Author's Note:
Okay, so I came up with this idea out of nowhere. I love love CSI: NY so much and I just decided to write a fanfic. I own nothing except Janelle Waters. I don't own CBS' CSI:NY or any of the characters. Right now, I am unsure of where the story is going and what's going to happen,; I'm just going to keep on writing and I'll see where it takes me. I like to think that I just write and let it flow out of me. So, for right now, just sit back and enjoy…..Discovering New Things.

Summary-
The team gets a new CSI named Janelle Waters. As the new member of the team, Janelle Waters wants to show the other team members she can do this. She isn't a newbie, she's just new to NYC. Living in Daytona Beach, Florida her whole life, Janelle has been raised as a southern baby doll. But now, grown up, living on her own in NYC, it's up to Janelle to find her way and make a life here as a CSI in New York. And sometimes the hurdles thrown at you aren't what you expect.
Chapter 1: A New City: NYC - A New Life
Janelle Waters looked at her newly bought apartment overlaying the busy and vast streets of New York City. The apartment was definitely more than she needed. Leaving her bag on the counter next to the door, she studied her "home." To her left was a good sized kitchen with the perfect counters overlooking into the living room. The living room had a set-up as if it were a hotel, the couch facing the television, with coffee tables and lamps. Off to the right were two bedrooms, one an office and the other a bedroom. The office held a library and desk and was elaborately decorated. The bedroom needed some work, up-dating the furniture and painting the walls, but other than that, Janelle thought this place was an amazing deal since she had just moved out to NYC two days ago.
1 weeks earlier:
"Janelle, the captain wants to see you in his office, now." Her partner, Lizzie Newman said.
"Thanks," As she headed down the corridor of her work, she had no idea that her life would be changed drastically in a matter of minutes.
"Waters, "Captain Blake announced standing as she entered his office.
" Sir,"
" As you know, the department is grateful tot have you, and as a promotion and a new opportunity I am sending you to the New York City Crime Scene Unit." Captain Blake explained. Janelle, completely shocked, tried to regain herself. She knew she had a slight chance at the promotion when she applied for it 3 weeks ago, but it was still a slight chance. She sat in her boss's office and for a moment she didn't even think she heard him right.
"Yes, Waters, you heard me right. The company has been lucky to have you and it's going to be hard letting you go, but this is an amazing opportunity for you. I know Mac Taylor will be an excellent boss and I fully believe that you will make it up there. Congratulations."
The knock on her door broke her thoughts. She answered and found a sweet, elderly woman, standing before her.
"Hi, I'm Edna. I live next door to you and just wanted to welcome you to this area." Edna said handing Ariel a plate of cookies.
"Thank you. I'm Janelle. It's very nice to meet you." After a 20 minute chat with Edna, Janelle placed herself once again in the middle of her apartment. It was just different to call this home. Back home, in Florida, the sun shined everywhere and you couldn't walk anywhere for less than 5 minutes without feeling like you were having a heat stroke. But in NYC, it was just different. And after having spent the afternoon shopping for work clothes and shoes today, Ariel did nothing but sit down and watch TV. The next morning, her alarm blared at 5:45am. Her busy life started once again. After rushing to get ready, Janelle finally made her way to the office where she was supposed to meet Detective Mac Taylor first thing at 7 am. Knocking first, Janelle opened the glass door to Mac's office. She had noted that a few people stared at her as she walked down the hall. A woman in a pant suit outfit with a head full of curls and a fair complexion glanced up from her work as she heard another set of heels approaching. A man with clear- rimmed glasses and a short haircut whistled at her and as he did as short woman with soft curls and light brown/ blonde hair hit him on the shoulder.
"Janelle Waters." Mac Taylor said from his desk. "Please sit." He gestured toward the chair. Janelle seated herself and shook hands with Mac as he spoke, "It's very nice to meet you. I've heard many things about you and your work in Florida. You are a wonderful CSI and we're glad to have you on our team." Mac swept his eyes up and down as if he were analyzing her as he talked. The woman sitting in front of him was by no means what he expected, and yet he was even more intrigued by her than he thought he would be. Her calm, yet wonderful presence stirred Mac more than he knew it should. He had only met her seconds ago, but he felt him self already liking her, and too much he knew. He cleared his throat before continuing, "Again, welcome and let me show you around." He got up from his chair and she did the same. Mac opened the door like a gentleman and showed her around the building and introduced her to the team. As Mac was showing her the lab and her work space, Janelle took all of it in with no problem. The lab seemed like it was well-organized, a characteristic which Janelle was well at. The woman with unruly, curly hair was named Stella. The young man with clear-rimmed glasses was Danny and the woman who had hit him was Lindsay. They all seemed nice and were welcoming to her. Mac ,then, led her into the different parts of the building showing her the morgue and such. Mac informed her that she was to complete her shooting range exam before getting her credentials here in NYC. And by noon, she had those credentials. She made her way from Mac's office to the break room. Lindsay and Stella were busily chatting away and spotted her in a second.
"Janelle, come on over here."
Danny soon followed and they all took time to get to know each other.
"So, how did you end up in New York?" Lindsay asked.
"Promotion." They chatted for what seemed like an hour, but only was 20 minutes. And shortly later, Mac came in with two folders.
"Two cases." He handed a folder to Stella and said, "DB, woman stabbed once in the chest and slashed throat on 14th Boulder Ave. Hotel Kingdom. Room 431. Take Waters with you." Stella got up and Janelle followed her out to the car.
