Angst and Chaos

Disclaimer: I do not own CSI

A/N: I am going to spare my readers the details of the fictitious baseball game that Hodges and Wendy went to except to say, as usual – the Dogers beat the Blue Jays as expected. It was a tie game up until the 8the inning when a Dodger got a grand slam and basically ending it for them. The jays did come back with a run in the 9th, but it didn't help much….

They left the stadium, their souvenirs in hand ready for the rest of the days fun. They stopped back at their hotel and dropped their stuff off and continued to walk around. They didn't know where they were going or what they wanted to do, all they did know was they were having a lot of fun in L.A. But that was all going to come to an end as soon as they got back to their hotel room.

The hotel clerk was on them as soon as they arrive back at the hotel.

"Mr. Hodges, Miss Simms thank goodness you're back. You are needed to call Catherine Willows right now."

"W-what happened?"

"She didn't say but she wants you to call her and then to get back to Las Vegas pronto." The clerk told them.

They nodded and headed up to their room. While Wendy packed up their things, Hodges called Catherine.

"Crime Lab" Judy said.

"Hi Judy, can you put me through to Catherine please."

"Oh Hodges thank God you called, I'm putting you through now." She said.

"Willows"

"Catherine its Hodges and Wendy what is going on??"

"We need you back at the lab pronto, leave the car there if necessary and we'll get it brought back to Vegas another time. We need you guys back in the lab."

"Catherine, tell me what is going on."

"Oh David – there's been a horrible horrible airplane crash with multiples and we need you and Wendy to assist in the field and then do the analysis."

"US in the field?"

"Collecting evidence, its all hands on deck – we even get some cadets as well"

"Ok we're on it. We will see if we can get a flight out right away if not - we'll have to just drive we may not have a choice."

"Ok if you have to drive, put your siren on. This is official business." She said.

They hung up and checked out of the hotel a day early. Since their last night was already paid for, they were promised a night in the future. It was keyed in – in the system that they get a "free" night the next time they stay at a holiday inn – no matter where they are.

They managed to get a flight out right away so they had to leave the car in the hotel parking lot. The hotel told them it would be fine as it was official police business and they would not charge for parking.

They arrived in Las Vegas two hours later and took a cab to the lab, put their bags in their lockers and went to Catherine's office……
