The Graveyard shift was in the LVPD Crime Lab locker room getting ready to go home since shift was over for the day. Catherine and Sara had left already because Sara overheated her Tahoe for the 4th time that month. She was a madwoman on the roads, especially the I-15. Catherine offered to give her a ride home; she didn't mind since it was on her way.
Nick, Warrick and Grissom were in the locker room, getting ready to go home and hoping the downpour would stop when Nick opened up his locker. A pink folded piece of paper fluttered to the ground landing right at his feet. He squatted down and picked it up, sitting down on the bench that ran the whole middle of the room. He unfolded the piece of paper and read what it said to himself, smiling at the poem. Warrick slammed his locker shut and sat down beside Nick noticing the pink paper.
"Hey what do you have there?" he asked.
"A love letter I guess," Nick stated re-reading the paper for the 4th time.
"Well read it out loud," Grissom said joining his younger co-workers on the bench.
Roses are red,
Violates are blue,
Sugar is sweet,
And you�re cute too,
Love you Nicky-poo,
Your secret admirer.
"Sounds like someone has a crush on you," Grissom replied laughing, and patted the younger man on the back.
"I'm going to find out who it is," Nick stated as he slammed his locker shut.
�Good luck with that, I would laugh if it was Sanders� Warrick replied and all three men laughed.
The following evening Grissom came to work early as usual, and walked into his uniquely decorated office. On his desk that was cluttered with on going cases and evidence was a vase filled with 12 ruby red roses. He set his brief case down on the chair and picked up the card picked up the card, read it out loud.
Hey bug man hope you enjoy these red roses.
Love your secret admirer
Grissom re-read the card could smell something sweet, like perfume. He smelt the roses then the card and detected it as the source. Catherine appeared at the door and gave her boss a quizzed look.
"Gil, what are you doing? And where did you get these beautiful red roses? Did you know they are my favourite flower? You didn't happen to get these for me did you?" she questioned.
"Ah, no, sorry, I got them from a mystery person read the card they left me" Grissom replied and handed the card to Catherine, who had a frown on her face.
She read it over and couldn�t help but giggle. She smiled and handed it back to Grissom, spinning on her heel and headed back towards the door.
"Hey! What did you think of the card?" Grissom called after her catching her attention.
Catherine turned around and walked back towards his desk, "Well I would have to say they have nice smelling shampoo and you know, come to think of it, it smells familiar," Catherine replied grabbing one of the roses and walked out of the room.
"Where did you smell it before?" Gil asked hoping to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible. He had more important things like solving murders to worry about than a silly secret admirer.
"You can figure that out bug man," she called as she walked down the hallway laughing.
