Chapter 1

This story takes place around the second episode, when Sara moves to Vegas!! I hope you like it.

Sara was sitting on the couch, in the living room of her San Francisco townhouse, when she heard the telephone ringing.

"Hello?" She answered.

"Sara Sidle?" Asked the manly voice from the other end.

"This is she." Sara replied.

"Hey Sara, its Gil Grissom, how've you been?"

"Oh Gil! Great how about you?"

"Good, I just called to ask you something?"

"What's that?"

"One of our CSI's has been shot and she is in critical condition, and they don't seem to think she is going to make it…"

"Oh my gosh, that's horrible."

"I was wondering if you would want to come and work for me, here at the Las Vegas crime lab."

Sara was hesitant at first but she quickly replied, "Sure Grissom I would love to."

"Great Sara, how quickly can you be here?"

"Is tomorrow okay?" She asked.

"That's fine. The sooner you can get here the better." He replied.

"Okay Grissom I'll see you soon."

Sara hung up the phone and quickly jumped up and ran into her daughter's bedroom.

She was not surprised to find her fifteen year old daughter lying on her bed, instant messaging her friends.

Sara knocked on the door and as she opened it she said, "Ava Marie, honey, I need to talk to you."

"Sure mom what is it?" Ava answered.

Sara sat down on the bed next to her daughter.

"Ava, I got a job offer this afternoon and I believe I'm going to take it which means you and I are going to be moving to a different state and you'll be going to a different school."

"You can't be serious." Ava replied.

"I'm afraid I am."

"But all my friends are here." Ava said becoming upset with her mother.

"I'm sorry but this is going to be better for you and me."

Ava didn't want to continue to argue with her mother so she sighed heavily and asked, "Where are we moving to?"

"Las Vegas, Nevada." Sara answered as she stood up from the bed. "So you need to get your things packed as soon as possible because we are leaving tomorrow night."

"What about my school?" Ava asked.

"We are going to go turn all your things in tomorrow and tell them that you are moving." Sara said as she began to walk out of her daughter's bedroom.

"Mom, can I go out with my friends tonight since it is the last time I'll get to see them for a while?" Ava asked hoping her mother would say yes.

"Sure I guess, if you get your things packed." Sara answered.

-------------------------------Later that night-------------------------------

Ava had everything she wanted into her suitcases, see as she couldn't take everything with her right now she just packed what she really needed, until she could come back and get the rest later.

Sara almost had everything packed; she was excited about moving to Vegas, and starting a new life with her daughter. What Sara didn't know is that she was about to see someone from her past, someone who she thought she would never see again, that someone was Ava's father.
