Episode 1.1

The forensics team were busy gathering evidences when a woman in her 20's enters the scene.

"Hey uncle." There she stood, her long black hair down to her shoulders, her bangs were gracefully being caressed by the wind. Grissom stood up and turned to his back.

"Gabriel! Good to see you but I think its not the proper place to exchange greetings." Grissom said. "I can see that, Uncle. By the way, I didn't tell brother that I was going to help the forensics team for two months. You know how he hates science." Gabriel smiled. "You can also tell him that I'll be tutoring him Science when I pay him a visit." Grissom replied. Gabriel laughed.

"Hey, uh… Griss…" Greg with his usual wet look stepped up. Grissom and Gabriel turned to Sanders.

"Yes Greg?" Grissom asked. "Uh…. Sarah and I checked the house. The mother was also found dead on the master's bedroom. Same shot on the head. Right now I'm still working on it, so yeah…" Greg said, his attention to the new member.

"Oh…. Congratulations… Greg…" Grissom said, trying to pull Greg's attention. "Oh… thanks…" Greg smiled and raised his brows.

"So… who's the new-"

"Gabriel Anderson. She'll be joining the forensics team for a couple of months. " Grissom introduced.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Greg Sanders." Greg and Gabriel shook hands and exchanged smiles.

"She's my niece." Grissom added. Greg raised a brow, disbelief expression on his face.

"Greg, while you're still at it, take Gabriel with you. The size of the house is a bit outsizing." Grissom winked.

"oh, you bet. I could really use a partner." Greg smiled. "nice to be working with you , Greg." Gabriel smiled. "My pleasure."

"So, you're the old man's niece eh?" Greg asked while examining the dead mother's body. "Mmhmm… why'd you ask?" Gabriel asked, looking for clues in the room. "Oh, nothing. Just forget it." Gabriel took a glance at Greg and laughed softly.

"What?" Greg asked, turning to Gabriel. "Oh, nothing. Just forget it." Gabriel returned what Greg said and smiled. Greg just gave a blank look and resumed examining the body.

"Hey Greg, I just found out that the mom was taking pills." Sara entered the room.

"Oh great! That explains the gun we found!" Greg said, standing up.

"Suicide?" Gabriel asked. "Mmmmaybe.." Greg replied.

"Oh, hey there." Sara said. "Hi." Gabriel smiled. "You're a new face, aren't you?" Sara asked. "Oh, my name's Gabriel Anderson." Gabriel and Sarah shook hands. "Well nice to meet you Gabriel, I'm Sara Sidle." Sarah said. "Oh!! You're the one that uncle's talking about." Gabriel smiled. Sara raised a brow.

"Uncle?"

"She's Grissom's niece. " Greg said, bagging the evidence he found. Sarah turned back to Gabriel with an amazed look.

"Hard to believe, isn't it?" Greg added. Gabriel just gave an innocent smile.

Back at the Lab…

"Hey Griss, we found another victim inside a car. No signs of struggle , no blood either." Nick said as he went to Grissom's office.

"What can you say, Gri-"

"Oh… Hi… uncle's not here at the moment." Gabriel said. Nick narrowed his eyes.

"And you are?" Gabriel reached her hand out to Nick.

"Gabriel Anderson. Grissom's niece. I'll be joining you guys for a couple of months." She smiled.

"Ooh, nice to meet you…" Nick said as he looked at his hands, occupied with files.

"Do you… need help with that?" Gabriel smiled at Nick. "Why certainly." Nick smiled back.

Grissom was concentrating on some files when Sara came.

"Met the niece." Sara said. "Such an angel isn't she?" Grissom asked. "Wow, I'm surprised to hear the word 'angel' from you." Sarah said, Grissom just stared.

"Well anyway, Dr. Robbins recovered a 22 caliber bullet from the child's head, same bullet from the gun that the mother was holding. " Sara reported.

"A mother killing her child then commits suicide?" Grissom asked. "Could be she must've gone mad…"

"Or…"

"A mother trying to save her child…"

"Hey Gabe! You know Dr. Robbins recovered a-" Greg's smile faded as he entered Griss' office, expecting to find Gabriel.

"Sorry Greg. 'Gabe' is not here." Grissom said. "Well, where is she?" Grrg asked. "I sent her back to the Andrews Residence to collect more evidence about the murder." Grissom replied.

"Alone?" Greg asked. Grissom turned to Greg in a serious mode.

"You could've sent some help." Greg said. "Don't worry. The police are with her." Grissom said. "…Right…" Greg just took a deep breath. "Are you alright Greg?" Grissom asked. "Y-yeah…just… too much coffee…" Greg said and went out. Grissom raised his brows.

Gabriel was checking around the house. She walked into the dark hallway only accompanied by a little flashlight. There she saw a switch, but the few seemed dead. She moved deeper into the shadows. She hears footsteps, drawing near. She was sure it wasn't hers. She keeps walking… the nearer she goes the louder it gets. She slowly took her gun out and focused.

"Las Vegas Police!" she said.

Drawing nearer, she saw a face,

A scream was heard.
