FOR BETH! (Hugs Beth) Beth0987

CSI: Midgar… what happens to the deceased and retired CSIs from America? They get shipped of to work at Midgar in Final Fantasy 7 land. Yelina Salas, Tim Speedle, Holly Gribbs and Aiden Burns make up The MCPD. (Midgar City Police Department) They are determined to catch murderers wherever they may hide, and bring justice to victims.

Disclaimer: I do not own any CSI related characters, nor any Final Fantasy 7 characters. Any additional characters that appear during the whole story are more than likely to be my friends, so they pretty much own themselves.

Midgar was in a sad and sorry state. Several Mako reactors had fallen victim to the dreaded terrorist group Avalanche some weeks ago, and even now the MCPD was having black outs. To cap it all off, the new president of Shinra, Rufus, had been planning to put budget cuts into effect.

Not that budget cuts had ever stopped CSIs from working before. Everyone was used to handling some level of politics and could survive on low-key forensics. But Yelina Salas had thought she would never have to go through the life of a CSI again. She had, after all, retired as a CSI: she'd settled down with her family in Brazil. She never thought of ending up joining a police department ever again. All the others in the group had the same feelings. Tim and Holly were both shot; they should be dead! As for Aiden, she herself became a victim of murder! Why are they here with her? Was this planet some kind of… Heaven? If so, why was she here at all? How did she get here? Is she… dead?

Yelina got out of the shower and wrapped the nearest towel around her. She grabbed a smaller towel and wrapped her wet hair up into a cocoon. Yelina hovered above the sink and looked into the misty mirror, letting her thoughts take her away. All these questions remained unanswered. Why? Why! WHY? But she never found answers, because whenever she tried to find any, the damned phone would go off.

And right on cue… the phone on the other room began to ring sharply, the noise buzzing in her ears. Yelina moved away from the cramped bathroom and made her way into the living room/bedroom. Climbing over the sofa bed and holding on to her towel for dear life, she made her way to the phone through the mess. Yelina picked it up and automatically answered "Salas"

The bright and cheerful voice of a female on the other line replied "It's Holly, we have a…" but before she could finish her sentence, Yelina filled in the gaps. It was pretty obvious.

"Murder." They always had a homicide. There was nothing else. When the whole business of the terror attacks and Meteor business started there has been nothing BUT homicides. Holly sighed. She was getting used to the constant stream of work as well.

"Meet me at Kalm, I'll take you to the scene, Yelina."

"Ten minutes." Yelina put the phone down and began a hunt for a fresh set of clothes. So much for early morning ironing…
