Chapter 77: Who the Hell are you and what are you doing Here?

Hodges and Wendy covered in nothing but blankets stood glaring at the angry Texan that had busted his way in the apartment.

"Where the hell is Emma" he demanded.

"Who is Emma?" asked Hodges.

"Don't play dumb with me Sanders where is my girlfriend! What did you do to her?"

"I am not Greg Sanders and I have no idea what he did with your girlfriend." Hodges said and adjusted the blanket.

Greg came out into the living area. "I am Greg Sanders, Emma is not here" he stated and crossed his arms.

"Where is she then?"

"She does not want you to know." he replied.

The Texan walked over to Greg and glared down at him. "You had better tell me where he is if you wanna continue living!"

Greg stood his ground and glared back at him. "No"

"If you don't mind, would you please leave before I call the cops" said a new voice. It was Mandy; she was standing in the doorway holding the phone poised to dial 911.

"This is not over yet, boy, I will find out where Emma is staying, and I will hunt her down and make sure she takes care of that unwanted pregnancy" the Texan growled.

"What is your name by the way?" Greg asked.

"Emma's Boyfriend" he replied and walked out the door. (which was off it's hinges)

"Ok, that was freaky" said Mandy and turned and walked back into Greg's bedroom.

Hodges and Wendy couldn't look at each other. They were well aware of their antics regarding the night before and the fact that they had slept together in a moment of passion. The fact that when the Texan barged in, the two of them were sprawled out on the floor naked, didn't sit well with them. Not that the Texan cared, he was too intent on finding Emma.

They got dressed and headed off separately to work. The two women drove on one car and the two guys took Greg's as Hodges had left his at the lab.

When they got to the lab all hell was breaking loose. Emma was in Grissom's office crying and Nick was trying to comfort her.

"It's going to be ok Emma." He said.

"If Grissom catches you in his office without permission he is going to be upset" Said Greg walking by.

"We are not going to tell him are we Greg" Nick said.

"Tell me what? Nick what are you doing in my office?" Grissom asked appearing behind Greg.

"Comforting Emma. Her Texan boyfriend came to the lab in search of her and smacked her around a bit and yelled at her, but not before he went to Greg's apartment where he terrorized Greg & Mandy and Hodges and Wendy. "

At the sound of his name, David Hodges came into Grissom's office. He had been walking by when he heard his name mentioned.

"What are we talking about?" he asked.

"Oh nothing, you little interlude you had with Wendy that's all." Nick said mockingly.

David turned and left Grissom's office.

"Nick you can't use my office without asking me first" Grissom said. He seemed to be more territorial than usual. Grissom looked around the room seeking something out.

"Griss, we'll go now" Nick said and he and Emma left Grissom's office and headed to the break room to continue their chat.

Grissom sighed a deep sigh and paged Sara. She came within 30 seconds.

"I missed you honey" he said.

"I missed you too. We haven't had a lot of time together. Y'know I think we need a vacation. I hope the children are not suffering because we're work-a-holics." Grissom said.

"Well Sierra told me that she feels sad she doesn't see us more"

Grissom put his hand on his wife's arm and caressed it. "We have a very smart daughter." He said and kissed Sara right on the lips.

"Is the door locked?"

"I'll lock it now" he said and went toward the door and just as Sara was unbuttoning her blouse … the door opened. Sara ducked behind Grissom's desk.

"What's going on here?" asked the voice.

It was Warrick.

"Nothing" Grissom said and stared at the desk.

"Griss, I saw Sidle duck behind your desk, are you two having a little interlude again?"

"That's not your concern Warrick, what do you want" Grissom said.

"We need you pronto up front. That crazy Texan guy, Emma's boyfriend .. returned."

"What? "

"That's not all, before he could do anything, he stabbed Emma right in the stomach. She's on the way to the hospital. Nick has gone with her and Catherine and I are processing the scene."

"Sounds like you have it under control"

"Grissom"

"Just go about your business Warrick" he said with a dismissive attitude.

Warrick shook his head and left the office and Grissom looked at his desk. Sara jumped up from behind it, fully dressed.

"The moment has passed" she said. "See you at home"

Grissom sighed. He never wins anymore.
