Chapter 1 - nervous (Prolog)

To say that he was nervous was an understatement and he's not normaly a nervous kind of guy but tonight he was. It was Greg Sanders first day at the Las Vegas Crime lab as the new DNA tech. He already met the grave shift superviser, Gil Grissom, and he was kind of creeped out by the guy, with his bug collections and pigs in jars,He hoped the other CSI's weren't like there superviser. He also met the LVPD caption, Caption Jim Brass, he seemed like a nice guy all thought he didn't say much.

As he walked into his bathroom "I just don't look like myself." he thought as he looked at himself in his mirror. He had on his nice blue long sleve dress shirt and nice jean on. Then he remmbered what papa Olaf told him when he first started school in Norway, "Never pretend you someone your not because one day you will forget who you were." With those words of wisdom in his head, Greg walked back into his room and changed into his favorit graiph tee and jeans."Hope today goes okay." Greg said to himself as he walked back into the bathroom to finish getting ready.

"So you think the new DNA guy will be here today? or will we have to deal with another borning young, unqulified sub in." Nick Stokes as his firend and fellow CSI Warrick Brown as they walked the halls the of the Crime lab eventually walking up to their supervise's office.

"I don't know man, but I hope so." Warrick answered as he opened the door to Grissoms office, exposing the many bugs in jars and in cages scattered in the office, that had light seafoam green walls littered with pictures of crimes and more bugs in frames, on the far wall a desk with two chairs on the oppiset side for visitos to sit in and Grissoms favorit piece his radiated fetal pig on one of his many shelves. Grissom sat behind his desk, while Sara Sidel sat in front of him and Catherine Willows stood off to the side of the desk "So Gris do we get to meet the new DNA tech today?" Warick asked his and Sara turned to face Grissom.

"Yes he will becomeing in today for his first night on the job." Grissom said as he took of his glassses and looked at the four CSI's in front of him "So give us a little background on this new guy." Catherine said as she took the other set next to Sara. Nick and Warrick walked in and shut the door to get a little more privacy. "His name is Gregory Hojem-Sanders." Grissom started before Warrick cut him off asking "Hojem? what is that like Greek?" He aked baffled "Ahh no it's actually norwegian." Grissom said in a matter of fact voice. The four of them looked at him. "norwegian?" Catherine asked. "yes norwegian he said he lived there for 11 years. His mother moved there when he was 3, after she got divorced from his father. They movied to california when he was 14 so he could finish high school here in America." Grissom paused before continuing. "He finished high school when he was 16, waited a year and then started college,he graduated at the age of 21 with a masters degree in DND prossing and a Bachelor's degree in trace." Sara cut him off this time, "So he's like a genius or something?" She asked as if reading everyone mind in the room.

"yeah how old is this guy?" Nick piped in, not beliving a word Grissom was saying. Grissom looked at Greg's file, then back to the fou people stading before of him "Says here he's only 22."
"22?" Warrick and Nick asked at the same time. "yes 22" Grissom concurred.
Nick looked at him surpised and didn't knoe heat to say to his boos, "oh, When is he getting here?" He fnaly asked.

"Shift startes in an hour and a half so I would say within the hour." Grissom acknowledge, the four CSI's nodded back and walked out of his office.
"22 really!" Warrick said once Grissom's door was shut. "I know man right, Norwegian?" Nick added, "He has to be nerdy looking, graduating high school at 16 then college at 21 with two degrees!" Sara said not understanding. "Come on guys, give this guy a chance, he has to be better then the subs we have been having." Catherine said in a motherlike voice.

Greg walked out of his bathroom with his hair an origized mess and walked to his little living room that had plan tan walls and bagie capiting "man I really need to change this wall color!" he said as he walked past his orangish couch to his door where he picked up his favorit black and white puma shoes and walked back to his couch and sat down with a sigh, "It's now or never." He exclamed before putting his shoes on and walked out of his appartment and to his dark blue car, that had purple fuzzy dice hanging from the rear view mirror. Greg put the keys into the ignition, started the car and drove to the crime lab.
