Conrad Ecklie is assistant director of a group of people known as CRIME SCENE INVESTAGATORS, or CSI. They come from various backgrounds and perform a variety functions, but if you were to simplify what they do - they all work together to solve crimes.
The night shift consists of Gilbert (Gil) Grissom. Gil is a well known forensic entomologist - the buy guy, Catherine Willows is second in charge. The rest of the team consists of a soft spoken Texan named Nickolas (Nick) Stokes, Warrick (Rick) Brown and the former Sandra Miller.
It is Miss Millers wedding that has brought a smile to Conrad's face. The NEW Mrs. Keller will be moving to Washington with her husband.
Now you may ask WHY WOULD THAT MAKE MR. ECKLIE HAPPY? The reason is simple, it opens a spot on the night shift and Conrad has the perfect person in mind to fill it. Two years ago Conrad attended a mandatory meeting of area supervisor's, that year it was hosted in San Francisco.
Each supervisor was assigned a member of the local CSI to be there driver. Conrad's was a firecracker of a lady named Sara Sidle. Sara is one of the best investigators that the San Francisco team ever had, but Sara has a deep secret that causes her to tend to be a loner and a bit of a hothead. Her supervisor had said that all Sara needs is someone to take her under their wing - you know guide her and be her mentor.
Conrad had no time for such a thing but he thought that Grissom would be just the one to handle her. "If anyone can straighten Sara up it will be Grissom," Conrad had told Jasper Hill, Sara's supervisor, when he had asked if he thought Miss Sidle would be interested in relocating to Vegas. All the arrangements were made and Sara would be joining the team in a few days.
"I need everyone's attention," Conrad said, just as Grissom was about to hand out assignments for the evening, "I have found someone to fill the hole in your shift. Starting tomorrow a young lady I meant in San Francisco will be joining out team, her name is Sara Sidle." He handed Grissom a folder with all of Sara's personal information in it. "I know she will fit in," Conrad said, as he left. Grissom mumbled something as he passed out assignments. Later that shift Grissom read through the papers Conrad had handed him:
SARA SIDLE - age 35 - CSI grade III - graduated top of her class from the UNIVERSITY of SAN FRANCISCO - she has a BA in Criminal Justice and a MS in crime analysis.
"This lady must be a genius," Grissom said to himself. In her psychological file Grissom seen his evaluation was right on the money:
Sara Sidle was examined by me as a part of her pre-hire. She has an IQ of 150. She has something in her past that I can't bring out and because of whatever this is she tends to be a little of a "lose cannon". I believe under the right supervision Miss Sidle will be an excellent addition to your team. signed Dr. Warren Butler.
Grissom smiled, "Another lost lamb for my little flock."
It seemed like Grissom got all the "lost causes". Catherine was a former erotic dancer, Warrick has a juvenile record and a gambling problem and Nick - Nick used to work in Dallas, it was there that his best friend and former partner was arrested for drug trafficking. Nick had not been able to get a job in Texas after that. Nick's father, a well known District Attorney in Dallas, suggested Nick to for the job. Shortly after Nick was hired a very expensive piece of equipment was donated to the lab by an anonymous donor connected with Dallas. A lot of people think that Mr. Stokes the elder, bought his son the spot on the team. Of course he didn't but - well we all know how people are.
Gil clocked out and headed for his car. On the way home it started to rain, just ahead Gil noticed a car pulled over to the side of the road. As he got closer he noticed the car had a flat tire, there was a petite brunette trying to change it.
Grissom pulled up behind the car, put on his flashers and walked up to the car.
"Need a hand?" he asked. "Thanks," she said, "I can't seem to break this nut loose." "Get in the car and I'll take care of it for you," Gil told the lady.
When he had finished the young lady tried to pay him, "Just stay safe," he said. The young lady tried to start her car, the battery had died.
The lady swore under her breath, "Maybe moving to Vegas was a bad idea."
"How about I buy you a cup of coffee and give you a lift home," Gil said. The lady accepted. In the diner Gil finally got a good look at the lady.
"My God, she is breathtaking," he said to himself. The lady smiled and Gil's heart melted as Cupid's arrow of love hit him and hit him hard.
"I should introduce my self," Gil said, "Gil Grissom."
The lady smiled again, "You have got to be kidding?"
"Excuse me?" Gil said.
"Perhaps I should introduce my self," the lady said, taking his extended hand, "Sara Sidle."
Future chapters depends on the opinions of my readers. If I do add more, you can be sure it will be GSR all the way and some sweet smut.
