Authors note - Hope you like this story from me it's one where its been floating around my head for quite some time and was starting to annoy me. Hopefully you my fellows authors will enjoy this if not I do apologise.
Disclaimer - I don't own CSI but trust me if I did three things would not have happened, one Sara wouldn't have left, although she's returning, two Warrick wouldn't have been killed and thirdly Grissom would still be there, but alas I'm just a normal human being and unfortunately all I own is the laptop this was written on and a circus as a home, read my profile to understand.

Saffron Jones stood outside the Las Vegas PD staring up at the sky, Saffron was nervous and anyone that knew the eighteen year old knew this was something not normal for her, straightening her T shirt and sighing Saffron walked into the PD department and up towards the main reception.
"Welcome to the Las Vegas Police Department, how may I help you?" A brunette lady replied.
"My name is Saffron Jones and I'm here to speak with a Captain Jim Brass" Saffron replies smoothing out her T shirt again "Is he here today?"
"Yea sure thing I'll just buzz him" The receptionist replied "Please wait here"
The Receptionist called Hannah lifted up her phone and buzzed Jim Brass, a few moments later Jim Brass arrived and approached the desk.
"Yes Hannah how can I help?" Jim asked asking Hannah before turning towards Saffron "My god Saffy what you doing here?"
"I uhh can we go to your office?" Saffron asks "Please Jim"
Jim nods his head and directs Saffron to his office, where he gently closes the door and settles himself in his chair, looking towards Saffron he cracks his fingers.
"I'm here to find Sara Sidle" Saffron explains "I've been told shes my sister"
"Saffy where you living? What you been doing with yourself?" Jim asks.
"I'm currently homeless and I've just finished university in the United Kingdom in Forensic Science" Saffron explains happily "I just want to meet my sister and ask her why she left me to fend for myself"
"Saffy it wasn't that great for Sara either" Jim replied "I tried everything in my power to get you girls adopted together but nobody wanted two girls who had gone through so much trauma"
"Trauma? I was two years old, just learning who my sister was, I loved her I want to know if she loved me" Saffron said wiping tears from her eyes.
"Saffy do you still want to meet Sara? I know Sara wants to meet you" Jim asks seeing the teen crying "Saffy come here I'm sorry"
Jim pulled Saffron into a hug and then helped her out his office and towards his car, the drive to the Las Vegas Crime lab was held in silence, Jim looked at Saffron and smiled he was going to bring the Sidle girls back together again.
When Saffron realised she was about five minutes away from meeting her older sister for the first time in sixteen years it was quite an emotional rollercoaster for the eighteen year old, Saffron looked at Jim who smiled and pulled Saffron into the crime lab and up to the reception desk and towards Judy.
"Hello Jim what a surprise, what brings you here?" Judy enquired looking at Saffron "Hello young lady"
"Uhh hi" Saffron feebly replies.
"Judy is the nightshift team here?" Jim asked nudging Saffron "This is Saffron Jones"
"Hi Saffron" Judy says shaking Saffron's hand "Pleasure to meet you, I'll get Grissom to come to the desk"
"Thanks Judy" Jim replies "Go sit down Saffy"
Saffron went and sat down looking at the floor, her long brunette hair falling over her shoulders, a few minutes later she felt the hand of Jim on her shoulder Saffron looks up and looks directly into Gil's eyes.
"Oh my god!" Gil gasped looking at Saffron "You look…look uhh never mind"
"I look like Sara" Saffron responded laughing as Gil opened and closed his mouth a few times "Are you ok sir?"
"Uhh yes and please call me Gil or Grissom" Grissom replied "Can I ask what your name is?"
"Certainly my name is Saffron Grace Jones I'm eighteen years old, I have a degree in Forensic Science and I'm the little sister of Sara Sidle" Saffron explained howling with laughter when Gil fell to the floor "Are you ok Grissom?"
"He will be fine, come on lets get you introduced to the rest of Grissom's team and more importantly your sister" Jim said helping his friend up from the floor and heading towards the break room "Come on Saffy"
Saffron sighed and followed Jim and Grissom down the corridor, as soon as she saw the lights of the break room she froze, Grissom walked into the room first to prepare the team for the shock, meanwhile Jim stood outside with Saffron keeping her company until Grissom waved them in.
"Jim I can't do this" Saffron whispered shaking her head "What if she doesn't want to know me?"
"That's unlikely she has a picture of you stuck in her locker" Jim replied "Look Saffy Sara wants to me you, it's all she's ever said to me since I met her again"
"Really? What picture is in her locker?" Saffron asks edging closer to the break room door.
