Hello and welcome to my first attempt at a CSI fic. R&R would be much appreciated and I hope there will be more to come. Enjoy

Chapter one

She knew she needed to escape but she didn't know how. The feeling was all too familiar she had been trying to escape for as long as she could remember. Her father, foster care, the nightmares that still, some twenty years later still kept her up at night. In the past twenty four hours her need to escape had been a little more dire. First from Natalie Davis and now from underneath an overturned car in the middle of the desert. Due to the rainstorm water was filling the car and with her left arm pinned between a rock and frame of the car itself, she was struggling to keep her head above water. She forced herself under after taking a breath and reached for the rearview mirror, she pulled as hard as she could but it wouldn't come loose. She let go and forced her head up above the rising water gasping for air before going under again. She pulled on the mirror determined to pull it off but it didn't loosen. She pushed her hear up one more time allowing herself only one deep breath before going back under despite feeling lightheaded. This time it paid off she ripped the mirror free. Using it she was able to drive it between the rock and the car allowing her enough space to pull her arm out. She pushed herself though the open window of the car and into the open desert though she could tell by the pain shooting through her left arm it must be fractured. She was free of the car but the true horror had just begun.
