Prologue

Disclaimer: I don't own the CSI characters, it's as simple as that.



Authors Notes: I didn't know if Grissom had family in the show, but I gave him an adopted daughter (which is the norm for me, go figure). That's all.

She jolted up in bed and looked at the clock on her nightstand, it was 2:43 in the morning. This hadn't been the first time she had been woken up in this fashion, she had had these rude self awakenings many times.



The girl of 15 years picked up the telephone that stood next to the clock on her nightstand and dialed a number which she knew by heart. After 5 rings someone picked up the receiver on the other end of the line.



"Hello?" came a groggy voice.



"Sidney, it's me. I had another dream. I'm afraid that there's gonna be a shooting at school tomorrow," the girl said.



"Tara, it's 2:45 in the morning, get some sleep and call me later, ok?" the other girl - Sidney - said.



"Sid, I'm serious."



"So am I Tara," Sidney said, in a 'I'm-half-asleep' sort of voice. "You're probably just worried about your dad or stressed out about mid-terms. Calm down and get some rest. See ya at school tomorrow, Tara."



"...Yea, uh... g'night Sidney...and don't forget you have a chemistry test tomorrow."



With that Tara put down the receiver of her phone.



'Maybe Sid's right; I mean, Dad was out working late tonight following that lead Greg was telling me about earlier when I stopped by the crime lab. Yea, that must be it.'



With thought in mind, 15-year-old Tara Grissom lay back down and went back to sleep.
