Ch1: National Security

"Greg, what is going on?" I asked, he was standing there, next to

David and Tony... I mean Vartann.

"Ecklie said not to touch anything, he said we have to wait" Greg said playing with his pockets.

"Why? Who is the victim?" I said, Vartann came over and I smiled to him.

"The victim is Captain James Hilton, army, shot twice" Ecklie said, I turned to him.

"Why can't my guys process the scene?"

"I have my orders, Catherine" he said I crossed my arms "we are waiting for someone?"

"Who?"

"I don't know... I'm waiting for a phone call"

"Well Conrad, evidence is degrading right now as we speak so that call better come soon" I said fixing my hair. Just then Ecklie's phone rang.

"Yes sheriff, where?" he said checking his watch. "Give me a few hours... Bye" I looked at him, questionly.

"So?"

"You are allowed to gather the evidence, however you are not allowed to process anything" Ecklie said turning and leaving.

"Where are you going?" I asked

"Captain Hilton was stationed at Fort Irwin and I am going over there to speak with the MPs on the base..."

"What are you passing the case over to them?"

"No of course not... I am going over to tell them that"

"I am coming" I stated. "Greg collect evidence just 'don't process' any of it" I said winking "I'll call you to check up on things" I winked at Vartann. He and I have been at odds these last couple of days, it sucks because I'm starting to think maybe we are just better off as friends.

Three and a half hours with Ecklie can drive anyone crazy. Luckily I was texting Vartann the whole car ride. Finally we arrived at the base it was full of nice beautiful army guys.

'I gtg I will txt u later' I sent the message. I took off my hat and vest off, it was so hot today.

'Call me later' Vartann texted back.

"Who are you texting?" Ecklie said who was he my dad? Yea as if.

"No one... You ready?" we were escorted in by two young soldiers, who could probably kill us without breaking a sweat. They looked so determined and focus it made me nervous and scared to speak. They escorted us to a Lieutenant General's office, the soldiers were like robots. "Are you going knock?"

"No... You are?"

"The hell I am..." I shot back in a harsh whisper, Ecklie frowned, and luckily for him the General opened the door.

"Hello... Are you the CSIs from Vegas?" he asked.

"I'm not a CSI anymore sir but yea we are from Las Vegas we are here in regards to Captain James Hilton"

"I'm Lieutenant General Allen, and you are?" he said.

"I'm Undersheriff Conrad Ecklie and this is the lead CSI on the case Catherine Willows" the General shook Ecklie's hand rather hard by the expression on Ecklie's face, he gently shook my hand.

"Please come in... So I assume you want jurisdiction?"

"Yes sir, we are prepared to keep you in the loop..."

"I served with Hilton I would be more comfortable if I could send one of my men to help with the investigation"

"I don't see that as a problem, sir"

"Good, I will take you to see him... He's in a classroom... his unit just returned from Haiti" the Lieutenant General said.

We walked into a room filled with desks and file cabinets, and a whole bunch of men in the new camouflage uniforms. Everyone had MP armbands.

"Attention! Officer on the floor!" everyone in the room stood up, it startled me.

"As you were! Sergeant Major Smith front and center!" the lieutenant general yelled, the man who called the original order turned and walked towards us. "Smith, I need your help" Smith was built like a horse,

had dark brown hair, with icy blue eyes, he also had a scar on his eye, like Scarface, and one hiding on his neck, and rigid jaw lines.

"Yes sir," Smith looked at me and smiled... God what a smile and dimples.

"Have you heard about Captain Hilton?"

"Yes sir"

"Will you assist CSI Willows and Undersheriff Ecklie in their investigation?"

"It would be my pleasure, sir"

"Pack your gear up, you're going to stay in Vegas"

"Yes sir" the men saluted each other and Sergeant Major left. Ecklie and I followed once we left the building. Smith finally spoke. "Hello I don't think I caught your first names?"

"I'm Catherine Willows, and this is Conrad Ecklie"

"I'm Sergeant Major Jax Smith"

"Sergeant Major? That is impressive" I said he smiled again.

"Thank you ma'am... Excuse me I'll be right back" he ran inside a building and came back out with a duffel bag.

"That was fast"

"Umm, ma'am I don't have a very wide range in my wardrobe" he said smiling again. "How long did it take you guys to get out here?"

"Three and a half hours..." I said Smith could sense my discomfort and annoyance with Ecklie, I don't know why I agreed to go. Smith chuckled and smiled, and then I remembered good looking army men.

"We can just take a helicopter it will take like 20 minutes maybe a half hour" Smith offered "I don't know about you guys but I hate long car rides... My treat"

"nah... I'm afraid of heights" Ecklie said

"I will... Wait is it safe?" I said, he smiled again.

"Of course ma'am" he said

"Are you sure?"

"Are you doubting the word of a decorated soldier, ma'am?" he said, I smiled making him smile, which made me and him happier.

At that moment I realized, he's going to be bad news for me. He's a gorgeous man, and I actually have a boyfriend or think I do. This is going to be bad… I can't wait!

I realized that i really like doing Catherine's POV tell me if you like if i should continue or no?
