Kelsey's P.O.V.
"Let's find the bastard then." Catherine spat, eyes burning with fury.
My mouth fell open, that definitely wasn't what I expected. "Wha..."
"Oh come on Kelsey, Did you really think that we would think of you any differently because you happen to have a stalker?" Warrick questioned, looking at me expectantly.
"Well...Kind of." I muttered sheepishly, rubbing the back of my neck.
Catherine and Warrick both chuckled lightly at me. "It wouldn't be the first time one of us has been in this situation. Nick had a stalker a couple of years ago." Catherine explained looking at me warmly.
I exhaled a breath I didn't know I was holding. At least they weren't going to treat me like some helpless little girl. "Thank you guys."
"No problem, baby girl." Warrick smiled brightly at me before wrapping me in a his warm embrace.
There wasn't anything romantic about it, it was just two friends hugging but I couldn't help but give Gil a 'What am I supposed to do' look. He gave me a warm smile in return before turning to Catherine. I stepped back from Warrick as he explained to her what he wanted done.
"Look for any fingerprints or DNA. Be careful with the letters, and the boxes. You never know he might of accidentally slipped up and cut himself, or spit and didn't mean to." He stopped only to hold up a hand when Catherine opened her mouth. "I know Cat, I know you know how to do your job but I'm just going over it. Okay?"
Catherine nodded giving Gil a little smirk, no doubt about the compliment he gave her. He looked over at Warrick. "I want you to get DNA from the hearts and try to figure out who they belong to."
"Alright." Warrick said, nodding his head in respect. He knew this was serious to me...and to Grissom.
"Get to work then." With that Grissom walked out of the room and down the hall, headed towards his office would be my bet.
Catherine turned to me a knowing grin graced on her lips. "When did y'all make it official?"
I tried to keep my face as straight as possible. "I don't know what you're talking about."
Warrick snorted. "Bullshit. I could tell from his face. You think I missed the smile he sent you when I was hugging you? Or the look you sent him?"
My eyes widened. "Is it really that obvious?"
They both shook their heads. "Only to those who know you two the best."
"Kinda like with you two?" A third voice asked.
All three of us snapped our heads to the door. Shit. Gil wasn't going to be happy about this.
"Conrad." I said pasting on a fake smile.
"Kelsey." He replied smiling back.
"It's nice to see you after all this time."
He opened his arms. "It sure is. How's your mom doing?"
I walked into his arms gave him a hug before stepping back to answer his question. "She's fine. Asks about you a lot."
His eyes crinkled as they so often do when he smiles. "Really? Well I'll have to give her a call."
I nodded. "She would like that."
He gave me one last smile before turning back into business mode. "No about the relationships going on in this team.."
I stepped back to stand with Catherine and Warrick to wait for him to say that we would have to split up. However it never got that far.
"Conrad if you say anything about splitting us up. I will quit and then you can take it up with the Sheriff." Gil stated as he walked into the room to stand beside me.
"Grissom..You know I can't ignore this." Ecklie stated giving him a exasperated look.
Gil's eyes hardened. "You can and you will unless you want me to quit."
"Don't threaten me Gil. It won't end well."
"Oh will you two shut up? No one needs to do anything. You have a problem with my relationship? Fine. I quit." Catherine bluffed grabbing Warrick's hand.
Warrick followed her lead. "Me too."
"Us too." Grissom stated looking at me smirking as he wrapped his arms around me.
Conrad's eyes widened. "All of you are quitting?"
We all nodded in unison. "Us too!" Two new voices stated as they walked in to stand behind us. Nick and Greg. I smiled at them as they passed.
"Hey! You can't quit without me!" Brass yelled as he too walked into the room, giving me a small wink as he passed.
"David! Pack our bags! We are quitting!" Doc Robbins yelled from outside the room.
"WOW! WOW! WAIT! No ones quitting!" Conrad exclaimed.
"Why wouldn't we?" Brass asked sweetly.
"Because I won't report any of you about your relationships. Just don't quit. We can't lose all of you." Ecklie begged.
"Okay." Gil stated simply before giving me a quick kiss on the forehead, dropping his arms and walking out the door. Slapping Conrad on the back as he went.
"You all are going to kill me." Conrad muttered before walking out the door.
The room was deafening silent before I felt a laugh escape my lips, and it seemed like everyone else couldn't help but laugh either. Who knew Conrad would fall for that? The more I thought about it the harder I laughed. Soon enough I had tears running down my cheeks and my side hurt so much I could hardly breath.
"Kelsey?" I looked up and saw Gil looking down at me with a smirk planted on his face.
"W-What?" I laughed out.
"We have to get back to work. You know, will a serial killer to catch and all." He explained raising an eyebrow at my behavior.
I immediately sobered up. "Did you just crack a joke?"
He nodded a smile slipping itself onto his lips. I smiled back. "Let's go then. Before you start cracking more, Mr. Grissom."
"What's wrong with my jokes Miss. Thomas?"
I walked closer to him and stood on my tip-toes before whispering in his ear. "They're terrible baby."
I felt him stiffen before taking my hand and leading me down the hall and into his office. As soon as the door was closed and locked, I found myself pressed against the door.
"W-what are you d-doing Gil?" I whispered.
"You tempt me every possible second I'm with you." He muttered against my neck as he planted hot opened mouth kisses on my neck.
I moaned. "Gil.. We are at work."
"So?" He asked his voice strained.
I pulled his head up, cupping his face in my hands I brought his lips to mine. issing him with as much love and passion I felt in that moment.
"I love you." He whispered against my lips.
"I love you too." I pulled back to breath. "But we can't do this here."
"Why?" He asked puzzled slipping his hands up my shirt and nuzzling his face into my neck.
"B-Because for what I have planned, We'll need hours." I told him huskily.
He groaned pulling my closer to him if that was possible. "Honey you're killing me."
Chuckling lightly, I pulled away from him. "Sorry baby."
He pouted at me. "Can I at least have one more kiss?"
I smiled brightly at him before giving him a light peck on the lips.
"That isn't what I was talking about dear." He growled playfully before pulling my lips back to his and kissing me with such an intensity it made my knees weak.
I pulled back cling to him. He was the only thing keeping me up right. "We need to go home. Now."
He moaned. "We can't honey. I wish we could." He said in a strained voice.
"During break?" I asked kissing the side of his neck.
"Wouldn't miss it for the world. Now go sit on the couch before I attack you." He whispered giving me a Sweet kiss.
"Yes sir." I teased.
