Open Door

Grissom sits at his desk in his dorm room, scratching out a birthday card to Sara.

Happy Birthday. From - Grissom.
Happy Thirty-...ummm, shit.
Sorry about almost getting you blown up yesterday. Happy Birthday, Gil
Merriest of...

He takes off his glasses, and throws the paper in the trash. His door is open for students to stop by.

Grissom is leaning toward believing in his sincerity, but is still a little unsure.

"That sounds like a very thoughtful idea. How do you plan on delivering this gift to her?"

"In person," Angelus said. "During her next round of clinic hours. I know she might be busy, but I'll try not to get in the way of her work."

"It sounds as if you have this figured out. I'm sure she'll appreciate it."

Grissom's inner monologue: Don't do it Gil. Don't get more involved in this kid's life. You, giving dating advice? That's like Pol Pot teaching a human rights seminar. But maybe you can help keep him out of trouble, and that will be good for him, good for you, and good for Sara. Oh my God, I can't believe this.

"Are you, interested in this girl?" Grissom asks, with a barely noticeable cringe.

"Interested?" Angelus opened his eyes wide with surprise. "Oh gosh, doc. I just met her. Sounds awfully presumptuous of me to say I know her well enough to be interested."

"Good," Grissom sighs. "No, I mean, not good. Good!"

Grissom rubs his neck, not at all surprised he has managed to screw up with this kid already.

"What I meant was, I think you have the right attitude. I'm sure Miss Cuddy, you said?, will appreciate the gesture."

"Really?" Angelus's face lit up. He stood up, offering his hand so he could shake Dr. Grissom's with gratitude. "Oh that's swell. I really appreciate your help, Doc. Honest."

Grissom gives him a firm handshake. "I'm glad you stopped by, Angelus, and you're welcome. You know where you can find me if you have any more questions. My door is open."

Grissom's inner monologue: Swell? This is the kid who was screaming at Sara? Is he dissociative? Maybe he was just having a hard time fitting in. Give him a break, you need to learn how to do that.

"I'll see you next class."

"Looking forward to it," Angelus went to the door, then paused. "Oh, heck, I just barged right in here, didn't I? Is there a form I'm supposed to fill out to say why I was here?" He gave Grissom a friendly grin. "Signed affidavitt swearing to Connor that you didn't screw up and accidentally convince me to sell drugs to the first years?"

"I have the distinct feeling that Ms. Connor would take my word over yours. No, no form, I have my own system of documentation.

Oh, and don't do drugs. That was my teacher-ly advice. See, I'm not such a bad high school teacher after all."

Grissom returns Angelus' friendly grin.

"Good luck."

"Thanks, doc," Angelus gave him a friendly wave as he left. "Really appreciate it."
