The New One
Chapter 1: Madison
Grissom walks into the lounge room, he is with a woman. Everyone look them.
"Guys, let me introduce you Madison Pressly, the new member of our team."
Grissom introduces her each member of the team, but when she and Nick cross their sights, both eyes were shining.
"Where are you Madison?" – Cath asks.
"Los Angeles, but I was born and grown up in San Francisco."
Sara smiles when she hears the name of her city, and looks Madison very friendly.
Madison is the rookie, and in everyone minds was the memory of Holly Gribbs. Grissom looks worried, so he tells Sara that she takes in charge of the supervision of Madison.
(Five Weeks Later)
Madison is one more, like she always has been there. She is a very special person for the team. For Brass and Doc. Robbins she is like a daughter and they give some advices, and take care about her. And for Greg, Madison is like a younger sister; both are an only child, and Madison is alone in the city.
(Some day in the parking lot)
Madison puts her tool case in her car, when one hand holds her very strongly.
"Madison."
"Adam… what are you doing here?" – She tries to put him away, but she can't.
"I came here for you. We belongs each other."
"Adam we broke up, long time ago."
"You push me away of your life, not me."
"Adam! Leave me alone."
Nick and Grissom are parking the SUV and watch that scene.
"Madison, are you all right?" – Nick asks.
"Yeah, he'll go now." – Madison looks Adam with angry, and he walks away.
Grissom walks in towards of her: "Who is he?"
"Nobody boss, nobody."
"Sure?"
"Yes. Well, I have to go, good night." – Madison gets into her car and leave.
(On the next morning)
Madison is so frustrated in the lab. She goes to the lounge room and finds Sara there, who just looks her.
"I have nothing, just clean clothes. No spots, no fibers… zero, nothing." She sits on the couch.
"You're a liar, what's happen with you Madds?"
Madison frees her hair of her pony tail: "My ex boyfriend was here yesterday, he is bothering a little."
"Take care about that Maddy, could be dangerous."
"I don't think so."
"Why you defend him?" – Sara looks very serious.
Nick was walking by the hall, but he can't avoid stop and listen that conversation.
Maddy takes a deep breath: "I was a very different person until the last year." Maddy takes out her wallet, and shows Sara one picture.
"You don't recognize me… 60 pounds more, and no social life. Adam came into my life. We're together almost for 2 years, but I was transferred to Los Angeles, for finish my studies and there I start a treatment and my exercise plan… and here I am."
Sara looks surprised, and she would say something, but her pager starts to sound.
"Be careful Maddy, OK?"
Sara walks out, and Nick comes in.
"Hello beauty girl."
"Hi handsome guy" - She answered him, at the same time that she puts on her glasses and gathers her hair in the pony tail, but Nick stops her.
"No, don't do it."
"Why?"
"You look so pretty without the tail." Nick takes the picture that Madison leaves in the couch.
"Don't say that Nick." Madison tries to takes him the photo away, but he looks it and gives.
"It's the truth." - Nick took her hand. "You're a really pretty woman Maddy; you don't have a doubt about it." Nick stoles her rubber hair band, and put it in the back pocket of his pants.
"If you want the rubber, you should take out with your own hands." – Nick smiles.
She looks him and similes: "Well, if you ask me that with that simile, its hard don't think about it."
Both laugh a lot, and since that day, a weird game development between them. Every time that Madison wears a pony tail, Nick steals her rubber, and she let him do that.
Everyone in the crime lab observes this strange dynamic… dynamic that only Madison and Nick understand: Looks, smiles, beautiful words, but no dates. Nick perceives Madison's insecurities, and that's a power reason to not force her.
"Why don't you go and asks her for a date?" – Greg looks Nick very seriously.
"I said the same." – Sara tells him.
"Well, because I don't want scare her. Don't want to push her."
"You don't, just you have to be honest. Also you look so good together." – Sara smiles him.
Nick just laugh, and Madison was walking by outside the room in that they are working. Nick looks her like a teenager. Sara looks him: "You can't change Stokes… you can't."
(The next shift)
The shift is almost to start. Grissom begins to assigns the cases, but someone is missing.
"Where's Madison?"
"Maybe she is parking her car, she never came late." – Greg answers him, but he was interrupted by Brass.
"Guys, I need you all of you."
"What's happening?" Warrick ask worried.
"Madison is a hostage at her home."
Nick stands up quickly: "What are we waiting for? Go!"
