Ok, so this story has been up for awhile, but it's being re-written, chapter by chapter. The basic plot won't really change, but it will be expanded with much more detail, I have new ideas that fit right in. Please review!
The entire night shift was in a meeting, wrapping up old cases and waiting for a new case. Greg was sipping coffee and flicking empty sugar packets at Sarah, while Catherine was updating Nick on how Lindsay was doing. Warrick looked annoyed and was playing with his phone. Grissom walked in the room, setting down a stack of papers and watching his team. Finally clearing his throat, everyone looked up at him and quieted down, Greg tossing one last sugar packet at Sarah and then giving Grissom a "who, me?" look as Grissom raised on eyebrow at him.
"Listen up guys, we have a new CSI joining us. It's been a few weeks of searching, but I think we found someone that will fit in well. Name is Samantha Carter, transferring in from Boston; she was with the crime lab there working in digital forensics, but she just passed her test to become a level one…apparently got sitting in a lab and wanted to be out in the field. She starts tomorrow officially, she'll be in later tonight to fill out paper work. If possible, stop by and introduce yourselves. She'll be assisting on cases right away, but she isn't allowed to collect evidence unsupervised, until I've been able to fully assess her abilities in action."
The night shift seemed a bit surprised and a bit uneasy about the new blood coming in. They had been prepared for it, but it was still strange having a new girl thrust into the chemistry. However, there was not much time to think as Grissom picked up the papers from earlier and tossed them in the middle of the table.
"Triple homicide at the Tangiers. Get moving."
Grissom was sitting in his office when a young woman walked in.
"Gil Grissom?" she asked.
"Yes, you must be Samantha. Come on in, take a seat."
"Please, call me Sam". The woman was about 5'7, pale skin with a hint of freckles left over from childhood on her face. Blue eyes and shoulder length reddish brown hair completed the image. She was dressed casually, black pants and a button down. She appeared confident, but her voice shook just enough to let on to Grissom that she was nervous.
"Welcome to Vegas. We look forward to having you work here. You come highly recommended. They loved you in Boston. Why come here?"
Sam leaned forward, forearms on her thighs, eyes sparkling with excitement. "Boston's a great city…but very boring. Things happen in Vegas that don't happen anywhere else. It's a very weird city. But I love weird. If I am going to be in this field, I want to deal with the creepiest, weirdest, most out there stuff there is to offer."
"You will certainly fit in great…" Grissom laughed as he handed Samantha the paperwork.
