This is my first fanfic, and hopefully it should turn out good. It's a crossover between all three CSIs as I'm sure you'll work out. But it's mainly from Calleigh's point of view. Anyway, I hope you like it. I have planned a couple of twists in it.
Well, I'll stop going on and I'll let you read it.
Disclaimer: If I did Calleigh and Ryan would have been together ages ago. But guess what? Unfortunately, I don't.
'Any idea what this meeting is for? Ryan quizzed her, as they headed towards Horatio's office.
'No idea' she answered. They didn't have any high-profile cases at the moment that would warrant a group meeting.
Hey guys, you know why were being called together?' Natalia asked as she joined the two other CSIs. Being new to the world of CSI, Calleigh knew, she often felt out of things.
'Don't worry, we are as clueless as you' Ryan answered her, as he pushed open the door to the office. Inside were Horatio, Alexx, and Eric. In front of Alexx, there was small pot, with what looked like slips of paper in.
'Welcome, and please sit down' Horatio motioned to the group.
She and Ryan looked at each other, then sat.
'Now, I'm sure you know what time of year it is' Horatio stated. It was September, she thought. What did that have to do with anything?
'That means, it is time for the UNLV Forensics Conference that is held once every two years.' Calleigh and Eric groaned, she'd been once, he'd been twice, and she knew it was right down on your list of do not do's. It was a weekend of seminars on different areas of Forensics and it was boredom. Almost every CSI knew it all already. The only good part of the weekend was the Dinner and Dance on the Sunday evening to end the weekend. That was always interesting.
'As you know, each CSI department supervisor is required to send two of their CSIs to the function.'
'You are kidding me, H, that we have to go again. It's always me. I know that you always do the first two names out of the pot, but I've been the last two times.' Eric stated, clearly showing he didn't want to go again.
'Unless you have a legitimate reason why you can't go next weekend, I'm afraid, Eric, your name is in the pot'
'Is it really that bad, honey?' asked Alexx. Calleigh knew her name never went in the pot because she wasn't a CSI. She picked the names out.
'H, I'm sure they wouldn't notice if we didn't go this year. We already do know most of it.' Ryan said. Calleigh smiled, he'd heard a lot about this conference from her and Eric, and clearly, did not want to go.
'Look, I know it isn't the most interesting thing to do at a weekend, but it gives you a chance to meet other CSIs, which you rarely do. Now Alexx, the first name please' Horatio stated. It was final, thought Calleigh, they were going. She hoped it wasn't her again.
' Calleigh, baby, its your lucky weekend' Alexx confirmed. She inwardly groaned. She just hoped it wasn't Ryan joining her. Spending a whole weekend with him, in the same hotel, would kill her. She had enough problems working with him.
'Ryan, you're joining her' Alexx smiled at the pair. Calleigh couldn't help smiling. Although, she knew this weekend would be difficult, spending the weekend with Ryan did have its upsides. She didn't notice Ryan smiling to himself, he too was happy with the choice.
'Bad luck guys' gloated Eric with glee. It was the first time, he hadn't been picked.
'Enjoy all the extra work' Ryan shot back at him. Those two always took a dig at the other, whenever possible. They were like a couple of kids, thought Calleigh.
'Anything beats that conference, man' Eric said. And he got up to get back to work.
'Have fun, guys' Natalia said, with a touch of disappointment in her voice, and she too, left the office.
'I'm sure you have work to do' Horatio smiled at the pair, and they left the office.
'A weekend in Las Vegas with you, then' she said.
'I'd pick you over Delko anyday. I'd kill him before the weekend is out' She laughed to herself at the comment. It was true.
'Thanks'
'Your welcome' he answered and they smiled as they parted to go to their respective labs.
