Chapter One " Let the Game Begin"

The entire Las Vegas crime lab was gathered at Catherine Willows house for their annual party. Everyone was dancing, and the more familiar CSIs were grouped together in the kitchen laughing. "Up for showing us any of your moves, Kitty Cat?", Greg asked wriggling his eyebrows at her. Catherine scoffed. "Please. In your dreams." The night went on like this until around eleven o'clock when people began flocking home. The remaining people were now Gil, Catherine, Nick, Sarah, Warrick, Greg, and Jim.
"Hey", Nick said, "why don't we play "I Never?
"Yeah!", everyone replied.
"Brass, you in?", Sarah asked.

"Nah... I'm gonna head home and hit the sack"
"Suit yourself. It's gonna be fun.", Catherine said.
"Yeah, you all can fill me in on what humiliating secrets you find out about one another"
"Will do.", Gil said and with that they said goodbye and he left.
They all sat around in the living room while Catherine searched for something.
"Found it!", Catherine said smiling, walking into the living room with the bottle of liquor.
"Yes! The good stuff.", Warrick said.
"Patron? Nice.", Sarah said. They had their shot glasses ready to go.
"Ok. Who starts?", Warrick asked.
"I'll start.", Nick said. " I never ate my vegetables when I was a kid." Everyone took a shot.
"Damn! This is strong!", Greg winced.
"You've never drank this before?", Sarah asked.
"No"
"We got us a virgin drinker here.", Warrick laughed.
"Shut up, Warrick. Okay, okay, my turn.", Greg said. " I never stole from my mom's purse." He and Sarah took a shot. "Oh, come on! Someone else had to have done that besides us"
"Yeah! Catherine?", Sarah asked.
Catherine shook her head. "Nope. That's one of the very few things that I never thought about doing"
"So. I guess it's my turn.", Warrick said. " I never shoplifted." Everyone but Greg took a shot.
"Wow. Seriously, I'm the only one? I'm curious... what'd you guys steal? How about you go first, Sarah?", Greg said.
"Okay. It wasn't a big deal. I always stole lip gloss from the local store, and once I stole a pair of sunglasses"
"Not bad. Warrick"
"I stole some CDs from time to time, a doo rag, and a pack of gum"
"Okay, Nicky-Boy, your turn"
Nick smiled. " I stole a T-Shirt, a pair of sunglasses, and a box of condoms"
Sarah laughed and shook her head. " Typical guy." Everyone laughed.
"Grissom, your turn.", Greg said.
" I stole some T-Shirts, some swim trunks, a six pack of beer. Oh, and a box of condoms." Nick gave him a high five.
"I guess this leaves us with Catherine. So, what'd ya steal, Kitty Cat?", Greg asked.
Catherine rolled her eyes at him. " So I stole some sexy lingere, a bikini, some glitter, and some condoms. Big deal"
"Go Catherine!", Warrick said smiling.
"Wow...", Sarah said.
"Moving on! It's my turn.", Catherine said. " I never hotwired a car." She and Gil took a shot.
"Catherine, you are officially the coolest woman I've ever met.", Nick said impressed.
"Same here.", Warrick agreed.
"So, you gonna tell us the story behind it?", Greg asked excitedly. Gil and Catherine looked at one another.
" It's a long story. I'll tell you guys some other time.", Catherine said.
"My turn!", Sarah said. " I never flashed or mooned someone." Everyone took a shot and started laughing. " This is great! I thought that I would be the only one! So, who's gonna dish first"
" I have an even better idea. How about we split the stories into days? You know, so we can laugh about it during the week.", Catherine suggested.
"Great idea, Catherine!", Nick said.
"Thanks. Your turn, Gil"
" I've never played naked Twister." He and Greg were the only ones taking shots. There was a small silence.
"Wow...yeah. I need a shot after picturing that.", Nicm said pouring himself a shot.
"Right there with you, buddy.", Warrick said.
"Me too.", Sarah said.
"I'll take one too.", Catherine said winking at Gil. They all took their shot.
"Don't you guys want to hear"
"No!", they all shouted at Greg.
