A/N: Wow here I am back at it. It has been so long since I have written fan fiction or written period. I've been a mom for a year now and that pretty much takes all of my time, but this is so great for relieving stress. Just to sit and let my imagination run wild. I hope everyone is ready!

I'm In It With You

Chapter 1

Fuck! Seriously!

My mind was running wild. It was my first day at a new job and everything seemed to be going wrong, but when had my life ever gone to plan. It was bad enough I had to move in with my parents until this job thing panned out and now my piece of junk car had broken down. Seriously how did I get here?

I closed my eyes for a moment trying to find a small fraction of calm to get through. There was already a line of cars forming behind me and I just needed my car to start. Opening my eyes I took a deep breath. Turning the key I heard the engine struggle and suddenly my car was once again running. All I could do in that moment was look up and smile.

Thank you!

Surely someone up there was looking after me. After the year I've had I needed a little reassurance in the universe.

On my way again I was off to attempt to make it to my new job on time. I was shaking with nervousness as I pulled into the parking garage of the Las Vegas Police Department. I looked around at all the pretty nice cars and I found a spot in a corner for my sad excuse for a car. When I turned the engine off I just prayed that when I got off work at 6am it would start up for me again. I grabbed my purse and the brown paper bag next to it. It really showed how broke I was bringing my brown paper bag lunch to work.

Breathe girl!

I walked through the doors and made my way pass the receptionist desk flashing the swanky laminated badge I had been provided in the days prior. It was now my third time coming here, but it would be my first official day working. I walked down the halls towards the locker room I was showed on my last visit. There was a locker at the end waiting for me. I took off my jacket and placed it inside along with my purse and my lunch. I then pulled out the blue lab jacket that I had been provided with.

Leaving the locker room I walked down to my bosses office. My boss was a peculiar fellow, but seemed nice enough. Heck he was giving me a chance. It was time to finally put that Biology Degree to work. I knocked on the doorsill and the man at the desk looked up at me. He had short white hair and wore glasses.

"Umm hello!" I said quietly feeling the nervousness kick in again. "Here for my first day, Sir.." I then added feeling like a total loser. Of course he knew I was here for my first day, he hired me.

"Oh yeah, yeah. Tiffany. Let me take you into the lab and introduce you to everyone." He said as he stood from his desk and then walked over to me. "And drop the Sir. Just call me DB or Russell, but none of that sir mess."

"Yes Sir…umm yeah." I said stuttering. I needed to calm down. This was my first real day of a new start.

"Over here in the break room there are Sara and Morgan. Girls this is Tiffany Bryan she is the new DNA Tech." DB said as he introduced me to the two women. One of them had long blonde hair and the other short dark brown hair. They both gave me a smile. I gave a small wave in response before being showed down the hall.

"Down here is the fingerprint lab and there is Mandy hard at work and over here is Toxicology with Henry and there is Trace with David Hodges." I gave all of the new faces a quick smile.

"In here is your domain… DNA." I smiled, as I looked around at all the equipment. I couldn't wait to get into it all. It had been awhile since I was in a lab and I was so excited to get to work.

"Hey Russell there you are." Said a voice from behind us in a southern accent. We both turned and there was a man standing in the doorway. I was trying my best to not blush. Could he be real? Was it this possible for a man to be this attractive? He was built perfectly with muscular arms in a tight black t-shirt and he has the perfect bone structure in his face. I felt like I was getting a hot flash.

SNAP OUT OF IT GIRL!

"Mark Collins was just picked up on a traffic stop. He is being brought down to PD now. I was heading over there." The man said. He then laid his eyes on me. I felt my face getting hot. "Hi I'm sorry. You must be the new DNA tech?"

"Yeah Nick this is Tiffany, Tiffany this is Nick." DB said introducing us.

"Hi." I was all I could manage out of my mouth. I felt like my mouth was suddenly dry.

"Hey nice to meet you." He said giving me a reassuring smile.

"Well I will head over to PD with you." DB then responded to Nick before turning to me. "Alright Tiffany this is all yours. Have fun!"

"Good luck on your first day." Nick then said to me before he and DB excited the lab and there I was all-alone. My first day was officially starting. I sat down at the desk in the corner not really knowing what to do. Where was I to start.=?

"Hey new girl." Said a female voice. It was the fingerprint girl Many.

"Umm hi." I said nervously.

"Glad to get some more girls in the lab who aren't CSIs." She said as she came and sat on the edge of my desk. "We've been without an official DNA person for awhile now since Wendy left. The dorks across the hall have been sharing the job, but mostly Henry." She explained to me.

"Everyone around here is pretty cool though." She added.

"That's good." I responded.

"So are you new to Vegas?" she asked.

"Kind of. My parents moved here when they retired a couple years ago. I've visited a few times, but now I get the joy of being 32 and living with my parents again." I explained; feeling like such a loser. I had a pretty intense life up until now and I was really looking for a moment or two of calm.

"Ouch!" she said.

"Yeah a huge blow to my ego, but I get to start over and that is all that matters right now." I said happily.

"Hey why do you get to interrogate the new girl first?" came a new male voice. Walking inside was the guy I was shown in the Trace lab. "Hello M'Lady. David Hodges at your service. I know everything and anything there is to know about this place." He said smugly as he gave my hand a kiss.

"Oh God don't scare her away!" said a voice coming from the doorway. It was Henry.

I really didn't know how to respond to these people. They seemed like a quirky bunch. I smiled. They were just what I needed to get past everything I have been going through. If I was going to start over I think a bunch of quirky people were what I needed as a distraction from everything I had been dealing with over the past years.

Let my new start begin!
