Pairing: Grissom and a new character Spoilers: This story is out of time with that of the show, it runs another path away from the last few episodes of season three with sometime before the arrival of the new character.

Rating: Not yet rated Summary: Moving Forwards. Disclaimer: CSI characters are not mine, although I really wish they were. However, all other characters are, as well as the idea. A/N: This is my first attempt at a fanfic and as much as I am an avid G/S shipper, I wanted to try an introduction of a new char. I believe, to my beta reader's surprise that this story was not Sara's story. Notes: Thanks Rox, you're the best. Archived: Yes, please!

Feedback is welcomed. No flames please as I don't think my exposed heart could handle it!

Having said all that, hope you enjoy the story.

Chapter 1 Contemplation

"It was a mistake, it was such a mistake!" She kept repeating to herself.

"It was mistake. When had she decided that this was such a great idea? When had she determined that she was ready for such a move! What if?!.No she needed to do this or she would forever be frozen. She had to move on, Erin would have wanted it that way, and there was no way that.nah." She brushed that thought aside; today was the first day of the rest of her life.

As she brushed aside such a gloomy thought, she peered out the windshield of her Blazer to stare at the LVPD. This was a fresh start, at a new job, no one knew her and most certainly knew nothing of her past, and her past, what a joke she thought to herself. More like a nightmare that had come true and would forever be part of her.

"Well Liam, let's go boy," she said to her 130lb Mastiff.

Her father had given her Liam, on the night that she left the hospital; that night, so long ago. Her father had told her that the gangly puppy was to be her "guardian", 'that he would protect her no matter what', hence his name, for Liam means "determined guardian" and since that night he has never left her side.

As she waited for Liam to jump down from his seat, she took a deep breath and counted to ten. At one, she found herself inside the main doors, looking around for some indication of where she was to find her new boss.

Several people walked by and gave her the up and down look but kept on walking. She thought to herself, "So much for this being a friendly environment." She quickly looked down at Liam and stated "Well Liam, if no one is going to help, then we'll go find them ourselves"

With her continuous wandering around the building in hopes to find someone to point her in the right direction, she eventually came across a door marked 'break room'. "Well Liam, what do you think? Wanna sit down for a bit? Since it appears that everyone in this entire department is out on a case." Liam quickly looked at her and jumped onto the couch that was in front of her.

'Why not?' she thought to herself, and with a sigh she sat down beside Liam.

As she sat there she thought to herself.'God, I hope I am making the right decision.' She had come so far since that night so long ago. Her long hair was now cut in a short spiked pixie look, with a few blue tips that matched her eyes. Erin would have loved that! Her Dad on the other hand, had been slightly less supportive with her decision, not in the cutting of her hair, just those 'damn blue tips', as he used to call them.

She remembered the look on his face when she strolled into the house, considering everything he had seen on the force, nothing could have prepared him for his daughter and her transformation. Deep down inside he understood her need to change everything about herself, and in the end he was just glad to have her alive. He could only hope that one day she would find peace and someone that she could trust and see through this elaborate disguise that she had created for herself.

It was just a few days later that she had received the letter from The Las Vegas Police Department, stating that her department had approved her request and that she just needed to fill out a few forms and a level 3- access card would be waiting for when she arrived. This was to the beginning; she needed everything to be new in order to move on. Her father drove her to the airport a week later, a one-way e-ticket in her hand.

She looked down at the ticket; just to make sure that is was real.

The total confirmed that it was in a fact real, and that she was about to leave behind all she had ever known to start on a new journey.

As she watched the airport attendant take her baggage to special claims she turned and looked at her father.

"Dad.." Was all that she managed to get out before the tears began to fall and his arms in circled her in a comforting embrace.

"Shhh.honey, you are doing the right thing. I love you so much and I am so proud of you! Remember I am only a phone call away. Now go and live your life," her father whispered into her ear.

"I love you too, old man," Bree said as she pulled a way from her father and began to giggle.

"Old man, huh, I'll remember that. No go before you miss your flight," her dad said.

With one last hug, Bree turned from father and headed towards the departure gates, towards her new life.
