Alright, thanks again to Goonie Girl, hope you like this.

Mandy.

Their Mandy.

She was slipping away.

The machine was beeping.

Faster and faster and faster.

That was not good at all.

It was very, very bad.

Their Mandy.

Mandy.

Henry rushed back into the room, breathless.

"Wendy! They have tests back!" he announced.

At least that was something.

"It's a a very rare disese. They're transferring her to the best hospital in the country." Henry continued.

"Where?" Wendy asked.

"L.A. California." Henry told her.

"We're coming too." Wendy said.

"Of course." Henry nodded.

"When?" Wendy asked.

"They're just going to make sure she's stable, then they'll fly us over." Henry explained.

"I'll text the others." Wendy offered.

"Kelly, Lexi, listen to this." Greg called.

"What is it?" Lexi asked, winking at him.

"Mandy's being moved to a hospital in California." Greg read from his phone.

"What?" Kelly asked, sitting down next to him on the sofa.

"L.A. She has some rare disease so they're taking her there for treatment." Greg explained.

"L.A. is so far away. How are we going to go visit her?" Lexi wondered, sliding up to the other side of him.

"I'll call the lab." Greg told them, getting up as quickly as he could, and running out of the room before either of them followed him.

Ten minutes later Greg returned.

"I've fixed it." he smiled.

"How?" Kelly asked, jumping up and rushing up to him.

"We're doing a transfer with the L.A. lab for two weeks." Greg told them.

"Transfer?" Lexi asked, stretching provocatively.

"Yeah, the whole shift is swapping with a shift from over there. It will be a good working experience and we can visit Mandy." Greg said, turning his head away from her.

"All of us?" Kelly asked, smiling at him.

"Techs and everything, even those three new girls." Greg nodded.

"I have to go pack!" Lexi exclaimed.

"I'll go tell Nick." Greg said.

"I'm coming too!" Lexi yelled.

"I thought you had to pack?" Kelly asked her.

"I can do that later." Lexi told her.

"If she's coming, I'm coming." Kelly told Greg.

"Why don't you girls go hang out with Ashley and Mackenzie?" Greg suggested.

"Why?" Lexi asked.

"They could use somebody to show them around the city." Greg said.

"But I wanna go with you." Kelly whined, batting her eyelashes.

"Me too." Lexi whined louder.

"Please?" Greg asked them, giving them puppy dog eyes.

"Okay." Kelly giggled.

"Sure." Lexi giggled.

"Thank you." Greg sighed.

Greg arrived to find Nick, Abby and Caitlyn sitting around a table. They had dark circles around their eyes, and Greg could see more than ten empty coffee cups around them.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

Nick explained to him what Caitlyn had been telling them all evening. It had started six months ago. Caitlyn had been getting notes. Never threatening, never violent. Just notes informing her that she was being watched. They were always typed, and put in envelopes with her name on them, never an addess. In the beginning they had just come through her letterbox, soon they were being placed in her hallway, on her coffee table, on top of her television, on her bed, in her kitchen, in her drawers. They often complimented something she was wearing, something new she had bought, or her hairstyle. They commented on what she had done that evening, who she had met, even on her friends activities. She had gone to the police, they had traced the letter, found no prits or DNA. They had put up surveilance cameras at her house, and seen nothing, except one minute there was nothing, then there was a letter there. Because the notes weren't violent or nothing had ever been stolen or moved from her house, the police had said it wasn't serious enough to continue. However, Caitlyn couldn't do anything without feeling like she was being watched. And now they had followed her to Vegas.

Greg pulled her up into a hug, and she wrapped her arms tightly around him and cried some more into his shoulder.

"Ssshhhh..." he whispered.

"Greg..." she whispered.

"Cait." Nick reminded.

"It's alright." she smiled at him.

"Nick, just because I accidentally slept with one girl who wasn't my girlfriend doesn't mean I will sleep with every pretty girl in a ten mile radius." Greg told his friend.

"You think I'm pretty?" Caitlyn asked him.

"You are unbelievably pretty." Greg told her.

"You're not too bad yourself." she laughed.

"Guys?" Nick warned.

"Nicky, calm down." Caitlyn laughed.

