Chapter 3: Communication Breakdown
“Are you alright?” Archie asked Greg as they sat in the break room.
“I’m fine. Why do you ask?”
“I don’t know, you’ve seemed really different these last few days” Archie replied.
“It’s all good” Greg told him putting on a fake smile. Greg felt the vibrating of his phone in his jeans pocket. He picked it up and pressed the answer button. “Sanders.”
Greg sat silently for a few seconds waiting for the person on the other end to say something. “Hello.” Getting annoyed Greg hang up.
“Prank call” Archie said as he ate some of his salad. “I hate those.”
“Yeah” Greg agreed while trying to ignore the uneasy feeling that settled in his stomach.

“Why do you want Greg’s new address?” Sara asked Nick.
“Well it’s complicated” Nick replied. He had no idea how to say ‘Because I want to dust his window for fingerprints and swab for DNA.’
“I know you and Greg broke up. I can’t give you his address Nick” Sara said. She really didn’t want to take sides in all this especially since she wasn’t sure why things between them ended.
“Well I know you found out about us breaking up, how else did you know he moved” Nick replied. If Sara knew he cheated on Greg he would be a dead man right now so he must not have told her everything.
“He’s really upset. He’s trying not to show it but I can tell.”
“Listen Sara I need you to do me a favor. Since your not going to give me his address I want you to process his window. I’m not sure which one since I haven’t seen his place. One that someone could be standing outside of looking in on his living room” Nick said to her.
“Why would I do that?” Sara asked while giving him a strange look.
“He said that someone was watching him. Actually he thought I was, but it wasn’t me. He didn’t tell me much but I’m worried” Nick explained
“Greg’s being stalked” Sara said with shock.
“Well I’m not sure. As I said he didn’t give me details.”
“Are you sure you’re not over reacting?” Sara asked him.
“Maybe I am. But are you prepared to risk it?” Nick asked trying to appeal to Sara’s overprotective nature.
“I’ll talk to him about it. I’m not going to sneak over to his place and process his windows. And what we talk about will remain between him and I. Got it?” Sara asked.
“Okay” Nick replied uncertainly. He knew that if Sara brought this up Greg would know that Nick had been talking about him. He was certain that Greg would not like that.
“Good” Sara said as she gave him one last look before walking away.

“What’s up with Nick and Greg?” Catherine asked Warrick in the locker room.
“What do you mean?” Warrick asked trying to play dumb. He really didn’t want to be put in the middle of this.
“I haven’t seen them in the same room all week. Normally you can barely pry those two apart” Catherine explained. “I’m a CSI Warrick. I notice these things.”
“You should really ask Nick or Greg” Warrick told her.
“But there is something to ask about” Catherine established.
“I hope it’s not too serious. They’ve shown me there is such a thing as true love. I don’t want my happy dreams ruined.”
“God damn phone” Greg muttered as he walked into the locker room. He didn’t even bother greeting Catherine or Warrick as he opened his locker hard and slammed the door into the adjoining locker.
“Someone’s in a bad mood” Catherine commented. Greg just shot her an aggravated expression.
“What’s up Greggo?” Warrick inquired.
“Someone has been prank calling me all day. It’s getting so bad that I’m contemplating getting Archie to look into it” Greg answered in a gruff voice. “This has been one shitty week.”
“Hey” Sara said as she and Nick walked into the locker room.
“I’m so glad this day is over” Nick said with a yawn. He looked over at Greg and saw the younger man staring intensely at his shoes.
“Greg, next time your mystery caller rings just give the phone to Nick. He’ll sort it out” Catherine suggested. All she really wanted was to see Greg’s reaction to Nick being mentioned.
Greg grabbed his bag and slammed his locker shut. “Nick is the last person who I’d want to help me.”
“Someone in the dog house” Catherine said after Greg had left the room.
“You have no idea” Nick replied before leaving as well.
“Okay someone has to tell me what’s going on” Catherine said to Warrick and Sara who were both looking everywhere but at her.
“I have no idea” Sara said before walking out as quickly as possible.
“Alone again” Catherine tried to joke.
“Don’t look at me for answers” Warrick told her.
“I hate being out of the loop” Catherine complained. She knew it was none of her business but she was really curious.
“You and Greg are close, ask him” And that was the last thing Warrick said to her on the subject.
