This is my first CSI fanfic.

This chapter is the basic introductions, but if you like it – you are in for some big major drama around Chapter Three.

As I have not seen all of CSI, I will base this on what I have seen and it will be set around Season 5/6.

Disclaimer: I do not own the CSI or any of it characters.

Enjoy!

Please Read and Review

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The bustling CSI labs in Las Vegas are a maze to anyone unfamiliar to it. It can take some time to get used to, especially for a newcomer to the CSI team.

……..

A female, stopped at the reception desk that morning. The receptionist looked up.

"Hello," said the woman, "I am looking for a Gil Grissom's office," she said, showing the receptionist a pass and a letter.

The receptionist directed her through the glass doors to her left, then turn right, left and right again. The woman smiled in thanks and went off looking for the office.

Somewhat lost she decided to stop and ask for further directions. Stopping at a somewhat messy break room, she knocked the door and entered. A tall, muscly man, sporting a black CSI vest turned from the coffee machine and smiled.

"I am looking for a Gil Grissom's office and I did ask for directions at reception, but here I am, still looking!" she said in a friendly tone.

He surveyed her for a moment and said, "You must be the new CSI," to which he got a nod and a smile in response.

Her stepped forward and offered out his hand' "CSI Nick Stokes, pleased to meet you."

She took his hand in hers, shook it and replied, "CSI Jay Michaels, and likewise!"

"Follow me he gestured," pointing towards the door, "Let's go find Gil Grissom."

Nick and Jay walked down the corridor, past several offices, two labs and finally came to an office door. Stuck On it were the letters 'G. Grissom'. Nick knocked and walked in, gesturing for Jay to follow.

"Hey Gris," Nick called.

He responded by looking up from his computer and books and many files that were scattered all over his desk.

Grissom looked at both of them.

"Meet your new CSI, Jay Michaels," Nick said.

Grissom got up and came over to Jay, surveying and taking in information all of the while, he shook her hand and said, "Great to meet you finally," he paused and smiled. Jay responded with the same courtesy.

"Nicky, could you take Jay to out locker room so that she can leave her rucksack there and show her where places are, whilst I get the team together in the break room to get introduced and acquainted?" Grissom inquired.

"Sure, I would love to," replied Nick, beckoning the way to the locker room.

After a short walk they arrived at a quite narrow, long locker room, with lockers on either side of benches running up the middle of the room. He pointed to an empty locker at the far end and handed her the key for it that had been taped to the notice board. She placed her rucksack inside it.

"Ready," he asked, "for the grand tour of the CSI labs" he said jokingly and off they set, eventually ending up back at the locker room.

"Time to meet the team," he said, "none of us bite, but watch out for Greg, he is a little strange to say the least," he laughed heading off towards the break room.

When they got there, the team were all already there. Five people, three men and two women were scattered around the room, some on the sofa, the table, leaning against the worktop, and one spiky haired blonde halfway in the fridge.

As Nick and Jay walked in, Grissom cleared his throat – for attention.

He stood up from the couch and said, "Everyone, meet your new colleague, CSI Jay Michaels."

A murmur of 'hello' traveled around the room.

The man seated at the table stood up and shook hands, "I am Warrick," he said.

This was repeated by a blonde woman called Catherine, another woman, with dark hair called Sara, and the spiky-haired man called Greg. At this introduction Jay turned to Nick and smiled.

Grissom asked her to tell the others about her self.

She agreed and began.

"Hello, I am Jay," her broad accent came through on this statement and the others seemed to pick up on it too. "I come here after a few placements, gaining my training in America, but I have around 15 years experience from home. I look forward to getting to know you all better and I Thank You all for the welcome."

"Where is 'hone'?" Greg asked.

"Scotland," came the reply.

"OK," said Grissom, "I got some new assignments this morning. He passes around three case folders. Nick, you are with me, Sara you are with Warrick, and Catherine, you can work with Jay, OK?" everyone nodded and motioned to leave.

"First things first, let's get you some gear," said Catherine moving towards the locker room.

She walked to the end of it, past the lockers and around the corner to a store cupboard and opened it. She handed Jay a CSI LV vest and cap, and handed her a CSI kit, which also bore the initials CSI LV.

The two women donned their vests and headed out through the CSI offices to the car park and into Catherine's CSI car.

"So tell me about yourself…'" Catherine started as they went on their way to their Crime Scene.
