So this is my first fanfiction on here. I own nothing from the show CSI, but I do own my original character Stephanie Foster and a few others that will show up later in the story. Enjoy. =D

Chapter One

"Just a Normal Day at the Lab"

"Come on Greggo. Tell me what I wanna hear."

"Like I told Steph five minutes ago: I'm completely backlogged and your case is next. Now leave."

Stephanie Foster couldn't help but laugh at the look on Nicky's face when scrawny little Greg Sanders shoved him out of the DNA lab. It really was a Kodak moment. Unfortunately for her, Nick heard her laughing…which usually didn't end so well for Steph. Of course she was right because here was Nick Stokes heading her way.

"What's so funny, Peanut?"

She somehow managed to regain her composure. "Aside from Greg practically throwing you out of DNA? Nothing at all Nicky."

"Yeah well you could have warned me that he was on his man period. It would have been nice to know."

"Leave Greg alone. It's not his fault that it makes him like this."

Once again, Steph was laughing. At least Nick joined in this time. Things had been like this ever since Stephanie Foster first started in the lab. The joking with Nick, the picking on Greg. These were just pretty normal things around here. Time to cue the entrance of either Grissom or Catherine.

"Picking on Greg again?"

Nick and Stephanie both turned to look at Catherine. See? Things can get predictable around here sometimes…but only when it comes to the habits of the people who work here. Stephanie has been in this lab for two years now and the family feel of the team was always been there. Always.

"Why would we do that Catherine?"

She just chuckled and walked off to Trace. Nick turned back to talk to Steph.

"Wanna go see if Greg is done? He said our evidence was next after all."

"You know he's probably going to yell at us for hovering."

"So?"

With that Stephanie followed Nick back into the DNA lab. The very noisy DNA lab. Where Greg sat spinning in a chair drumming on his knees. Yep. He was really backlogged wasn't he?

Nick pushed the button on the radio, making the DNA lab nice and quiet. Greg turned around and realized he was caught.

"Thought you were backlogged Greg?"

"I can multi-task. I'm running your sample right now. Any second it should spit out your results."

Nick just rolled his eyes. Stephanie really didn't see a problem. She was known to walk around the lab with my headphones blasting in my ears. It was how she worked best. Nice loud music. Just then the printer spit out what could only be our DNA results. Steph grabbed them before Greg could even reach up.

"You know that gets on my nerves right Steph?"

"Yeah but you'll never do anything about it Greg." After looking over the results, Stephanie turned to look at Nick. "We got him."
