the "bye" hand signal.

Nick smiled back, glad that Greg doesn't have to stay when he's already tired.

"Bye man," said Warrick.

"Just come back here by eight," Catherine reminded him.

"Sure thing Cath," and Greg went out the door, somehow he felt something was missing.
