Slow Days
"That's the last straw!" exclaimed Gil Grissom as he stormed from his office. He had just noticed the some of the jarred specimen in his office had been replaced by foam dinosaurs. The kind that grow when you put them in water.
"What's wrong?" asked Catherine as the supervisor entered the break room looking ticked.
"Every time we have a slow day all hell breaks lose!" he said pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"I've never heard of any of them doing anything that's more than annoying"
To prove his point he walked her to his office and pointed out the multi-colored objects floating where you would normally find much more disgusting things.
"Oh no they messed with the bugs…" she said in shock.
She was fine with the jokes but she never thought they'd go as far as hiding Grissom's bugs.
"So Gil what exactly are you planing on doing?" she asked almost afraid of what he might say.
He was silent for a moment before answering simply "Making list"
He sat at his desk and said "Tell everyone to met in the break room in twenty minutes please."
"Ok just promise you won't do anything crazy like attack them with roaches."
"Don't worry that would be worse for the roaches"
She looked at him for a moment before heading to tell the others about the meeting Grissom had called.
Twenty minutes later Catherine, Nick, Sara, Warrick, and Greg had all gathered in the break room.
"This isn't about what we did to Ecklie's lunch is it?" Nick asked cautiously.
"No" answered Grissom as he walked through the door "But I'll add it to the list"
"What list?" questioned Sara.
"The list of lab rules" he said as he wrote something on a piece of paper "Every time we have a slow day this place turns into a zoo and I'm putting an end to it"
He then stuck the paper to the fridge with a magnet and left.
In a flash the five remaining CSI were gathered around the list.
Additional Lab Rules1.Don't tamper with the property of others. (Especially the supervisor's)
2.Don't mess with food unless you want to pay someone's medical bill.
"Ok who touched the man's bugs?" Warrick asked.
"I thought he'd like the dinosaurs" Greg said trying to sound innocent.
"Yeah well Greg he didn't and now there's nothing left to do on slow days but paperwork" growled Nick while the entire room shuddered and the word paperwork.
"No exactly" said Sara with a grin "We just can't do the things Grissom puts on the list"
At this point her mischievous grin be came contagious.
Catherine was the only exception as she exited the room while saying, "I wish you all the best of luck finding new jobs"
"You don't think he'd really fire us do you?" Greg asked.
"As long as no lasting harm is done we should be fine" answered Sara and she got up to leave.
"I hope she's right" muttered Nick before heading out the door with Warrick and Greg.
Ok this is my first attempt at a CSI story (that has more than on chapter that is) so please let me know what you think! I'm almost down with the second chapter so I'll get it up as soon as I can.
Thanks for reading!
