I don't own CSI. But Melody Jones is my character.

Melody's POV.

It was my first day at the Las Vegas crime lab. I was in the break room with the other CSI waiting for my assignment.

"Everybody meet our new CSI Melody Jones." Dr. Grissom said nodding towards me.

My first assignment was with CSI Sanders and CSI Sidle. After the rest the assignments were handed out everyone left except for two of the CSI and myself. The guy approached me first.

"Hi I'm CSI Sanders, but you can call me Greg." He said offering his hand for me to shake.

Next the girl walked up to me. "Hi I'm CSI Sidle, but you can call me Sara." She said also offering her hand for me to shake.

"Nice to meet you Sara and Greg." I offered with a small smile.

At the crime scene

"So what do we have?" I asked one of the officers.

"Family walked in on a robber. The parents were murdered and their daughter won't move from beside their bodies." He replied showing us to the livingroom where two officers and a coroner were trying to get a little girl about eight away from our two dead bodies.

"Hey we can take it from here." I said to the officers knowing they weren't going to get the little girl to go anywhere.

Greg went to talk to the coroner and Sara went to talk to the neighbor that found the bodies.

"Hey my names CSI Melody Jones. Can you tell me your name?" I asked bending down to where the girl was sitting.

When she didn't acknowledge me I gently touched her shoulder to get her attention.

"Are you deaf?" I signed to her glad I was fluent in ASL because of my deaf brother.

She nodded yes and I signed "I'll be right back I am going to talk to my friend for a sec."

When she looked at the ground I went to find Sara.

"I figured out why the officers couldn't get her to move. It's because she's deaf." I said to Sara as I walked to the kitchen were she was dusting for finger prints.

"Okay so we need to get an interpreter. I'll call Brass." Sara said reaching for her phone.

"No, I can interpret my older brothers deaf." I said puting my hand out in a stop jester.

"Okay, why don't you take her to the police station. Ask for Jim Brass and you two can interview her." Sara said going back to work.

"Okay, Just let Grissom and Greg know where I'm at if they start looking for me." I said walking back down stairs.

When I got down stairs I bent back down in front of the little girl gently taping her shoulder.

"Why don't you tell me your name and then I'll tell you mine."

"L-i-d-i-a" She finger spelled and then showed me her name sign.

"M-e-l-e-d-y" I also finger spelled then I showed her the sign my brother had given me.

The I signed. "My friends and l are going to find out who did this to your parents, but we need your help. Why don't you come with me to the station so you can get cleaned up and I can ask you a few questions ok?" After I finished signing I offered her my hand which she slowly took. Then we walked out to my SUV and I drove to the station.

Please let me know what you think and Lidia is also mine. I went back and fixed a few mistakes. Is it any better than before?