______________________________________________
Nick strolled slowly through the supermarket aisle’s feeling even more depressed. He had always hated grocery shopping. But when he and Greg had started food shopping together the whole experience had changed for him. Greg could make anything fun even something as mundane as picking out apples.
Nick found himself placing things like noodles and Coco Puffs into his basket. Things that he didn’t even like but Greg loved. He hadn’t even been aware of it. He was just so used to buying for him and Greg now, he automatically grabbed certain items. Once he had caught onto what he was doing he contemplated placing the items back on the shelf but couldn’t bring him self to do it.
He knew he was being ridiculous. The stuff would never be eaten and it was a waste of money. But the fridge just wouldn’t look right without Greg’s preferred foods in it. Nick didn’t know if this was a normal reaction to breaking up with someone that you had been with for so long. This was the first time he had actually loved someone when the relationship ended. This was the first time Nick had loved anyone at all.
“Nick Stokes” A voice said from behind him. Nick turned around to see Logan looking at him. “How are you?”
“Fine” Nick answered through gritted teeth. He really wasn’t in the mood to deal with Logan right now.
“I heard about you and Greg. So sad” Logan told him but Nick could tell he didn’t mean it.
“It was nice seeing you” Nick said wanting to end this conversation.
“Nice seeing you too. I might go visit Greg tonight. See if he needs some comforting.”
“And I’m sure you would love to do that comforting” Nick said in an agitated voice. He knew Logan was trying to press his buttons and that he should just ignore him instead of letting it get to him.
“Well who wouldn’t? I mean as you know, Greg is a very attractive guy.”
“Stay away from him” Nick blurted out. He didn’t have the right to say it but he could tell Logan was bad news. Greg didn’t need the drama of this horn dog hitting on him right now.
“Nicky, you are in no position to be telling me what to do. Besides I’m not the one that fucked another guy when you’ve got a fucking unbelievably gorgeous man waiting at home” Logan said snidely.
“I’m a CSI Logan. I know how to hide the body” Nick replied. He was being immature but he really didn’t care.
“I’m so scared” Logan said sarcastically. He laughed as he walked away from Nick.
Nick stood there fuming for a few minutes before finally moving along himself. He still couldn’t understand why Greg was friends with a guy like that. His suspicions about Logan wanting Greg were also now confirmed. He almost felt like calling Greg and saying ‘ha. Told you so’ but he figured that wouldn’t go down all that well.
____________________________________________
“Stokes” Nick answered his phone, which had just woke him up from an incredible dream that involved him, Greg and a whole lot of whipped cream.
“What the hell do you think your doing?” Nick heard a very angry Greg shout.
“What?” Nick asked confused; he was still half asleep.
“Telling Sara my window needs to be processed. Stop talking about me to other people Nick!”
“I’m worried about you Greg. And what was Catherine talking about today?” Nick asked while remaining calm. He re-called earlier Catherine mentioning a mystery caller.
“What’s going on with me Nick, is no longer your business” Greg replied sounding less mad, Nick could tell he was trying to control himself.
“I care about you.”
“Well you couldn’t have cared about me that much when you were ramming your cock up someone else’s ass” Greg said.
“Jesus Greg. I know what I did was wrong but you’re acting as though I’m the only one who fucked up. I seem to recall some shitty things coming out of your mouth earlier that night” Nick was getting annoyed.
“We had a fight Nick. But we were still together, me being an ass doesn’t give you an excuse to go get some.”
“You told me that being with me was the worst mistake of your life Greg, that you didn’t love me. Do you know how much that fucking killed me? I was devastated, and yeah I made a mistake. But I’m so bloody sick of you acting like you’re the only one who has the right to be angry” Nick told him furiously. “You did more than just be an ass. You were acting like the biggest dick.”
“Fuck you!”
“Been there done that” Nick said childishly. The second time in one day, Nick was beginning to think he was reverting back to being a teenager. Instead of staying composed he was saying stupid things to anyone who irritated him.
“Yeah you care” Greg voice was laced with sarcasm as he hung up the phone.
Nick just sat there wondering why on earth he had just been such an ass to the one person he wanted to make things right with. He really was being a dick. Greg was entitled to be angry with him. But in a way he was also free to be mad at Greg. Greg really hurt him with the things he said that night. He still shouldn’t have done what he did. But his betrayal of Greg didn’t make the things Greg said hurt any less.