"Why don't me and Caitlyn go wash up these cups?" Abby suggested.

"Good idea." Caitlyn nodded.

As soon as they left, Nick turned to Greg. "That's my sister man."

"Can I not even flirt anymore?" Greg asked.

"This is why you have all these girls falling over you." Nick told him.

"Oh stop. That's so annoying." Greg groaned.

"You're not supposed to flirt once you have a girlfriend." Nick informed him.

"Where's the fun in that?" Greg asked.

"Greggo..." Nick laughed.

"You haven't called me that in a long time." Greg realised.

"Yeah, you're right." Nick agreed.

"I missed it." Greg smiled.

"I missed this. Us, hanging out." Nick told him.

"I miss it too. I miss a lot of things." Greg sighed.

"I miss all of us together." Nick added.

"Maybe California will be a fresh start." Greg suggested.

"California?" Nick asked.

"Oh yeah, that reminds me..." Greg begun.

"California?" Nick repeated.

"Girls? Come in here, I have something to tell you." Greg called.

"Mandy is being moved to L.A. for treatment, so the whole shift, new techs and everybody, we're doing an exchange with the L.A. crime lab. For two weeks." he explained.

"Back to California again?" Abby asked.

"That sounds pretty good right now." Nick smiled.

"I'll try and go alone." Caitlyn said.

"There was a helicopter last time you left. We'll just leave in a car, early in the morning. They won't see anything." Nick suggested.

"Where are we going to stay?" Abby asked.

"They said they have three houses? Four people in each. Two rooms in each. Right next to the hospital." Greg told them.

"Perfect." Abby grinned.

"So, you three together, and Mackenzie too? Hodges, Archie, Wendy and Henry. Then me, Kelly, Lexi, and Ashley." Greg suggested.

"That sounds good. Me and Abby will share a room, Cait, you can go with Mackenzie." Nick offered.

"Yes, then Hodges and Archie can share, Wendy and Henry can share." Greg explained.

"And which of your ladies will you be sleeping with?" Abby asked him.

"Kelly, obviously. Ashley and Lexi can have the other room." Greg told them.

"Perfect. Anything else we need to know?" Caitlyn asked.

"We leave tomorrow morning?" Greg told them.

"We better get ready." Nick realised.

"Me too. Would you mind contacting Archie actually? Because it's just..." Greg begun.

"I gettit. I'll call him and Hodges." Nick offered.

"You're going to be okay, right Caitlyn?" Greg asked her.

"Yeah. I'll be fine Greg." She smiled.

He went to hug her again, and when they pulled apart, Greg left. Seconds later, Caitlyn noticed something in her back packet. It was a handwritten note, in Greg's messy handwriting. Call me ;)

Less than thirty seconds later, Nick got a text from Greg. Just kidding.

They laughed.

So they were off to California, where it all begun.

Last time they had gone they were three blonde best friends, two smart brunette girls, a genius, shy guy, computer genius, his best friend the flirt, and his best friends other best friend, a CSI who hardly knew any of them.

But this time, there were a few changes, and three new girls.

Caitlyn. Practical, fun-loving. Stubborn when she wanted to be. She used to be constantly happy, always with a smile on her face. Now she stopped to look around her a lot, and was always scared, no matter where she was.

Ashley. Became a fingerprinting tech to meet hot guys in the police force. Giggled a lot. Had a thing for guys with spiky hair. Cheer captain in high school, slept in false eyelashes.

Mackenzie. Met Greg in the New York crime lab. Went out with him for a little bit, until he broke up with her because they just didn't have a spark. They stayed friends for a while, though Greg never quite understood how she passed her exams, because she was constantly calling her in for help with her ballistics.

They were going with a guy who had four blonde admirers, one of whom was suspposed to be his girlfriend, the other someone he had accidentally slept with, the other an ex girlfriend who had never quite gotten over him, the other a random blonde who had an obsession with ruffling his hair.

A guy from Texas who worried unatural ammounts, his girlfriend, an ex admirer of the first guy, and his sister, with a mysterious stalker.

An ex best friend of the first guy, and the self titled 'genius' that was sick of him following him around.

The girlfriend of the 'genius', and her best friend.

And his wife. In a coma.
