Gary Rogers

Disclaimer" I do not own CSI

A/N: UGH my muse seems to be falling asleep or going on vacation or something so I will do my best with this chapter.

Gary Rogers had a sex change operation when he was in his mid-20's. He used to be Tessa Chase, but he knew growing up he was more man than woman. As "Tessa" she had only a few dates in high school as the boys just weren't interested because she was way too butch to be a woman. So she went through all the requirements to become a man. Tessa decided that she would leave a suicide note to her family. Truth be told she was in effect killing Tessa – to become Gary. The Chase family didn't want anyone to know their daughter killed herself so when people asked about their daughter, the Chase family agreed to say she died in a car accident in another state. End of story.

Gary went to university as "Gary Rogers" and nobody knew about his sex change. That is until he met Freda and Edwina who both rented apartments from him. Best friends from childhood and women who love to poke their nose into everyone's business decided to do some investigation on Gary. One day when he was out of town the two sneaky women broke into his apartment and rifled through his things. They knew something was just not kosher with him. Gary lacked something that all men have which made them wonder what exactly this individual was….

Shortly before Gary's murder….

"Edwina, I'm a little nervous, what if he comes back early?"

Will you cool it! Gary is not going to be back early. He said he was going to L.A. for the weekend. Apparently there is some issue with an apartment building he owns there. Like he ever fixes things in this apartment building.

Freda was still a little nervous. "What are we going to prove with this investigation? We can get arrested for break and enter!"

"Freda, stop your paranoia. We will NOT be arrested for anything. I have a great lawyer."

They continued their search and found something. "Aha! Here it is. Gary did have a sex change. He used to be Tessa Chase. Quite a beautiful woman, kinda butch, but very pretty nonetheless." Edwina said smiling.

"So now that we have the info what are we going to do?"

"Talk to the family. Apparently they think Tessa killed herself!"

Edwina and Freda drove to the Chase house.

"Edwina, do you actually know these people?"

"Yes I do" she said simply.

When the door opened Gloria Chase stood there. "Hi Edwina, what's up?"

"I have some information about the death of your daughter." She said.

Gloria waved them in and yelled for Steven to join them.

"What is this about Tessa's suicide? What do you know, how do you know anything?" Steven said.

"Tessa is not dead." Edwina told them.

Gloria and Steven gasped. "What?"

"She is not dead. If she committed suicide you would expect to see her body correct – but you didn't because she is NOT dead."

"Then where is she?" Gloria demanded.

"She is managing an apartment building in the East End. She is now a man named "Gary Rogers. Look at this picture." Edwina showed them the picture and they gasped.

"JESZ" Steven gasped. "My daughter is now a transsexual?"

Edwina nodded. "He manages the apartment that we live in."

"I want to talk to him."

"Here is the address, but he won't be home until tomorrow."

"Fine. Tomorrow we will go see him…" Steven said.

Edwina and Freda left with big grins on their faces. They loved creating trouble.

The following day. Gary Rogers arrived home and went right to his apartment. He had just driven the long distance from LA to Vegas and he was tired. He also had received word that his favourite tenants were moving out temporarily, he had managed to convince them to return back to the apartment on a different floor after the baby was born. He knew that Wendy was carrying Sara's baby and the best interest of them all was if David and Wendy moved into Sara and Grissom's mansion for the duration of the pregnancy. Gary had promised to fix up an apartment on an upper floor. He sighed and decided to take a look at that apartment. So he rode up the elevator.

Meanwhile while Gary was on his way to the unused apartments, Steven had knocked on Gary's door intent on talking to him. But he wasn't in so he went to Edwina's apartment.

"Yes Steven what's up did you talk to Gary."

"He is not in."

"GO up to the upper floors – the ones that are unused… he muttered something about going up there….."

Steven nodded evilly and touched the knife he had on him as well as the gun he had. There is no way this person Gary was going to ruin the Chase name
