Sitting on a chair by Horatio's desk is a woman dressed in Black Jeans and a smart blouse. her jacket is over the back of the chair; Her gun is laying on H's desk along with her badge and warrant card and other paperwork.
Delko is the first to enter the office, (He can't keep his eyes of her) calleigh is close behind followed by the rest of the team.
"Good Morning, I would like to Introduce a new face to the team, This is Detective Rosea Edwards she is a Forensic Detective From Cambridge, England but is joining us from our colleagues in Vegas where she has spent the last Two years" Horatio informs them. (Delko isn't listening. He's too busy looking Rosea up and Down)
"Hello, Please call me Rosie,"
With that Horatio's cell phone bleeps, it's dispatch informing him of another two murders of pregnant women.
"Calleigh, Ryan, Natalia you take one, Tripp will be with you. Alexx will meet you there. Rosie will be with Eric and me."
As they get up to go Delko asks.
"H, do we need to get Rosie an evidence kit?"
"No offence, but i have my own thank you, I bought it from England with me when i joined the team in Vegas" Says Rosie as she puts her jacket on.
Eric notices that Rosie's Jacket is Leather and that she has picked up her bits from H's desk.
She also picks up a motorbike Helmet from under the chair she was sitting on. They all head down in the lift to the parking lot..
Horatio passes a set of keys to Rosie and says " these are keys for a Hummer in which all your evidence gear is to be put."
"Sorry, Boss but i've got my own set of wheels" tapping her Helmet and passing the keys back to Horatio,
Ryan pulls away showing H and Eric what was parked behind the Hummer.
A Silver BWM motorbike with two large panniers on the back, Rosie heads towards it, Eric and H follow her, "if Speedle was here he'd be in his element right now," Eric whispers to Horatio. H nods in agreement. Rosie looks over at them and see them looking
"My bike, It's got all the latest Gadgets and Gizmo's on it, Sat Nav, GPS tracking etc and of course my Evidence collecting kits along with computer equipment. Just call me a lab on two wheels!"
Rosie Climbs on and starts her bike up.
"i'll follow you, the Sat Nav is still programmed for the vegas street system and i haven't been able to up date it yet".
Horatio looks at Eric "2 wheels or four?"
"i'll come with you H and come back on the bike with Rosie," Eric says.
Eric and Horatio talk as they drive to the scene, (Eric keeps checking the wing mirrors to make sure Rosie is following them)
"She's cute, How good is she at her job?"
"with what CSI Catherine Willows told me over the phone, Rosie is a brilliant Criminologist; she solved five high profiled cases in vegas and has moved up to a level 3 CSI before moving here. She will Cooper a run for his money, she is a bit of a whiz at AV and computers. Eric you have that look in your eyes!"
"what look H?" eric asks
"The look you have when Nataila is around" H replys
They arrive at the scene, Rosie pulls up beside them and sets some of her equipment up off her bike,
Eric can't help but watch her, with that Alexx arrives and starts to examine the body. She notices Eric is watching Rosie.
Eric and H start processing the scene, when Alexx yells "Horatio, this lady is still alive, somebody call Rescue, her pulse is weak but she's hanging on."
Two Days Later Unfortunately the Lady dies on the Operating table.
Two Weeks Later.
Horatio has sent Eric and Rosie out on a case and they are on her bike. Gun fire had been heard at the address so Eric is being cautious he has his gun drawn and so does Rosie.
Halfway into the building a shot is fired from above them, it hits Rosie on her upper arm leaving a graze before entering the wall behind her. both of them throw themselves to the floor.
"you ok" Eric asks her
"i'll live Eric, it's only a graze, been in worse situatios then that. if you're a good boy I might just show you the scars later on," she says with a wicked smile on her face.
with that two officers race up the stairs and take the shooter into custody. it is only a child of 11 years and he is scared that his mothers attacker had come back, Horatio questions the lad who gives a fuzzy account of what happen.
Layering in the kitchen is the mother, throat and stomach slit open, foetus is missing.
"Delko, It looks like we may have another child here somewhere, there is a trail of small child sized footprints leading away from the body, out of the Patio door and across the yard." Rosie says to him
Rosie takes photos and follows the trail to a small playhouse, she opens the door slowly, inside is a small girl of 3,
"hello, my names Rosie, Whats yours?" Rosie holds out her hand the small girl takes it and is gently lead out, Horatio appears beside Rosie.
"We are police officers, What's your name sweetheart?" H asks the child.
"my names is Lucie, and i'm 3, mommy ill, she not moving."
Lucie opens her hand showing Rosie an Earring.
"Pretty, Mommy wears things like this"
"is this one of mommy's pretty things?" H asks
"no,the ladies from the hospital, she hit mommy and mommy hit her back."
"do you think i can have that?"Rosie asks pointing to the earring in Lucie's hand.
Lucie nods and pop's it into the envelope Rosien is holding.
"Good girl, i think your big brother is out the front of the house, would you like to go for a ride in an ambulance?" H asks the child, Luice nods
H instructs the EMT's to collect all of Lucie's clothes, bag and tag them and then deliver them to the crime lab.
H and Rosie re enter the house Eric looks up,
" sorry following a lead out to the yard. are you coming back with me or H?" Rosie asks Delko
"With H, I need to talk to him about something."
" ok then see ya both back at base."
Rosie walks out of the house unware Eric is watching her bottom as she walks towards her bike, she is surprised to see Alexx standing next to it.
"Rosie Honey, you got an admirer, Eric has been watching you ever since you arrived two weeks ago."
"Alexx, I know he has, i have a soft spot for him as well & i don't know how to go about the matter,"
with that both women drive away, leaving H and Eric getting into H's Hummer. Horatio pulls away
"what's troubling you, Eric?"
"Rosie Is, Ever since that first day in your office, H, and the more time we spend working cases together, the more i have fallen in love with her. I'm frightened that my Ex Gloria finds out i have another new girlfriend., she will do something to harm Rosie. You know what happened with Natalia and marisol, well i don't want to put Rosie at the hands of Gloria."
"Eric, does Rosie know how you feel about her?"
"I don't think so H!"
They pull up outside the lab,
"Eric, Tell her before someone else does, ask her out for a meal tonight and see what happens. i will meet up with you inside. i need to talk to Rosie about the case."
Horatio finds Rosie restoring her bike supplies in the CSI garage, he walks over to her.
"Hi H, what can i help you with?"asks Rosie
"Can I suggest something to you?"says H
Horatio Explains and gives Rosie an idea. Rosie tells horatio how she feels about Eric and what Alexx had told her, H nods and leaves to find Delko.
30 minutes later Eric finds her in the garage still doing maintenance on her bike, she is in the middle of changing the oil and getting it ready for the next day.
"Rosie, I was wondering if you would like to go grab a bite to eat later on tonight?"Eric asks her.
"Eric, i would love to, what time shall i pick you up?"
"Pick me up? on what?" a puzzled Eric asks.
"On my bike, but not this one" patting the leather seat with her hand.
"Ok about 8ish, that will give us both time to gey washed & changed, speaking of which you have oil on your right cheek."
Rosie rubs her face puting even more oil on her cheek. Eric takes a cloth a wipes it away, then gives her a quick kiss on the cheek and walks out of the garage smiling. Rosie spots H and gives him the thumbs up.
