"So what time is your flight?" Nick stretched his hands above his head and
settled into more comfortable position on the bed.
"14:30, so you better be up by ten."
"Ten? You have something to do before leaving?"
"Definitely. I`m gonna be in the away for five days, I wanna catch up before leaving."
Greg grinned and stroked Nick`s chest, tickling his nipples on the way.
"Sounds good to me." Nick smirked. "Is Marone going on the same flight?"
"Nick, two things... Never mention him, when I`m feeling amorous, and secondly, the
first day of the seminar is just for level one CSI`s. He`s gonna come there one day later."
"Okay.. So are you gonna contact old friends while your there?"
"I lived in New York for less than a year, I don`t have that many buddies there. Most
of those people I knew, have moved somewhere else. There`s one guy though that
I think is still there. We talked on the phone some time ago, when we had dealings
with the missing persons department."
"A fed?"
"Don`t hold it against him. He`s a great guy."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Martin shut the file he was reading and glanced over to Danny`s workstation. He had
been talking to his cell phone for at least thirty minutes. It was a well known fact that
Danny could hold up a conversation all by himself, but now it seemed that there was
another one just like him on the other end of the line. Danny`s left hand was moving
constantly, apparently compensating for the right one, that was holding the phone.
Martin`s eyes became, once again, fixated on his lips. They looked soft and inviting,
and obviously their owner knew how to use them. Finally, it looked like Danny was
about to finish the call, and snapped the phone shut.
"Making personal calls during working hours?"
"It`s not like we have anything better to do right now." Danny leaned back in his chair.
"Pal of mine is coming here for a seminar, I`ll pick him up from the airport tomorrow."
"What kind of a seminar?"
"Some CSI thing they are having here, the New York crime lab is organizing it."
"So your friend`s a CSI."
"He is now. When he lived here was a DNA tech, used to work in the crime lab. He
got a job offer from Vegas and moved there." Danny twirled a pen with his fingers and
looked at Martin from under his eye lashes. "You gonna go to Viv`s celebrations
tomorrow?"
"It`s hardly a celebration." Vivian shut the door to Jack`s office behind her and walked
to her own desk. "It`s just drinks with the team. I`m too old to celebrate any more
than that."
"Maybe you could bring your friend along." Martin suggested to Danny. As much as he
hated to admit it, he was curious about the guy. Danny seemed to be pretty exited,
and considering the usual level of Danny`s exitement, that was really something.
"Why not, if he feels up to it after the flight." Danny smiled. "You`ll love him."
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Nick shook himself awake and reached over to the nightstand and grabbed his cell
phone. "Stokes."
"Hey."
"Hey babe. Did you land already?"
"Yeah, my flight was actually here ahead of schedule. I`m waiting for my ride.
You still sleeping?"
Nick laughed. "Not anymore."
"Good, I left you something to keep you entertained while I`m gone. Open my
nightstand drawer."
Nick opened the drawer and pulled out a packet. "What is it?"
"Open it."
He pulled of few pieces of tape and raised the lid. "Greg..."
"You know what it is?"
"Yes, I know what it is, but I can`t understand why you wanted to give
me a dildo."
"Does it look familiar to you?"
"Yes Greg, I see one of those every time I go to the bathroom."
"Your missing the point. It`s modeled after me."
"What?"
"I bought one of those do-it-yourself- kits and did a mold for that based on
my very own pride and joy."
"And you left it for me to play with."
"Yep, don`t hurt yourself with it. I think my ride`s here, I`ll call you later.
Have fun!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"We`re here." Danny and his friend marched to the booth and sat down. "Greg, these
are my team members, Jack Malone, Sam Spade, Martin Fitzgerald and birthday girl
herself, Viv Johnson. Everyone, this is Greg Sanders."
A waitress brought Greg a beer and a club soda for Danny and both dived into the
conversion. Martin had been right with his guess, Greg and Danny were both just as
talkative. They also shared their tendency to use big gestures, causing some minor
problems with the glasses on the table. Conversation turned to Greg and how he and
Danny knew each others and both started talking again, mostly at the same time.
Martin could only lean back in the booth and let the wave of babble waft over him.
Danny and his friend were sitting there, very close to each other, and neither one of
them seemed to mind. Martin looked at them and grinned his teeth. There was
something about this picture, that he didn`t like at all.
