CSI Logan Chap 1

Walking through the corridor, he felt all eyes watching him. He didn't exactly fit in with his surroundings which made him nervous. He could hear everyone talking word for word with his extra sensitive hearing. He approached the office that he was directed to and looked through the window. He saw a red head man sat at the desk reading a piece of paper. The red head looked up towards the door and gestured for him to enter the office.

"Logan I presume."

Logan nodded his head.

"Please, sit down. I'm Lieutenant Horatio Caine," the red head introduced himself,

"Professor Xavier highly recommended you for the job."

"You've spoken to him?" Logan seemed a bit surprised, "but my application doesn't name him. How did you know?"

Horatio grinned, "I have ways and means of finding things out."

Logan thought that there was something about Horatio that didn't sit right with him. He just ignored this feeling, but to him, Horatio was just another person in the world.

"You're resume is quite impressive. CIA operative, samurai master, many forms of martial arts, not to mention the many different languages you can speak. Spanish is the second language here and seeing as you are fluent in Spanish, it will be of great help to you," Horatio carried on reading the resume for a moment then put it in a folder and filed it away, "right Logan, I will put you with Eric for this morning and see how you get on."
Horatio took Logan to find Eric.

In the staff room, Eric and Speedle were sat watching the highlights of the football from the night before. Eric suddenly cheered.

"C'mon Speed, cough it up!"

Speed moaned as he took his wallet out of his pocket, "you've seen the highlights before now haven't you?"

"No I haven't, I've been here all night, you know that. I just had a lucky guess."

"Lucky my arse!" he begrudgingly slapped a twenty dollar bill into Eric's hand.

"Thanks mate," Eric stood up and put the money into his pocket and noticed Horatio stood next to the door with the new recruit.

"H, I didn't see you there."

"Hmm I didn't think you had, I will be having words with you later."

Eric looked rather sheepish, "so H, is this the new recruit?" he looked at the muscular man stood next to Horatio. Eric felt rather intimidated.

"Yes Eric, it is. This is Logan, he will be shadowing you today."

"Logan, is that it? Just Logan?"

Logan grunted, "yes, that's it. Just Logan!"

This was going to be a long day for Logan.

Frank popped his head round the door, "Horatio, I need assistance at a scene. The mall, one male DB. Alexx is down there now."

"Okay Frank, I'll send Eric with our new recruit."

Frank looked at Logan, "welcome aboard, sorry you're being thrown into the deep end."

"I'm used to that."

Eric and Logan climbed into Eric's hummer. They sat in silence for a while as they drove to the mall, until Eric broke it.

"So Logan, is that your real name?"

He looked at Eric unimpressed, "no it isn't."

"Oh, right," Eric didn't want to press on the matter as he was a little scared as to Logan's reaction, "so, what has made you apply to be a CSI? You don't seem the

type to become a CSI."

Logan gazed out to the road in front, "a lot of things in my life have happened that shouldn't have. My last line of work didn't help me resolve certain issues, just caused more questions."

Eric was about to ask about his last line of work when something inside him told him to leave it, "okay, so why Miami?"

Logan looked angrily at Eric again, "look Eric, I don't do small talk, so let's just get to this scene as soon as possible, okay?"

Eric quickly nodded. He didn't like the silence much so he turned on the radio. Logan rolled his eyes and leant his arm on the window.
