Beta: Vigg, the BEST beta you can find. Without her this story would still be a thought in my head

Spoilers: Yes (Not sure what but I know there is)

A/N: I don't own CSI, Twilight or Edward Cullen, even thou I would love to, but I would settle for just being Edward girlfriend. This is also AU.

Sara Sidle is 35 years old. She was born on September 16th, 1972 to Laura Sidle in San Francisco, California. She spent most of her childhood life in foster care because of her mother, who stabbed her father to death when Sara was about 10. During high school Sara was labeled as a "science geek". In 1984 the court held the case of "The People vs. Laura Sidle" in Modesto. At the age of 16, Sara was accepted to Harvard where she received a Bachelor's degree in Theoretical Physics, and later received a Masters at U.C Berkeley. After college, Sara moved back to San Francisco where she worked in a Coroners Office. After becoming a CSI level three the Las Vegas crime lab asked her if she would like to come work for them on the night shift. Sara accepted and has now lived there for four years.

"GREG!" Sara yelled as she came into the crime lab break room.

"What?" A spiky-haired and listens-to-music-obnoxiously-loud lab tech replied.

"What are you doing with my file?"

"M-me?"

"Yeah, you!"

"Um…"

"Greg…"

"Okay, well I'm making you a Friend Agenda page, and I need some background on you to put in the biography page."

"What?…Wait, what's…a 'Friend Agenda' page?"

"Oh, it's this new website where you make an account then you can customize a page about yourself."

"Greg, I don't want a Friend Agenda page!"

"But, I have one and I need more FRIENDS!"

"Make one for Cath." She stated.

"I already asked her."

"Wait, you asked Cath, but couldn't ask me, your now Ex-best friend?"

"Um…"

"Yeah I thought so. You better delete that and give me my file, and if you tell anyone anything you read in there…Just remember I know how to hide a body so no one can find it."

"Okay, okay, it's being deleted now, and here." Greg handed Sara her file and moved his hand back as fast as possible.

"Thank you," Sara said as she walked out of the break room to go put her file under lock and key.

About thirty minutes later supervisor Rainy handed out assignments for the night. Catherine, Rainy's second-hand CSI and Warrick, a tall, deep green-eyed African American CSI got a B&E in Summerlin, Greg and Nick, a nice, not half-bad lookin' CSI from Texas, had to finish up a case from two nights ago, Rainy gave himself a case of a body found in the desert, and Sara was stuck with paperwork and not allowed to go out into the field for another week because she was over booked on overtime again. Ecklie, the crime lab supervisor of all supervisors, said that Sara was single-handedly moving the budget into a very deep hole. Sara, of course, didn't care. No one cared what Ecklie thought or said or did; no one cared about Ecklie period.

After six hours of mind-numbing paper work, Sara was close to going insane. It was around three in the morning and she still had four more hours to go. She would be lucky if she made it out alive tonight. Her fingers hurt, she had a headache...close to becoming a migraine, her butt hurt from sitting for such a long period of time, and she had gone through four cups of coffee. That was when the phone rang...

"CSI Three Sidle,"

"Miss Sidle?"

"Yes…?" She hated when people asked questions she had just answered.

"I'm Jane with the West Side Hospital in San Francisco."

"Okay…" Why do I care? Sara thought with an exasperated look on her face. Oh, wait, that's right I don't-

"Your mother was in a car accident last night,"

"What?! Is she alright?"

"Well she made it through the night, but the doctors say she doesn't have much longer,"

"How bad?"

"You might want to get some time off, ma'am,"

"It's that bad?"

"Yes, Miss Sidle, When will you be able to come out?"

"I-I'll leave when I get off work,"

"You work nights?"

"Yes, I do."

"Do you have any other family you would like us to contact?"

"Well, uh, I have a brother somewhere...His name is Jacob,"

"Okay, we'll try to get a hold of him."

"Thank you,"

"You're welcome; see you soon Miss Sidle,"

"Jane? Call me Sara."

"Okay. See you soon Sara."

"Thanks, bye," Sara wasn't sure what to do.

She had to move, do something, anything but she couldn't. She hadn't spoken to her mom in years. She got a letter before her move to Vegas that her mom had be released from prison for good behavior, but she never called or went to see her. If she could have it her way she would never see her again, but nothing ever works out for Sara.

Right at that moment Warrick walked in with some type of take-out food and a cup of coffee. Sara was close to vomiting, and the smell of Warrick's food pushed her over the edge and she went running for the bathroom. A few moments later a very pale looking Sara walked back into the break room to find a confused looking Warrick eating a burrito, and Cath sitting across from him drink the cup of coffee Warrick walked in with.

"Sorry Warrick, I didn't mean to run out on you like that. It was just the smell of your burrito," Sara said as she pointed.

"It's alright Sara. You have fun here by yourself?"

"Yeah so much I can hardly speak,"

"Is everything okay, Sara? You seem a little off." Cath said looking at the pale Sara who was leaning on the door jam.

"Yeah I'm fine, but I'm going to be taking the next couple weeks off,"

"Why?" Both Cath and Warrick asked at the same time.

"I need to go back to San Francisco. My mom's sick,"

"This is a first.."

"What?" Sara asked confused.

"You are taking time off and you are talking about your mom. What did you do with our Sara?"

"Nothing, just leave it alone. No more questions Cath."

"Can I ask you questions?"

"No," Sara said with no emotion.

"Okay," Warrick answered before he took a bite of his burrito. He shrugged and glanced at Catherine. "I tried."

"I'm gonna head over to talk to Rainy, see you guys later. And If I don't get the chance, tell Greg that he lost the bet. He'll know what you mean."

"'Kay; hope your mom gets better Sara."

"Thanks," Sara said over her shoulder as she walked down the hall to Rainy's office.
