Wishes on Eyelashes

Sara arrived on the scene 10 minutes after she received a page from her supervisor. This was her first day on the job as a CSI, and she was scared shit-less.

"Hey," yelled a tall man to Sara as she approached the yellow crime scene tape.

"Hi," greeted Sara back nervously.

"You ready?" he asked studying her.

Sara swallowed nervously over the lump beginning to rise in her throat and nodded. "Yeah," she croaked.

Paul, her supervisor, didn't look convinced.

Sara smiled weakly at him. He greeted her by saying, "I'm Paul."

He continued to stare at Sara for a moment longer before breaking into a smile, "Okay, let's go!"

He then lifted the yellow tape up for Sara as she ducked underneath and stepped into the crime scene.

Sara then followed Paul into the house where the crime had happened. As they entered the house, Paul began to explain what happened. It was a homicide. A 27 year old male had been stabbed to death in his sleep on the living room couch.

"I warn you, it's going to be brutal Sara," warned Paul as he led Sara into the living room where the body was.

Sara held her breath and clutched the handle on her kit so hard making her knuckles turn white as she walked into the room. The whole room smelled like copper, like pennies. There was blood casted off on the wall the couch lay against. She hovered by the doorway taking in the whole room. If it wasn't for the puddle of blood, she would have assumed that the guy was peacefully sleeping. Sara took in the mismatch furniture to the toys lying in a pile in the corner of the room next to where the television was still on.

Paul followed Sara's gaze, "Yeah he had kids, a boy, 7 and a girl, 2. The boy is the one who called it in."

Sara just stared at Paul horrified at this news.

"I know," spoke Paul sadly nodding his head in agreement. "Kid came home from school to find his mother standing over his father with a bloody knife in her hand. His mother simply looked at him and said dinner will be ready soon, she then went back into the kitchen."

Sara then thought back to that brutal night when she was 8. How the room had smelled the same and looked. Except it had happened in the kitchen and there had been a struggle. Sara then closed her eyes tight trying to block out the images of her parents struggling with each other, a knife between then. How the knife came down and punctured her father's abdomen. And how she had watched this all through her eight year old eyes at the kitchen table where she had been doing her homework.

"Sara," spoke Paul, drawing her out of her past back to the present. "I want you to photograph the body and the room. Take multiple shots and angles."

Sara nodded her head at this.

Sara slipped on the white lab coat and took a deep breath before stepping into the morgue, where she would be attending her first autopsy.

"Ah there is the rookie!" teased Dr. Monk the Medical Examiner. He always enjoyed teasing the rookie CSIs.

"Easy there Stan," grinned Paul. "You ready?" he asked to Sara who approached them.

Sara nodded her head.

"Ok then," cried Dr. Monk clapping his hands together, "Let's gets this baby on the road!" He then lifted up the white sheet and revealed the body of their victim, Louis Kidd.

Sara felt her stomach rumble as Dr. Monk began to cut open the victim.

Her stomach twisted and turned as Dr. Monk removed the rib plate revealing Louis Kidd's internal organs from his still pink heart to his liver and stomach. As the smell filled the room, Sara could feel the acid in her stomach began to rise up her esophagus to her throat. She tried to keep it down but she couldn't.

Sara then clasped a hand over her mouth and made a beeline towards the door. As the door closed behind her, Dr. Monk chuckled, "She lasted longer than most do!"

Out in the hallway Sara threw up dry.

Once her stomach was done heaving, she made her way over to the lady's washroom. She rinsed out her mouth and splashed cold water on to her face. She then looked up and studied her face in the mirror. Her skin was pale and hollow looking. She then noticed an eyelash hanging off of the tip of her nose.

Sara carefully reached for the eyelash, pitching it between her forefinger and thumb. She then closed her eyes and made a wish on it.

'I wish that this job will get easier and soon!' She then blew the eyelash away, where it fell into the washroom sink and down the drain.

Sara then dried her face and hands with a paper towel and then made his way back into the hallway, where her supervisor was waiting for her.

Sara fell asleep the minute her head touched her pillow. It had been a long, exhausting first day.

"Bbbbbbbbrrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnggggg, bbbbbbrrrrriiinnnnggg, brrrrriiiinnnnggg…" rang the phone.

Sara opened up her eyes lazily at this.

"Bbbbrrriinnngggg," rang the phone again.

"Garr," moaned Sara as she reached over and grabbed the cord less phone which lay on the night stand.

"Hello," answered a groggy Sara.

"Hey," greeted the other line.

Sara let out a frustrated sigh at this.

"Hey it's me Grissom,"

"I know who you are," snapped Sara.

"Then what was with the sigh?" asked back Grissom.

"Because I am tired," complained Sara.

Grissom laughed into the phone at this. "Its only 10!"

"Yeah 10!" pointed out Sara. "Not everyone is on the night shift!"

"That's why I am calling," spoke Grissom. "I wanted to see how you first day as a CSI went."

"It was okay," mumbled Sara.

"It will get better," spoke Grissom with sympathy. "You'll see."

Sara couldn't help but smile at this. Grissom always had away of making her feel better, over the seven years they had known each other so far.

"You think?" she asked.

"I don't think," he spoke, "I know!"
