VERY IMPORTANT! EVERYONE PLEASE READ THIS A/N!

CSI doesn't belong to me. Please don't sue me!

I've combined the first and second chapters together and made some fixes to things that needed fixing. This is the polished version and everyone should please reread this. ********************************************

A tall blond girl rushed through the CSI halls 10 minutes after the graveyard shift had started, a folder and various papers in her arms.

She rushed into the DNA lab and breathlessly explained to the calm Greg, "I'm sorry I'm late Mr. Sanders. I had to go by my house to pick up some paperwork and I'm still not used to the sleep scheduled and,"

He held up his gloved hand and smiled at his new intern, "Laura, it's ok. I did the same thing when I was interning. Just take these to Grissom and be back in 10 minutes."

She couldn't help but smile broadly at her crush and quickly grabbed the pile of papers to take to her ultimate boss.

Carefully knocking on the door before opening it, she snuck in as quietly as possible, hoping he wouldn't notice her.

Truthfully, Laura thought of her boss as closed in. She would even go as far to say that he was a little of a workaholic, being that he almost never spoke of anything but his job.

She was almost out of the door again when he asked, without ever looking up from his papers, "So how so you like your new job?"

At first Laura didn't know that she was being spoken to but she spoke the words that were still uncertain to her loud and clear, "I really like it here. I hope I can accomplish a lot in my time here."

She stayed standing still where she was, expecting another question. He shook his head,

"I suppose you need to be back doing something right now so you may go."

She rushed out of the door only to bump into Sara, who was on her way to talk to Grissom about a case.

"Hey, I need to talk to you about something. Maybe we can talk at lunch?" Laura asked.

Sara smiled at the shorter girl, "Sure, that would be great. In fact, I need to ask you something so lunch would be perfect. I'll see you then."

********************************** How do you all like it? I really want this to be a long fic and I hope to get a lot of reviews.

************************************************************ I've decided to combine the 1st and 2nd chapters. And I've made some adjustments to the first chapter.

***************

Oh thank you, thank you. I changed it so I can take anonymous reviews, I don't remember setting it that way before but oh well. Now everyone can review!

*****************************************************

Turning the key in the lock, Laura pushed the door open. It had been a long day, one of the longest in the two months she had been working as an intern. Sara, said it was all in the life of a CSI, which made Laura wonder if she did really want a full time job.

After not eating for over 24 hours, her first destination once inside her 5- room apartment was the kitchen to make a packet of Ramen.

She put the two cups of water in a pan on the stove to boil, before going into her bedroom and closing the door to rest.

As she was shutting the door, Laura felt a sharp pain in her side. It was enough to make her slump over, leaning against the recently closed door.

As far as she could guess, it felt like the pain was coming from her abdominal area. She couldn't even be sure of anything because the blinding pain was making it hard to think strait.

Tears began to form the corners of her eyes and she smelled the water on the stove beginning to burn.

She finally passed out from the pain.

***************************************************** Woken by the sound of the phone ringing, Laura instantly remembered why she had fallen asleep.

She groped around until her hand rested on the cordless and she brought it up to her ear after pressing the on button.

She weakly gasped, "Stewart", knowing full well who it was.

"Laura where are you?" Grissom practically yelled, "Your two hours late for your shift! Is something wrong?"

"Gil, I can't come in for work today. Something is wrong and I don't know what. Please hurry. Las Vegas area code." She said before dropping the phone to the ground and passing out again.

****************************************************

Grissom turned to the rest of the staff, excluding Greg, who was working on backed up DNA.

"She isn't ok. And she needs help."

Sara looked nervous. Laura and Sara had become close friends and Laura had confided in Sara about her crush on Greg just as Sara confided in Laura of her liking of Grissom.

"What exactly did she say? Her precise words." Sara asked.

Grissom looked softly upon her, sensing her panic, "She said, she doesn't know what's wrong, to hurry and one thing I can't figure out. She said 'Las Vegas area code."

Catherine piped up, equally worried for the person, who had become a sort of other Aunt, besides Sara, to Lindsey, That's 272, but I don't know why it matters."

A look passed between every person. Ask Greg.

Almost everyone in the office suspected chemistry between Laura and Greg, and not just the kind you learn in school. Maybe it was the way the spent a lot of time together or maybe it was the rumor that they were dating, but the presence was still there.

Soon, a herd of people was walking down to the DNA lab. As they arrived and Greg gaped, Grissom explained what was going on.

"-And so we need you to tell us what the number 272 means."

Greg answered, almost a little too quickly, "That's her apartment number at Saturn Arms. (A/N: Sound familiar?) Why?"

"She might be in trouble." Grissom replied blatantly, "I'm going to go find her ok? Everyone just keep working and I'll call Catherine on her cell and she can tell you everything I say." and Grissom pulled his keys out of his pocket and walked out of the door, leaving everyone else to quietly console Greg.
