Dreams Do Come True

1. Who is she?

Catherine Willows was the first to notice the young brown haired girl sitting in the CSI lobby. The girl looked to be in her teens and appeared pale and gaunt. Though dressed professionally with tailored pants, button up blouse and blazer her childlike qualities were still visible. Catherine decided to ask Grissom about the mystery girl.

Willows walked down the hall and observed her shift leader playing with his red-kneed tarantula. She cleared her throat.

Grissom looked up over his glasses as he put the tarantula back into the tank.

"May I help you Catherine?"

"Yeah actually. Do you know who the girl in the lobby is? She's in her teens, brown hair, fancy apparel."

"She's here?" He stood up and walked to Catherine. "In the lobby you said?"

"Yeah. Yeah but who the hell is she?" Catherine asked giving Gil a look of confusion.

"She's our new intern." Grissom said already halfway down the hall.

"What?!" Catherine shouted after him. "She's like twelve!"

"Round up everyone for assignments." Gil said disappearing down the hall.

Catherine obviously perturbed started off down the hall to the break room.
