After a long time, this is the somewhat sequel to Conferences, Concerns, Conflicts. This takes place a little over a year since Grissom, Sara, and Nick went to L.A. for a conference. Hopefully you enjoy the first chapter. - misstvjunkie

"When are you finally going to ask her?" Nick said as he walked into the break room, where Greg was sitting by himself fiddling with a ring and its box. "I mean you have been dating for almost a year. I mean she practically lives at your house."

"The answer is…I don't know. Nick, I love her. I would do anything for her. I just have to find the right moment. Don't tell anyone I have one yet either, especially her."

"Sure man. So you don't know what you are going to do."

"I was thinking we might go somewhere at the end of the month when we have a couple days off. And hey, are you and Sara busy on Friday? Do you want to go to an early dinner with Kate and I?"

"Well you have 3½ weeks to decide, and yeah we'll come Friday, just have to ask Sara." And with that ending statement, Nick's phone began to ring.

"Stokes"

"Nick, It's Grissom" Nick was surprised that Grissom was calling since shift would be starting in a little while, but nevertheless, he continued with the conversation.

"Nick, I need you in my office. Can you be here in a couple minutes?"

"What's up Griss? I'll be there in a sec"

"Thanks" and with that, they both hung up the phone.

"That was Grissom. He wants me in his office ASAP"

"Well see you later, and I'll talk to Sara about Friday"

"What's up Griss?" Nick said as he approached the chair opposite Grissom

"You got this in the mail today" he said as he gave Nick the letter that was identical to his own

"It's from the new director of labs"

-Earlier that night.-

"Here's everybody's mail, Mr. Grissom"

"Thanks, Jerry" Grissom said as he took the mail from Jerry, the intern in charge of mail distribution.

It was routine for every shift. Jerry would enter, give Grissom everyone's mail, then leave. Originally, Jerry only just delivered Grissom's mail to him and gave everyone else their mail individually, but after awhile Grissom would end up with everyone's mail later, when Jerry couldn't find them.

At the beginning of every shift, Grissom would check the bugs, tarantula, grab a coffee, then listen to messages, then usually Jerry would come. Then, Grissom would check through it and divide everyone's up, read any of his, and give everyone theirs when he passed out assignments.

Everything so far today was like normal….

The standard mail was usually thank you cards and junk mail, but then Grissom noticed 3 symmetrical envelopes. They were white, from the head honcos of the crime lab. They were addressed to himself, Nick, and Greg. He looked for any others for maybe Warrick, but there wasn't. He opened his and figured out why nobody else had one. Warrick wasn't in love. Well he was. He just wasn't in love with anyone on the team.
