A Girl In Vegas...

I pulled up in the car park of the Las Vegas Crime Lab, I checked the time on the radio display thingy, 7:20, oh well, only ten minutes early eh, better to seem enthusiastic than mucho disorganised. I yanked my bag out of the back and locked my lovely little car. Walking into the entrance of the a new working place is quite surreal, with the new and shininess that those new things seem to have...ehe, well, better find some sort of reception.

"Er, hi, I'm Carys O'Brien, I'm here to see Mr Gill Grissom, I'm the new DNA tech..." I tried my best to look confident, but its hard when you're about 5ft 2 and wearing stupidly uncomfortable shoes, but I pushed through, go me. My hair was pulled up in one of those messy but stylish ponytails and I had put on some eyeliner, keep it simple but stylish that's what my brother says.

"Oh yes here you are..." The receptionist pointed at an older man who was looking at some files. "Gill, your new lab rat is here" How dare she, im no rat...oh, I get it, okay, Carys calm down, it's just a new job, it's something your good at remember. Yeah, I've been telling myself that for a while now freaking first day nerves.

Whilst I had been lost in my own little world, Mr Grissom and the receptionist lady, I make a mental note to learn the names of people here, and not learn them by the nicknames that I make for them. "Well Miss O'Brien, would you like to follow me to my office before I show you around, just to explain a few things" I followed Grissom through the corridors of a rather nice looking lab, well, but much nicer than the one I used to work in, ooh, I shall tell Grissom that, compliments are always good.

I had to blink a few times when I went into Grissom's office, lots of bugs, ooh he's a bug man, NO, no nicknames. "You okay Carys"..."Yes, yes fine." I smiled and let him go over the usual, don't break stuff please and the be nice to your workmates and keep the lab tidy rules. I'll bet they have cleaners too, I mean, lots of glass windows and they're all real shiny, must have cleaners...god, keep going off topic don't I, sorry.

"So why did you choose Las Vegas Carys?"

"Oh erm, fancied a change of scenery" I smiled

"Oh I see, where from?"

Geez he likes his questions...meh, s'only fair, I have a weird name. Stupid parents, yes I love them dearly, but a Welsh and Irish name, how could they.

"Dublin, there's only so many leprechauns you can work with" I joked, and he seemed mildly amused, which is surely a good thing. Bug man/Grissom stood up and told me to follow him to the break room where I could meet the CSI's, to see who else I would be working with aside from the lab techs. Walking into a room of new people can make you feel a little bit intimidated, but to my luck as we were walking through the door the guy standing at the counter spilled coffee all over himself. I stifled a laugh and managed to look normal (or whatever you can call normal)



"Nice one there Nicky" A tall guy, nice looking kinda cute tall guy, sniggered at coffee jeans.

"Shut it Greg, do you want me to mention the time that you spilled that pigs..."

"BLAH BLAH BLAH, yes yes, I'm so very sorry" Tall guy glared and coffee jeans. Weell, I'm glad they haven't noticed me yet, oh I think that as bug man clears his throat.

"Now, you two, don't make me look bad in front of the new DNA tech, this is Carys O'Brien" He turned and gestured towards me, I smiled and did a little wave at the room of people staring at me, managed to mumbled out a hi as well. Best introduction so far.

Bug man gestured to people to the CSI's one at a time "And this Carys, is Sara Sidle, Warrick Brown, Catherine Willows, Nick Stokes and Greg Sanders, oh and I have a body dump that needs to be picked up, Sara, Warrick would you mind?" Sara and Warrick stood to leave, but said hi before leaving, how very kind of them, I shall say hi properly when they return.

"Soo, you have an odd name..." Tall Greg sauntered over to me with a small smirk on his face, it was a nice smirk, not to smirky, more of a playful smirk, stop staring at his lips now.

The woman I believe was Catherine stood up and walked over to tall Greg "Oh thats a nice way to start off a conversation, don't mind him" she turned to me "He's not that bright."

"Hey"

"I'm just joking around, but if he bothers you, just tell me, he'll quickly stop"

"Uhh okay thanks" I smiled at her before she turned to leave.

"But your name is a little odd..."Tall Greg, Carys, stop the nicknames, sorry, Greg pressed on about my silly name, yeah I'll admit it name is rather odd.

"Ah, yeah, yah see, my dad was Irish, so there's the last name and my mum was Welsh, so I got stuck with Carys, buut, people often end up calling me Carrie, cause they forget the rys bit at the end" I let out a small giggle before I looked round to see bug ma..Grissom waiting patiently for me.

"And seems like somebody's waiting for me, see you guys later" I waved at them with the friendly smile still on my face, I guess it's time to meet the lab techs now