"The one where it's Sara's sixteenth birthday and you are both covered in birthday cake" Jim explains "Do you remember that day?"
"Yea I sure do, Sara then took me to the park and then shopping" Saffron replies smiling at her childhood memory.
"Ok you ready?" Jim enquires smiling when he receives a nod.
Jim guiding Saffron into the break room, Saffron had bowed her head which made her hair fall in front of her face.
"Hi Jim and guest" Catherine said "Who you got there Jim?"
Before Jim could reply Saffron raised her head and looked directly at Sara, Sara looked at Saffron and smiled, Sara then stood up and in several strides engulfed Saffron in a hug.
"Oh my god! Oh my god!" Sara squealed "Little dude what brings you here, how did you find me?"
"Little dude, been too long since I heard you say that" Saffron replied hugging Sara tightly "How did you recognise it was me?"
"Ask Jim" Sara said walking back over to the sofa, Saffron with her "Oh my god!"
"Uhh hello five other people in the room" Greg said "Introductions"
"Who's the spiky headed deeb?" Saffron asks Sara.
"Saffron that is my friend and colleague Greg, be nice" Sara warned her sister.
"Oh I do apologise who is the spiky headed deeb please" Saffron repeated grinning from ear to ear "Nice to meet you Greg, just kidding ok?"
"So you got my name, I got yours but how do you know Sara?" Greg enquired looking around the room to find five other heads nodding"
"Ok well my name is Saffron Grace Jones I'm eighteen years old, I have a degree in Forensic Science and I'm the little sister of Sara Sidle" Saffron said quickly before turning to Jim "Case of De Ja vu there"
"What a dog gone minute" Catherine interjected "You have a little sister?"
"It's hard to explain, maybe I could tell you at breakfast later?" Sara suggested.
"Oh yea food, I'm starving!" Saffron bellowed "I used the last of my savings to get here, how stupid is this, I'm old enough to drive in the UK but here you have to be twenty-one, so stupid!"
"I was wondering what accent you had" Nick said smiling at Saffron.
"English- American" Saffron replied "Your from Texas, great county"
"Cheers, my name is Nick, on my left is Warrick and on my right is Catherine, Grissom and Greg"
"Nice to meet you all" Saffron said shaking everybody's hands looking down the corridor to find Ecklie approaching "Who's the guy with the hideous wig on his head?"
"Saffron!" Sara gasped looking around the room as everyone was laughing "Oh fine"
"Grissom can I ask why is there a child in the break room and why your team are laughing when there is work to do?" Ecklie asked looking at Saffron and the rest of the nightshift team "Well?"
"Excuse me sir you have something on your head" Saffron said smiling sweetly "Oh by the way I'm not some child, I'm Saffron Jones I'm eighteen and I'm Sara Sidle's sister, who the hell are you?"
"Im conrad Ecklie Dayshift Supervisor" Ecklie responded "What are you doing here?"
"Well Mr Conrad Hairpiece Ecklie I'm here to see my sister" Saffron replied "Now would you please go away and leave me and my friends alone"
Ecklie stormed out the room, the room in question was filled with silence until nick stood up and smacked hands with Saffron who grinned and sat down next to her gob smacked sister.

At the end of the shift Sara returned to the break room to find her sister and boyfriend playing on the Nintendo Wii, Nick moaning and groaning as Saffron did a victory dance around the room stopping when she saw her sister.
"Hey kiddo you ready to go?" Sara asked "Breakfast time"
"Sure is Nicky coming?" Saffron asked looking at Nick "I like him he's really nice, made me feel really welcome"
"That's good then" Sara responded "Hey Nicky baby come here"
"Ok Sara honey" Nick replied walking over to both girls "Hey Saffy you'r catching flies"
"I uhh you are dating? When? How? Never mind the how" Saffron shuttered "Do the team know? Of course they do their investigators, ok Saffron shut up!"
"You ok kiddo?" Nick enquired squeezing Saffron's shoulder "In answer to your question is you're the first to know, oh and I hope you don't mind staying at our place, you me and Sara here?"
"Do I mind? I would love to, thanks Nicky" Saffron replied sighing happily and following Nick and Sara out to the car park "I'll follow in my car, ok Sara?"
"Can I go with Nicky Sara?" Saffron enquired "Please"
"Sure thing kiddo, knock yourself out" Sara replied waving as she got in her car and pulled out the car park.
Saffron sat in Nick's car happy that she had made the choice, against her foster parents wishes and travelled to America to find her sister, as far as Saffron was concerned this was where her life was going to begin.
